Terence Tao
University of California, Los Angeles, USA
Terence Tao was born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975. He has been a professor of mathematics at UCLA since 1999, having completed his PhD under Elias Stein at Princeton in 1996. Tao’s areas of research include harmonic analysis, PDE, combinatorics, and number theory. He has received a number of awards, including the Salem Prize in 2000, the Bochner Prize in 2002, the Fields Medal in 2006, the MacArthur Fellowship in 2007, the Waterman Award in 2008, the Nemmers Prize in 2010, the Crafoord prize in 2012, and the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics in 2015. Terence Tao also currently holds the James and Carol Collins chair in mathematics at UCLA, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Australian Academy of Sciences (Corresponding Member), the National Academy of Sciences (Foreign member), and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Friday November 11th, 2022 (01:30 PM – 02:30 PM)
Jane Heffernan
York University, Toronto, Canada
Dr Jane Heffernan is a Professor of Mathematics & Statistics at York University, Toronto, Canada, where she leads the Modelling Infection & Immunity Lab (Mi2). Dr Heffernan’s research program centers on understanding the spread and persistence of infectious diseases in hosts and in populations, with a focus on studies of immunity and behavior change. Her expertise includes mathematical models of disease (including COVID-19, HIV, HCV, HSV, TB, measles, pertussis, and influenza), changes in behavior (i.e., vaccine uptake, social distancing), and forecasting health care demand (e.g., ward and ICU hospital beds). Dr Heffernan is a co-Director of the Canadian Centre for Disease Modelling, a member of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists, an inaugural York Research Chair, and President-Elect for the international Society for Mathematical Biology. She leads national and international research groups in in-host and immunity modelling. During COVID-19, Dr Heffernan advised Health Canada, and the Canadian COVID Immunity Task Force on models of healthcare demand, infection, and vaccination. Recently, Dr Heffernan was named a Game Changer in Health Innovation and Health Research, for her work in Immunity Modelling.

David Klein
California State University, Northridge, USA
David Klein is a recently retired emeritus professor of mathematics at California State University Northridge where he helped to establish a NASA funded Climate Science Program. He earned a B.S. in physics and a B.A. in mathematics from UC Santa Barbara, and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, specializing in mathematical physics. He has held teaching and research positions at Louisiana State University, UCLA, USC, and was a Guest Scholar at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. His research interests have included statistical mechanics, dynamical systems, math education, general relativity, and most recently, climate science.

Tim Tangherlini
University of California, Berkeley, USA
Timothy R. Tangherlini is professor in the Scandinavian Department and director of the graduate program in folklore at the University of California, Berkeley. He explores informal storytelling at large scale in collaboration with colleagues from many different disciplines, including Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Information Studies. Recent work has focused on determining the narrative frameworks of Pizzagate and Bridgegate; understanding how parents reached consensus on vaccine exemption thereby undermining enormous gains in the public health arena; following the emergence of diverse competing conspiratorial narratives during the pandemic; and tracing how seditious groups used internet forums to develop plans to storm the capitol.
