SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminar: Hannah Van Wyk and Musawer Ahmad Saqif
DESCRIPTION:Hannah Van Wyk will present her talk: Using a hidden markov model to pinpoint the date of the primary case in a dengue outbreak in rural Ecuador.\nAn infectious disease outbreak investigation typically consists of retrospectively determining information regarding the outbreak such as the timing of the primary case (the first case of the outbreak\, whether detected or not) and transmission dynamics that occurred prior to the outbreak. However\, information on the primary case is often hard to obtain\, especially in scenarios where the disease has a high asymptomatic ratio. Using a hidden Markov model\, we estimate the most likely date of the primary case of a dengue outbreak in a small community in northern coastal Ecuador.\n*Bio*:\nHannah is a doctoral student in the Department of Epidemiology. Her research involves using mathematical models of infectious diseases to understand transmission dynamics. She has a background in mathematics and computer science at her undergraduate institution and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology.\nMusawer Ahmad Saqif will present his talk: Fracture and Collapse Simulation of UHPC Structures.\nThis presentation delves into the advanced simulation techniques for understanding the fracture and collapse behaviors of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) structures. Leveraging finite element modeling and experimental validation\, the study elucidates the critical mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of UHPC under various conditions. Through a detailed investigation of microstructural characteristics and their impact on macroscopic performance\, the research provides valuable insights into optimizing the design and resilience of UHPC structures against extreme loading scenarios. The findings contribute significantly to the field of civil engineering by enhancing the predictive capabilities for the structural integrity and durability of UHPC infrastructures.\n*Bio*:\nM. A. Saqif is a fifth year PhD student in Civil Engineering and Scientific Computing at the Computational Structural Simulation Lab. His research interest lies in fracture and collapse simulation of concrete structures.\n*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.\nIf you have any questions\, please email micde-events@umich.edu.*

SUMMARY:MICDE / CEE Seminar: Michael D. Shields\, Associate Professor of Civil & Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Michael D. Shields is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil & Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering\, and is a fellow of the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute. Prof. Shields conducts methodological research in uncertainty quantification (UQ) and probabilistic modeling for problems in mechanics\, materials science\, and physics with applications ranging from multi-scale material modeling to assessing the reliability and safety of large-scale structures. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics from Columbia University in 2010\, after which he was employed as a Research Engineer in applied computational mechanics at Weidlinger Associates\, Inc. He joined the faculty at Johns Hopkins in 2013. For his work in UQ\, Prof. Shields has been awarded the ONR Young Investigator Award\, the NSF CAREER Award\, the DOE Early Career Award\, and the Johns Hopkins University Catalyst Award. Prof. Shields and his group also develop the open-source UQpy (Uncertainty Quantification with Python) software\, which is a general toolbox and development environment for UQ in computational\, mathematical\, and physical systems. \nUQ for ML and ML for UQ: Why Uncertainty Quantification and Machine Learning Go Hand-in-Hand\nUncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Machine Learning (ML) play an increasingly important role in physics-based computational modeling. Especially with the recent rise of scientific machine learning (SciML) and physics-informed ML\, new computational tools are being harnessed to solve bigger and more challenging problems. Moreover\, UQ has become an integral part of any physics-based modeling effort because our models\, as carefully developed as they may be\, are rife with uncertainties (both epistemic and aleatory) in their parameters\, inputs/excitations\, and sometimes in the form of the models themselves. When SciML methods are then applied in these applications\, additional uncertainties are introduced. In this talk\, I will broadly introduce the interrelated roles that UQ and ML play in physics-based modeling. I specifically distinguish between “UQ for ML” and “ML for UQ” and describe the important role that each plays in the modern physics-based computational modeling paradigm – demonstrating the role of UQ/ML in various applications of interest ranging from multi-scale materials modeling to high energy-density physics. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Winter 2024 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in predicting and explaining the properties of materials using computer simulation are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE) and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). Dr. Shields will be hosted by Dr. Evgueni Filipov\, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. \nThis is an in-person event. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:MICDE / Astronomy Seminar:  Shy Genel\,  Associate Research Scientist at the Flatiron Institute\, Simons Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Dr. Shy Genel is an astrophysicist working in the field of computational galaxy formation and cosmology; he is studying how galaxies form and evolve and how they can be used to infer fundamental properties of our Universe. The main tool he employs in his research is cosmological hydrodynamical simulations\, which run on supercomputers and generate digital ‘mini-universes’ that can be analyzed in ways that are not available with observational data. In recent years he has been employing machine learning models to develop novel ways to extract information from this type of simulations.\nDr. Genel received his PhD in 2011 under the guidance of 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate Prof. Reinhard Genzel at the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching\, near Munich. Between 2011-2016 he completed post-doctoral fellowships at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and at Columbia University\, and in 2016 he joined the newly-founded Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute (a division of the Simons Foundation)\, where he serves today as a Research Scientist. \nCosmological Hydrodynamical Simulations and Machine Learning at the Intersection of Galaxy Formation and Cosmology\nAs galaxy surveys encode a wealth of information about the basic properties of our Universe\, improved modeling of galaxy formation will result in improved constraints on cosmology and fundamental physics. Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations\, which follow the coupled evolution of dark and ‘normal’ matter from cosmologically motivated initial conditions\, are a primary tool for studying how galaxies form. After a brief review of the revolution of the past decade in the scale and fidelity of cosmological simulations\, I will discuss a new direction the field is taking in the past few years\, where machine learning is opening new ways to extract cosmological information from the non-linear process of galaxy formation. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Winter 2024 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in predicting and explaining the properties of materials using computer simulation are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE) and the Department of Astronomy\, Dr. Genel will be hosted by Dr. Monica Valluri\, Research Professor of Astronomy. \nThis is an in-person event. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \n

SUMMARY:MICDE Faculty seminar: Philip Roe\, Emeritus Professor\, Aerospace Engineering U-M
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \nBio:  Philip Roe is an Emeritus Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. He is recognized for his pioneering work in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Magnetohydrodynamics. Roe made many fundamental contributions to the development of high-resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws. He is best known for his work on the flux difference splitting for compressible flows with shocks\, typically referred to as the Roe scheme. \nMusings of a Computational Philosopher\nPhilosophy sets a great story by asking the right questions. Indeed a correct answer to the wrong question is seldom of any value. You can even obtain tenure\, I am told\, by asking questions that you cannot yet answer. For the past decade\, I have been trying to ask the right questions about computing compressible flow\, and I hope here to provide a glimpse of the answers. \nA “good” algorithm should “obviously” be accurate\, cheap\, and robust. Of these three desiderata\, I will try here to clarify the notion of accuracy. Although clearly a good thing\, it is almost always defined asymptotically in terms of the behavior at small mesh size or low frequency. This sets precise goals for analysis\, and although accuracy can be achieved in this sense\, in practice we often cannot afford the asymptotic regime. Moreover\, when we deal with compressible flow\, we are forced to deal with high frequencies. We require in fact only rather modest accuracy at low frequency\, but must extend this into the high frequency regime\, and doing this will require answering different questions. I will discuss a double-pronged approach to finding these questions and their answers. \nThis approach demands that the information flow in the computer should closely match that in real life. A great advance toward this was made by introducing Godunov-type methods\, but these merely distinguish left from right\, and their reliance on one-dimensional physics has many drawbacks. However\, for many kinds of problem there are integral solutions to the linear initial-value problem in multiple dimensions. My first prong is to show how these can be used to derive algorithms for linear and nonlinear problems for compressible fluid flow and other applications. These algorithms have remarkable properties\, including true incompressible limits and automatic boundary conditions. The information flow is different for advective and non-advective modes of the solution. \nAs a second way to achieve correct information flow\, I employ solution derivatives as degrees of freedom. This Hermitian representation is common in computer graphics and signal processing but almost unknown in CFD. Its great benefit consists of keeping the stencil compact. This brings about sharp discontinuities\, extends the spectrum and reduces communication overheads. Recently\, with my graduate student Iman Samani\, I have used both prongs of my approach to produce fifth-order solutions for linear elastodynamics on unstructured grids with automatic handling of material interfaces and remote boundaries. I will present these results\, summarize what remains to be done and describe some target applications.

SUMMARY:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminars 2023-2024: Guoer Liu
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 \nWhen Is Big Data Biased?\nUsing automation technology to gather and disseminate information to the public is commonly viewed as a government-led effort to enhance oversight and address the principal-agent problem in bureaucracy. 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:Women in Computational Science Mini-Symposium (DISCOVER)
DESCRIPTION:Women in Computational Science\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Women in Computational Science Symposium is the inaugural event for MICDE’s DISCOVER (Diversity and Innovation in Scientific Computing: Opportunities for Valuing Exploration and Representation) mini-symposium series. This mini-symposium provides a unique opportunity to delve into the pioneering research conducted by women in computational science while also gaining insight into their personal experiences and the challenges they face as researchers.\nThis year’s Women in Computational Science Symposium features: \nKeynote speaker: Katrin Heitmann\, Deputy Division Director Argonne National Laboratory – @ 3 pm\nBio: Katrin Heitmann is the deputy director of Argonne’s High Energy Physics division\, and a physicist and computational scientist. She is also a Senior Associate for the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago and a member of NAISE at Northwestern. Before joining Argonne\, Katrin was a staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Her research currently focuses on computational cosmology\, in particular on trying to understand the causes for the accelerated expansion of the Universe. She is responsible for large simulation campaigns with HACC and for the tools in the associated analysis library\, CosmoTools. Katrin is a member of several major astrophysical surveys that aim to shed light on this question and is currently the Spokesperson for the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration. \nExploring the Dark Universe \nCosmology – the study of the origin\, evolution\, and constituents of the Universe – is now entering one of its most scientifically exciting phases. Three decades of surveying the sky have culminated in the celebrated “Cosmological Standard Model”. Yet\, two of its key pillars\, dark matter\, and dark energy – together accounting for 95% of the mass-energy of the Universe – remain mysterious. Next-generation observatories will open new routes to understand the true nature of the “Dark Universe”. These observations will pose tremendous challenges on many fronts – from the sheer size of the data that will be collected to its modeling and interpretation. The interpretation of the data requires sophisticated simulations on the world’s largest supercomputers. The cost of these simulations\, the uncertainties in our modeling abilities\, and the fact that we have only one Universe that we can observe opposed to carrying out controlled experiments\, all come together to create a major test for statistical methods of data analysis. In this talk\, I will give a brief introduction to the Dark Universe and outline the challenges ahead. I will describe how complex\, large-scale simulations will be used to extract the cosmological information from ongoing and next-generation surveys. \nGuest speakers @ 2 pm\nLiz Livingston\, PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing at U-M \nTitle: Data to Differential Equations – Discovering Mathematical Models for Biological Systems \nBio: Liz Livingston is a 5th year PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan\, advised by Professor Krishna Garikipati and Professor Alberto Figueroa. Her research focuses on data-driven modeling of biological systems. This work spans a range of topics including biomechanics\, numerical methods\, and high-performance computing. She received her BS and MS degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she studied the strength and microstructure of bone. Liz enjoys teaching and cultivates this interest through hands-on experience\, outreach\, and involvement in the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). \nAbstract: Complex phenomena\, such as those observed in biological systems\, can typically be modeled with partial differential equations (PDEs). Finding governing equations can be a daunting task\, often involving simplifications to the system such that the PDE does not fully capture the physics of the problem. Instead of reducing the complexity of the system with successive approximations\, the governing PDE can be discovered using data. One of the fastest and most popular techniques is machine learning\, where a surrogate is found as an approximation to the function. Alternatively\, inference techniques may be used to identify the strong or weak form of the governing equation via parameter estimation. The tools we develop for the discovery of governing equations have applications in many complex systems\, including biological ones such as flow through a stenosed artery and fracture in soft tissues. The goal of my PhD thesis is to develop and improve these mathematical methods to help expand our understanding of complex biological systems. \n  \nRachel Niemer\, Managing Director of WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) \nTitle: Who is WISE for and what should we do? Exploring levers of change to foster equity in STEM \nWISE info: The University of Michigan is at the forefront of equality in science and engineering\, and our focus on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion spans multiple dimensions\, including gender\, race\, SES\, first generation status\, to name a few. The University of Michigan’s Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) unit aims to increase the participation by women and gender minorities in careers in science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics\, and to foster their academic and professional success. We do this by cultivating students’ skills to thrive in STEM\, strengthening the community working toward STEM equity\, and working to mitigate systemic forces that impede retention of women\, and individuals from other historically underrepresented groups\, in STEM. \nAbstract: As we look at the evolving landscape of where women\, and other individuals from historically marginalized groups\, thrive and persist in STEM\, it makes sense to ask why more progress hasn’t been made. Women in Science and Engineering has been a resource for U-M students in STEM since 1980. Over that time\, WISE\, and similar units at other institutions\, have experimented with a range of interventions to help women thrive in STEM. What if we chose the wrong levers for change? Are there radically new ways we might support efforts to graduate more STEM majors from minoritized communities? This presentation will explore different models for advancing STEM equity. \nPanel discussion on navigating scientific careers – @ 4:10 pm\n\n\n\nKatrin Heitmann\, Deputy Division Director Argonne National Laboratory\nLisa Mesaros\, Vice President\, Product Management\, Simulation and Test Solutions at Siemens Digital Industries Software\nLiz Livingston\, Clare Boothe Luce Fellow & PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing\, University of Michigan\nRachel Niemer\, Managing Director of WISE (Women in Science and Engineering)\, University of Michigan

SUMMARY:SciML Webinar: Lenz Fiedler - Efficient calculations of electronic structures with machine-learning models
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/j/95111677727?pwd=V1Q5MkUwT2NpOFVhd0ZRVGR1YTM3Zz09 \n\nSpeaker: Lenz Fiedler (Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf)\nSession Chair: Michael Herbst (EPFL) \nAbstract: Quantum mechanical calculations of the electronic structure of matter enable accessing interesting thermodynamical properties without the need for prior experimental measurements. Therefore\, electronic structure calculations are of great interest in fields such as materials discovery or drug design. At the forefront of such simulations lies density functional theory (DFT)\, due to its excellent balance between computational accuracy and efficiency. Yet\, as pressing environmental and social issues shift the research focus to increasingly complicated systems and conditions\, even the most efficient of DFT implementations are approaching their limitations in terms of computational feasibility. A possible route to enable more complex calculations lies with machine learning (ML)\, i.e.\, algorithms that are capable of capturing complicated relationships based on large amounts of data.\nIn this talk\, Lenz Fiedler will talk about current contributions of Center for Advanced Systems Understanding\, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (CASUS) w.r.t. building ML models that replace conventional DFT calculations. More precisely\, Lenz will talk about the current state of the Materials Learning Algorithms library (MALA)\, which allows easy training and inference for ML-DFT models that are developed by CASUS in cooperation with Sandia National Laboraties and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In contrast to comparable frameworks\, MALA allows full access to the electronic structure of compounds\, including volumetric data as well as scalar quantities of interest\, such as energies. It will be shown how MALA models can operate efficiently across phase boundaries\, length scales and temperature ranges.

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

SUMMARY:MICDE / NERS Seminar:  Larry Aagesen\, Computational Scientist at Idaho National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Dr. Larry Aagesen is a Computational Scientist at Idaho National Laboratory (INL)\, and is the leader of the Computational Microstructure Science group there. He is a member of the development team for Marmot\, INL’s application for simulating microstructural evolution in nuclear fuels and reactor structural materials\, which is based on MOOSE\, INL’s framework for solving partial differential equations using the finite element method. His primary area of expertise is in the phase-field method\, having developed phase-field models for a variety of physical phenomena\, including fission gas bubble evolution\, solid-state precipitation\, solidification and coarsening in metallic alloys and ceramics\, and semiconductor growth. He received his undergraduate degree in Physics at the University of California\, Berkeley in 1997\, followed by service in the U. S. Navy’s nuclear propulsion program and work in industry. He then returned to graduate school\, completing his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University in 2010. This was followed by appointment as a postdoctoral researcher and Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan from 2010 to 2015\, after which he joined INL. \nMulti-scale modeling of the evolution of structure and properties in materials for nuclear energy applications\nNuclear energy is an important component of an overall strategy to address climate change. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is the U.S. Department of Energy’s primary facility for research and development in nuclear science and technology for energy generation\, supporting the improvement and life extension of the existing reactor fleet and the development and licensing of new reactor designs. Computational modeling is an important component of these activities\, particularly in the area of materials for nuclear applications\, where experimental data can be very challenging and expensive to acquire\, and where data is especially scarce for new reactor designs. INL has used multi-scale modeling – linking atomistic\, mesoscale\, and engineering scales – to improve the ability to predict the performance of materials for nuclear energy applications. These modeling efforts make extensive of MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment)\, a general-purpose open source finite element framework developed at INL. In this talk\, I will give an overview of the approach and tools used\, and several examples of application\, including performance of nuclear fuels\, understanding radiation-driven formation of nanoscale void and gas bubble superlattices\, and powder densification through electric field assisted sintering. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2023 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in predicting and explaining the properties of materials using computer simulation are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE) and the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences\, (NERS). Dr. Aagesen will be hosted by Dr. Kevin Field\, Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering. \nThis is an in-person event. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \n

SUMMARY:MICDE / ME Seminar: Erik Draeger\, Director of the High Performance Computing Innovation Center and RADIUSS project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Dr. Erik Draeger is the Director of the High Performance Computing Innovation Center and RADIUSS project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as well as the Scientific Computing group leader at the Center for Applied Scientific Computing. He is also the Deputy Director of Application Development for the Exascale Computing Project\, jointly overseeing a portfolio of 22 Office of Science applications\, 4 NNSA applications\, and 7 co-design projects. Erik earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of California\, Berkeley in 1995 and received a PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics from the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign in 2001. He has over a decade of experience developing scientific applications to achieve maximum scalability and time to solution on next-generation architectures. He has been a finalist for the Gordon Bell Prize six times since 2005 and won the prize in 2006. \nSupercomputing at the exascale and beyond: future trends and challenges\nFor the past seven years\, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has funded a comprehensive push to refactor 24 application projects to efficiently utilize exascale computing hardware to solve a varied set of complex science and engineering problems. Ambitious performance and capability goals were set for each application that demanded end-to-end rethinking of traditional approaches. Through detailed performance analysis\, integration with optimized co-design frameworks and software libraries\, and the use of programming abstractions to manage data placement and kernel execution\, ECP applications recently demonstrated substantial capability and performance improvements on newly-available exascale machines. Despite significant diversity in the methods and algorithms underlying the ECP application portfolio\, several common themes emerged in how to best adapt computational workloads to heterogeneous architectures. In this talk\, an overview of best practices and lessons learned on effectively utilizing exascale hardware from the perspective of ECP applications will be presented. Strategies for developing portable\, performant code will be discussed and examples of reexamining traditional algorithms and methods will be described.

SUMMARY:SciML Webinar: Bowen Deng - CHGNet: pretrained universal interatomic potential to study electron coupled ionic systems.
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/j/95111677727?pwd=V1Q5MkUwT2NpOFVhd0ZRVGR1YTM3Zz09 \n\nSpeaker: Bowen Deng (UC Berkeley)\nSession Chair: Sakidja Ridwan (Missouri State University) \nAbstract: Large-scale simulations with complex electron interactions remain one of the greatest challenges for atomistic modeling. Although classical force fields often fail to describe the\ncoupling between electronic states and ionic rearrangements\, the more accurate ab-initio molecular dynamics suffers from computational complexity that prevents long-time and large-\nscale simulations\, which are essential to study technologically relevant phenomena. Our work presents the Crystal Hamiltonian Graph Neural Network (CHGNet)\, a graph-neural-\nnetwork-based machine-learning interatomic potential (MLIP) that models the universal potential energy surface. CHGNet is pretrained on the energies\, forces\, stresses\, and magnetic moments\nfrom the Materials Project Trajectory Dataset\, which consists of over 10 years of density functional theory calculations of ∼ 1.5 million inorganic structures. The explicit inclusion of\nmagnetic moments enables CHGNet to learn and accurately represent the orbital occupancy of electrons\, enhancing its capability to describe both atomic and electronic degrees of freedom.\nWe demonstrate several applications of CHGNet in solid-state materials and energy storage applications.

SUMMARY:SciML Webinar Ji Qi: DImensionality-Reduced Encoded Clusters with sTratified (DIRECT) sampling for Robust Training of Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/j/95111677727?pwd=V1Q5MkUwT2NpOFVhd0ZRVGR1YTM3Zz09 \n\nSpeaker: Ji Qi (UC San Diego and LLNL)\nSession Chair: Daniel Schwalbe-Koda (UC Los Angeles) \nAbstract: Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable accurate simulations of materials at scales beyond conventional first-principles approaches\, and they have played increasingly important roles in understanding and design of materials. However\, MLIPs are only as accurate and robust as the data they are trained on. In this seminar\, I will present DImensionality-Reduced Encoded Clusters with sTratified (DIRECT) sampling as an approach to select a robust training set of structures from a large and complex configuration space. By applying DIRECT sampling on the Materials Project relaxation trajectories dataset with over one million structures and 89 elements\, we develop an improved materials 3-body graph network (M3GNet) universal potential that extrapolate more reliably to unseen structures. We further show that molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with universal potentials such as M3GNet can be used in place of expensive ab initio MD to rapidly create a large configuration space for target materials systems. For demonstration\, we combined this scheme with DIRECT sampling to develop a reliable moment tensor potential for titanium hydrides without the need for iterative augmentation of training structures. \nIn this seminar\, I will walk through two Jupiter notebooks to showcase DIRECT sampling with the two example cases demonstrated in our manuscript\, so that audience can expect to reproduce our major results with no trouble. Hopefully\, DIRECT sampling will serve as a straightforward\, efficient\, useful plug-in for the robust training of MLIPs across any compositional complexity.

SUMMARY:SciML Webinar Justin Beroz: A closed-form mathematical framework for modeling turbulent fluids
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Justin Beroz (ReynKo Inc.) \n\nSession Chair: Varun Shankar (Physics Inverted Mataerials) \nAbstract: Despite significant advances over the past two centuries\, a complete general mathematical framework for turbulent fluid motion has yet to be put forth\, and remains the longest standing unsolved problem in classical physics. I will present such a framework\, which is based on constructing a spectral decomposition for the fluid’s kinetic energy from first principles. The approach departs from the usual Reynolds decomposition and yields a set of closed and solvable ordinary differential equations in matrix form. Within this prescription\, the linear terms in the Navier-Stokes equations correspond to a symmetric matrix operator\, and the nonlinear convective term enters as an anti-symmetric operator that provides coupling between eigenstates of turbulent fluctuation. Specifically\, I will present a derivation for the turbulent energy spectrum\, including the Kolmogorov energy cascade; elucidate instability mechanisms for the transition to turbulence;  and detail the analytical solution for turbulence in a box. Careful attention will be given to the physical picture and scaling\, in addition to the rigorous mathematical program. The talk will conclude with a forward look into current efforts implementing the model into a numerical simulation within my company\, ReynKo Inc.

SUMMARY:LANL XPS Seminar: Mark W. Schraad\, Division Leader for Computational Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Mark W. Schraad earned his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan and has nearly three decades of research and development experience at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He focused his research career on materials physics\, with specialization in structured materials and material instabilities\, while also gaining scientific leadership experience across theoretical and computational physics\, modeling and simulation\, and scientific software development for advanced computing architectures and hardware. Mark has balanced experience across Los Alamos Science\, Technology\, and Engineering and Weapons Directorates\, and across the Laboratory’s basic science and mission application portfolios. In his current position\, he serves as Division Leader for Computational Physics within the Weapons Physics Directorate at Los Alamos National Laboratory. In this role\, he is responsible for the development and delivery of LANL’s suite of mission-critical modeling and simulation software\, which is used in the design\, certification\, and assessment of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. \nHigh-Performance Computing and the Future of Big Science for Department of Energy Applications\nLos Alamos is the birthplace of computational physics and has been at the forefront of high-performance computing for nearly eight decades. Integrating physics theory and advanced numerical methods in the instantiation of multi-physics software has allowed Los Alamos to address a broad range of science and technology applications. Today\, as one of 17 Department of Energy National Laboratories\, Los Alamos continues to develop and deploy advanced software in the execution of a complex mission across national security\, energy security\, and environmental and climate science. As part of that endeavor\, the Computational Physics Division at Los Alamos develops and delivers a continuously evolving suite of production software products to design and analyze large-scale integrated physics experiments and to enable the design\, assessment\, and confident certification of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. These software products are deployed on leading-edge\, high-performance computing platforms\, such as the Trinity and Crossroads supercomputers at Los Alamos\, and the Sierra and El Capitan machines at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. With a shifting geopolitical landscape\, our software serves a national security mission of ever-increasing importance. Yet\, simultaneously\, the rapid pace of science and technology change places a premium on agility\, with a diversity of computing platforms and architectures coming online\, and with AI poised to revolutionize approaches to modern science. Ultimately\, an integration of artificial intelligence methodologies with the co-design of software and future computing architectures will allow new levels of physics fidelity\, numerical accuracy\, and efficiency in time to solution for the most challenging scientific workflows to address a broad spectrum of future\, big-science problems. \n  \nSnacks and refreshments will be provided!

SUMMARY:SciML Webinar: Jianke Yang - Generative Adversarial Symmetry Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jianke Yang (UC San Diego) \n\n\nSession Chair: Bharath Ramsundar (Deep Forest Sciences) \nAbstract:Despite the success of equivariant neural networks in scientific applications\, they require knowing the symmetry group a priori. Automatic symmetry discovery methods aim to relax this constraint and learn invariance and equivariance from data.  We propose a framework\, LieGAN\, to automatically discover equivariances from a dataset using a paradigm akin to generative adversarial training. Specifically\, a generator learns a group of transformations applied to the data\, which preserves the original distribution and fools the discriminator. LieGAN represents symmetry as an interpretable Lie algebra basis and can discover various symmetries such as the rotation group and the restricted Lorentz group in trajectory prediction and top-quark tagging tasks. More generally\, LieGAN can also be extended to discover the nonlinear symmetries in high-dimensional dynamics. The learned symmetry can be readily used in several existing equivariant neural networks to improve prediction accuracy and generalization. It can also improve the symbolic equation discovery and long-term forecasting for various dynamical systems. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:MICDE / ME Seminar:  Olivier Desjardins\, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Olivier Desjardins is a Professor at the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University. He joined the Cornell MAE faculty in July 2011. Prior to that\, he was on the Mechanical Engineering faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He received a Master of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from ENSAE (Supaero) in Toulouse\, France\, in 2004. The same year\, he received a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University\, then in 2008 he obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. He received an NSF CAREER award in 2014 to work on turbulence modeling around liquid-gas interfaces\, and he was presented with the Junior Award from the International Conference on Multiphase Flow in 2016. \nResearch Interests: Prof. Desjardins’ research focuses on large-scale numerical modeling of turbulent reacting multiphase flows with industrial application. Using world-class parallel computers\, his group develops numerical methods and models to investigate the multi-scale and multi-physics fluid mechanics problems that arise in a range of engineering devices\, such as combustors or biomass reactors. \nHigh-fidelity computational techniques such as large-eddy simulations and direct numerical simulations are at the heart of Dr. Desjardins’ research. By enabling the exploration of complex non-linear flow physics from first principles\, these techniques have the potential to guide the development of highly optimized energy and propulsion systems. \nMulti-scale modeling of topology change in multiphase flow simulations\nLiquid atomization and spray formation are ubiquitous processes in nature as well as engineered system. Predicting droplet size distributions from first principle simulations presents a fantastic challenge due to the wide range of scales involved in topology change. In this talk\, we present new developments to the geometric volume of fluid method that enable the tracking of sub-grid scale interfacial features. By reconstructing the interface with multiple planar surfaces or with paraboloid surfaces\, we show that ligaments and sheets can be represented accurately independently of mesh resolution while preserving exact conservation\, good computational efficiency\, and easy integration with finite-volume-based flow solvers. A consequence of such strategies is that lack of mesh resolution no longer induces topology change\, which then needs to be reintroduced explicitly using physics-based models. We discuss various flavors of such models in the context of the break-up of thin liquid films\, a common feature in aerodynamic liquid atomization. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2023 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in predicting and explaining the properties of materials using computer simulation are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME). Prof. Desjardins will be hosted by Dr. Jesse Capecelatro\, Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. \nThis is an in-person event. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?
