SUMMARY:PhD Seminar: Alex Hrabski
DESCRIPTION:The Ph.D. in Scientific Computing program is intended for students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation\, computational methods\, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their doctoral studies. This seminar series showcases the breadth of research covered by the program.  \nFeatured Speaker:\nAlex Hrabski\, PhD Candidate\, Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering and Scientific Computing\nAlex is a PhD candidate in the department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering\, working in Yulin Pan’s Flow Physics and Engineering Lab to study nonlinear waves. His research seeks to leverage modern computational capabilities to explore wave turbulence theory and the physics that it seeks to describe. \nInvestigations of Wave Turbulence in Bounded Domains\nNonlinear wave systems are ubiquitous in nature\, and when many incoherent dispersive waves interact\, there is the potential for wave turbulence. Just as in hydrodynamic turbulence (HDT)\, systems in wave turbulence exhibit inter-scale energy cascades\, power-law inertial-range spectra\, and even intermittency. Unlike in HDT\, however\, a natural analytical closure for field statistics has been developed: spectral evolution in wave turbulence can be expressed as a Boltzmann-like kinetic equation. In this talk\, we will numerically probe the interplay of nonlinear strength and domain size (critical quantities to the analytical closure) in determining the behaviors of wave turbulence in a model system. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that (a) domain aspect ratio plays a key role in spectral evolution when nonlinearity is weak\, (b) that near-resonant interactions are important for the observation of kinetic behavior\, and (c) evaluations of the energy cascade can be used to investigate the wave turbulence closure. \n\n  \nThis event is part of MICDE’s seminar series featuring Ph.D. students in the Scientific Computing program. This series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational and data sciences are encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email MICDE-events@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Albert Berahas Assistant Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Albert S. Berahas is an Assistant Professor in the Industrial and Operations Engineering department at the University of Michigan. Before joining the University of Michigan\, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department at Lehigh University working with Professors Katya Scheinberg\, Frank Curtis and Martin Takáč. Prior to that appointment\, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences department at Northwestern University working with Professor Jorge Nocedal. Berahas completed his PhD studies in the Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics (ESAM) department at Northwestern University in 2018\, advised by Professor Jorge Nocedal. He received his undergraduate degree in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering (ORIE) from Cornell University in 2009\, and in 2012 obtained an MS degree in Applied Mathematics from Northwestern University. Berahas’ research broadly focuses on designing\, developing and analyzing algorithms for solving large scale nonlinear optimization problems. Specifically\, he is interested in and has explored several sub-fields of nonlinear optimization such as: (i) general nonlinear optimization algorithms\, (ii) optimization algorithms for machine learning\, (iii) constrained optimization\, (iv) stochastic optimization\, (v) derivative-free optimization\, and (vi) distributed optimization. \n  \nALGORITHMS FOR DETERMINISTICALLY CONSTRAINED STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION \nStochastic gradient and related methods for solving stochastic optimization problems have been studied extensively in recent years. It has been shown that such algorithms and much of their convergence and complexity guarantees extend in straightforward ways when one considers problems involving simple constraints\, such as when one can perform projections onto the feasible region of the problem. However\, settings with general nonlinear constraints have received less attention\, and many of the approaches that have been proposed for solving such problems resort to using penalty or (augmented) Lagrangian methods\, which are often not the most effective strategies. In this work\, we propose and analyze stochastic optimization algorithms for deterministically constrained problems based on the sequential quadratic optimization (commonly known as SQP) methodology. We discuss the rationale behind our proposed techniques\, convergence in expectation and complexity guarantees for our algorithms\, and the results of preliminary numerical experiments that we have performed. This is joint work with Raghu Bollapragada\, Frank E. Curtis\, Michael O’Neill\, Daniel P. Robinson\, Jiahao Shi and Baoyu Zhou. \n  \n\nThe MICDE Winter 2023 Seminar Series is open to all. \nThis seminar is hosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE). Prof. Berahas will be hosted by Prof. Siqian Shen\, Associate Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering and Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:PhD Seminar: Ismael Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:The Ph.D. in Scientific Computing program is intended for students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation\, computational methods\, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their doctoral studies. This seminar series showcases the breadth of research covered by the program.  \nFeatured Speaker:\nIsmael Mendoza\, PhD Candidate\, Physics and Scientific Computing\nIsmael is a 4th year Physics PhD student working in the area of cosmology. His research focuses on developing novel statistical and machine learning methods to analyze astronomical images from state-of-the-art telescopes. \nGitHub \nMachine Learning in Cosmology\nIn the upcoming decades\, we will have the opportunity to solve some of the biggest questions about our universe by taking advantage of the huge amounts of data produced by upcoming state-of-the-art cosmological experiments. In order to harness the full statistical power of this data\, we will need to develop scalable and accurate algorithms that can extract its maximal information. Recent advances in Machine Learning have demonstrated its ability to overcome the computational bottlenecks of traditional statistical techniques and even achieve better performance when analyzing cosmology data. In this talk\, I will give a brief overview of the open problems in cosmology\, motivate how Machine Learning (ML) could help us answer these by enabling novel analyses of upcoming cosmological surveys\, and give a specific application of ML enabling probabilistic detection and measurement of galaxy images. \n\n  \nThis event is part of MICDE’s seminar series featuring Ph.D. students in the Scientific Computing program. This series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational and data sciences are encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email MICDE-events@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:PhD Seminar: Meichen Liu
DESCRIPTION:The Ph.D. in Scientific Computing program is intended for students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation\, computational methods\, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their doctoral studies. This seminar series showcases the breadth of research covered by the program.  \nFeatured Speakers:\nMeichen Liu\, PhD Candidate\, Earth and Environmental Science and Scientific Computing\nShe works with Professor Jeroen Ritsema in the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Her research involves characterizing earthquake sources as well as imaging structures in deep Earth. \nInfluence of shear wave velocity heterogeneity on SH-wave reverberation imaging of the mantle transition zone\nWe use the top-side shear wave reflection Ssds as a probe for mapping the depths of the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath the contiguous US. Using a common-reflection point (CRP) mapping approach\, we observe that the MTZ are about 40–50 km deeper beneath the western United States than the central-eastern United States if based on the 1-D Earth wave velocity model (Preliminary Reference Earth Model). However\, the east-to-west deepening of the MTZ disappears in the CRP image if we account for 3-D shear wave velocity variations in the mantle according to global tomography. In addition\, from spectral-element method synthetics\, we find that ray theory overpredicts the traveltime delays of the reverberations. Undulations of the MTZ are underestimated when their wavelengths are smaller than the Fresnel zones of the wave reverberations in the MTZ. Therefore\, modelling of layering in the upper mantle must be based on 3-D reference structures and accurate calculations of reverberation traveltimes. \n\n  \nThis event is part of MICDE’s seminar series featuring Ph.D. students in the Scientific Computing program. This series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational and data sciences are encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email MICDE-events@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:PhD Seminar: Khoi Dang
DESCRIPTION:The Ph.D. in Scientific Computing program is intended for students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation\, computational methods\, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their doctoral studies. This seminar series showcases the breadth of research covered by the program.  \nFeatured Speaker:\nKhoi Dang\, PhD Candidate\, Chemistry and Scientific Computing\nKhoi is a 5th year graduate student in the Chemistry Department currently developing electronic structure theory methods in the Zimmerman Group. \nParallel Heat-bath Configuration Interaction\nThe heat-bath configuration interaction (HBCI) method is a deterministic wave function method that approaches the full CI limit at greatly reduced cost. HBCI consists of two parts: the generation of a variational wave function\, followed by a perturbative correction. This work introduces a parallel implementation that is highly scalable and overcomes the memory bottleneck of perturbation theory. The implementation demonstrates 83% parallel efficiency for the perturbative step on 32 nodes. \n\n  \nThis event is part of MICDE’s seminar series featuring Ph.D. students in the Scientific Computing program.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Miguel Bessa Associate Professor of Engineering\, Brown University
DESCRIPTION:Miguel Bessa is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at Brown University. His research interests include computational mechanics and materials science\, development of numerical methods\, machine learning and optimization\, multi-scale modeling of materials and structures. Miguel Bessa and his research group envision a new era for the design of materials and structures using artificial intelligence. Miguel received a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University in 2016 as a Fulbright scholar. After a short postdoctoral position at Caltech (2017) and a quick leap from Assistant to Associate Professor (2021) at Delft University of Technology\, he joined the Solid Mechanics Group at Brown University in the Summer of 2022. \nCOOPERATIVE DATA-DRIVEN MODELING \nThe human brain is capable of learning tasks mostly without forgetting. However\, deep neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning tasks one after the other. We address this challenge considering a class-incremental learning scenario where the network sees test data without knowing its origin. We show the best results to date for the ImageNet dataset\, outperforming by more than 20% the state of the art. The proposed method is also applied to learn material laws\, illustrating its versatility. This strategy is believed to open new avenues for cooperation among different researchers and practitioners. \n  \n\nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. \nThis seminar is hosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE). Prof. Bessa will be hosted by Prof. Krishna Garikipati\, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics and Director of MICDE. \nThis is an in-person event\, Zoom link will only be provided upon request. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:MICDE / AIM Seminar: Jennifer Franck\, Assistant Professor of Engineering Physics\, University of Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING HERE. \nJennifer Franck is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She leads the Computational Flow Physics and Modeling Lab\, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to explore the flow physics of unsteady and turbulent flows. Ongoing research projects are in the areas of bio-inspired flows and the fluid dynamics of renewable energy systems with current projects funded by NSF and ARPA-E. Prior to joining the UW-Madison faculty in 2018\, she was faculty at Brown University. She received her undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering from University of Virginia\, followed by a M.S. and Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology. Following her PhD\, she was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship hosted at Brown University to computationally explore fluid dynamics mechanics of flapping flight. \nPREDICTIVE MODELING OF OSCILLATING FOIL WAKE DYNAMICS \nSwimming and flying animals rely on the fluid around them to provide lift or thrust forces\, leaving behind a distinct vortex wake in the fluid. The structure and size of the vortex wake is a blueprint of the animal’s kinematic trajectory\, holding information about the forces and also the size\, speed and direction of motion. This talk will introduce a bio-inspired oscillating turbine\, which can be operated to generate energy from moving water through lift generation\, in the same manner as flapping birds or bats. This style of turbines offers distinct benefits compared with traditional rotation-based turbines such as the ability to dynamically shift its kinematics for changing flow conditions\, thus altering its wake pattern. Current efforts lie in predicting the vortex formation and dynamics of the highly structured wake such that it can be utilized towards cooperative motion within arrays of oscillating foils. Using numerical simulations\, this talk will discuss efforts towards linking the fluid dynamic wake signature to the underlying foil kinematics\, and investigating how that effects the energy harvesting performance of downstream foils. Two machine learning methodologies are introduced to classify\, cluster and identify complex vorticity patterns and modes of energy harvesting\, and inform more detailed modeling of arrays of oscillating foils. \n  \n\nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational fluid dynamics are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery and Engineering (MICDE) and the Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics program (AIM) at the University of Michigan. Prof. Franck will be hosted by Prof. Silas Alben\, Professor of Mathematics. \nThis is a virtual event broadcasted online via Zoom. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:PhD Seminar: Srihari Sundar and Vishwas Goel
DESCRIPTION:The Ph.D. in Scientific Computing program is intended for students who will make extensive use of large-scale computation\, computational methods\, or algorithms for advanced computer architectures in their doctoral studies. This seminar series showcases the breadth of research covered by the program.  \nFeatured Speakers:\nSrihari Sundar\, PhD Candidate\, Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing\nHari’s research interests include decarbonization of the power sector\, climate impacts\, computational modeling\, and sustainable transformation. His current research in the center for sustainable systems is focused on predicting changes in the energy system — meteorology interaction with a transition to widespread renewable energy generation. He aspires to use this to inform long term planning of reliable power systems under a changing climate while ensuring a just transition. \nLinkedIn   Twitter \nMeteorological Drivers of Resource Adequacy Failures During the Transition to a Decarbonized Power System\nIncreasing meteorological extremes and renewable penetrations could challenge resource adequacy (RA) in the electric power system\, as demonstrated by recent blackouts in California and Texas. We quantify meteorological drivers of RA in the Western U.S. power system\, and examine how these drivers change with increasing renewable penetrations. Our analysis integrates an optimization-based capacity expansion model\, stochastic RA model\, and neural-network-based self-organizing maps. We find that RA failures are driven by high pressure circulation patterns which produce positive surface temperature anomalies and negative solar radiation and wind speed anomalies. Further\, with increasing renewable penetration we find that the probability of failure attributed to patterns associated with heat waves over the region increases. \n\nVishwas Goel\, PhD Candidate\, Materials Science and Engineering and Scientific Computing\nVishwas is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research is primarily focused on simulating electrochemical phenomena on multiple scales. \nLinkedIn \nSimulating microgalvanic corrosion in Mg alloys using PRISMS-PF\nMagnesium and its alloys are the lightest structural metallic materials known\, and therefore\, hold vast potential for reducing the weight for various transportation modes such as airplanes\, cars\, buses\, etc. Although the alloying of Mg with elements such as Al\, Mn\, and rare earth (RE) elements is known to improve the mechanical properties of Mg\, the process is often detrimental to the corrosion performance of Mg. This increase in the corrosion rate occurs because of the micro-galvanic couple that forms between the Mg-rich phase\, which acts as an anode\, and the alloying-element-rich phase\, which acts as a cathode. \nUsing both experiments and modeling\, it has been reported that the rate of micro-galvanic corrosion in the Mg-alloys depends on the alloying element and microstructure. However\, a deeper understanding is required for quantifying the effect of microstructure characteristics such as the fraction of the two phases\, spacing between the two phases\, the geometry of the two phases\, etc.\, on the corrosion rate. This understanding is crucial for designing Mg-alloys with optimal mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance. \nTo bridge this gap in our understanding\, we perform the continuum-scale phase-field modeling of different microstructures observed in Mg-alloys. Furthermore\, we complement the modeling work with theoretical analysis\, where we develop analytical relations for studying the effect of various material and microstructural parameters on the characteristic corrosion length scale. The results from both these efforts will be summarized in our presentation. \n\n  \nThis event is part of MICDE’s Fall 2022 seminar series featuring Ph.D. students in the Scientific Computing program. This series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational and data sciences are encouraged to attend. \nQuestions? Email MICDE-events@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Reese Jones\, Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff\, Sandia National Laboratories
DESCRIPTION:Reese Jones is currently a staff scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore\, CA. He is engaged in materials science and computational physics research with scales ranging from atomic/molecular to the continuum. He has made contributions to multiscale methods\, electrochemical and thermal transport\, atomic-level fracture\, and contact. Recently he has been developing and applying machine learning methods to provide constitutive models for\ncomplex materials\, quantify material uncertainty\, and interpret materials imaging for reliability analysis. \nPREDICTING FAILURE IN POROUS METALS USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS \nPredicting whether defects are critical or not is a high-value task in medicine\, materials engineering\, and other fields. Tools that augment expert opinion are needed in the current era of high resolution imaging that can reveal an overwhelming number of defects. In particular\, porosity is a persistent feature of additively manufactured materials and determines failure locations through complex mechanics that exhibit sensitivity to the initial pore locations. In the case of materials engineering expensive direct numerical simulations are available and can be used to train efficient surrogates. Neural networks\, such as the one we have developed\, enable more complete analysis of potential outcomes. \nIn this work\, we develop convolutional neural networks as surrogate models for predicting failure\nlocations. The binary classification problem of categorizing intact/failed voxels is first regularized by recasting it as a regression problem for the continuous damage field subjected to pre-processing transformations. An apparent challenge is the damage fields display a relatively small number of voxels close to failure leading to a form of class imbalance for regression that can cause the optimizer to converge to a poor local minimum. We address this through a re-weighting of the loss function which accounts for the relative frequencies of damage values. Another challenging aspect is the high sensitivity of the outcomes to the porosity field which typically creates multiple regions of high damage competing for failure. This motivates the use of Bayesian neural networks to capture sensitivities in the prediction through uncertainty quantification. We use these uncertainties to rank the likelihood of failure of any particular cluster of porosity in a reliability analysis. Lastly\, to aid transferability of the network and reduce the training burden when it is applied to new materials and processes\, we are exploring transfer learning techniques. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. \nThis seminar is hosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE).

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: John Tramm\, Assistant Computational Scientist\, Argonne National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Dr. John Tramm is an assistant scientist in the computational science division at Argonne National Laboratory. He received his PhD in computational nuclear engineering from MIT in 2018. John’s research efforts are focused on improving neutron transport methods that drive massively parallel simulations of nuclear reactors using some of the world’s largest supercomputers. John also has deep experience developing and optimizing simulation applications for GPU-based systems. \n  \nTHE RISE OF PORTABLE GPU PROGRAMMING: EXPERIENCES DEVELOPING GPU-BASED SCIENTIFIC SIMULATION APPLICATIONS FOR INTEL\, NVIDIA\, AND AMD GPUs \nHistorically\, portability has not been important for GPU programming as NVIDIA has dominated the high performance computing (HPC) GPU market. With only one major GPU vendor available to choose from\, it has always made sense to develop scientific HPC apps using NVIDIA’s proprietary CUDA programming model. However\, in 2022 both AMD and Intel are releasing HPC GPU products with the intention of competing directly with NVIDIA. In fact\, the world’s first exascale supercomputer (Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Frontier) is powered by AMD GPUs\, with another even larger exascale supercomputer (Aurora) powered by Intel GPUs set to arrive at Argonne National Laboratory shortly. These new computers highlight a trend not just from CPU to GPU in HPC\, but also a trend from proprietary CUDA into a number of different portable performance models for GPU. Thus\, scientific application developers are now confronted with not only the difficultly of porting or developing apps for GPU architectures\, but also with selecting from a wide variety of portable GPU programming models (for instance\, OpenMP offloading\, HIP\, SYCL/DPC++\, OpenCL\, Kokkos\, RAJA\, and OCCA). \nIn this talk\, I will briefly introduce the newest supercomputing systems and will give an overview of the many different portable performance models now available for GPUs. I will show a few snippets of an example kernel implemented in a variety of different models\, and will even compare performance of a scientific mini-app\, XSBench\, across all major programming models and GPU architectures. Subjective “pros and cons” of each programming model will be discussed along with quantitative performance comparisons. Next\, I will use a full scientific GPU application (the OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code) as a case study to discuss real-world issues affecting portable scientific GPU applications and how bleeding-edge GPU compiler technology stacks are faring. I will also briefly discuss a few of the algorithmic performance optimizations that we developed for OpenMC to give a feel for what types of changes are required to achieve high performance on GPU. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. \nThis seminar is hosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE). Dr. Tramm will be hosted by Prof. Brendan Kochunas\, Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences. \nThis is an in-person event\, Zoom link will only be provided upon request. This seminar will not be recorded! \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Pania Newell\, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, University of Utah
DESCRIPTION:Pania Newell is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and holds adjunct faculty positions at the School of Computing and Civil Engineering Department at the University of Utah. Before joining The University of Utah\, she was a member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories. She obtained her M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico and the University of Colorado-Boulder\, respectively. Her research interest lies at the interface of mechanics and material sciences. In particular\, she is interested in multi-scale\, multi-physics phenomena in heterogeneous porous materials through developing theoretical\, computational\, and experimental frameworks combined with data sciences. She is the co-founder/co-host of an academic podcast called “This Academic Life”. \nMECHANICS OF HIERARCHICAL POROUS MATERIALS: DESIGN\, CONTROL AND PREDICTION \nHierarchical porous materials with pores at multiple length scales are widespread in nature. Although different compositions\, textures\, and physical properties of natural porous materials have inspired researchers and engineers to design materials with controllable pore structures\, the hierarchical structure of natural porous materials poses challenges in understanding damage and fracture in these complex systems. To be able to create nature-inspired materials\, we must have a mechanistic understanding of materials ranging from the macro- to the nanoscale. In this talk\, I will begin by providing an overview of porous materials and their substantial role in our energy sector. I will then discuss some of our recent efforts in designing nano/micro porous structures with different pore morphology and novel in-situ testing to highlight the effect of different structural and geometrical parameters in porous materials across scales. I will also show how computational tools enable us to enhance our fundamental understanding of fracture propagation mechanisms in such materials over a wide range of scales. At the nanoscale\, molecular dynamics simulation provides information about mechanical properties\, such as fracture energy release rate for various pore morphologies. At the micro-scale\, the impact of the pore shape and size on fracture pattern is investigated through a two-scale homogenization method coupled with the state-of-the-art phase-field fracture technique. The results of this hierarchical coupling approach highlight the importance of higher-order parameters associated with the pore shape and size on fracture properties and patterns at the continuum scale. \n  \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in multi-scale\, multi-physics phenomena in heterogeneous porous materials are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is hosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE). Prof. Newell will be hosted by Prof. Krishna Garikipati\, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics and Director of MICDE. \nThis is an in-person event\, Zoom link will only be provided upon request. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:MICDE / IOE Seminar: Andreas Wächter\, Professor of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences\, Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING HERE. \nAndreas Wächter is a Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University. His research interests include the design\, analysis\, implementation and application of numerical algorithms for nonlinear continuous and mixed-integer optimization. He obtained his master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Cologne\, Germany\, in 1997\, and this Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2002. Before joining Northwestern University in 2011\, he was a Research Staff Member in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights\, NY. He is a recipient of the 2011 Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software and the 2009 Informs Computing Society Prize for his work on the open-source optimization package Ipopt. \n\n\n\nTHE ARPA-E GRID OPTIMIZATION COMPETITION\nIn recent years\, the US Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has been organizing the “Grid Optimization Competition.” To participate\, teams from academia and industry submitted computer program implementations of specialized algorithms for solving large realistic Security-Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF) problems. The performance of the solvers was tested and ranked independently by the organizers\, using large-scale real-life instances. The goal of SCOPF is the determination of the most cost-efficient operation of an electrical power grid in a such way that it can withstand contingencies in the form of outages of any its components. Mathematically\, this is an extremely large-scale two-stage nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem. In this presentation\, the approach of several teams will be described\, including that of our own GO-SNIP team that placed second in the first challenge. \nFollowing the seminar IOE is holding a small reception in IOE Commons – 1709\, snacks and refreshments will be served. \n\nThe MICDE Fall 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in power grid optimization are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery & Engineering (MICDE) and the Department of Industrial and Operations Engineering. Prof. Wächter will be hosted by Dr. Salar Fattahi\, Assistant Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering and Dr. Siqian Shen\, Associate Professor of Industrial and Operations Engineering and Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. \nThis event is in-person only! \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, and MICDE fellows\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?
