Due to popular demand and high response, additional sessions have been added for the Hands-on training on data science & machine learning @ nanoHUB. Can you please forward the following note to your departments (faculty, postdocs, grads) on behalf of Prof. Alejandro Strachan, Materials Engineering, Deputy Director, nanoHUB, Last week nanoHUB launched a series of open, hands-on tutorials and office hours to jumpstart the use of data science and machine learning in research and teaching. All sessions reached capacity within a few hours and many of you were unable to sign up. To accommodate the high demand, we added new sessions and registration is now open: https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining Topics to be covered: Session 1: Intro to Jupyter in nanoHUB, Pandas for data organization and plotting Session 2: Repositories and data management Session 3: Supervised learning part 1: linear regression and neural networks Session 4: Supervised learning part 2: classification and random forests Session 5: Unsupervised learning: dimensionality reduction via matrix decomposition Session 6: Sequential learning and design of experiments We hope that you can attend this workshop and walk away with enough information and practical skills to kickstart your foray into machine learning methods for your research or classroom use. Best regards, Prof. Ale Strachan, Materials Engineering, Purdue University Deputy Director, nanoHUB. http://nanohub.org/

Forwarded on behalf of Prof. Alejandro Strachan, Materials Engineering, Deputy Director, nanoHUB ________________________________ Dear Colleagues, I hope you are all staying well during these unchartered times. Many of you may be experiencing restricted access to labs during the COVID-19 crisis. We at nanoHUB would like to offer our resources to help you stay productive and develop new skills, especially if you are looking to enhance your research with machine learning and data science. We have put together a series of open, hands-on tutorials and office hours that will jumpstart your use of data science and machine learning in research or teaching. Our series is aimed at active researchers and educators and no prior coding experience is required. In addition, all exercises will use nanoHUB cloud computing resources, no need to download or install any software. All you need is an internet connection and a browser. After the training sessions, you will be able to continue using nanoHUB for your research or class. Importantly, we are allotting half the time in each session to Q/A, aiming to provide one-on-one guidance to solve your specific problems. The workshop is organized in 6 sessions, listed below. You can find more information and sign up links at https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining Session 1: Intro to Jupyter in nanoHUB, Pandas for data organization and plotting Date/Time: Wednesday, 8th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT Session 2: Repositories and data management Date/Time: Friday, 10th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT Session 3: Supervised learning part 1: linear regression and neural networks Date/Time: Monday, 13th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT Session 4: Supervised learning part 2: classification and random forests Date/Time: Wednesday, 15th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT Session 5: Unsupervised learning: dimensionality reduction via matrix decomposition Date/Time: Friday, 17th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT Session 6: Sequential learning and design of experiments Date/Time: Monday, 20th April 2020 / 11 AM – 12 PM EDT We hope that you can attend this workshop and walk away with enough information and practical skills to kickstart your foray into machine learning methods for your research or classroom use.

BNC Faculty Seminar Series

Sent on behalf of Peter Bermel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you're doing as well as possible at this challenging time. With the growth in public health risks over the last few weeks caused by COVID-19, resulting in Purdue's closure of most research activities on campus, it's become abundantly clear we should not gather in person right now for an event such as the Birck faculty seminar for the rest of the semester. As a result, I've contacted all the faculty scheduled to present in April, and they've all graciously agreed to work with us to reschedule their presentations for the Fall. If advisable, Jaime and I will put together a Fall schedule starting in July, and should send you another update by the first week of classes. Hope you all can stay healthy and safe. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Best Regards, Peter
