PICS will host a virtual C++ workshop on Saturday, October 22 from 10:00am – 3:00pm. This one day workshop will teach students the basic skills needed to program in C++. We ask that anyone who attends has at least one year of prior programming experience in any language. This class will be capped at 30 […]
On Friday, November 4 at 2:00 PICS will present a colloquium featuring Dr. Nicolas Triantafyllidis, Professor Laboratoire de Mecanique des Solides & Departement de Mecanique, Ecole Polytechnique. Title: Group-Theoretic Approach for Nonlinear Problems in Mechanics with High Symmetry Avoids Use of Imperfections Abstract: Many interesting problems in nonlinear mechanics, from classical to more […]
On Saturday, November 12 starting at 10:00, PICS will host a workshop on CUDA. The NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit provides a development environment for creating high performance GPU-accelerated applications. With the CUDA Toolkit, you can develop, optimize, and deploy your applications on GPU-accelerated embedded systems, desktop workstations, enterprise data centers, cloud-based platforms and HPC supercomputers. The […]
On Friday, December 9 PICS will present a colloquium featuring Dr. Matthias Heyden, Assistant Professor at the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University. Title: From Molecular Vibrations to Solvation, Protein Dynamics and Models of the Cytoplasm Abstract: Vibrational spectroscopies at mid-infrared frequencies provide excellent probes to characterize functional groups and their […]
Title A Low Rank Tensor Approach for Nonlinear Vlasov Simulations Abstract In this work, we present a low-rank tensor approach for approximating solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov equation. Our method takes advantage of the tensor-friendly nature of the differential operators in the Vlasov equation to dynamically and adaptively construct a low-rank solution sis bathrough the […]
Email jnespos@seas.upenn.edu for the Zoom link. Title Computational fluid dynamics for slurry rheology in flow battery and underlying drag-reduction mechanisms in turbulent flow control Abstract This talk will start by introducing diverse fluid-mechanics research conducted in the Park research group, including complex fluids, electrokinetics, biofluids, transition-to-turbulence, and turbulent flow. I will then focus on two […]
In this workshop we will give an introduction to Rust code syntax and semantics. We will show how language features from familiar languages like Python and C++ transfer over, while also introducing concepts not found in many mainstream languages; these include Rust‘s ownership model, traits, and lifetimes. The first half of the workshop will cover […]
Abstract Anomaly detection is a crucial task in the operation of complex systems such as industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and large-scale science experiments. Failures in a sub-system can result in low yield, faulty products, or damage to components, making it essential to detect anomalies as quickly as possible. Despite the abundance of data available for […]
Speaker: Nicole Riemer, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Title: Bridging scales in aerosol modeling with particle-resolved simulations Abstract: The aerosol lifecycle consists of processes that act on the micro-scale, yet the aerosols’ climate impacts are perceived on regional or global scales. Capturing this multiscale nature of the atmospheric aerosol […]
Abstract Preterm birth affects approximately ten percent of pregnancies and rates of maternal mortality in the US are rising. Computational investigations of pregnancy have great potential to explore fundamental aspects of reproductive physiology that are otherwise difficult or even impossible to investigate in humans. There are few-to-no good animal models of human pregnancy, and the […]
