MEAM Seminar: “Fluid Mechanics and Turbulence in Extended Wind Farms”
In this presentation we discuss several properties of the flow structure and turbulence in the wind turbine array boundary layer (WTABL). This particular type of shear flow develops when the atmospheric boundary layer interacts with an array of large wind turbines. Based on such understanding, we aim to develop reduced order, analytically tractable models. These […]
CIS Seminar: “Visualization for People + Systems”
Abstract: While computers can help us manage data, human judgment and domain expertise is what turns it into understanding. Meeting the challenges of increasingly large and complex data requires methods that richly integrate the capabilities of both people and machines. In response to these challenges, my research combines methods from visualization, data management, human-computer interaction, […]

CIS Seminar: “Deep Learning Models for Language: What they learn, where they fail, and how to make them more robust”
Abstract: Deep learning has become pervasive in everyday life, powering language applications like Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Translate. The inherent limitation of these deep learning systems, however, is that they often function as a “black box,” preventing researchers and users from discerning the roles of different components and what they learn during the […]

February 15, 2019 -CIS Seminar:” Physical Scene Understanding”
ESE seminar: “Engineering the Quantum Vacuum”
The vacuum of space may seem empty and boring; however, this void is actually teeming with activity. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, fluctuations of electromagnetic fields are omnipresent even in empty space. These fluctuations can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, including the generation of nanoscale forces between objects—a phenomenon known as […]
CIS Seminar:” Physical Scene Understanding”
Abstract: Human intelligence is beyond pattern recognition. From a single image, we're able to explain what we see, reconstruct them in 3D, predict what's going to happen, and plan our actions. In this talk, I will present our recent work on physical scene understanding---reverse-engineering these capacities to make machines that are versatile, data-efficient, and have […]
