"Random walks, diffusion limited aggregation in
restricted geometries & averaged conformal maps."
Tuesday, March 28th. 4pm
335 West Hall
Dr. Suzhou Huang, Ford Research and Advanced Engineering
"What Does Quantum Field Theory Have in Common with Quantitative
Marketing of Automobiles"
Thursday, March 30th. Noon
340 West Hall
Abstract: The speaker will use his personal experience of transitioning
from a theoretical physicist to a marketing scientist to answer the
question posed in the title. Similarities and differences in these
seemingly very distinct professions will be contrasted from perspectives
ranging from the general ability to translate a specific problem into
mathematical equations to the techniques adopted to
derive appropriate solutions. In addition, the audience will get a
glimpse of what are involved in quantitative marketing in the auto
industry: financial risk management, revenue management, used-car
auction, etc.
