Abstract: Structural parameter identifiability analysis is one of the key steps of the analysis of an ODE system that depends on parameters. This problem is to decide whether the parameters of the system can be determined by a given subset of the variables of the system. We will discuss recent algorithms addressing this problem as well as related remaining challenges.

Comments: Bio: Alexey Ovchinnikov received the Diploma in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from Moscow State University, Russia, in 2004, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, in 2005 and 2007, respectively, and a Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences degree from Moscow State University, Russia, in 2008. He is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics of Queens College, City University of New York (CUNY), USA, and a Doctoral Faculty of the Ph.D. Programs in Mathematics and in Computer Science at the CUNY Graduate Center. Prior to joining CUNY, he was a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA (2007–2009). His research interests are in symbolic and symbolic-numeric computation for differential and difference equations and their applications to problems in the sciences. He is an editorial board member of Advances in Applied Mathematics and of Journal of Symbolic Computation. He was the recipient of a 2010 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award and of a 2013 Alfred P. Sloan Foundation – CUNY Junior Faculty Research Award in Science and Engineering.


Seminar on the Mathematics of Reaction Networks

Series comments: Subscription link: list.ku.dk/postorius/lists/morn.list.ku.dk/

This seminar series focuses on progress in mathematical theory for the study of reaction networks, mainly in biology and chemistry. The scope is broad and accommodates works arising from dynamical systems, stochastics, algebra, topology and beyond.

We aim at providing a common forum for sharing knowledge and encouraging discussion across subfields. In particular we aim at facilitating interactions between junior and established researchers. These considerations will be represented in the choice of invited speakers and we will strive to create an excellent, exciting and diverse schedule.

The seminar runs twice a month, typically on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, at 17:00 Brussels time (observe that this webpage shows the schedule in your current time zone). Each session consists of two 25-minute talks followed by 5-minute questions. After the two talks, longer discussions will take place for those interested. To this end, we will use breakout rooms. For this to work well, you need to have the latest version of Zoom installed (version 5.3.0 or higher), and use the desktop client or mobile app (not supported on ChromeOS).

We look forward hearing about new work and meeting many of you over zoom!

The organizers.
