SUMMARY:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminar: Jeffrey Hatch and Jiadong Chen
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 all attendees register so that we can prepare properly. If you have any questions\, please email micde-events@umich.edu. \nRegister to attend this seminar \n  \nJeffrey Hatch: An introduction to the many-body basis set amelioration method\nModeling the interaction of subatomic particles in chemical species has become a routine part of modern chemical research as this analysis can be used to find a system’s energy\, thermodynamic properties and more. The algorithms that can accomplish this vary in their accuracy and computational cost\, with more accurate methods generally incurring more cost. Additionally\, the more subatomic particles present\, the more costly the calculation will be. A computationally intensive family of methods known as select configuration interaction methods are generally thought of as the most accurate and most computationally expensive family of methods. However\, due to their high cost\, it is requisite that we investigate mechanisms of diminishing the cost while maintaining accuracy. The nature of one such method\, incremental full configuration interaction (iFCI) lends itself to accurate extrapolations based on much cheaper levels of theory in smaller basis sets. This is known as the many-body basis set amelioration (MBBSA) method. The MBSSA method has be shown to reduce the cost of a given calculation by as much as 80% without loss in the accuracy of the calculation.\n\nJeffrey Hatch\, Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry and Scientific Computing\nJeffrey is in the Zimmerman group in the chemistry department. He is interested in using HPC methods to improve quantum chemical calculations especially in the configuration interaction realm of electronic structure calculations.\n\n\n\nRegister to attend this seminar\n\n\n\nJiadong Chen: High dimensional phase diagrams: Engineering relative stability in 4-dimensions\nSequential learning algorithms based on Bayesian optimization are routinely being deployed for materials stability optimization in high-parameter spaces. We anticipate these optimization methods would perform better if they were built upon stronger priors\, for example\, as derived from the fundamental thermodynamics underlying the equilibrium behavior of materials. Here\, we present a thermodynamics-based technique to optimize the relative stability of a materials in high-dimensional thermodynamic space\, based on a new derivation of a generalized high-dimensional Clausius Clapeyron relation. Using this thermodynamic infrastructure\, we design several pathways to enhance the relative acid stability of Mn-oxides versus its dissolved states for potential electrochemical catalyst application. We construct a 4-D Pourbaix diagram with pH\, redox potential E\, particle radius 1/R and a chemical potential μK as axis. By exploring the gradients of the high-dimensional phase boundaries\, we derive first-principles insights that nano-sizing (1/R) and certain doping ions (μK) can stabilize some metastable Mn-oxides polymorphs\, where 1/R decreases acid stability and μK increases it. Our high-dimensional thermodynamic framework is a general method to engineer relative stability in parameter spaces that leverage multiple forms of thermodynamic work.\n\nJiadong Chen\, Ph.D. candidate in Materials Science and Engineering and Scientific Computing\nJiadong Chen is a 5th year PhD in materials science and engineering department\, Wenhao Sun group\, focusing on use computational and data-driven methods to predict materials stability and synthesis recipes.\n  \nRegister to attend this seminar

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM/MICDE Seminar:  Title TBA
DESCRIPTION:Talk title & abstract are coming soon.\nBio: Boyce Griffith is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina\, where he is also an Adjunct Professor of Applied Physical Sciences and Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Mathematics. His research group focuses on the development and application of numerical methods for simulating fluid-structure interaction with a particular focus on models of the heart and its valves. Their core approach is based on extensions of the immersed boundary method fluid-structure interaction.\nContact: S. Alben

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminar: Anna Halstenbach and Katie Nissen
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 all attendees register so that we can prepare properly. If you have any questions\, please email micde-events@umich.edu. \nRegister to attend this seminar \n  \nAnna Halstenbach: “Uncovering the network of political parties’ event sponsors in Germany”\nGray money in politics – those contributions that don’t fall under transparency regulations but cannot be made completely anonymous either\, for example sponsorships of political parties’ events – could change our understanding of money as a signal. However\, the fact that neither political parties nor firms are obliged to disclose such transactions makes studying them difficult. In the talk\, I will present one approach to measure gray money on the basis of tweets from party conferences.\n\nAnna Halstenbach\, Ph.D. candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing\nAnna earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Mannheim and her Master’s degree from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Her current research analyzes the distinct incentives within the regulatory frameworks governing political party finances in Germany and the United States. Additionally\, she explores the impact of consumer behavior on firms’ decisions to be vocal about their political donations and take controversial political stances.\n\n\n\nRegister to attend this seminar\n\n\n\nKatie Nissen: “Climate Change Protests and Gender: The Influence of Role Incongruence on Support for Social Movements”\nIn recent years\, we have seen an increase in the incidences of radical protests about climate change in response to lackluster mitigation efforts worldwide. Historically\, the environmental movement as a whole has long been an issue space where women have held prominent leadership positions. However\, role congruity theory posits that women – due to being perceived as more passive and docile than men – may not be regarded as “proper” leaders of social movements\, especially when such movements use radical tactics. How does the interaction of protest tactics and leadership gendering affect support for the current climate movement? In this paper\, we report the results of a pilot survey experiment to address this question. Respondents were exposed to mock news stories about climate protests where they received one of four treatment conditions that varied the protest characteristics between combinations of radical/traditional tactics and women leadership/gender of leadership not specified. Respondents were then asked to report on their level of support for the movement\, level of support for the protest\, and the likelihood of the movement’s success. We also asked respondents to write in their most important reason for supporting the movement or not\, to which we applied basic topic modelling to extract key themes. Ultimately\, our pilot results show support for notion that radical protest tactics harm both support and perceptions of the movement\, but that gender of the protest leadership does not make a significant difference. We believe that the latter result is most likely due to weakness of the gender treatment in the survey experiment\, so future iterations of this work will seek to develop a stronger prime for this component of our analysis.\n\nKatie Nissen\, Ph.D. candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing\nKatie is a current fourth year Joint PhD Candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing. Her research is primarily about factors that influence climate change discourse and public opinion\, and her dissertation will focus on the effects of optimism and pessimism on climate attitudes.\n  \nRegister to attend this seminar
