SUMMARY:Ph.D. in Scientific Computing Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The MICDE PhD Student Seminar Series showcases the research of students in the Ph.D. in Scientific Computing. Lunch will be served. These events are open to the public\, but we request that all who plan to attend register in advance. Planned sessions will be canceled if no one signs up to present\, and registered attendees will be notified. \nIf you have any questions\, please email micde-phd@umich.edu. \nRegister to attend \n\nPy-Conformational-Sampling: Towards Predicting Stereoselectivity\nStereoselective reactions are an integral part of organic synthesis due to the abundance of chiral centers in natural products and drug molecules. The design of these reactions remains challenging due to specific substrate requirements\, delicate reaction conditions and more importantly\, multiple competing product-forming transition states (TSs). These TSs often arise from a range of conformers present within the reactant complex. Thus\, predicting stereoselectivity requires detailed insights into favorable interactions amidst the conformational ensemble. This work introduces Py-Conformational-Sampling (PyCoSa) as a methodical approach to sample transition-metal-catalyzed stereoselective reactions. This technique\, when devoted to atroposelective Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to generate axially chiral biaryl products\, shows a variety of mechanistic possibilities through which C(sp2)–C(sp2) bond formation takes place. \nSoumik Das (Chemistry and Scientific Computing)\nSoumik is currently pursuing Ph.D. in Chemistry and Scientific Computing under the supervision of Dr. Paul Zimmerman. His research interests involve developing and applying automated and predictive computational tools using quantum chemistry for reaction design and discovery. Among other things\, he’s also a recipient of MICDE Graduate Fellowship for the academic year 2023-2024 and presented his research in MICDE conference SciFM ’24. \n\nDensity Functional Theory Simulations of Icosahedral Quasicrystals\nQuasicrystals (QCs) are fascinating materials with their long-range aperiodicity and forbidden rotational symmetry\, which opened a new type of classification in crystallography and attracted much attention to its potential applications to condensed matter\, statistical and solid-state physics. The characterization and identification of QCs after the first discovery is widely undertaken\, but thermodynamic stability and kinetics of nucleation are ongoing questions to answer the synthesizability and design novel structures. The quantum mechanical simulation including the density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used method for atomic-scale simulation\, however\, aperiodicity of QC structure makes it challenging to apply a computational model for periodic boundary frameworks. In this present work\, atomistic simulation of Tsai-type ScZn and YbCd icosahedral quasicrystals (iQCs)\, which is one of recently discovered iQCs types\, were performed using density functional theory – finite element (DFT-FE) method to study the thermodynamic stability\, role of surface energy to the stability\, and driving force of QC formation. The size-dependent and mixed-thermodynamic-and-kinetic phase diagram from quantitative theoretical calculations can provide fundamental insights into the origin of QC formation. \nWoohyeon Baek (Materials Science and Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nWoohyeon Baek is a PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering and Scientific Computing under the supervision of Dr. Wenhao Sun. He is working on the thermodynamics and kinetics of non-traditional materials formation from computational simulations including quasicrystals\, minerals\, functional materials\, and organic crystals. \n\nData-Driven Development of Constitutive Equations for Thixotropic Waxy Oil Rheology for Flow Assurance Using Symbolic Regression and PINNs\nWaxy crude oils crystallize below the wax appearance temperature\, forming networks that make rheology strongly dependent on temperature and prior shear history\, complicating pipeline restart operations. We develop a compact\, predictive modeling framework that combines data-driven and mechanistic approaches\, with all methods using differential scanning calorimetry crystallinity measurements to encode temperature effects. Symbolic regression (PySR) trained on two temperatures accurately predicts steady-state flow curves at remaining temperatures. A Fractal Isotropic-Kinematic Hardening (FIKH) model\, fitted at two temperatures for steady response\, predicts steady behavior at other temperatures; for transients\, parameters identified at 5°C reproduce rejuvenation and recovery dynamics at additional temperatures. We introduce LFP-IKH (Liquid Free-Path IKH)\, a novel approach that defines the structural state as liquid-network connectivity bounded by crystallinity. When calibrated only on steady-state data\, LFP-IKH predicts both steady and transient responses across all temperatures without refitting. This yields a mechanism-based framework that requires no parameter adjustment across temperature ranges\, making it suitable for flow-assurance prediction and restart design applications. \nSamuel Ogunwale (Chemical Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nSamuel Ogunwale is a sixth-year PhD student in Chemical Engineering working in the Larson group. His research focuses on developing predictive models for complex fluid systems\, combining mechanistic understanding with experimental validation to address industrial flow assurance challenges.

Rather than outsourcing information processing entirely to electronics\, MI envisions materials that store\, process\, and adapt to environmental inputs through intrinsic mechanical responses\, reducing latency and energy while improving robustness in extreme and cyber-contested conditions. Realizing MI requires three elements: a memory module to retain knowledge from inputs\, a computing module to interpret and act on information\, and a physical communication interface linking storage and computation. In this talk\, I will introduce a new approach to realizing MI in and through a reconfigurable phononic metastructures via the concept of in-memory phononic learning\, where mechanical states are programmed to encode and store information and the elastic-wave physics is harnessed to carry out computation and decision—a framework that unifies the full information chain in the mechanical domain and provides efficient\, physically interpretable processing by using elastic waves as the natural communication and processing medium.  \nYuning Zhang (Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nYuning is a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering under Prof. Kon-Well Wang. His research focuses on wave propagation in phononic metastructures\, and the development of physical computing and mechanical intelligence.  \n\nGlobal Probabilistic Geomagnetic Perturbation Forecasting \nAccurately predicting the horizontal component of the ground magnetic field perturbation (dBH)\, as a proxy for Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs)\, is crucial for estimating the impact of geomagnetic storms and remains a topic under active investigation. The current operational Geospace model is computationally expensive for fine-grid global simulations\, while existing machine learning methods consistently tend to underestimate dBH. Additionally\, these models either lack uncertainty quantification (UQ)\, which is either overlooked or treated as secondary. In this work\, as part of the NextGen SWMF project funded by NSF\, we develop a data-driven\, grid-free global model using deep Gaussian process (DGP)\, a Bayesian non-parametric approach that forecasts the dBH for the full surface of Earth with calibrated uncertainty. The model uses solar wind measurements and the Dst index as input\, and it is trained based on ground magnetometer station data provided by SuperMAG over the period 1995-2022. The model’s predictions are evaluated based on the Heidke skill score (HSS) for a total of 23 storms in 2015. We further test the model on the 2024 Gannon superstorm. The results demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art model\, with predictions exhibiting high accuracy in mid-latitudes and high-latitude regions in the northern hemisphere. \nHongfan Chen (Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nHongfan Chen is a fourth-year PhD student in Mechanical Engineering and the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE) Scientific Computing program. His research develops computational methods for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and machine learning (ML) in complex scientific and engineering systems\, with emphases on data assimilation (DA)\, knowledge-guided machine learning\, and optimal experimental design (OED).  \n\n

Automated HFO detectors alleviate manual labeling but false positives\, artifacts\, remain. Clinicians recognize artifacts readily while viewing the EEG at standard resolution across channels\, and observing artifacts at the times of HFO events leads to a loss of trust in the detections. In this work\, we collect a new gold standard of HFO labeling using clinician expertise\, train several machine learning algorithms\, and develop an artifact filter compatible with any HFO detector to distinguish between true and false positives. \nAshley Tan (Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nHer research involves developing engineering tools to control epilepsy. She is currently developing machine learning methods for artifact detection of a potential biomarker and investigating the effects of electrical brain stimulation on pathological activity. \n\nEmergence of three-dimensional structures from vortex pair instabilities in shocked interfacial flows\nThe Crow instability is a vortex-line instability that leads to the three-dimensional growth of perturbations in counter-rotating vortices\, with pinch-off leading to the generation of vortex rings at late time. Classically\, two incompressible\, inviscid vortices are studied in this context; in the present work\, we use numerical simulations to demonstrate that the cores which are generated from the compressible multi-material Richtmyer-Meshkov instability are subject to the Crow instability. Thus\, the onset of the Crow instability from the Richtmyer-Meshkov-induced cores can act as a mechanism for transitioning a nominally two-dimensional Richtmyer-Meshkov flow to three dimensions. \nWilliam White (Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nWilliam is a PhD student in the Scientific Computing and Flow Physics Lab working on high-order numerical methods for compressible interfacial flows\, as well as interfacial and vortex-line hydrodynamic instabilities. \n\n

However\, its accuracy is fundamentally limited by the choice of the exchange-correlation (XC) functional\, which remains an approximation in all practical applications. A key shortcoming of existing functionals is their failure to reproduce critical features of the exact XC potential\, such as the asymptotic -1/r decay and the step at integer electron transitions—features essential for correctly describing ionization energies\, band gaps\, and dissociation limits. In this work\, we take a data-driven approach to improving DFT by generating XC potentials from full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations. Using a large Slater basis\, we systematically recover key features of the exact XC potential across atomic systems and analyze their behavior. Additionally\, we compute exchange-correlation energy densities via an aufbau path integral\, ensuring consistency with total XC energy values from FCI. These highly accurate DFT quantities establish a benchmark for diagnosing errors in existing functionals and guiding the development of new approximations that incorporate wavefunction-level accuracy while retaining DFT’s efficiency. \nVaibhav Khanna (Chemistry and Scientific Computing)\nVaibhav Khanna is a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan\, where he works under the supervision of Prof. Paul Zimmerman. His research focuses on developing improved density functionals that bridge the gap between highly accurate but computationally expensive wavefunction methods and the efficiency of the popular Density Functional Theory (DFT). By incorporating wavefunction-level accuracy\, his work aims to significantly improve the predictive power of DFT\, a widely used computational method in chemistry\, physics\, and materials science. \n\nTurbulence transport and size segregation of shock-driven multiphase flows\nThe phenomena of a shock-wave interacting with a particle suspension is observed in applications such as pulse detonation engines\, volcanic eruptions\, coal dust explosions and plume-surface interactions during spacecraft landings. Compressibility effects during these interactions give rise to complicated dynamics in the suspensions. While there has been a lot of effort and progress in modeling incompressible flows\, much less work has been done in modeling the microscale physics in turbulent flows at finite Mach numbers. Particle-resolved numerical simulations of shock passing through monodisperse suspensions are used to guide the development of subgrid-scale models for turbulence transport. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) is found to contribute to a significant portion of the resolved kinetic energy. A two-equation model is proposed and implemented within a hyperbolic Eulerian-based two-fluid model. The model is found to be accurate across a wide range of volume fractions and Mach numbers. Additionally\, to analyse particle dispersion and segregation in bidisperse suspensions with extreme diameter size ratios\, a hybrid numerical framework is developed\, combining an immersed boundary method for large particles with Lagrangian particle tracking of small particles.  \nArchana Sridhar (Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing)\nArchana is a 5th year PhD student in the Aerospace Engineering department. She is a MICDE Fellow working with Dr. Jesse Capecelatro. Her focus is on computational fluid dynamics of multiphase compressible flows. \n\n

However\, focusing on the expansion of China’s automatic ambient air quality monitoring network in the last decade (2012-2022)\, I argue that technology is being utilized as a tool to emphasize optics but overlook the substantive problems. I illustrate the idea with multiple original georeferenced data sets on the automatic monitoring network\, pollution sources\, and satellite-derived vegetation density across time and space. I show that\, while the automation initiative has improved the data quality in some ways\, the undersupply of automatic monitoring stations\, over-represented clean locations\, and non-random missing pollution records continue to contribute to inaccurate air pollution information. As long as political incentives to manipulate information persist\, actors can mold technology that operates without human intervention to serve their own interests. \nGuoer Liu\, Ph.D. candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing\nGuoer Liu is a Ph.D. candidate in Political Science.

SUMMARY:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminars: Bernardo Pacini & Srinivasan Arunachalam
DESCRIPTION:The MICDE PhD Student Seminar Series showcases the research of students in the Ph.D. in Scientific Computing. These events are open to the public\, but we ask that you register to attend the seminar. If you have any questions\, please email micde-events@umich.edu. \nRegister to attend this seminar \nGradient-Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization for Propeller Design\nUrban air mobility (UAM) vehicles have taken form as advanced rotorcraft with sets of wings\, rotors\, canards\, and other appendages. Noise generation is an important technical barrier that must be addressed to prevent these vehicles from causing excessive disturbance to the communities they are intended to service. To understand the noise these vehicles generate\, and to develop designs that can minimize disturbance\, there is a need for analysis and optimization tools specifically for the conceptual design and sizing phase of urban air mobility vehicle development. Such tools must be computationally efficient to allow for the repeated analyses needed for design optimization. This presentation will review the work being carried out at the University of Michigan\, coupling aerodynamic\, structural\, and aeroacoustic disciplines within the multidisciplinary gradient-based design optimization framework OpenMDAO. While aerostructural optimization has been performed previously\, coupling with aeroacoustics is challenging given the requirement for time accurate simulations and the associated computational cost of such analyses. By leveraging multiple model fidelities and utilizing efficient gradient calculation techniques\, such as the adjoint method and algorithmic differentiation\, these disciplines can be formulated into an optimization framework that can be applied to UAM vehicle designs. This presentation will review the work completed to date\, including preliminary results\, and expand on the future goals of the project\, working towards a broader optimization framework for rotorcraft vehicle design optimization. \nBernardo Pacini\, Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing \nBernardo Pacini is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Michigan focusing his research on aerodynamic\, structural\, and aeroacoustic modeling for multidisciplinary design optimization of urban air mobility vehicles. He is a member of the Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Laboratory led by Professor Joaquim R. R. A. Martins and of the Computational Aerosciences Laboratory led by Professor Karthik Duraisamy. Bernardo’s work to date is on developing an aero-structural-acoustic analysis framework that can be implemented within the multidisciplinary design optimization process for rotorcraft and urban air mobility vehicle design. \nRegister to attend this seminar \nValidation of a multivariate non-Gaussian\, non-stationary wind pressure simulation model for performance-based wind engineering\nWith a growing interest in probabilistic performance assessments of building systems subjected to wind loads\, there is a demand for accurately representing building-specific wind loads\, considering their non-Gaussian and non-stationary features. While typical wind tunnel data collected for a set of discrete wind directions provide a single realization of stationary pressures\, there is currently no experimentally validated model for the stochastic simulation of non-Gaussian and non-stationary wind pressures that can be calibrated to wind tunnel datasets. Such a model is essential for simulating building aerodynamics\, especially the stochastic\, path-dependent responses associated with time-varying wind speed and direction experienced by a building during hurricane wind events. This talk will review a recently developed theoretical formulation for generating these stochastic pressures. Through carefully designed tests conducted at the University of Florida wind tunnel facility\, the formulation was extensively validated with respect to its ability to capture trends over time\, occurrences of peaks\, and time-varying frequency content. \nSrinivasan Arunachalam\, Ph.D. candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Scientific Computing \nSrinivasan Arunachalam is a PhD candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research interests lie in uncertainty quantification and understanding the inelastic behavior of wind-excited structures. He is excited about the algorithmic developments that enable efficient reliability assessments\, as well as the evolving insights into the physics of extreme responses and their implications for structural design. \nRegister to attend this seminar
