Speaker: Dr. Micheal SpenceDr. Michael Spence took up his post as President & Provost of UCL on 11 January 2021. Prior to this he was Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sydney (2008-2020), which under his leadership rose to first in Australia and fourth in the world for graduate employability. He was also responsible for the largest philanthropic campaign in Australian history, raising a record one billion Australian dollars. Dr. Spence is recognised internationally as a leader in the field of intellectual property theory and holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Law from the University of Oxford, where he headed Oxford’s Law faculty and Social Sciences division. He has university qualifications in English, Italian, Law, Theology and Korean, and learned Chinese while in Oxford. In 2017, he was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours for service to leadership of the tertiary education sector, to the advancement of equitable access to educational opportunities, to developing programs focused on multidisciplinary research, and to the Anglican Church of Australia. Dr. Spence is an ordained Minister in the Anglican Church.Venue: Qiushi Lecture Hall, Zijingang Campus Abstract: Last year, researchers in the UK and China co-published over 19,000 research papers. Behind that extraordinary number is an extraordinary story, one of finding common purpose across cultures and domains. If the exchange of knowledge, thought and practice across divides has become an integral part of the academic life of the modern university, then how do universities equip our students with these ‘interface’ competencies?

Speaker: Lyu Chen (Peking University HSBC Business School)Venue: Room 718, School of Economics Zhejiang University, Zijingang CampusAbstract: A recommendation platform sequentially collects information on a new product revealed from past consumer trials and uses it to better guide later consumers. Because consumers do not internalize the value of information they bring to others, their incentive for trying out the product can be socially insufficient. Given such a challenge, study howthe platform can maximize the total surplus generated on it by designing its recommendation policy. In a model with binary product quality and general trial-generated signals. I show that the optimal design features a sequence of time-specific thresholds, which vary in a U-shaped pattern over the product's life. At any time, the platform should recommend the product if based on its current belief the probability of the product's quality being high is above the current threshold. This characterization allows me to provide predictions about the recommendation dynamic and study comparative statics regarding the optima recommendation standards. My analysis also illustrates the potential usefulness of a Lagrangian duality approach for dynamic information design.

Speaker: YE Deping (Memorial University of Newfoundland)Venue: 303, Building 2, Haina Court, Zijingang CampusAbstract: To find unknown convex body $K$ such that $\mu=\mathcal{M}(K,\cdot)$, where $\mu$ is a pregiven Borel measure on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ and $\mathcal{M}(K,cdot)$ is a Borel measure on $S^{n-1}$ depending on $K$ is an important problem in convex geometry. Such a problem is called the Minkowski type problem and has found many applications in other areassuch aspartial differential equations computer science, etc.Similar questions can be asked for unbounded convex sets which are closely related to log-concave functions and convex hypersurfaces.These unbounded convex sets play important roles in analysis, probability, algebraic, geometry, singularity theory etc. In this talk, I will talk about some recent progress on these problems with concentration on a special case: the dual Minkowski problem for unbounded closed convex sets. I will discuss how to set upthis problem and explain ourexistence of solutions to this problem.Professor Deping Ye received his bachelor's degree from Shandong University in 2000 and studied as a master's degree in Zhejiang University from 2000 to 2003.

Speaker: Dr.Hong HaoVenue: ZOOM (Scan the QR Code to register)Abstract: The design philosophy and methodology of civil engineering structures have been constantly evolving, from the early strength-based to more recent performance-based design and the current intensively researched emerging resilience-based design. Because failure of civil engineering structures often leads to catastrophic consequences, the primary focus of all these design methods is the safety of structures while considering other aspects such as performance and resilience. With the economic growth, population increase and urbanization, as well as global warming and the depletion of natural resources, to meet the societal need for sustainable development, the construction of civil engineering structures also needs to consider sustainability, durability and smart lifecycle management besides safety, performance and resilience. This talk discusses the necessity, challenge and opportunity for the development of the next generation design of sustainable, durable, multi-hazard resistant, resilient and smart civil engineering structures, i.e., ‘SDuMuRS’. Critical reviews and discussions on each of these aspects are presented. Research directions are suggested accordingly for achieving these goals for the design of next generation civil engineering structures.
Hong Hao is a professor in Earthquake Engineering Research and Test Center in Guangzhou University, China and a John Curtin Distinguished professor in Curtin University, Australia and an Australian Laureate Fellow. His research interests are structural dynamics and its applications to structure protections against earthquake, blast and impact loads, as well as structural condition monitoring.
