PICS Colloquium: “Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion-Dynamics Modeling of whole systems: application to fibrin clot contraction and fibrin clot rupture” with Valeri Barsegov
/
PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor
3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States
Abstract: Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion-Dynamics Model (SRDDM) for particle-based simulations of mechanochemical processes for thermodynamically large systems with high spatial and temporal resolution will be presented. The SRDDM couples the spatially inhomogeneous […]
PICS Colloquium: “Learning parsimonious models by covariance balancing” with Clarence Rowley
/
Abstract: Data-driven reduced-order models often struggle with high-dimensional nonlinear systems sensitive to low-variance coordinates, which are typically truncated. To address this, we use ideas from balanced truncation and active subspaces […]
