聂青教授受邀做天元名家讲堂

2024年11月6日，应国家天元数学东南中心与厦门大学数学科学学院邀请，美国加州大学尔湾分校聂青教授为我院师生做了题为《Systems Learning of Single Cells》的学术报告。厦门大学数学科学学院周达教授主持讲座，天元数学东南中心执行委员会主任、厦门大学数学科学学院院长谭绍滨教授为专家颁发东南中心名家讲堂纪念牌。

       本次讲座中，聂青教授介绍了他的团队围绕单细胞多组学数据开发的一系列计算方法，从系统的角度研究单细胞中的细胞命运抉择过程，展示了动态数学模型和机器学习相结合的方法在分析细胞动态特征及细胞通讯等过程中的作用。随后，聂青教授还指出了单细胞数据时空分析在方法开发上值得进一步探索的方向。

讲座结束后，聂青教授与参加讲座的师生们展开热烈讨论，并耐心地解答了师生们提出的问题。
