Ngoc Tran
Ngoc Tran uses tools from tropical geometry, combinatorics and probability to create novel applications for mathematics in economics, neuroscience and other sciences. Her problems range from very abstract (define tropical Gaussians) to very practical (read off spikes from neural recordings), to somewhere in between (design auctions where "everybody goes home happy").
Ngoc visited MPI MiS for the workshop A Tropical Panorama and gave a talk on "Tropical Gaussians".
