Networks: From image processing and non-invasive diagnostics to optogenetics and bacteriophages
ABOUT THE TALK
Networks are ubiquitous across natural and engineered systems. We will discuss new measures and methods for networks proposed by us. We show how combining experimental and theoretical approaches can deliver new insights into diverse systems. Specifically, we will discuss examples from image processing, non-invasive diagnostics, optogenetics, and phage resistance in bacteria, among others. Lastly, we will briefly discuss quantum networks. The presentation is specially aimed at undergraduate students.
