SUMMARY:MICDE-IOE Seminar: Jong-Shi Pang\, Professor\, University of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in February 2021 and appointed a Distinguished Professor in April 2023\, Jong-Shi Pang joined the University of Southern California as the Epstein Family Chair and Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering in August 2013. Prior to this position\, he was the Caterpillar Professor and Head of the Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne for six years between 2007 and 2013. He held the position of the Margaret A. Darrin Distinguished Professor in Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and was a Professor of Decision Sciences and Engineering Systems at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from 2003 to 2007. He was a Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University from 1987 to 2003\, an Associate Professor and then Professor in the School of Management from 1982 to 1987 at the University of Texas at Dallas\, and an Assistant and then an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie-Mellon University from 1977 to 1982. During 1999 and 2001 (full-time) and 2002 (part-time)\, he was a Program Director in the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation. Professor Pang has served as the Department Academic Advisor of the Department of Mathematics at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has given many distinguished lectures at universities worldwide and plenary lectures at international conferences. \nHeaviside Composite Optimization\, a new paradigm of optimization\nAbstract: This talk introduces the topic of Heaviside composite optimization and briefly covers its many facets: breadth in modeling\, roles in old and new applications\, theory of optimizers and stationary solutions\, bridge with discrete optimization\, and the progressive integer programming method. By definition\, a univariate Heaviside function is the (discontinuous) indicator of an interval. By its name\, a Heaviside composite function is the composition of a Heaviside function with a continuous multivariate function that may be nonconvex and nondifferentiable. While very natural in modeling many physical phenomena\, a Heaviside composite optimization problem\, possibly with Heaviside composite functional constraints\, has never been formally studied. Our work aims to fill this void with a comprehensive research program covering the applications\, theory\, and algorithms for this novel class of very challenging optimization problems. \nThis research has benefitted from previous collaboration with Ying Cui (UC Berkeley)\, Yue Fan (CUHK-SZ)\, Shaoning Han (NUS)\, Junyi Liu (Tsinghua)\, and Xinyao Zhang (USC)\, and is presently being organized in a monograph co-authored with Junyi Lui.

SUMMARY:Ph.D. in Scientific Computing Student Seminars
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 request that all who plan to attend register in advance. \nIf you have any questions\, please email micde-phd@umich.edu. \nRegister to attend \n\nAerodynamic Shape Optimization with Curved Mesh Adaptation\nIn this talk we present a method for performing curved mesh adaptation during aerodynamic shape optimization with high-order computational fluid dynamics (CFD). High-order methods are promising because they offer increased accuracy for a given mesh. Mesh adaptation further improves the efficiency of high-order methods. These high-order methods require curved meshes to properly capture the simulated geometry and a mesh adaptation process that can generate curved meshes. Adapting these curved meshes needs to be robust as any failures will require human intervention inside the automated optimization loop. We first will present HOEP\, a novel and highly robust method for adapting highly-anisotropic curved meshes. Then we will present our adaptation strategy that balances computational cost with accuracy and show results for transonic airfoil optimization. \nAlexander Coppeans\, Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing\nAlexander Coppeans is a 5th year PhD Student in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing. His research focuses on high-order adaptive methods for CFD based aerodynamic shape optimization. \nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series - Panos Stinis: When big neural networks are not enough: physics\, multi-fidelity and kernels
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \nBio: Panos Stinis specializes in scientific computing with application interests in model reduction of complex systems\, multiscale modeling\, uncertainty quantification\, and machine learning. He studied aeronautical engineering at the Technical University of Athens\, Greece. He earned his PhD in applied mathematics in 2003\, from Columbia University in New York and began his career as a postdoctoral fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Stanford Center for Turbulence Research. In 2008\, he became a faculty member at the Mathematics Department at the University of Minnesota. He moved to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in 2014\, where he is currently leading the Computational Mathematics group. \nWhen big neural networks are not enough: physics\, multi-fidelity and kernels\nAbstract: Modern machine learning has shown remarkable promise in multiple applications. However\, brute force use of neural networks\, even when they have huge numbers of trainable parameters\, can fail to provide highly accurate predictions for problems in the physical sciences. We present a collection of ideas about how enforcing physics\, exploiting multi-fidelity knowledge\, and the kernel representation of neural networks can lead to a significant increase in efficiency and/or accuracy. Various examples are used to illustrate the ideas. \n

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Joshua Dolence\, Research Scientist\, Los Alamos National Lab
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Josh Dolence is a scientist in the Computational Physics & Methods Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a founding member of the LANL Michigan SPARC\, a permanent LANL presence at U-M in Ann Arbor. Before joining LANL\, he received a PhD in Astronomy from UIUC in 2011 and spent three years in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University where he worked in computational astrophysics\, studying topics like black hole accretion and supernovae. More recently\, he leads the Methods for Multiscale\, Multiphysics Accelerated Prediction project for LANL’s Advanced Simulation and Computing Program\, focusing efforts on enabling unprecedented fidelity and scale in modeling complex systems like high energy density physics experiments. \nParthenon: a flexible framework for rapid development of performance portable multiphysics codes\nAbstract: In many areas of computational science\, developing new\, state-of-the-art capabilities has become a high-cost\, risky proposition. The complexity and diversity of models\, methods\, algorithms\, and machines often lead to fundamental challenges in designing and building codes that enable advances in science and engineering. In fields like high energy density physics and astrophysics\, multiphysics simulations leveraging adaptive meshes\, particles\, and a variety of numerical methods are foundational to progress but difficult to realize performantly on ever-evolving high-performance computing platforms. In this talk\, I will present the Parthenon framework\, an open-source code base that aims to facilitate the development of highly adaptive\, multiphysics codes that are fast\, scalable\, and capable of leveraging modern platforms with both CPUs and GPUs. I will describe the basic principles behind its design and some of its most enabling features and highlight the ~10 downstream codes it already supports. \n

SUMMARY:MICDE-CSE Seminar: Andrew Appel\, Professor\, Princeton University
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Andrew Appel is Eugene Higgins Professor Computer Science\, and served from 2009-2015 as Chair of Princeton’s CS department. His research is in software verification\, computer security\, programming languages and compilers\, and technology policy. He received his A.B. summa cum laude in physics from Princeton in 1981\, and his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University in 1985. Professor Appel has been editor in chief of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems and is a fellow of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). He has worked on fast N-body algorithms (1980s)\, Standard ML of New Jersey (1990s)\, Foundational Proof-Carrying Code (2000s)\, and the Verified Software Toolchain (2010-present). \nFormally Verified Numerical Methods\nAbstract: Formal machine-checked program verification uses mechanized logical tools to connect low-level programs to the specifications of the algorithms they are supposed to implement. The same program verification tools can work in many application domains. But it’s not enough just to implement an algorithm; the program is fully “correct” only if the algorithm (provably) computes an answer to the problem or question of interest. Proofs of algorithm correctness rely on the mathematics of the application domains\, and each domain has its own mathematics.\nIn recent years we have applied this method to numerical methods (algorithms for scientific computing) and numerical analysis (reasoning about the accuracy of those methods)\, with machine-checked proofs formally connected to low-level program-correctness proofs. I will discuss the results of the numerical integration of differential equations and the solving of linear systems. Some of these results are joint work with Ariel Kellison and David Bindel (Cornell)\, Mohit Tekriwal and Jean-Baptiste Jeannin (Michigan).

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series - Anoushka Bhutani: Foundation Model for Molecular Design
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \nBio: Anoushka is a third-year PhD student in Prof. Venkat Viswanathan’s group at the University of Michigan. Her research interests include machine learning for materials design and electrochemical battery modeling. \nFoundation Model for Molecular Design\nAbstract: The paradigm of molecular machine learning for material screening has accelerated material development cycles\, improved efficiency\, and reduced costs. However\, current state-of-the-art molecular property prediction models still require labeled training data generated using wet-lab experiments or Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Their utility is limited by the scarcity and heterogeneity of labeled materials datasets. Foundation models (FMs) offer a solution to this: these models use self-supervised pre-training strategies to leverage unlabeled datasets and learn representations of data that can be applied to downstream tasks. Large unlabeled datasets of billions of synthesizable molecules are readily available. Prior attempts to train FMs for molecular property prediction demonstrate promise; however\, equivariant geometric models trained using supervised learning are still more accurate. This can be attributed to the fact that foundation models are extremely expensive to train and can be difficult to interpret; they require huge computing budgets\, complex distributed computing techniques\, and extensive hyperparameter searches. Our work addresses these challenges on three fronts: (1) we have prototyped a scalable workflow for distributed training of molecular foundation models (2) we have trained large foundation models using this workflow which demonstrates state-of-the-art molecular property prediction capabilities across several benchmarks\, and (3) we have applied model interpretability strategies such as the attention visualization to shed insight on molecular structure relationships learn by the transformer. \n

SUMMARY:MICDE-Aerospace Engineering Seminar: Jan Janssen\, Scientist\, Max Planck Institute
DESCRIPTION:Bio:\nDr. Jan Janssen is the group leader for materials informatics at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials in Düsseldorf\, Germany. Previously\, he was a Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, where he designed materials for fusion reactors as part of the Exascale Computing Project. In addition\, he leads the development of the open-source pyiron software package\, is a maintainer of over 900 open-source software packages for the conda-forge community and an active contributor to open-source projects on Github. \nTitle:\nHow to use machine learning in the discovery and design of materials for the future? \nAbstract:\nDesigning materials for a sustainable future requires rethinking traditional materials design\, which is centered on optimizing and fine-tuning already known alloying compositions. In a mathematical sense this can be identified as a local or global optimization in the multi-dimensional alloy phase space. To sample the whole periodic table\, already a three-component alloy with 20 temperature steps and 10 concentration steps requires a million experiments\, making it prohibitive for purely experimental approaches.\nTo address this challenge\, simulation approaches and\, more recently\, machine learning models are applied to screen the periodic table. The pyiron workflow framework developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for sustainable materials predicts new materials using ab-intio thermodynamics. Starting from the interaction of electrons\, it predicts macroscopic material properties like heat capacity\, thermal expansion\, and phase stability. Recently\, the pyiron workflow framework was extended with a large language model (LLM) interface named LangSim.\nThis raises the question: Can a LLM replace a scientist? Or how does the thought process of a scientist differ from the statistical approach of the LLM? Can the LLM make us better scientists? We benchmark the capabilities of current LLMs to design new materials using atomistic simulation. The presentation introduces ab-initio thermodynamics\, covers the importance of simulation workflows to efficiently predict sustainable materials and highlights how LLMs accelerate their discovery.

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series - Hongfan Chen: Global Geomagnetic Perturbation Forecasting with Quantified Uncertainty using Deep Gaussian Process
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \nBio: Hongfan Chen is a third-year PhD student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research interests include data assimilation\, uncertainty quantification\, and machine learning applications in space weather. \nGlobal Geomagnetic Perturbation Forecasting with Quantified Uncertainty Using Deep Gaussian Process\nAbstract: Accurately predicting the horizontal component of the ground magnetic field perturbation (dBH)\, as a proxy for Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs)\, is crucial for estimating the impact of geomagnetic storms and remains a topic under active investigation. The current state-of-the-practice Geospace model is computationally expensive for fine-grid global simulations while existing machine learning methods consistently tend to underestimate dBH. Additionally\, these models either lack uncertainty quantification (UQ) or provide UQ that lacks calibration. In this work\, as part of the NextGen SWMF project funded by NSF\, we develop a data-driven\, grid-free global model using deep Gaussian process (DGP)\, a Bayesian non-parametric approach that forecasts the dBH for the full surface of Earth with calibrated uncertainty. The model uses solar wind measurements and the Dst index as input\, and it is trained based on ground magnetometer station data provided by SuperMAG over the period 1995-2022. The model’s predictions are evaluated based on the Heidke skill score (HSS) for a total of 22 geomagnetic storms in 2015. We further test the model on the 2024 May 10-12 storm. The results demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art model\, with predictions exhibiting high accuracy in mid-latitudes and high-latitude regions in the northern hemisphere. \n

SUMMARY:Ph.D. in Scientific Computing Student Seminars: Vishal Subramanian / Heting Fu
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 request that all who plan to attend register in advance. \nIf you have any questions\, please email micde-phd@umich.edu. \n\nAccelerating Fock exact exchange calculations using Tucker Tensor techniques \nDensity Functional Theory (DFT) is widely used to predict the electronic structure and properties of a broad range of materials. Although exact in theory\, DFT simulations rely on exchange-correlation (Exc) functionals that are approximated in practice. The accuracy of DFT calculations is solely dependent on the accuracy of the Exc functionals. Hybrid exchange-correlation functionals are a class of functionals that have been shown to match experimental observations more closely compared to other Exc functionals. However\, the use of hybrid Exc functionals necessitates the computation of Fock exact exchange\, significantly increasing the computational cost. Furthermore\, the nature of Fock exact exchange demands a substantial increase in memory requirements and communication across processors. The latter is a serious issue as it affects the scalability of the code\, restricting routine simulations to a few tens of atoms. In this work\, we have developed a Tucker Tensor-based approach that significantly reduces the computational cost of Fock exact exchange calculations. We have incorporated an innovative communication pattern that reduces communication without significantly increasing peak memory usage. Consequently\, we have developed a robust\, efficient\, and scalable algorithm that achieves an order-of-magnitude speedup over the current state of the art. \nVishal Subramanian (Materials Science & Engineering and Scientific Computing) \nVishal Subramanian is a PhD candidate in the Materials Science and Engineering department. He is interested in harnessing the power of linear algebra and high-performance computing to develop robust\, and efficient algorithms that can compute material properties accurately. His work with Prof. Gavini’s group developing algorithms and scalable implementations for fast density functional theory (DFT) calculations on large-scale systems earned him the 2023 Gordon Bell Prize – the highest honor given in high-performance computing. \n\nTopology Optimization for Die Casting with Nonplanar Parting Surfaces \nThis talk presents a density-based topology optimization method for the simultaneous design of die-castable geometry\, die drawing directions\, and arbitrarily nonplanar parting surface. Viewing a die casted part as a two-component system consisting of the cavities of die halves\, an arbitrarily nonplanar parting surface is represented as the boundaries between adjacent partitioned domains similar to the joints in multi-component topology optimization (MTO). The draw direction of each die half is represented as a probability distribution to avoid premature convergence\, and the undercut of a part geometry in the draw direction is evaluated using the gradient of the density field. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the inclusion of nonplanar parting surfaces as optimization variables. \nHeting Fu (Mechanical Engineering and Scientific Computing) \nHeting Fu is a Ph.D. candidate under the guidance of Professor Kazuhiro Saitou in Mechanical Engineering. His research involves multi-component\, multi-material\, and multi-process topology optimization.

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series - Nicholas Galioto: Discovery of Cellular Reprogramming Methodology Through Single-cell Foundation Models
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \nBio: Nick Galioto is a second-year postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan (UM). He received his PhD at UM in aerospace engineering in 2023 under the advising of Alex Gorodetsky and remained in the lab for an additional year as a postdoc. In the Gorodetsky lab\, Nick researched how to use stochastic models of dynamical systems to improve system identification. Now\, Nick works in the Rajapakse lab researching how to create data-driven models of the dynamics of cell reprogramming. \n  \nDiscovery of Cellular Reprogramming Methodology Through Single-cell Foundation Models\n  \nAbstract: Cell reprogramming\, the transformation of a cell from one cell type to another through the introduction of exogenous transcription factors (TFs)\, is a rapidly developing research area that could lead to groundbreaking therapeutic technologies in areas such as tissue regeneration\, disease modeling\, and personalized medicine. However\, many challenges still exist that obstruct its practical viability. Discovering which TFs induce reprogramming requires a combinatorial search\, and testing a single candidate set of TFs experimentally can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take multiple months. Moreover\, even when an effective set of TFs is known\, cell conversion efficiency lies only around 5%. Faced with these challenges\, researchers have developed computational surrogate models to rapidly explore the TF search space at a fraction of the cost of wet lab experimentation. Unfortunately\, these models have seen limited success in practice due to the difficulty of capturing the complex gene-gene interactions within the cell\, most of which are still not well understood. With the recent high-profile rise of transformer-based foundation models for natural language\, researchers are now turning to the transformer to push past\, current performance limitations in a wide range of digital biology tasks\, including cell reprogramming. Of particular interest in these models is the attention mechanism\, which is potentially well-suited for capturing long-range gene-gene interactions at a higher fidelity than previously possible. In this talk\, I will describe how the transformer architecture has been adapted for cellular biology and analyze the utility of one such model\, Geneformer\, in identifying TFs for cell reprogramming. Specifically\, I will present the results of an in silico perturbation experiment for reprogramming fibroblast cells to hematopoietic stem cells and compare the outcomes to experimental results found in the literature. I will conclude the talk with a discussion of the drawbacks and limitations of the Geneformer model and provide an assessment of what will be needed in the future for digital biology to fully reap the benefits of large-scale foundation models.

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series: Domain decomposition and coupling data-driven models of fluid flows by Christopher Wentland\, Sandia National Labs
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link \n \nAbstract: Simulating complex physical systems often requires joining non-uniform subsystems\, which may be characterized by different geometries or mesh topologies. Coupling these separate subsystems often relies on time-intensive meshing workflows or empirical coupling models\, which may not generalize well across all operational regimes. The Schwarz alternating method proposes to overcome these issues\, establishing an effective domain decomposition framework that allows for the coupling of arbitrary geometries. This talk presents a brief history of Schwarz-based coupling work at Sandia National Laboratories\, along with recent work on combining the Schwarz alternating method with data-driven modeling approaches\, namely projection-based reduced order models (PROMs) and operator inference. This approach can generate surrogates that are capable of simulating advection-dominated fluid flows with higher accuracy and lower cost than comparable monolithic models\, aiding analysis in many-query applications such as uncertainty quantification and engineering design. Several nuances of the Schwarz algorithm and their impacts on model performance are explored\, specifically non-overlapping decompositions and PROM hyper-reduction under domain decomposition. A look into ongoing Schwarz coupling work at Sandia discusses existing challenges and efforts to apply this approach to relevant engineering problems.

SUMMARY:FSML Lecture Series: Tokenization for Chemistry by Alex Wadell\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Alex Wadell is a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering. \nTokenization for Chemistry\nMolecular Foundation Models are emerging as a powerful tool for molecular design\, material science\, and cheminformatics. By leveraging the transformer architecture\, these models attempt to learn the language of chemistry and discover robust molecular embeddings. However\, current models are constrained by tokenizers that fail to capture the full breadth of chemical space or even the periodic table of elements. In his talk\, Alex will introduce smirk\, a new tokenizer for molecular foundation models that can represent the entirety of the OpenSMILES specification. We’ll also discuss performance metrics for tokenizers and the results of Alex’s systematic evaluation of thirteen chemistry-specific tokenizers using N-gram language models as a low-cost proxy for transformer models. \nIf you are unable to attend in person but are interested\, please feel free to join virtually. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97823527756?pwd=H01BbvtuG5q02Wzb8LJvhUnvijlAIe.1\nMeeting ID: 978 2352 7756\nPasscode: 2024

SUMMARY:MICDE/ME Seminar: Krishnan Mahesh\, Professor\, University of Michigan NAME
DESCRIPTION:Bio:  Krishnan Mahesh is a Richard B. Couch Professor of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the simulation of complex\, multi-physics turbulent flows. Mahesh received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Mumbai)\, and in 1996 obtained his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. He is a 2018 Fulbright-Nehru Specialist\, a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, and a Fellow of the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. Mahesh is a recipient of the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation and the Francois N. Frenkiel Award from the American Physical Society. He has received the Taylor Award for Distinguished Research\, McKnight Presidential Fellowship\, Guillermo E. Borja Award\, and McKnight Land-Grant Professorship from the University of Minnesota. \nLarge Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Cavitating Flows\nCavitation is a complex multi-scale phenomenon that has implications from intense sound production to erosion in engineering applications. This talk will discuss our efforts at developing the large-eddy simulation capability for the simulation of turbulent cavitating flows. LES of cavitation is challenged by phase change modeling\, acoustic stiffness\, sharp multiphase fronts\, strong compressibility effects\, consistent accounting of nuclei\, broadband turbulence and subgrid effects. \nLES of partial cavitation will be discussed under the same conditions as experiments in a sharp wedge configuration.  Physical mechanisms of cavity transition observed in the experiments\, i.e.\, re-entrant jet and bubbly shock waves\, are both captured in the LES over their respective regimes. Vapor volume fraction data obtained from the LES will be quantitatively compared to X-ray densitometry\, and the results will be discussed. Cavitation nuclei are likely to be introduced through the free-stream as well as at solid surfaces. We will present a novel approach based on Gibbs free energy minimization to predict nuclei concentrations. The results from the proposed work will be applied to account for dissolved gas content in CSM measurements and predict several decades of experimentally observed trends in nuclei concentrations. Cavitating flows possess a range of vapor length scales ranging from tiny vapor bubbles to large vapor pockets. We will discuss a compressible hybrid model to capture both sub-grid vapor nuclei and massive sheet cavity dynamics. Finally\, physical aspects of inception due to the interaction of a counter–rotating vortex pair generated behind a pair of hydrofoils will be presented. \n\n  \nThe MICDE Fall 2025 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students. \nThis is an in-person event. \nGraduate Certificate in Computational Discovery and Engineering\, please use this form to record your attendance. \nQuestions?
