SUMMARY:Mathematical Biology Seminar by Dr. Zhisheng Shuai
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4203105/mathematical-biology-seminar-by-dr-zhisheng-shuai/
DESCRIPTION:[Mathematical Biology Seminar](https://sciences.ucf.edu/mathbio/mathematical-biology-seminar/)\n\n[Dr. Zhisheng Shuai](https://sciences.ucf.edu/sdmss/person/zhisheng-shuai/), a professor in the UCF School of Data, Mathematical, and Statistical Sciences) will speak on "The Mathematics of Spatial Ecology and Epidemiology: A Perspective from Matrix and Graph Theory" at this week's seminar.\n\nAbstract: Understanding how spatial and temporal heterogeneity influences population and disease dynamics is a central challenge in ecology and epidemiology. In this talk, we explore mathematical approaches that connect matrix theory, graph theory, and differential equations to model and analyze these complex systems. In particular, we demonstrate how generalized inverses and related tools from linear algebra and graph theory can quantify variability in population persistence, growth rates and disease invasibility across heterogeneous habitats. By integrating these techniques with differential equation models, we examine the effects of habitat structure, resource distribution and migration on population stability and disease spread. The talk highlights how mathematical frameworks provide novel insights into ecological resilience, conservation strategies and infectious disease management, illustrating to a general audience the interplay between mathematical theory and real-world biological systems.\n\nShort Bio: Dr. Zhisheng Shuai is a professor of mathematics in the School of Data, Mathematical, and Statistical Sciences at UCF. Prior to joining UCF in 2012, he earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a master's degree in applied mathematics from Northeast Normal University in China. He then earned his doctoral degree in applied mathematics from the University of Alberta before completing an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Victoria, supported by the prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Dr. Shuai's research focuses on mathematical ecology and epidemiology, differential equations and dynamical systems. His current research investigates how various mathematical modeling approaches can be used to study the complex dynamics of infectious diseases. Beyond his research, Dr. Shuai has played a significant role in UCF's mathematical modeling curriculum and has led efforts to recruit and train UCF teams, resulting in impressive rankings in various math modeling competitions. He has been honored with the UCF Teaching Incentive Program award for his outstanding teaching. Dr. Shuai also serves as a reviewer for several research journals, including the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Journal on Applied Mathematics, Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems and many others.

SUMMARY:Seminar: "Programming Light and Quantum Electrodynamic Interactions in Two-Dimensional Quantum Materials"-Michael Leuenberger/Nano & Physics, UCF
URL:https://events.ucf.edu/event/4129640/seminar-programming-light-and-quantum-electrodynamic-interactions-in-two-dimensional-quantum-materials-michael-leuenbergernano-physics-ucf/
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nModern quantum technologies depend on our ability to understand, predict, and ultimately engineer interactions between electrons, excitons, spins, and photons. In this colloquium, I will describe a method of turning quantum materials into programmable quantum systems. I will first briefly discuss how many-body GW-Bethe-Salpeter and Kadanoff-Baym approaches provide a predictive framework for the linear and nonlinear optical response of two-dimensional semiconductors, including excitonic effects, harmonic generation, and design rules for enhanced nonlinear response in layered materials. I will then focus on recent work showing that a gate-tunable conductor-dielectric-conductor heterostructure can provide universal tuning of quantum electrodynamic interactions: the same platform allows interactions to be switched from familiar power-law behavior to exponential screening and even logarithmic antiscreening, with direct implications for reconfigurable Coulomb, dipolar, van der Waals/Casimir-Polder, and spin-spin interactions.\n\nBio:  \nMichael N. Leuenberger is Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Central Florida, with appointments in the NanoScience Technology Center and Department of Physics. He is also a Visiting Scientist at MIT. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics from the University of Basel, Switzerland, under Daniel Loss, and subsequently held postdoctoral positions at the University of Iowa with Michael Flatte and at UC San Diego with Lu Sham. His research spans quantum information science, nonlinear optics, many-body theory of quantum materials, and multiscale modeling of quantum devices. He has led or co-led research supported by AFOSR, ARO, DARPA, NSF, and ONR, and his recent work includes predictive many-body theories of nonlinear optical response in 2D materials, excitonic quantum matter in breathing-kagome materials, and programmable quantum electrodynamic interactions in van der Waals heterostructures.
