May 8 | Seminar – Dr. Alessandro Lucantonio: Physics-Based Model Discovery with Symbolic Regression
In this structural matter seminar, Dr. Alessandro Lucantonio presents his research on advancing symbolic regression for model discovery, with a focus on developing new algorithms to uncover interpretable and accurate models for complex physical systems. Key areas of exploration include reduced-order modeling for fluid mechanics, robotic control, and fracture mechanics.
May 9 | Seminar: Dr. Tonio Buonassisi – Fast-Tracking Sustainability: Accelerating Innovation with Computation and Automation
In this CERC Seminar, Prof. Tonio Buonassisi (MIT) explores effort to accelerate research development through the lens of sustainability. While the promise of accelerated discovery is attracting growing interest and investment, realizing meaningful progress demands a strategic, long-term perspective — one that integrates infrastructure, research, and education in a coordinated way. This seminar is hosted […]
May 9 | Seminar: Dr. Tim Sipkens – Bidimensional distributions: enabling the next generation of aerosol characterization
As many real-world aerosols present measurements challenges due to their complex morphology and composition, new insights can be gained through characterizing aerosol particles by more than one dimension. This seminar discusses these bidimensional distributions, the mathematical operations required to realize them, and the discoveries that these distributions can unlock.
May 15 | Dr. Shantanu Jathar – Studying the Emissions and Chemistry of Fire Aerosols: From Pyrolysis to Photochemical Reactors and Pile Burns to Plumes
Fires — including wildland, prescribed, agricultural, and increasingly, wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires — are significant sources of aerosols (fine particles) and its precursors to the atmosphere. Distinguished Colloquium speaker Dr. Shantanu Jathar (CSU) explores fire aerosols and their atmospheric evolution across different spatial and temporal scales. He shares work from laboratory, field, and modeling studies […]
