  • Quantum-Inspired Approach to Analyzing Complex System Dynamics – Dongju Lim

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    In this talk, we discuss the paper "Quantum-Inspired Approach to Analyzing Complex System Dynamics" by P. Kafashi and M. Orujlu, 2025, arxiv. Abstract We present a quantum information-inspired framework for analyzing complex systems through multivariate time series. In this approach the system's state is encoded into a density matrix, providing a compact representation of higher-order

  • Stochastic theory of complex biochemical reaction networks – Chen Jia

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Biochemical reaction networks and gene regulatory networks in cells are prototypical examples of complex systems, characterized by highly nonlinear and stochastic, multilevel dynamical interactions. Gaining a deep understanding of the stochastic dynamics and thermodynamic principles governing biochemical reaction networks not only helps elucidate the intrinsic mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions and the onset and progression

  • Stochastics in medicine: Delaying menopause and missing drug doses – Sean Lawley

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Stochastic modeling and analysis can help answer pressing medical questions. In this talk, I will attempt to justify this claim by describing recent work on two problems in medicine. The first problem concerns ovarian tissue cryopreservation, which is a proven tool to preserve ovarian follicles prior to gonadotoxic treatments. Can this procedure be applied to

  • A Data-Driven Computational Framework for Identifiability and Nonlinear Dynamics Discovery in Complex Systems – Wenrui Hao

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Data-driven modeling is essential for deciphering complex biological systems, yet its utility is often constrained by two fundamental hurdles: the inability to guarantee parameter identifiability and the high computational cost of learning nonlinear dynamics. This talk introduces a unified computational framework designed to overcome these challenges, bridging theoretical rigor with scalable machine learning. The first

  • Data-driven discovery of biological oscillator models – Lendert Gelens

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Oscillatory dynamics are a found everywhere in living systems, underlying processes such as metabolic regulation, cell division, and embryonic development. Identifying the mechanisms that generate these rhythms is challenging due to nonlinear interactions, multiple time scales, and limited access to all relevant variables. Data-driven approaches offer a promising route to infer dynamical models directly from

  • Mathematics of diffusive signaling – Alan Lindsay

    B232 Seminar Room, IBS 55 Expo-ro Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of

    Diffusive transport is one of the most fundamental mechanisms by which information, mass, and chemical signals propagate in physical and biological systems. In many settings—ranging from cellular signaling to chemical sensing—communication is mediated by particles undergoing random motion and interacting with small, spatially localized targets. This talk explores the mathematical structures underlying diffusive signaling, emphasizing
