IGB Faculty Spotlight Lecture Pamela Martinez Vargas, PhD University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology and Department of Statistics "SARS-CoV-2 dynamics across scales: From within-host dynamics to socioeconomic disparities"

-
Information flow in the cortex is classically considered as feedforward-hierarchical computation. However, recent findings have started to reveal rather parallel and distributed processing. Here, I will discuss our work studying parallel sensory pathways across the primary and higher auditory cortices in extracting complex sound features.

-
"Emergent behavior and phase transition in cell-ECM systems mediated by long range cell-cell mechanical interaction" Umnia Doha, PhD Student, Mechanical Science & Engineering Instrument: LSM 710 Lunch will be provided

-
The transition to graduate school is even more complicated when it is also accompanied by a transition to a new country. In this workshop, a panel of international graduate students will answer questions and share their experiences; all students are welcome to attend, but RSVP from international students will have priority.

-
Brain's can be modeled as functional networks, where interregional connections and their weights are estimated as a correlations. Here I will present an approach for exactly decomposing these connections (edges) into their time-varying contributions. This approach yields framewise estimates of networks across time and can be used to estimate the novel construct of "edge fu
