Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide, and the people who join in. For example, you might learn about the birds […]
Home gardens, small farms, and wildland-agricultural interfaces can often be areas of increased water, food, and habitat resources for wildlife. Many people are interested in seeing wildlife on their properties, from the common visitors to the elusive wanderers. Come learn about how to monitor for wildlife in your own backyard, as well as the ecology, […]
Many scientific applications produce repeated point pattern realizations across subjects, regions, or time. While such point patterns exhibit individual variation, we assume they arise from related point processes that share […]
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting can improve final-answer performance, but it does not guarantee that intermediate reasoning steps are faithful, valid, or checkable. This proposal studies how formal methods can make natural-language […]

This thesis explores iterative methods for solving elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), which are used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model a wide range of physical phenomena. The primary application of interest here is self-gravity, modeled by Poisson’s equation. Although many numerical approaches exist, including direct matrix inversion, FFT-based methods, and classical iterative methods […]
Host-microbe systems are core to some of biology’s most consequential interactions, from the pathogens that drive infectious disease to symbionts affecting agricultural pest control and vector-borne disease transmission. Yet unlike […]
