Summary
Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows. Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows: This fellowship project aims to build on Australia's leading position in the areas of nonlinear partial differential equations and geometric analysis to exploit new and highly innovative mathematical methods. It is expected that the methods will affect a range of related fields including stochastic modelling and finance, image processing, and the basic sciences. The project seeks to serve as a foc ....Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows. Geometric analysis of eigenvalues and heat flows: This fellowship project aims to build on Australia's leading position in the areas of nonlinear partial differential equations and geometric analysis to exploit new and highly innovative mathematical methods. It is expected that the methods will affect a range of related fields including stochastic modelling and finance, image processing, and the basic sciences. The project seeks to serve as a focal point for a developing community of Australian researchers in this field, providing a training ground for young researchers and students at the forefront of a vigorous and internationally active area of research, and bringing top international researchers to Australia to interact with the local research community.Read moreRead less

Summary
Statistical shape analysis using persistent homology. Statistical shape analysis is the quantitative study of variation in geometric shape. An innovative approach applies concepts from algebraic topology in the form of the persistent homology transform. This project aims to prove mathematical theory relating to the persistent homology transform, to develop new statistical theory and methodology, and to apply this theory to a range of applications including the analysis of bird beaks, human skull ....Statistical shape analysis using persistent homology. Statistical shape analysis is the quantitative study of variation in geometric shape. An innovative approach applies concepts from algebraic topology in the form of the persistent homology transform. This project aims to prove mathematical theory relating to the persistent homology transform, to develop new statistical theory and methodology, and to apply this theory to a range of applications including the analysis of bird beaks, human skulls and boundary contours of stem cells. An anticipated goal is the generation of new and significant theoretical results in topological data analysis. Expected outcomes include a topologically motivated platform for shape analysis that is statistically rigorous and has firm mathematical foundations.
