Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) FAU Student Chapter The SIAM officers will use part of the time to reflect on what SIAM has done in the past year and discuss future plans for the upcoming Fall and Spring semesters. Even if you have not attended a previous SIAM meeting, please join us to enjoy light refreshments and food with other graduate students and learn more about SIAM and how you can get involved. No need to RSVP, all are welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to let us know by sending us an email or reaching out to the SIAM faculty advisor, Dr. Francis Motta fmotta@fau.edu. |

Ph. D. Defense Speaker: David Blessing, Ph. D. Candidate Advisor: Dr. Jason Mireles-James Title: Parameterization of Invariant Circles in Maps Abstract: We explore a novel method of approximating topologically trivial invariant circles in area preserving maps. The process begins by leveraging improvements on Birkhoff’s Ergodic Theorem via Weighted Birkhoff Averages to compute high precision estimates on several Fourier modes. We then set up a Newton-like iteration to further improve the estimation and extend the approximation out to a sufficient number of modes to yield a significant decay in the magnitude of the coefficients of high order. With this approximation in hand, we explore the phase space near the approximate invariant circle with a form numerical continuation where the rotation number is perturbed and the process is repeated. Then, we turn our attention to a completely different problem which can be approached in a similar way to the numerical continuation, finding a Siegel disk boundary in a holomorphic map. Given a holomorphic map which leads to a formally solvable cohomological equation near the origin, we use a numerical continuation style process to approximate an invariant circle in the Siegel disk near the origin. Using an iterative scheme, we then enlarge the invariant circle so that it approximates the boundary of the Siegel disk.

Young CryptograpHers Cybersecurity Summer Camp Young CryptograpHers is a Cybersecurity summer camp specially designed for high school girls. Participants will be introduced to the fundamental principles of cybersecurity and learn how to apply conceptual knowledge to real-world situations. The camp will focus on Post-Quantum Cryptography, the area of math that is in charge of protecting our information in the era of quantum technology. The program includes lectures and activities by FAU faculty, alumni and speakers from industry and government. Our goal is to motivate and inspire talented students who are interested in a cybersecurity career. ( flyer ) |
