$120,000.00
Probability
FY 2023-24
Summary
Suppose that you are given the shape of an object, what can you calculate about the behaviour of heat diffusion of that object? Conversely, if you are given the behaviour of heat diffusion of an object, can you deduce some information about its shape? Which geometric features of the object are really essential to determine the behaviour of heat diffusion? How do small changes to the shape of an object affect the behaviour of heat diffusion? These fundamental questions and their variants will be explored in the proposed research program using ideas from probability theory and differential equations.
