The threshold for stacked triangulations
HybridAbstract: Consider a bootstrap percolation process that starts with a set of `infected’ triangles $Y \subseteq \binom{}3$, and a new triangle f gets infected if there is a copy of […]

Qianfang: a type-safe and data-driven healthcare system starting from Traditional Chinese Medicine
Abstract: Although everyone talks about AI + healthcare, many people were unaware of the fact that there are two possible outcomes of the collaboration, due to the inherent dissimilarity between the […]

Inflation and light Dark Matter constraints from the Swampland
VirtualAbstract: I will explore the interplay between Swampland conjectures and models of inflation and light Dark Matter. To that end, I will briefly review the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) and the related […]
Cosmology from the vacuum
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMbWPWeuJOQ&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=12 Abstract: We are familiar with the idea that quantum gravity in AdS can holographically emerge from complex patterns of entanglement, but can the physics of big bang cosmology emerge from a quantum […]
Oblique Lessons from the W Mass Measurement at CDF II
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnWI9sCfAi0&list=PL0NRmB0fnLJQAnYwkpt9PN2PBKx4rvdup&index=11&t=2s Abstract: The CDF collaboration recently reported a new precise measurement of the W boson mass MW with a central value significantly larger than the SM prediction. We explore the effects […]
Geometric Models for Sets of Probability Measures
Abstract: Many statistical and computational tasks boil down to comparing probability measures expressed as density functions, clouds of data points, or generative models. In this setting, we often are unable to […]

Hypergraph Matchings Avoiding Forbidden Submatchings
Abstract: In 1973, Erdős conjectured the existence of high girth (n,3,2)-Steiner systems. Recently, Glock, Kühn, Lo, and Osthus and independently Bohman and Warnke proved the approximate version of Erdős’ conjecture. Just […]
