Innovation Lab | Virtual Speech-Language Pathology Community Clinic Katz News Hidden Rules Link Geometry and Motion Read about the study Hidden Rules Link Geometry and Motion In a recent study, Marian Gidea, professor of mathematical sciences, explored some of the deepest structures that govern how complex systems evolve and how geometry, topology and dynamics all connect in a special class of systems called conformally symplectic systems.Read the story in the Katz School blog. Mathematician Redraws Solar System's Boundaries Read about the theory Mathematician Redraws Solar System's Boundaries When we think of the solar system, we usually imagine the Sun, the planets and maybe the icy belt of comets far beyond Pluto. But according to Edward Belbruno, a mathematician and astrophysicist, the solar system is much bigger than that, stretching even toward the stars around us.Read the story in the Katz School blog. He Used AI to Explore Vaccine Supply Chains Read Yeukai Magara's report He Used AI to Explore Vaccine Supply Chains Yeukai Gilmore Magara, a biotech student consultant with DREAM Venture Labs, studied how artificial intelligence can help create smarter, fairer and more resilient vaccine supply chains. His report, 鈥淥ptimizing Pandemic Vaccine Supply Chains: AI-Driven Strategies & Future Directions,鈥 examines how AI could drastically reduce waste and make vaccines more accessible in future health crises.Read the story in the Katz School blog.
