SUMMARY:Connective Tissue by Hanna Washburn
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4151889/connective-tissue-by-hanna-washburn/
DESCRIPTION:Hanna Washburn constructs sculptures from repurposed textiles, furniture, household items, and other utilitarian materials. \n\nSewing by hand and working intuitively, Washburn allows her forms to evolve into complex aggregates of color, pattern, and texture that gesture, emote, and hold space. With a background in traditional sewing, Washburn honors and experiments with her inherited process, employing and complicating textile techniques like quilting, embroidery, and upholstery. The use of recycled textiles and household objects spark moments of recognition, as materials once used to cover and comfort take on their own autonomy.  \n\nWashburn's sculptures are visually and thematically pieced together; a jumble of memories, feelings, and associations that blend, clash, and overlap. In Connective Tissue, anthropomorphic forms are caught in the process of growing and changing: curvy figures are elongating and gesticulating, reaching towards each other and animating the space. Her sculptures use posture and pattern to show how much we carry in our bodies at once: joy, silliness, softness, passion, strain, and longing.  \n\nConnective Tissue also includes a selection of works on paper and small objects that comprise another aspect of Washburn's practice. These small works are comprised of recycled paper, cardboard packaging, and other materials that are frequently discarded. All Washburn's work is united by her form of mark-making: bright, visible hand-stitching. This visual and functional element underlines the physical, anatomical aspect of sewing and visualizes the patchwork of identity-forming.

SUMMARY:Mathematical Biology Seminar by Dr. B Sagar
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4215666/mathematical-biology-seminar-by-dr-b-sagar/
DESCRIPTION:[Mathematical Biology Seminar](https://sciences.ucf.edu/mathbio/seminar/)\n\n[Dr. B Sagar](https://sciences.ucf.edu/sdmss/person/b-sagar/) (UCF School of Data, Mathematical, and Statistical Sciences) will speak on "New Insights into Lyapunov Functions in Mathematical Epidemiology" at this week's seminar.\n\nAbstract: Lyapunov functions play a central role in establishing global stability in mathematical epidemiology, but their construction remains one of the most challenging aspects of stability analysis. In this work, we introduce a new idea for constructing and applying Lyapunov functions and demonstrate its effectiveness in a multi-group, multi-stage epidemic model. The approach offers a different route to establishing global stability and reveals a structure not immediately apparent from standard Lyapunov constructions. More broadly, this idea may provide a useful direction for addressing other unresolved global stability problems.\n\nShort Bio: Dr. Sagar is a STEM postdoctoral researcher in the School of Data, Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at UCF. His current research focuses on mathematical epidemiology, dynamical systems, Lyapunov methods and computational PDEs. He earned his doctorate in applied mathematics from the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, where he researched meshless numerical methods, radial basis functions and fractional partial differential equations. He was a Halloran Scholar at SISMID, Emory University, and was selected for the SIAM Mathematical Problems in Industry Workshop and the OneMath World School in Mathematical Biology.
