Dear all, Guang Lin<https://www.math.purdue.edu/~lin491/>, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics and School of Mechanical Engineering and Director, Data Science Consulting Service will present this week’s faculty seminar series, Thursday, 2/13 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Uncertainty Quantification and Scientific Machine Learning for Complex Engineering Systems Abstract: Experience suggests that uncertainties often play an important role in quantifying the performance of complex systems. Therefore, uncertainty needs to be treated as a core element in the modeling, simulation, and optimization of complex systems. In this talk, I will first present a review of the novel UQ techniques I developed to conduct stochastic simulations for very large-scale complex systems. First, I will present how to employ deep neural network to build a Processing-Microstructure-Mechanical Properties Relationship. In particular, we will use a fibre-reinforced polymer composite material as an example on predicting stress field based on material’s microstructure and loading condition. In addition, a robust data-driven discovery of physical laws with confidence will be introduced. Discovering governing physical laws from noisy data is a grand challenge in many science and engineering research areas. I will present a new Bayesian approach to data-driven discovery of ODEs and PDEs. The new approach will be demonstrated through a wide range of problems, including Navier–Stokes equations. In addition, solving PDEs and predicting material fracture in a fundamentally different way will be discussed. I will present a new paradigm in solving linear and nonlinear PDEs on varied domains without the use of the classical numerical discretization. Instead, we infer the solution of PDEs using a convolutional neural network with quantified uncertainty. The proposed neural network can predict the solution and its uncertainty simultaneously on-the-fly. Finally, I will introduce a new convolutional neural network named Peri-Net we developed to predict and analyze fracture patterns on a disk in real time. I will present and validate the results using the molecular dynamic collision simulations. Bio: GUANG LIN received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in applied mathematics from Brown University.

Reminder, Allen Garner<https://sites.google.com/site/garnerresearchgroup/>, Associate Professor in the School of Nuclear Engineering will present this week’s faculty seminar series TODAY, Thursday, 2/6 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001. The first half will be an overview of research and the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Bioelectrics and Electrophysics: Studies of Intense Electromagnetic Radiation from Source to Interaction Intense electromagnetic radiation is of growing interest in defense and civilian applications. Directed energy is currently one of the top priorities for the Chief of Naval Operations with both the Air Force and Navy making progress on deploying both laser and high power microwave systems. The deployment of these systems raises questions concerning both inadvertent biological exposure and the potential utility for nonlethal defense. On the civilian side, intense electromagnetic radiation may induce membrane poration, which can inactivate microorganisms, treat cancer, and deliver molecules to cells that can normally not penetrate the targeted cells This talk will outline my research group’s research in these areas. One group of research projects involves first principles theoretical studies of electron emission and gas breakdown from nanoscale to classical length scales and from vacuum to atmospheric pressure. These studies have critical implications in microelectronics reliability and for generating plasmas for applications from environmental remediation to material deposition. We are also investigating novel dielectric and magnetic materials to construct tunable nonlinear transmission lines to create electromagnetic shockwaves to produce high power microwave pulses. Additionally, we are pursuing multiple biomedical applications of intense electric pulses. We are collaborating with Nanovis to apply electric pulses with various drugs to enhance inactivation of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. We have also used electric pulses to stimulate stem cell proliferation, even inducing nodule formation in osteoblasts, which is the first step for bone development. An ongoing collaboration with GE Global Research has examined the mechanisms of electric pulse induced platelet activation for wound healing by treating a patient’s own blood to induce the release of growth factors that promote clotting and healing. Finally, future growth areas of the research group will be discussed. Please find below the BNC Spring Faculty Seminar Series schedule.
