Announcing a new Student-organized Seminar Series
Sponsored by the Center for Dynamic Data Analysis (DyDAn)
Dates: Held approximately every other Friday starting October 24, 2008
Time: 11:00 until 12 noon
Location: DIMACS, CoRE Bldg. Room 431, Rutgers Busch Campus, Piscataway, NJ

This student-organized seminar series is open to all, and will strive to invite speakers in the mathematical, statistical, and computational sciences whose work can be applied to problems related to homeland security. The Department of Homeland Security is a wide ranging agency with many types of problems including: detection of nuclear material, sensor location, evacuation routing, speech recognition, data analysis and exploration, risk analysis, biological outbreak detection and control, and visual analytics. Of particular interest will be risk analysis, speech and visual pattern recognition, and new methods of data analysis and exploration.
We expect the series to be of interest to applied mathematicians, computer scientists, and statisticians, as well as researchers and practitioners in bioinformatics, engineering, and epidemiology.
Suggestions for speakers or special interest topics may be sent to Emilie Hogan (eahogan@math.rutgers.edu).
DyDAn is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Center of Excellence led by Rutgers University for research on advanced methods in data analysis.
