FW: nanoHUB Hands-on Machine Learning Workshop
by Black, Nancy Lee 15 Nov '21

15 Nov '21

nanoHUB is excited to announce that a new workshop has been scheduled in the Fall 2021 session of our Hands-on Data Science and Machine Learning Training Series. Series information: Our series is aimed at active researchers and educators and designed to introduce practical skills with online, hands-on activities that participants will be able to incorporate in their own work. Hands-on activities will use nanoHUB cloud computing resources, negating the need to download or install any software. All that is required of the audience is an internet connection and an hour to spare for the demonstration. After the training sessions, you will be able to continue using nanoHUB for research or education. Recordings and associated materials from prior workshops can be found at the workshop webpage: https://nanohub.org/groups/ml/handsontraining<https://click.mail.nanohub.org/?qs=fa5d19fdba110be3328ac7c0e6aa1c23ed02fcba…> Register soon as seats are limited. Date/Time: Wednesday, November 17, 2021 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST Title: Integrating Machine Learning with a Genetic Algorithm for Materials Exploration Presenter: Joe D. Kern, Georgia Institute of Technology, Ramprasad Group Register for this workshop here<https://click.mail.nanohub.org/?qs=fa5d19fdba110be31df082c3e47a7f7022739f4c…> Abstract: The genetic algorithm is a computer algorithm inspired by nature: selecting parents of a generation via some fitness function, crossing-over the parent genes (reproduction), and randomly mutating the genes of the children. In this talk, we will explore how this algorithm can be used for materials discovery by: 1. Generating swift material property prediction using machine learning (ML) 2. Creating an algorithm to design new materials from combinations of prior ones 3. Integrating the ML property predictors with the design algorithm to discover new materials PolyGA, an implementation of the genetic algorithm for the polymer domain, will be used as the basis for this exploration. Bio: Joe D Kern is a Materials Science and Engineering graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology in the Ramprasad Group. Prior to graduate school, he dual majored in Materials Science and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and spent six years in the Minnesota National Guard as an Arabic Linguist. His research involves utilizing computational techniques, such as genetic algorithms and machine learning, to expedite materials discovery in the polymer chemical space.

NSAC Coffee Hour Story Telling Special Event - Friday 2 pm @ Birck First Floor Atrium
by Nanotechnology Student Advisory Council 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hi fellow researchers! Please join us at NSAC Coffee Hour this Friday 2-2:30pm in the BRK atrium! This special event will be another installment of Science Storytelling. Our guest speaker is Kayla Young, Ph.D. candidate in Political Science, who will describe how transformative metaphors are an essential element in telling our data story. We will also get a chance to test drive the ideas: last week’s attendees were asked to come up with a metaphor the applies to their research, and we will give them a chance to try these out this week in a 5 minute “elevator pitch” which can be just orally presented or aided by 1-2 slides. We will provide snacks and coffee that are individually packed. We look forward to meeting you! Warmest regards, NSAC

Dear QSC Students, Postdocs, and Affiliates, We continue our Meet a QIST Expert Seminar Series next Tuesday (Nov. 9th) at 1pm EST with Professor Ido Kaminer, a faculty member and the group leader for the AdQuanta group at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Professor Kaminer's lab focuses on non-linear quantum optics, light-matter interactions, and ultrafast optics, and his group built the first 4D electron microscope in Israel. Ido joined Technion in 2018, where he is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and the Jacques Lewiner Career Advancement Chair. Before joining Technion as a faculty member, he obtained his Ph.D. in Physics in 2014 at Technion under Distinguished Professor Mordechai Segev. After his time at Technion, Ido joined MIT's Physics Department as a Marie Curie Fellow, Rothschild Fellow, and the Technion-MIT Fellow. Professor Kaminer has received numerous early career awards, including the Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists in Israel and his election to the Israeli Young Academy. In his talk, Ido will share a brief technical overview of his work in quantum optics. After his talk, he will continue the technical discussion and delve into his career experience through a fireside chat with Blake Wilson (Ph.D. student in QSC). We are looking forward to you joining our seminar with Professor Kaminer. Feel free to share this announcement with your friends and colleagues.
