Joseph Bordogna Forum: 2026 Lecture
Engineering Leadership in a World of Accelerating Change Engineering bridges science and technology, driving innovation for the benefit of people and society. Today we live in an increasingly technology-dependent world shaped by engineers — and the pace of change is increasing exponentially. This calls for a reexamination of how we educate and empower engineers to […]

Spring 2026 GRASP on Robotics: Roni Sengupta, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, “From Pixels to Physics: Understanding and Manipulating Physics from Images”
This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. ABSTRACT A hallmark of human vision is the ability to reason about the physics of the world: we can infer the shape of the object, how light reflects off the object, and how the object deforms under force. Yet today’s AI systems still lack […]
PICS Colloquium: “Stochastic Reaction-Diffusion-Dynamics Modeling of whole systems: application to fibrin clot contraction and fibrin clot rupture” with Valeri Barsegov
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 reaction-diffusion master equation to account for chemical reactions and molecular transport within the Langevin Dynamics (LD) framework to describe force-dependent dynamic processes at the whole […]
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 to identify low-dimensional coordinate systems that balance adjoint-based sensitivity information with state variance along trajectories. Our method, analogous to balanced truncation, replaces system Gramians with […]
