But how can systems be designed to have this property? Recent technological  advances have created the opportunity for making technologically relevant systems that self assemble\, using strands of DNA or objects coated with DNA. We will use these systems as inspiration to formulate theoretical models to understand how self assembly works in these systems\, through theory\, numerical simulation and experiment — and start to speculate as to whether resulting principles might be useful for unravelling the rules of biological self-assembly. \nMichael Brenner is the Glover Professor of Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His research uses mathematics to examine a wide variety of problems in science and engineering\, ranging from understanding the shapes of whale flippers\, bird beaks and fungal spores\, to answering ordinary questions about daily life\, such as why a droplet of fluid splashes when it collides with a solid surface.

For the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity\, where the phenomena take place in extreme regimes\, they are even more crucial. Hawking’s 1976 paper “Breakdown of Predictability in Gravitational Collapse” presented one of the great thought experiments in the history of physics\, arguing that black holes destroy information in a way that requires a modification of the laws of quantum mechanics. Skeptics for years failed to\npoke holes in Hawking’s argument\, but concluded that if quantum mechanics is to be saved then our understanding of spacetime must break down in a radical way. I present some of the history of these ideas\, what has already been learned from this puzzle\, and the recent `firewall’ controversy\, which argues that Einstein’s theory breaks down radically for an observer falling into a black hole. \nReading material here and here. (pdf)\nLecture Slides (pdf) \nAbout the Speaker \nJoseph Polchinski (Joe) received his BS in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1975\, and his PhD in Physics from UC Berkeley in 1980. After two-year stints as a research associate at the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) and at Harvard\, he joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin in 1984. He moved to UC Santa Barbara in 1992\, where he is a Professor of Physics and a Permanent Member of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. \nPolchinski’s contributions to theoretical physics include a modern formulation of renormalization theory and some of the original work on the string landscape. He is best known for his discovery of D-branes\, extended structures that appear to be central to the mathematics and physics of string theory. He is also the author of a widely used two-volume text on string theory. \nPolchinski held an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship from 1985 to 1989. He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997\, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002\, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005. He has been awarded the 2007 Dannie Heineman Prize in Mathematical Physics of the American Physical Society\, and the 2008 Dirac Medal of the International Center for Theoretical Physics\, Trieste and the 2013 and 2014 Physics Frontiers Prizes.

The meeting brought together some 240 New York researchers in fields ranging from computer science to marketing and business. \nThe meeting’s goal was to promote a deeper understanding of\, and to analyze the economics of\, Internet activity. The event included four lectures and seven short talks. \nTwenty posters created by attendees outlined research topics at the intersection of computer science and economics\, their Internet-related applications and other interdisciplinary topics — from game theory to algorithmic understanding of the theory of evolution. \n“We started NYCE six years ago with the purpose of making it a primary venue for interactions between computer scientists and economists from industrial and academic research communities in the New York area\,” says Vahab Mirrokni\, one of the meeting’s organizers. “NYCE 2013 went quite well. We got very positive feedback about all the talks after the conference.” \nThe success of the first six NYCE meetings has garnered attention from sponsors — notably Google and Microsoft — and the computer science community. “Given its success so far\, the plan is to continue these events every year\,” says Mirrokni. “In the next couple of years\, we hope to grow NYCE even further and attract more economists to the event.” \nNYCE 2012 and 2013 have been held at the Simons Foundation\, and the organizers\, along with the Mathematics and Physical Sciences division of the foundation\, hope to continue that tradition in the coming years.

The speaker’s slides can be downloaded here for your convenience. \nThe interaction of a flowing fluid with immersed bodies — which may be compliant or active — defines a class of moving boundary problems that are central to engineering and biology. What makes such problems especially difficult (and fascinating) is that the dynamics of body and fluid are intertwined and must be treated in an integrated way. I will discuss problems in fluid-structure interaction ranging from the macroscopic\, i.e. flapping of flags and bending of tree leaves\, to the micro – collective behaviors of micro-organisms and the transport of subcellular structures. These examples will make clear the fundamental role that size plays in modeling and understanding the dynamics. \nMichael Shelley is an applied mathematician who works on the modeling and simulation of complex systems arising in physics and biology. He holds a BA in Mathematics from the University of Colorado (1981) and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Arizona (1985). He was a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University\, and then joined the mathematics faculty at the University of Chicago (1988). In 1992 he joined the Courant Institute at NYU where he is the George and Lilian Lyttle Professor of Applied Mathematics. Among other honors\, he has received the Frenkiel Award from the American Physical Society\, the Cole Lectureship from the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics\, and is a Fellow of both societies. He is co-founder and co-Director of the Courant\nInstitute’s Applied Mathematics Laboratory. \nReading material here and here.\nLecture Slides here.

But the further back in time we look\, the more clues about our earliest ancestors are clouded by doubts\, uncertainties and controversies. \nSimilarly\, the search for life on Mars is challenging\, risky and controversial. Because it is improbable that any fossils are preserved on Mars\, researchers must study the chemistry of its rocks to gain insights into potential habitable environments there.

This gathering of Simons Investigators and Simons Fellows was an opportunity for foundation staff to become acquainted with the outstanding mathematicians\, theoretical physicists and theoretical computer scientists whom the foundation supports\, and for the awardees to get to know each other and their work\, stimulating the flow of ideas across disciplines\, and perhaps encouraging new interactions and collaborations. \nThe meeting featured nine lectures over two days\, all held in the Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium at the Simons Foundation in New York City\, and represented the full breadth of the science that MPS supports. “We heard wonderful lectures and it was extremely educational for me personally and\, I believe\, for many others\,” says MPS director Yuri Tschinkel. \nEqually important were the opportunities for casual discussion\, evolution of ideas and\, perhaps\, the beginnings of collaborations. \n“The feeling of intensity in the auditorium and during coffee breaks and lunches was very impressive\,” says associate director of physics Andy Millis. “We hope the meeting leads to the creation of a strong community in these fields — and it looks like that’s starting to happen.” \nAttending the meeting were 74 Investigators and Fellows from MPS’ three areas of focus — mathematics\, theoretical physics and theoretical computer science. MPS intends this meeting to be an annual event\, bringing the foundations ‘family’ of scientific leaders together for two days of discussion of the most exciting ideas at the research frontier. \n Download the 2013 Annual Meeting booklet (PDF).
