The multi- scale nature of biological systems, in particular, suggests that many forms of medical pathology can be associated with corre- sponding phase transitions in mathematical models, and that a classification of these transitions could provide crucial infor- mation about the most natural temporal and spatial scales for studying the pathology. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, January 2013 – August 2016 Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Postdoctoral Associate (Mathematics Department) Advisor: Professor Alan Edelman Research Topic: The Combinatorial Foundations of Random Matrix Theory Summary: Many questions about β-Gaußian random matrices can be re- solved via combinatorial interpretations of their moments, in- volving such varied objects as matchings, polygonal glueings, and maps, depending on context. Remarkably, for some prob- lems, the most refined statistics on maps are more refined than the corresponding models for β-random matrices.

Good Ideas A Consortial Approach to Interlibrary Loan Ontario universities rebuild their interlibrary loan framework and service By Carol Stephenson and Anne Fullerton Interlibrary loan (ILL) services have traditionally borrowed materials or obtained photocopies from libraries or commercial document suppliers on behalf of their communities. Despite the growing number of full-text e-journal packages, increasing full-text content on the Web, and the ongoing expansion of print collections, many students and faculty in a university environment still need materials not available from their local university library. Unfortunately, the ILL services in place at many universities including those in Ontario, Canada, have not kept up with the increased demand for materials and the expectations of rapid delivery. Many have not taken advantage of systems with digital capabilities. Examining the ILL Process The Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) is a library consortium of 20 universities (see Table 1) that rely heavily on each other’s collections to meet the demand for materials not held locally.
