"Can a cell learn?" Ever since the genetic code was deciphered, we have increasingly come to view cellular control through the lens of genetic determinism. In this paradigm, a cell's […]
ABSTRACT: "Trustworthy Machine Learning" has become a buzz-word in recent years. But what exactly are the semantics of the promise that we are supposed to trust? In this talk we will make a proposal, through the lens […]
Accurate prediction of high-Reynolds-number wall-bounded turbulent flows is essential for the understanding and flow control of many engineering applications such as aircraft, turbomachinery, and marine vehicles. Additionally, most practical flows […]
As autonomous systems become more prevalent, ensuring their safety will become more and more important. However, deriving guarantees for these systems is becoming increasingly difficult due to the use of […]
: Generative priors are effective countermeasures to combat the curse of dimensionality, and enable efficient learning and inversion that otherwise are ill-posed, in data science. This talk begins with the […]
This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Levine 307 and virtual attendance on Zoom. This week's speaker will be virtual. Seminar attendees are also invited to a […]
Abstract Roughness and wetness can disrupt interfacial bonding and reduce adhesion, and this phenomenon is of relevance for many biological and engineering applications. I will discuss how roughness affects both […]
Air conditioning accounts for nearly 20% of the total electricity used in buildings globally and cooling energy demand is predicted to significantly increase over the next decades due to urbanization, […]
Many natural materials achieve excellent combinations of mechanical properties through their micro- and nano-scale structures, which leverage a level of complexity currently unmatched in engineering design. Recent advances in digital […]
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance on Zoom. ABSTRACT This talk introduces dynamic game theory as a natural modeling tool for […]
