ABSTRACT I present results from investigations of microstructural effects on failure of ductile polycrystalline metals. A subset of the computational models make use of a crystal-mechanics-based...
Since Richard Feynman’s suggestion in 1982 that computers built from quantum building blocks could be more powerful, there has been much research in models of quantum computing, implementations and...
Abstract: This talk is about robotic manipulation of deformable objects, such as flexible cables and thin surfaces. An elastic rod is a canonical example of such an object. In this talk, I’ll prove...
Abstract: Ultrafast lasers have opened a new realm of opportunities for material processing, particularly within transparent dielectric materials, that have had broad impact across many fields...
Abstract: The solution of large symmetric eigenvalue problems is central to applications ranging from electronic structure calculations to the study of vibrations in mechanical systems. A few of these...
Abstract: We present in this talk the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach to deal with nonlinear terms in a large class of gradient flows. The technique is not restricted to specific forms of the...
Abstract: The convex conjugate of a function is a fundamental dual construction in convex optimization. This talk will discuss a novel convex conjugate approach to analyze some of the most popular...
Abstract: General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible condition comprised of five behavioral states: unconsciousness, amnesia (loss of memory), antinociception (loss of pain sensation), akinesia...
BBQ food to celebrate the end of the semester. This event is funded by the GPSAFC and is open to the Cornell Graduate Community
Abstract: The Grassmann manifold Gr(m,n) is the set of n-dimensional subspaces in R^m (assuming m>n), and is used in many science and engineering applications. A point in Gr(m,n) can be represented by...
