CEE Seminar – Generative AI for the statistical computation of fluids

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

In recent years, there has been growing interest in applying neural networks to the data-driven approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs). In this talk, we present GenCFD, a generative AI algorithm for fast, accurate, and robust statistical computation of three-dimensional turbulent fluid flows. On a set of challenging fluid flows, GenCFD provides an accurate approximation […]

CEE Seminar – Prediction and understanding of turbulent transport in realistic urban boundary layers

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

Motivated by the need to better understand and predict exchange processes between the land surface and the atmosphere and their impact on weather and climate, the past decades have seen substantial efforts devoted to studying atmospheric turbulence within and above natural and built environments. The current understanding of such a flow phenomenon is largely rooted […]

DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof Mariana Rossi

Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side B, room 1466

TITLE: The quantum properties of molecular interfaces Abstract: Weakly bonded interfaces composed by molecular and solid-state inorganic materials give rise to a rich variety of nuclear motion and tunable nuclear structure that is tightly connected to diverse electronic properties in these systems. In my talk, I will discuss how we push the limits of density-functional […]

CEE Seminar – The Plastic We Breathe

Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

Since the term "microscopic plastic" or "microplastics" first appeared in the scientific literature two decades ago, these tiny plastic particles have been detected in virtually every environmental compartment, as well as in various human and animal organs. The discovery of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) deposited in remote regions around the world and even in human […]
