This workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. The workshop will be done online via BlueJeans. We will run […]
This workshop will provide a gentle introduction to GIS concepts and implementation in QGIS. We will cover introductory GIS concepts and will explore the functionalities of QGIS for manipulating and analyzing vector GIS data. The workshop will be especially useful for participants with little or no exposure to GIS. Participants will also learn to generate production quality maps. No […]

This workshop will introduce participants to using R for presenting data-driven results, with an eye toward reproducible methods. After an introduction to concepts related to reproducible programming and research, demonstrations of standard R markdown as well as overviews of different formats will be provided, including exercises. Prereq: Some basic experience using R is required. Link: http://m-clark.github.io/data-processing-and-visualization/
A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. 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 […]
This workshop will be held over two days (July 21 & July 28). A link will be sent to all registered participants, registration is required. Recent collapse of several bridges, such as the I-35 truss bridge in Minneapolis in 2007, Ponte Morandi cable stayed bridge in Genoa, Italy, in 2018, Florida International University Pedestrian Bridge […]
In many situations, we observe a process over a limited number of locations and are interested in estimating its values at nearby unsampled locations. Geostatistical methods provide a powerful tool to do this. In this session, we will build upon the material and intuitions covered in the first workshop. We will focus on the principles, […]
