SUMMARY:MICDE/EEB Seminar: Murat Eren\, Department of Medicine\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Bio:  Dr. Murat Eren is an Assistant Professor in the department of Medicine and affiliated with the Marine Biological Laboratory at the University of Chicago. He received his B.S. from Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University in Turkey in 2002\, and his PhD from the University of New Orleans in 2001\, both in computer science. His research focuses on the diversity and functioning of microbial communities in environments ranging from the human gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity\, to sewages\, oceans\, and soils. He designs algorithms and experiments to better understand microbes and their ecology. He pursues interesting ecological and evolutionary questions\, with some particularly interesting insights from molecular data into what constitutes a population in the microbial world. \nInsights into ecology and evolution of microbial populations through single-amino acid variants\nNeither the mechanisms by which genomic heterogeneity emerges within naturally occurring microbial populations\, nor how it drives the partitioning of ecological niches are well understood. Yet the increasing number of environmental metagenomes with astonishing depth of sequencing offer new opportunities to investigate evolutionary processes acting upon them\, and link genomic variation to predicted tertiary structures of genes to gain biochemical insights. \nMICDE is co-sponsoring this seminar with the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. If you would like to meet Dr. Murat during his visit please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Vladimir Druskin\, Scientific Advisor\, Schlumberger Doll Research
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Vladimir Druskin is an applied mathematician with expertise in several areas including numerical algorithms\, large scale numerical simulations\, computational linear algebra\, inverse problems\, model reduction\, computational geophysics\, subsurface and medical imaging\, electrical engineering and financial mathematics. Dr. Druskin got his Ph.D. from Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) focused on applied mathematics. He is currently a scientific advisor at Schlumberger Doll Research working in energy research and development with demonstrated successful history of leading large collaborative industrial-academic projects in mathematical modeling and data-processing. \nReduced order models\, networks\, and applications to modeling and imaging with waves\nGeophysical seismic exploration\, as well as radar and sonar imaging require the solution of large-scale forward and inverse problems for hyperbolic systems of equations.  In this talk\, I will show how model order reduction can be used to address some intrinsic difficulties of these problems.  In model order reduction\, one approximates the response (transfer function) of a large-scale dynamical system using a smaller system\, called the reduced order model (ROM).  We consider ROMs that capture properties of the large problem that are essential for imaging and that can be realized via sparse graph-Laplacian networks.  The ROMs are data-driven\, i.e.\, they learn the underlying PDE problem from the transfer function.  One of the better-known applications of our ROMs is the efficient discretization of PDE problems in unbounded domains.  Here I will focus on two recent applications: (i) Multiscale modeling of elastic wave propagation via network approximations\, with low communication and computational cost; (ii) A direct\, nonlinear acoustic imaging algorithm in strongly heterogeneous media\, where the ROM is used to manipulate the data in such a way that multiply scattered waves are separated from the single scattered ones. \nDr. Druskin is being hosted by Prof. Borcea (Mathematics) and Prof. Schotland (Mathematics & Physics). If you would like to meet him\, please send an email to micde-contact@umich.edu

SUMMARY:AIM Seminar: Christoph Börgers\, Mathematics\, Tufts University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Christoph Börgers is a Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University. He got his Ph.D. under Prof. Charles Peskin at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences\, in 1985. Prof. Börgers was a professor in the University of Michigan department of Mathematics until 1996 when he moved to Tufts. His expertise is in mathematical neuroscience\, applied dynamical systems\, numerical analysis\, scientific computing\, and during the past decade\, most of his work has been in the area of Computational Neuroscience. \nRhythms in neuronal networks with recurrent excitation\nInteracting excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations often generate oscillations in electrical fields in the brain. I will briefly review this mechanism and the reasons to believe that it is important in brain function. Most of the talk will be focused on the effects of recurrent excitation\, i.e.\, of the neurons of a local network in the brain exciting each other. Recurrent excitation can sustain activity in a network that would otherwise be quiescent; this is believed to be the basis of working memory. It can also lead to a runaway process\, with excitation generating more excitation etc.\, much as the presence of a quadratic term on the right-hand side of a differential equation can lead to blow-up in finite time; this may be related to epileptic seizures. For model problems\, we prove that abrupt transitions to runaway activity require recurrent excitation with fast kinetics\, while working memory activity is more robust with recurrent excitation with slow kinetics. \nProf. Börgers is being hosted by Prof. Robert Krasny (Mathematics).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Amanda Randles\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Amanda Randles is an assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. She has courtesy appointments in the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Material Science\, Computer Science and Mathematics\, and is a member of the Duke Cancer Institute. She got her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2013\, and has been the recipient of the Lawrence Fellowship (Lawrence Livermore National Lab.)\, the Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship (Google)\, and the George Michael Memorial High Performance Computing Fellowship (ACM/IEEE) among many accomplishments in her early career. Her research in biomedical simulation and high performance computing focuses on the development of new computational tools that she uses to provide insight into the localization and development of human diseases ranging from atherosclerosis to cancer. \nMassively Parallel Simulations of Hemodynamics in the Human Vasculature\nThe recognition of the role hemodynamic forces have in the localization and development of disease has motivated large-scale efforts to enable patient-specific simulations. When combined with computational approaches that can extend the models to include physiologically accurate hematocrit levels in large regions of the circulatory system\, these image-based models yield insight into the underlying mechanisms driving disease progression and inform surgical planning or the design of next generation drug delivery systems. Building a detailed\, realistic model of human blood flow\, however\, is a formidable mathematical and computational challenge. The models must incorporate the motion of fluid\, intricate geometry of the blood vessels\, continual pulse-driven changes in flow and pressure\, and the behavior of suspended bodies such as red blood cells. In this talk\, I will discuss the development of HARVEY\, a parallel fluid dynamics application designed to model hemodynamics in patient-specific geometries. I will cover the methods introduced to reduce the overall time-to-solution and enable near-linear strong scaling on up to 1\,572\,864 core of the IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer. Finally\, I will present the expansion of the scope of projects to address not only vascular diseases\, but also treatment planning and the movement of circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream. \nProf. Randles is being hosted by Dr. Carrasco-Teja (MICDE).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Michael Falk\, Department of Materials Science and Engineering\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Michael Falk is a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University where he also serves as the Vice Dean for Undergraduate Education. He holds a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins. He completed his Ph.D. in physics at the University of California\, Santa Barbara and then launched his academic career as a computational materials scientist at the University of Michigan in 2000. In 2008 he returned to Johns Hopkins as an associate professor of Materials Science and Engineering with joint appointments in Mechanical Engineering and Physics. Prof. Falk’s research focuses on utilizing computer simulation on the atomic scale to understand the processes by which materials are pushed out of equilibrium by processes such as bending\, breaking\, charging and undergoing frictional sliding. His research has had an abiding focus on the ways glass structures accommodate plastic flow\, deformation and fracture. These investigations have involved developing new methodologies for deploying molecular dynamics simulations and the development of thermodynamically motivated constitutive theories. Prof. Falk also engages in educational research and is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion\, engaging in outreach to Baltimore City elementary schools and advocating for a welcoming climate for LGBTQ people within the engineering and physics professions. \nConnecting atomistic simulations\, defect-based theories and continuum plasticity in amorphous solids\nGlasses\, and the more general category of materials known as amorphous solids\, lack crystal structure and find wide application from consumer goods to photovoltaics. Yet\, issues quantifying disorder have stymied the construction of physically grounded mechanical constitutive laws for these materials suitable for failure prediction. Atomistic simulation methods can provide some insight regarding the mechanisms of plastic deformation and strain localization. Recent investigations have aimed at quantifying the defects that control plastic flow by quantifying a yield stress field at the nanometer scale. Analysis of these fields have confirmed some of the assumptions built into the shear transformation zone theory of amorphous plasticity\, most notably the orientational nature of the defect and their pre-existence in the structure. I will further discuss methods for quantitatively predicting strain localization\, a limiting failure process in high-strength metallic glasses and other amorphous materials by parameterizing the effective-temperature shear transformation zone theory from molecular dynamics simulations. We have directly cross-compared molecular dynamics simulations and continuum representations of these same materials in order to test and validate our constitutive theories. The role of coarse graining in the linkage of continuum and atomistic methods is crucial\, and convergence only arises above a critical length scale on the order of tens of angstroms. The investigation makes clear the need to separate out the relevant fluctuations in material structure from the shorter wavelength fluctuations that serve to obscure them. It is\, in the end\, the interactions between these larger-scale relevant fluctuations via the material’s mechanical response that controls the failure process during strain localization. \nProf. Falk is being hosted by Prof. Yue Fan (Mechanical Engineering).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Heather Mayes\, Chemical Engineering\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Heather Mayes is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering. Her research group uses multi-scale modeling to discover protein-sugar interactions and to harness them for renewable energy and improved health. The study of carbohydrate-protein interactions is an important step to create renewable fuels and chemicals from non-food biomass\, and the results can be applied to several human diseases\, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. Prof. Mayes uses computational tools in her research\, including quantum mechanics\, molecular dynamics\, and rare-event sampling methods. She collaborates with experimental groups to understand past and guide future wet-lab studies to advance renewable chemicals and fuels\, as well as disease understanding. \nSimulating Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions to Bridge the Gap Between Human Chemical Intuition and Molecular Biophysics\nIn complex reacting systems\, it can be exceedingly difficult\, or even impossible\, to tease out elementary reaction mechanisms from wet-lab data alone\, due to data convolution resulting from the multiple reacting steps and competing reactions that simultaneously occur. The systems that the Mayes group studies (multiple types of protein-carbohydrate interactions) certainly fall into this category\, with understanding further hindered by the conformational\, stereochemical\, and regiochemical degrees of freedom key to chemical reactions in these systems. Yet\, understanding these elementary mechanisms would not only help answer fundamental questions in biology\, but also improve our ability to harness these systems for applications from renewable energy to pharmaceutical interventions. I will discuss several systems that we are studying\, and focus on our investigations of how enzymes break down plant biomass. I will share how our computational research rationalizes non-intuitive wet-lab observations by revealing mechanisms that do not conform to human intuition. In doing so\, we gather lessons from how nature has evolved efficient enzymes that we can then apply to rational enzyme design.

Since starting at Michigan\, she has received a DOE Early Career Award in 2013 and an NSF Career Award in 2015. \nHer main interests are at the interface of theoretical chemistry and condensed matter physics with a major focus on designing new\, systematically improvable and controlled computational methods that can be used to study strongly correlated molecules and materials. She has worked on a variety of topics\, such as a molecular version of density matrix renormalization group\, solvers for dynamical mean field theory using explicit bath formulation\, conserving Green’s function methods for weakly correlated systems and the development of the self-energy embedding theory. \nTowards Accurate Quantum-Mechanical Calculations beyond Density Functional Theory on Large Systems\nWe present a detailed discussion of self-energy embedding theory (SEET) which is a quantum embedding scheme allowing us to describe a chosen subsystem very accurately while keeping the description of the environment at a lower cost. We apply SEET to molecular examples where commonly our chosen subsystem is made out of a set of strongly correlated orbitals while the weakly correlated orbitals constitute an environment. Such a self-energy separation is very general and to make this procedure applicable to multiple systems a detailed and practical procedure for the evaluation of the system and environment self-energy is necessary. We list all the intricacies for one of the possible procedures while focusing our discussion on many practical implementation aspects such as the choice of best orbital basis\, impurity solver\, and many steps necessary to reach chemical accuracy. \nFinally\, on a set of carefully chosen molecular examples\, we demonstrate that SEET\, which is a controlled\, systematically improvable Green’s function method can be as accurate as established wavefunction quantum chemistry methods.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Jesse Capecelatro\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Professor Capecelatro is interested in developing large-scale simulation capabilities for prediction and design of the complex multi-physics and multiphase flows relevant to energy and the environment. To achieve this\, his group develops robust and scalable numerical methods to leverage world-class supercomputing resources. His current research projects are focused on adjoint-based methods applied to turbulent combustion\, modeling strongly-coupled particle-laden flows\, and understanding interactions between electrostatics and turbulence in atmospheric clouds. \nPrior to joining the mechanical engineering department at the University of Michigan in 2016\, Dr. Capecelatro was a research scientist at the Center for Exascale Simulation of Plasma-coupled Combustion (XPACC) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from SUNY Binghamton in 2009\, and two years later completed a M.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder\, where he performed research in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on numerical modeling of fluidized bed reactors. In 2014 he received a Ph.D. from Cornell University under the guidance of Prof Olivier Desjardins\, where his thesis focused on high performance computing of turbulent multiphase flows. He spent the summer following his Ph.D. as a visiting postdoc at the Institut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse and École Centrale Paris focusing on fundamental and numerical studies of particle-induced turbulence. \nTowards Accurate and Tractable Methods of Disperse Multiphase Flows in Extreme Environments\nThe complex and multiscale behavior associated with turbulent flows is further complicated by the presence of a disperse phase (i.e.\, solid particles\, liquid drops\, or gaseous bubbles). Strong coupling between the disperse phase and underlying turbulence plays important roles across engineering and science. For example\, liquid sprays are often used during rocket launches to suppress undesirable aeroacoustic loading on the fuselage and nearby equipment. Recent experiments have shown that water sound suppression systems might also be a viable option for jet noise reduction during take-off and landing of high-performance aircrafts. Within the energy sector\, turbulent suspensions of catalytic particles are used in a variety of energy conversion technologies\, yet the multiphase dynamics occurring in these reactors remain largely unknown. A key challenge in understanding and predicting turbulent multiphase flows is the fundamental importance of processes occurring on extremely small scales that ultimately influence the macroscopic behavior. This presentation will provide an overview of recent advancements in numerical modeling of particle-laden flows with several applications of ongoing research projects.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Theresa Windus\, Chemistry\, Iowa State University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Theresa Windus is a professor of Chemistry at Iowa State University. She earned her Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 1993 and did post-doctoral research at Northwestern University. Theresa was also the Director of Computational Chemistry/Training at Ohio Supercomputer Center and the Computational Chemistry lead at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Major Shared Resource Center. Most recently\, she was the manager of the Molecular Science Software Group and the Visualization and User Services group in the Molecular Science Computing Facility in the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \nThe challenges of the exascale from the view of a molecular chemist\nThis talk will focus on the challenges that computational chemistry faces in taking the equations that model the very small (molecules and the reactions they undergo) to efficient and scalable implementations on the very large computers of today andtomorrow. In particular\, how do we take advantage of the newest architectures while preparing for the next generation of computers? How do we increase programmer productivity while ensuring excellent performance\, efficiency and portability across multiple platforms? How do we take advantage of the work of mathematicians\, computer scientists and other computational scientists to enable our science\, while ensuring maintainability and usability of the software? How do we ensure that the algorithms that we develop are making wise use of the computational resources? How do help the next generation of computational chemists to be ready for the complex computing environments that they will face? While not claiming to have answers to all (or any!) of these questions\, we will explore some possible solutions and their implications as we go forward and face the current petascale and the future exascale challenges. These will be in the context of several Department of Energy funded computational chemistry Exascale Computing Projects (NWChemEx and GAMESS) and the NSF funded Molecular Sciences Software Institute. \nProf. Windus is being hosted by Prof. Geva (Chemistry).

Many of these plans have highlighted the development of additive manufacturing techniques\, such as 3D printing\, which are still in their infancy. The objective is to develop superior products\, produced at lower overall operational costs. For these   goals to be realized\, a deep understanding of the essential ingredients comprising the materials involved in additive manufacturing is needed. The combination of rigorous material modeling theories\, coupled with the dramatic increase of computational power can potentially play a significant role in the analysis\, control\, and design of many emerging additive manufacturing processes. Specialized materials and the precise   design of their properties are key factors in the processes. Specifically\, particle-functionalized materials play a central role in this field\, in three main ways:   (1) to endow filament-based materials by adding particles to a heated binder   (2) to “functionalize” inks by adding particles to freely flowing solvents and (3) to directly deposit particles\, as dry powders\, onto surfaces and then to heat them with a laser\, e-beam or other external source\, in order to fuse them into place. The goal of these processes is primarily to build surface structures\, coatings\, etc.\, which are extremely difficult to construct using classical manufacturing methods. The objective of this presentation is to introduce the audience to basic techniques which can allow them to rapidly develop and analyze particulate-based materials needed in new additive manufacturing processes. This presentation is broken into two main parts: continuum and discrete element approaches. The materials associated with methods (1) and (2) are closely related types of continua (particles embedded in a continuous binder) and are treated using continuum approaches. The materials in method (3)\, which are of a discrete particulate character\, are analyzed using discrete element methods. \nProf. Zohdi is being hosted by Prof. Garikipati (Mechanical Engineering).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Edward Maginn\, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, University of Notre Dame
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Edward Maginn received his BS in chemical engineering from Iowa State University and his PhD in chemical engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley. Prior to attending graduate school\, he worked as a process engineer for Procter and Gamble. He has been on the Notre Dame faculty since 1995 and currently holds the Dorini Family Chair of Energy Studies in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He is also the chair of the department\, and was formerly the Associate Dean for Academic Programs in the Graduate School. He has won a number of awards\, including the Early Career Award from the Computational Molecular Science and Engineering Forum of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers\, the ASEE Dow Outstanding New Faculty Award\, the BP College of Engineering Outstanding Teacher Award and the NSF Career award. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is a trustee of the CACHE Corporation. His research focuses on the development and use of atomistic molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation methods to study the thermodynamic and transport properties of materials\, with special emphasis on ionic systems important in energy storage and use. \nUsing Molecular Modeling to Design New Fluids for Energy Storage and Carbon Capture\nLiquids that contain charged species\, such as electrolytes and ionic liquids\, have many important technological applications in fields such as energy storage\, separations\, and catalysis. By changing the structure of the molecules or employing mixtures\, the properties of these fluids can be altered significantly. The key questions are: How should I change the structure of the molecule or ion to get the properties I want? What type of additives should I use to improve performance? To answer these and related questions\, we use atomistic-level simulations to compute structural\, thermodynamic and transport properties of these systems. We are able to provide molecular-level explanations for experimental observations\, and we can predict properties of systems that may not yet have even been made in the laboratory. \nIn the first part of this talk\, I will describe molecular modeling research directed at improving the performance of electrolytes used in next generation “beyond lithium” batteries. Electrolytes are a critical component of batteries\, since they transport ions from the cathode to the anode during charging\, then in the reverse direction in releasing energy on discharge. Electrolytes play a leading role in a battery’s capacity for energy storage\, its lifetime and the safety of the battery. The electrolyte in a conventional lithium-ion battery consists of a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent. The electrolytes for next generation “beyond lithium” batteries will require new salt-solvent combinations.  Our simulations probe the way in which different electrolyte formulations\, charge carriers and additives impact the structure and dynamics of these liquids. \nIn the second half of the talk\, I will show how these same kinds of simulations can be used to develop new ionic liquids that can be used for CO2 separations / capture. Ionic liquids are pure salts that are liquid at ambient temperatures. Because they have essentially no vapor pressure and readily dissolve CO2\, people have been interested in using them for carbon capture. I will describe how our simulations have been successful in identifying new ionic liquids with properties tuned for use as conventional liquid absorbents or as supported ionic liquid membranes. \nThis is a joint seminar with the department of Chemical Engineering. Prof. Maginn is being hosted by Prof. Mayes (Chemical Engineering). If you are interested in meeting him during his visit please send an email to mcteja@umich.edu

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Chris Rycroft\, Department of Applied Mathematics\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Chris Rycroft is an Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. From 2010–2013\, he was a Morrey Assistant Professor in the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department\, and he was involved in the Bay Area Physical Sciences-Oncology where he collaborated with several experimental groups at Berkeley and UC San Francisco\, on using computational modeling to understand the role of mechanical forces between cells and their environment. Prof. Rycroft’s research focuses on mathematical modeling and scientific computation\, particularly for interdisciplinary applications in science and engineering. He works on a variety of problems\, and has collaborated in a number of fields including physics\, biology\, materials science\, and mechanical engineering. His current interests include questions that relate to the mechanics of materials\, numerical algorithms\, and geometry. Several of his recent projects relate to energy production and efficiency\, such as modeling bulk metallic glasses\, and developing high-throughput screening techniques to find advanced materials for carbon capture applications. He has also released several software libraries\, including Voro++ for three-dimensional computations of the Voronoi tessellation. \nThe reference map technique for simulating complex materials and multi-body interactions\nConventional computational methods often create a dilemma for fluid-structure interaction problems. Typically\, solids are simulated using a Lagrangian approach with grid that moves with the material\, whereas fluids are simulated using an Eulerian approach with a fixed spatial grid\, requiring some type of interfacial coupling between the two different perspectives. Here\, a fully Eulerian method for simulating structures immersed in a fluid will be presented. By introducing a reference map variable to model finite-deformation constitutive relations in the structures on the same grid as the fluid\, the interfacial coupling problem is highly simplified. The method is particularly well suited for simulating soft\, highly-deformable materials and many-body contact problems\, and several examples from engineering and biology will be presented. This is joint work with Ken Kamrin (MIT). \nThis is a joint seminar with the Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics seminar series. \nProf. Rycroft is being hosted by Prof. Alben (Mathematics). If you would like to meet him please email Prof. Alben at alben@umich.edu or Dr. Mariana Carrasco-Teja at mcteja@umich.edu

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Thomas Devereaux\, Photon Science\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Professor Devereaux received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Oregon in 1991\, M.S. from University of Oregon in 1988\, and B.S from New York University in 1986. Professor Devereaux is currently the Director of the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES)\, the Associate Lab Director (ALD) for Photon Science\, a professor in the Photon Science Faculty at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and a Senior Fellow of the Precourt Institute for Energy. SIMES is a joint institute between Stanford main campus and SLAC\, a national laboratory\, focusing on scientific foundations related to the energy challenge facing our society. Professor Devereaux was a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institut\, Stuttgart\, (1991-1993)\, a Post-doctoral Fellow at the University of California\, Davis\, CA\, (1993-1996)\, an Assistant Professor at The George Washington University\, Washington\, DC\, (1996-1999)\, and an Associate Professor (1999-2006) and Professor (2006-2007) at the University of Waterloo\, Waterloo\, ON\, Canada.\nHis main research interests lie in the areas of theoretical condensed matter physics and computational physics. His research effort focuses on using the tools of computational physics to understand quantum materials. Fortunately\, we are poised in an excellent position as the speed and cost of computers have allowed us to tackle heretofore unaddressed problems involving interacting systems. The goal of his research is to understand electron dynamics via a combination of analytical theory and numerical simulations to provide insight into materials of relevance to energy science. His group carries out numerical simulations on SIMES’ high-performance supercomputer\, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)\, and other US and Canadian computational facilities. The specific focus of the group is the development of numerical methods and theories of photon-based spectroscopies of strongly correlated materials.\nProfessor Devereaux’s awards include: U. S. Department of Education Fellowship (1989-1991); Junior Scholar Incentive Award\, George Washington University (1998); Research Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2002-2006); Premier’s Research Excellence Award\, Province of Ontario (2003); Scientist Research Fellowship\, Embassy of France (2005); and Fellow of the American Physics Society (2008). \nLight controlled topological phase transitions in multi-orbital and frustrated magnetic systems\nSpurred by recent progress in melting\, enhancement and induction of electronic order out of equilibrium\, a tantalizing prospect concerns instead accessing transient Floquet steady states via broad pump pulses\, to affect electronic properties. Here\, we consider a two-pronged approach to manipulate the topology of a band insulator\, as well as topological order in a Mott insulator. We first consider monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) [1]\, and show that their low-energy description as massive 2D relativistic fermions fails to hold for optical pumping. Instead\, the added complexity of a realistic materials description leads to a novel mechanism to optically induce topologically-protected chiral edge modes\, facilitating optically-switchable conduction channels that are insensitive to disorder. We develop a strategy to understand non-equilibrium Floquet-Bloch bands and topological transitions directly from ab initio calculations\, and illustrate for the example of WS2 that control of chiral edge modes can be dictated solely from symmetry principles and is not qualitatively sensitive to microscopic materials details. Second\, we extend these ideas to strongly correlated systems and show that pumping frustrated Mott insulators with circularly-polarized light can drive the effective spin system across a phase transition to a chiral spin liquid (CSL) [2]. We show that the transient time evolution of a Kagome lattice Hubbard model is well captured by an effective spin description\, where circular polarization promotes a staggered scalar spin chirality Si . (Sj x Sk) directly to the Hamiltonian level. We fingerprint the ensuing phase diagram and find a stable photo-induced CSL in proximity to the equilibrium ground state. The results presented suggest new avenues to marry dynamical symmetry breaking\, strong interactions\, and ab initio materials modelling\, to access elusive phase transitions that are not readily accessible in equilibrium. \nReferences:\n[1] M.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Irina Tezaur\, Extreme Scales Data Science and Analytics Department\, Sandia National Laboratories
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Dr. Irina Tezaur (f.k.a. Dr. Irina Kalashnikova) is a Principal Member of Technical Staff (PMTS) in the Extreme Scales Data Science & Analytics Department (Org. 8759) at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore\, CA. Prior to joining this group\, from October 2011 to September 2014\, she was SMTS in the Computational Mathematics Department (Org. 1442) at Sandia in Albuquerque\, NM. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering (CME) from Stanford University in 2011. Her advisor at Stanford was Professor Charbel Farhat and I was a member of the Farhat Research Group (FRG). Her Bachelors and Masters degrees are in pure mathematics\, awarded by the University of Pennsylvania in 2006. Dr. Tezaur’s research interests are numerical solution to PDEs\, mixed/hybrid finite element methods\, stability and convergence properties of numerical methods\, Reduced Order Modeling (ROM) and simulation-based analysis of fluid-structure interaction that she currently applies to climate modeling. \nNext-generation modeling & simulation of large-scale ice sheets towards probabilistic sea-level change projections\nRecent observations show that both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at increasingly rapid rates [1]. In its fourth assessment report (AR4)\, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declined to include estimates of future sea-level change from dynamics of the polar ice sheets due to the inability of ice sheet models to mimic or explain observed dynamic behaviors\, such as the acceleration and thinning then occurring on several of Greenland’s large outlet glaciers [2]. In recent years\, there has been a push to develop “next generation” land-ice models and codes for integration into global Earth System Models (ESMs). Unlike their predecessors\, these codes: (1) are able to perform realistic\, high-resolution\, continental scale simulations\, (2) are robust\, efficient and scalable on next-generation hybrid systems (multi-core\, many-core\, GPU\, Intel Xeon Phi)\, and (3) possess built-in advanced analysis capabilities (e.g.\, sensitivity analysis\, optimization\, uncertainty quantification). This talk will give an overview of the Albany/FELIX (Finite Elements for Land Ice eXperiments) [3] next-generation land-ice dynamical core (dycore) that is under development at Sandia National Laboratories as a part of a Department of Energy (DOE) SciDAC-funded project aimed at providing probabilistic sea-level projections from extreme-scale ice sheet and earth system models. This dycore is currently being integrated in to the DOE’s Acelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME)\, which will be used to calculate anticipated 21st sea-level change projections\, including uncertainty bounds. It is widely accepted that land-ice behaves like a very viscous\, shear-thinning\, non-Newtonian fluid\, similar to lava flow. Typically\, ice sheets are modeled using a quasi-static model in which a steady momentum-balance system for the ice velocities is coupled to dynamic equations for the ice thickness and temperature. The Albany/FELIX dycore is based on the so-called “First-Order Stokes” equations for the ice momentum balance [4]\, an attractive alternative to the more expensive “Full Stokes” model because of its reduced computational cost. Following an overview of our land-ice model and project\, I will describe some of the algorithms and software we have developed as a part of this project that have contributed to our dycore’s robustness and scalability. These include: robust automatic-differentiation-based nonlinear solvers\, scalable algebraic-multigrid-based iterative linear solvers [5]\, adaptive mesh refinement capabilities\, and stable semi-implicit First-Order Stokes-thickness coupling methods. I will also discuss some of the advanced analysis capabilities in Albany/FELIX\, namely a large-scale inversion approach we have developed for obtaining optimal ice initial conditions [6]\, our workflow towards quantifying uncertainties in land-ice models\, and performance-portability of the Albany/FELIX code to new and emerging architectures using the Kokkos library [7]. I will show results which demonstrate that the Albany/FELIX dycore is scalable\, fast and robust for production-scale land-ice problems on state-of-the-art HPC machines. I will also discuss results from a recent validation study in which Albany/FELIX was used to simulate the Greenland ice sheet during the period 1991-2013 with realistic climate forcing\, and the simulation data were compared with observational data collected by NASA satellites [8]. \nThis work was done in collaboration with Irina Demeshko\, Mike Eldred\, Matt Hoffman\, John Jakeman\, Mauro Perego\, Steve Price\, Andy Salinger\, Ray Tuminaro and Jerry Watkins. \nDr. Tezaur is being hosted by Prof. Garikipati (Mechanical Engineering).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Panos Papadopoulos\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Panos Papadopoulos is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and director of the Computational Solid Mechanics Laboratory. After obtaining his Diploma in Civil Engineering from the Aristotle University\, Greece\, he moved to California to pursue his graduate studies. He obtained his M. Sc. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from UC Berkeley. His research involves experimental\, analytical and computational studies of several mechanics systems. Prof. Papadopoulus develops and applied the finite element method to problems in biomechanics\, dynamics of pseudo-rigid bodies\, mechanics of continues media\, plasticity\, materials science and contact mechanics. \nMultiscale Modeling in Continuum Mechanics: A connection to the Irving-Kirkwood procedure\nThis talk describes a method for extending the classical Irving-Kirkwood procedure used in statistical mechanics for extracting local fluxes to the problem of continuum-on-continuum multiscale modeling. Expressions for stress and heat flux derived here are contrasted to those obtained using the standard Hill-Mandel approach. The polar nature of the macroscopic solid and the role of multiscale invariance are also addressed in the context of this method. Applications are explored within the finite element-based homogenization of solids. \nProf. Papadopoulos is being hosted by Prof. Garikipati (Mechanical Engineering).
