About this Event
The 2022 McKnight Zame Lecture presents Alan Hastings, Ph.D., Mathematical Ecologist and Distinguished Professor Emeritus at University of California, Davis. An appealing aspect of statistical physics models is the concept of universality, where classes of models have similar behavior. Spurred in part by an intriguing data set on individual yield of over 4000 trees in a pistachio
orchard over 6 years where trees tend to mast and alternate high and low years, Dr. Hastings has been applying ideas from statistical physics toward investigating spatial synchrony in cycling ecological systems. He will cover the specific system he has been looking at, present the necessary background about the statistical physics ideas, and discuss ongoing work and questions
his team is considering now. This is joint work with Jon Machta, Andrew Noble, Karen Abbott, Shadi Esmaeili and Vahini Reddy Nareddy. Registration Required math.miami.edu/mz
