Title: Theoretical studies on biological oscillations by using waveform data and mathematical models Abstract: Temporal waveforms of biological oscillations are of various shapes. In our research, we have explored the functional implications of these waveform shapes. In particular, we theoretically showed that the period of circadian clocks is proportional to the waveform distortion from sinusoidal wave. It suggests that the circadian period can be stable against temperature changes only if the waveform becomes more distorted at higher temperatures. In this talk, I will explain my past research and discuss my future plans.

In this talk, we discuss the paper : “Solving Inverse Problems in Medical Imaging with Score-Based Generative Models” by Y Song et al. Reconstructing medical images from partial measurements is an important inverse problem in Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Existing solutions based on machine learning typically train a model to directly …

In this talk, we discuss the paper : “Diffusion Posterior Sampling for Linear Inverse Problem Solving- A Filtering Perspective” by Z. Dou& Y. Song Diffusion models have achieved tremendous success in generating high-dimensional data like images, videos and audio. These models provide powerful data priors that can solve linear inverse problems in zero shot through …

Abstract: In this talk, we propose novel noise-free Bayesian optimization strategies that rely on a random exploration step to enhance the accuracy of Gaussian process surrogate models. The new algorithms retain the ease of implementation of the classical GP-UCB algorithm, but the additional random exploration step accelerates their convergence, nearly achieving the optimal convergence rate. …

Over the past decade, the phase behavior of biomolecules has garnered significant attention, particularly due to its biological implications, such as the reversible formation and dissociation of biomolecular condensates. These condensates perform diverse and essential functions within cells, including the acceleration of chemical reactions. Recent advances aim to uncover the fundamental principles of these systems …
