SUMMARY:Geometric Thinking in Engineering and Applied Sciences - Cyrus Mos
 tajeran\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20200521T130000Z

CONTACT:Alberto Padoan
DESCRIPTION:Geometry occupies a uniquely illustrious place in the history 
 of science. Many critical and celebrated advances in physics and various f
 ields of mathematics have been achieved by viewing problems through a geom
 etric lens. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the applicat
 ion of differential geometry to problems arising in engineering. In partic
 ular\, the exploitation of symmetries and geometric invariance has led to 
 great advances in fields such as optimisation\, signal processing\, statis
 tical learning\, medical imaging\, and material science. In this talk\, I 
 will review several topics in the engineering and applied sciences from my
  own research that have been shaped by geometric thinking. Examples includ
 e consensus theory and monotonicity\, statistics and optimisation in nonli
 near spaces\, as well as topographic mechanics and material design.\n\nThe
