Introduction to Recent Research Projects

Some recent and ongoing research projects

Professor Bialek is interested in a broad set of problems that arise at the interface of physics and biology. His work is animated by the search for principles that might underlie the remarkable functional capabilities of living systems. A theorist, Bialek’s work ranges from abstract theoretical problems to the nitty gritty of experimental design and analysis; he has touched questions which ari...

Research Interests Research Projects

2005–present HiStar: a secure operating system [2]. Led the HiStar project on designing and developing a new operating system that allows applications to minimize the amount of trusted code. HiStar allows applications to specify precise data security policies by specifying how different information can flow through the system. As a result, small amounts of trusted code can reason about the secu...

Research Projects

Here is a collection of research projects, ranging from number theory to probability to statistics to random graphs.... Much of the background material is summarized from [MT-B], though most standard number theory textbooks would have these facts. Each chapter begins with a brief synopsis of the types of problems and background material needed. For more information, see the handouts on-line at ...

1 Billiards and related systems 1.1 Polygonal outer billiards in the hyperbolic plane The outer billiard about a convex polygon P in the plane R 2 is a piece-wise isometry, T , of the exterior of P defined as follows: given a point x outside of P , find the support line to P through x having P on the left, and define T (x) to be the reflection of x in the support vertex. See [10, 35]. Figure 1:...
