SUMMARY:Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D and C#
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nVideo game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools\, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production.  \n  \nUnity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects\, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform\, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration. \n  \nIn this workshop\, we introduce the Unity3D workspace\, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to bring their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - MICDE/EEB Seminar: Yun Song\, Professor\, Computer Science and Statistics\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Yun S. Song is a professor of EECS and Statistics. He received the BS degrees in mathematics and physics from MIT\, and a PhD in physics from Stanford University. After his PhD\, he spent a year at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford\, where he decided to change fields. He became a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Statistics at Oxford\, and started doing research in computational biology and mathematical population genetics. From 2004 to 2007\, he was a postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis in the Department of Computer Science\, and the Section of Evolution and Ecology. \nThe key parameters that govern translation efficiency\nTranslation of mRNA into protein is a fundamental biological process mediated by the flow of ribosomes on mRNA transcripts.  With multiple factors that can potentially affect its efficiency\, this transport process is highly complex and heterogeneous: different mRNAs can have different initiation rates\, local elongation rates can vary substantially along the mRNA\, and multiple ribosomes can simultaneously translate the same mRNA\, potentially leading to interference.  In this talk\, I will present new theoretical results on a probabilistic model of mRNA translation which allowed us to identify the key parameters that govern the overall rate of protein synthesis\, sensitivity to initiation rate changes\, and efficiency of ribosome usage.  I will then describe our ongoing study\, which combines in vitro translation experiments with mathematical modeling\, to elucidate the role of the 5′ UTR (particularly uAUGs and uORFs) in regulating translation initiation in eukaryotes.

SUMMARY:Building software projects: CMake is more than a build tool
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is a continuation of the previous workshop “Building software projects: use CMake to build the building plan”.  In this workshop\, we will see that CMake is not just a fancy Makefile generator: it can help us to test\, reuse\, and distribute our software!  We will use CMake to build two interdependent multi-language projects\, and demonstrate how to invoke unit tests after the build\, how to make our code discoverable and reusable by other software developers\, and how to create a distributable package.  If you intend to distribute your software to other research groups\, or if you expect that your project will grow beyond a few files of code and a few months of use — this workshop is for you! \nParticipants will need to have laptops with WiFi connection if they wish to follow the hands-on exercises.  A basic knowledge of Unix-like operating systems would be helpful in following and understanding the material\, but is not required.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Deep Neural Networks with Keras/TensorFlow
DESCRIPTION:Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. Keras is a high-level\, Python interface running on top of multiple neural network libraries\, including the popular library TensorFlow. In this workshop\, participants will learn how to quickly use the Keras interface to perform nonlinear regression and classification with standard fully-connected DNNs\, as well as image classification using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We will also look at regularization techniques and how to deal with under- and over-fitting. All examples will use Python; some familiarity with Python is recommended. Computers will be available to complete exercises. We will run the models using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:Go for data processing Part 2
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-session workshop on the use of Go for data processing.  Go is an open source language developed for general-purpose programming.  It is not more difficult to learn and use than a high-level scripting language like Python\, but it is strongly typed\, statically compiled\, and provides native support for concurrency\, leading to much better performance for many common tasks.  In this series of workshops\, we introduce Go as a tool for data processing. No prior exposure to Go is expected\, but participants should have some programming background. Free and open source tools for Go are available for all common platforms.   \nParticipants should bring a laptop if they want to work with the examples during the presentation\, but this is optional.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - MICDE/AIM Seminar: John Harlim\, Professor\, Mathematics and Meteorology\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: John Harlim is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences. Harlim received his undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the Universitas Padjadaran (Indonesia)\, a master’s from the University of Guelph in Applied Mathematics\, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation from the University of Maryland at College Park. His research interests in applied mathematics include parameter estimation\, machine learning\, manifold learning\, operator estimation\, data assimilation. \n Learning Missing Dynamics through Data\nThe recent success of machine learning has drawn tremendous interest in applied mathematics and scientific computations. In this talk\, I would address the classical closure problem that is also known as model error\, missing dynamics\, or reduced-order-modeling in various community. Particularly\, I will discuss a general framework to compensate for the model error. The proposed framework reformulates the model error problem into a supervised learning task to approximate a very high-dimensional target function involving the Mori-Zwanzig representation of projected dynamical systems. Connection to traditional parametric approaches will be clarified as specifying the appropriate hypothesis space for the target function. Theoretical convergence and numerical demonstration on modeling problems arising from PDE’s will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Machine Learning in R
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll first discuss core machine learning concepts such as: choosing loss functions and evaluation metrics; splitting the data into training\, validation\, and testing sets; and cross-validation patterns for tuning hyper-parameters. Next\, we’ll apply these concepts to train models for identifying isolated letters from speech (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/isolet). \nSpecifically\, we’ll apply the elastic net (a generalization of ridge and lasso regression)\, random forests\, and gradient boosting to this task.  We’ll briefly discuss each model/method but our primary focus will be on understanding the core functionality of the related R packages (glmnet\, randomForests\, xgboost) and tuning associated hyper-parameters.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Demetrios Papageorgiou\, Professor\, Applied Mathematics\, Imperial College London
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE\nBio: Demetrious Papageorgiou is a Professor at Imperial College London.  He is an applied mathematician that works on problems that arise in fluid dynamics. He is interested in systems involving immiscible fluids that are characterized by the presence of spatiotemporally evolving sharp interfaces.  \nElectric field effects in immiscible multilayer flows\nMultilayer flows such as falling films and coating flows\, or pressure-driven flows of immiscible fluids in channels and pipes\, are fundamental in applications. Such flows are typically stable if they are slow enough (highly viscous). Such regimes arise in small-scale geometries (e.g. microfluidics)\, and electric fields can be used to drive the system out of equilibrium to produce patterning\, mixing and phase separation. \nI will begin with some experiments and direct numerical simulations (DNS) that show how electric fields can be utilized in their dual role of inducing instabilities or stability depending on geometry and orientation. I will then review the theoretical models underpinning such phenomena and will use asymptotic theories to derive and study reduced-dimension model equations that describe nonlinear interfacial waves in the presence of fields. Computations predict rich dynamics including spatiotemporal chaos and singularity formation. Some novel inertialess nonlinear interfacial instabilities will also be described – these arise due to flux functions of derived evolution equations changing type from hyperbolic to elliptic. Finally\, I will present results on the use of electric fields and/or blowing suction in achieving feedback and optimal control of falling film flows. Comparisons with DNS will be made and these will be used beyond the range of validity of asymptotic models to predict phenomena such as electrostatic suppression of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities\, and electrostatically induced pumping in microchannels. \nThis seminar is co-sponsored by the Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics program. Prof. Papageorgiou is being hosted by Prof. Krasny (MATH).

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - MICDE/AIM Seminar: Lyudmyla Barannyk\, Associate Professor\, Mathematics\, University of Idaho
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Lyudmyla Barannyk is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Idaho. Barannyk received a masters in Applied Mathematics from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and a PhD in Mathematics Sciences from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rutgers the State University of New Jersery. She is currently a visiting Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. \nModeling of the solid-liquid phase change in materials with internal heat generation\nWe study a simple model for the evolution of the solid-liquid interface during melting and solidification (Stefan problem) of a material with constant internal heat generation and prescribed heat flux at the boundary in the cylindrical geometry. The problem is motivated by the need to control the behavior of nuclear fuel rods in a potential meltdown scenario. The equations are solved by splitting them into transient and steady-state components and then using separation of variables. This results in an ordinary differential equation for the interface that involves infinite series. The initial value problem is solved numerically\, and solutions are compared to the previously published quasi-static solutions. We show that when the internal heat generation and boundary heat flux are close in value\, the motion of the phase change front takes longer to reach steady-state than when the values are farther apart. As the difference between the internal heat generation and boundary heat flux increases\, the transient solutions become more dominant and the phase change front does not reach steady-state before the outer boundary or centerline is reached. Hence the difference between the internal heat generation and boundary heat flux can be used to control the motion and speed of the solid-liquid interface. Limitations of the present model and possible future extensions will be discussed. \n\n\n\nThis is joint work with Sidney Williams (Georgia Tech)\, Irene Ogidan (University of Idaho)\, John Crepeau (University of Idaho)\, and Alexey Sakhnov (Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics\, Novosibirsk\, Russia).

SUMMARY:Regular Expressions
DESCRIPTION:Regular expressions are perfectly suited for people who like puzzles. Regular expressions are a sequence of characters used to define a search pattern. They are commonly used to do “find” and “find and replace” string operations. They are also used to validate strings like phone numbers\, passwords\, etc. in data entry. Regular expression capabilities can be found in a variety of programming languages and software like ArcGIS\, Java\, Javascript\, Matlab\, Perl\, PHP\, Python\, R\, Visual Basic\, etc. and some text editors. \nThe workshop will consist of hands-on example problems. Learn to search beyond “*.txt”. The tutorials will be conducted using Python. A basic programming background is helpful but not required for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Introduction to SAS: Simple Inference Procedures
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisites: Participant should have some familiarity with introductory statistics and be able to load data into and perform basic data manipulations in SAS. \nIn this one-day\, six-hour workshop we will discuss the basics of using SAS for statistical inference and modeling. The workshop is held in a computer lab and will alternate between instructor presentations and attendee work sessions.  After this course the attendee will be able to perform\, in SAS\, basic statistical inference procedures (hypothesis tests\, confidence intervals) for a variety of data scenarios such as one-sample\, independent-samples\, and paired-sample t-tests; chi-square test of independence of two categorical variables;  correlation between two interval variables; ANOVA; simple and multiple linear regression; and simple and multiple logistic regression. Good statistical practice will be demonstrated but this workshop is not designed to teach statistics.

SUMMARY:Survival analysis in Python
DESCRIPTION:Survival analysis is used when working with data that may be censored\, as often is the case in studies of human subjects with incomplete follow-up.  The presence of censoring makes most forms of regression and other standard statistical analyses inappropriate. A body of specialized techniques for analyzing this type of data has been developed\, including methods for estimating and comparing marginal survival functions\, and regression methods including the widely-utilized Cox proportional hazards model.  This workshop will briefly review the key principles of survival analysis\, then illustrate by example how various survival analysis methods can be carried out using Python with the Statsmodels package.  \nParticipants should bring a laptop if they want to work with the examples during the presentation\, but this is optional.

SUMMARY:R by Example: Functional Programming with data.table
DESCRIPTION:In the R by Example series of workshops\, we’ll discuss example analyses in R as a vehicle for learning  commonly used tools and programming patterns. The “Functional Programming with dplyr” workshop will initially focus on analyzing winter home temperatures in the US using data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/).  We’ll use the data.table package for data manipulation\, and then demonstrate how to encapsulate the basic pattern within a function. Such functional programming allows us to repeatedly apply this pattern to answer other questions about this data. By using a function\, we make our code more concise and easier to understand. This workshop is geared towards intermediate to advanced R users\, or as a follow-up to the “Analyzing RECS using data.table” workshop.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Sarah D. Olson\, Associate Professor\, Mathematical Sciences\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
DESCRIPTION:Bio:Sarah Olson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Olson received her undergraduate degrees in Mathematics and Biology from Providence College\, a master’s from the University of Rhode Island in Mathematics\, and a PhD in Biomathematics from North Carolina State University. She has worked in the general areas of fluid dynamics\, scientific computing\, and mathematical biology. \nSperm Navigation in Complex Environments\nMicroorganisms can swim in a variety of environments\, interacting with chemicals and other proteins in the fluid. In this talk\, we will highlight recent computational methods and results for swimming efficiency and hydrodynamic interactions of swimmers in different fluid environments. Sperm are modeled via a centerline representation where forces are solved for using elastic rod theory. The method of regularized Stokeslets is used to solve the fluid-structure interaction where emergent swimming speeds can be compared to asymptotic analysis. In the case of fluids with extra proteins or cells that may act as friction\, swimming speeds may be enhanced and attraction may not occur. \nThis seminar is co-sponsored by the Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics program. Prof. Olson is being hosted by Prof. Alben (MATH). If you would like to meet with her during her visit\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu. If you are an MICDE student or a MATH student and you would like to join Professor Olson for lunch during her visit\, please RVSP by Feb. 27.

SUMMARY:Complex Systems Seminar: David Goluskin\, Assistant Professor\, Mathematics and Statistics\, University of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Bio: David Goluskin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria. Goluskin received his undergraduate degrees from the University of Colorado\, Boulder\, a master’s from Columbia University\, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Columbia University. His research is in the broad area of applied nonlinear dynamics and incorporates both computation and analysis. Much of Professor Goluskin’s work concerns fluid dynamics\, but he also studies simpler ordinary and partial differential equations. \nStudying dynamics using computational polynomial optimization\nMany complex systems are governed by nonlinear ODEs or PDEs that cannot be solved exactly. Various properties of such solutions can be inferred by constructing auxiliary functions that satisfying suitable inequalities. The most familiar example is the construction of Lyapunov functions to infer stability of particular states\, but similar approaches can produce many other types of mathematical statements\, including for systems with chaotic or otherwise complicated behavior. Such statements include estimates of time-averaged quantities and extreme transient behavior\, approximation of nonlinear stability properties\, and design of controls. In many cases\, the search for the auxiliary function that implies the strongest mathematical statement can be posed as a convex optimization problem. Such problems can be studied analytically or computationally\, but in most cases computation is needed to find solutions that are close to optimal. Of particular use are computational methods of polynomial optimization\, where the optimization constraints include polynomial inequalities. This talk will provide an overview of different ways in which auxiliary functions can be used to study nonlinear ODEs and PDEs\, as well as how polynomial optimization can be used to implement these methods computationally. Methods will be illustrated using applications to various complex systems.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Osman Basaran\, Professor\, Chemical Engineering\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Professor Osman Basaran is a Burton and Kathryn Gedge Professor of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. He received his undergraduate degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a PhD from the University of Minnesota. Prof. Basaran’s research involves the use of a balanced approach based on computation\, theory\, and experiment to attack a number of fundamental issues that lie at the heart of such practical problems. \nHigh-accuracy simulation of free surface flows near finite-time pinch-off and coalescence singularities\nMotivated by applications such as ink jet printing\, drop-by-drop manufacturing\, sprays\, emulsions\, and chemical separations\, we study the dynamics of breakup and coalescence through high-accuracy simulation\, theory\, and experiment.  In this talk\, I will highlight our group’s work on accurately capturing the fluid dynamics that takes place in the vicinity of finite-time singularities. The free surface flow algorithms and solvers that we develop and use rely on a sharp interface representation of phase boundaries.  In the simulations\, we are able to analyze situations that involve disparate length scales that differ by up to seven orders of magnitude (commercial codes can handle about 2-3 orders and custom codes can capture at most 3-4 orders of magnitude disparity in length scales). The primary focus of the talk will be on simulations of the breakup of surfactant-covered filaments where I will pay special attention to the pinch-off singularity.  I will also summarize some of our recent work on the pre- and post-coalescence singularities that arise when two drops or bubbles are driven together and made to merge into one.  \nThis seminar is co-sponsored by the Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics program. Prof. Basaran is being hosted by Prof. Deegan (Physics). If you would like to meet with Prof. Basaran during his visit\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu. If you are an MICDE student or an AIM student and you’re interested in having lunch with Prof. Basaran during his visit\, please RSVP by Thursday\, February 20\, 2020.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Corelogic real estate data for research
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan library system has licensed a large data set containing real estate transactions\, deeds\, and property tax records for the United States. The data were collected by the commercial vendor Corelogic\, and our license allows UM researchers to use the data for research purposes. These data are of potential interest to researchers in many fields\, as they capture spatial and temporal real estate market conditions\, taxing practices\, and the physical states of millions of residential structures in the US. \nIn this workshop\, members of MIDAS and CSCAR will go over the contents and limitations of the data\, some examples of research questions that used this set of data\, and some of the computational and analytic tools that have been successfully used with these data in the past. CSCAR consultants can provide free guidance for researchers wishing to work with these data\, including both methodological and computational aspects of the work. We will also be happy to discuss with you to help you decide how this dataset can be used for your specific research questions.

SUMMARY:R by Example: Functional Programming with dplyr
DESCRIPTION:In the R by Example series of workshops\, we’ll discuss example analyses in R as a vehicle for learning  commonly used tools and programming patterns.  The “Functional Programming with dplyr” workshop will initially focus on analyzing winter home temperatures in the US using data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/).  We’ll use the dplyr package for data manipulation\, and then demonstrate how to encapsulate the basic pattern within a function. Such functional programming allows us to repeatedly apply this pattern to answer other questions about this data. By using a function\, we make our code more concise and easier to understand. This workshop is geared towards intermediate to advanced R users\, or as a follow-up to the “Analyzing RECS using tidyverse” workshop.

SUMMARY:Introduction to SAS: Basic Data Manipulating\, Summarizing\, and Graphing
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisites: Familiarity with basic statistical calculations and graphs is helpful. \nIn this one-day\, six-hour workshop we will discuss the basics of using SAS for data analysis. The workshop is held in a computer lab and will alternate between instructor presentations and attendee work sessions. After this course the attendee will be able to load data into SAS from several file formats; create new variables in a dataset; sort\, join\, and subset datasets; create and use data formats; and properly record missing data. Additionally\, the attendee will be able to compute\, in SAS\, basic univariate summaries (e.g.\, means\, standard deviations\, quantiles\, counts\, percentages) and create univariate graphs (e.g.\, histograms\, density curves\, boxplots\, and bar charts). If time permits\, we will discuss multivariate summaries (e.g.\, correlations\, odds ratios) and graphs (e.g.\, scatterplots\, stacked bar charts\, side-by-side boxplots). Good statistical practice will be demonstrated but this workshop is not designed to teach statistics.

SUMMARY:R II: Programming
DESCRIPTION:People using R for applied research are often not taught basic programming practices such as writing functions\, efficient iterative processing\, vectorization\, and other practices that would make their research far more efficient and reproducible.  Understandably\, focus is on basic data manipulation and getting model results.  Unfortunately\, this can mean the data isn’t as explored as it should be\, or other opportunities are lost (e.g. feature engineering)\, because of the presumed effort that would be required to deal with the data more fully.\n\nThis workshop will help you get more out of R so that you can take your efforts to the next level.\n\nPrereq: Some basic experience using R is required (R I).  You should know how to create and manipulate objects\, run basic analyses\, etc.  This could also be useful to anyone with programming experience in another language like Python.\n\n\nContent Basis: https://m-clark.github.io/data-processing-and-visualization/

SUMMARY:Basics of automatic dependency management with Make
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we will discuss the concept of dependency management\, with the primary focus on build dependencies between software components.  We will learn how to express the dependencies and how to automate the software building process using Make utility and language.  \nWe will go through hands-on exercises and will see how expressing the dependencies decreases the time to build a project.  Although Make is traditionally used in software projects consisting of multiple files of code in a compiled language (such as C\, C++\, Fortran\, or Golang)\, we will also discuss how to utilize Make for dependency management in non-programming projects.  At the end of the workshop you will be able to use Make to script routine tasks and track dependencies automatically.  \n  \nParticipants will need to have laptops with WiFi connection if they wish to follow the hands-on exercises.  A basic knowledge of Unix-like operating systems would be helpful in following and understanding the material\, but is not required.
