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?

SUMMARY:Data Science/Computational Social Science/MICDE Seminar: Yian Ma\, Assistant Professor\, UC San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Bio:  Yian Ma is an assistant professor at the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute\, UC San Diego\, where he serves as the vice chair for the graduate programs. Prior to UCSD\, he spent a year as a visiting faculty at Google Research. Before that\, he was a post-doctoral fellow at UC Berkeley\, hosted by Mike Jordan. Yian completed his Ph.D. at the University of Washington. His current research primarily revolves around scalable inference methods for credible machine learning\, with application to time series data and sequential decision-making tasks. He has received the Facebook research award\, the Stein fellowship\, and the best paper awards at the Neurips and ICML workshops. \nMCMC\, variational inference\, and reverse diffusion Monte Carlo\nProf. Ma will introduce some recent progress toward understanding the scalability of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and their comparative advantage with respect to variational inference. I will fact-check the folklore that “variational inference is fast but biased\, MCMC is unbiased but slow”. I will then discuss a combination of the two via reverse diffusion\, which holds promise of solving some of the multi-modal problems. This talk will be motivated by the need for Bayesian computation in reinforcement learning problems and the differential privacy requirements we face. \nRSVP HERE \n\n  \nThe MICDE Winter 2025 Seminar Series is open to all.
