Knowledge of uncertainties is a key requirement for the acceptance of molecular simulation as part of an engineering toolkit. One of the main sources of uncertainty in a molecular simulation is the force field (interatomic potential) used to model the material. We will discuss our efforts to provide researchers with useful information to help th...

In the aerospace composites industry, bringing new, high-performance materials to the market is critical to the maintaining an edge over competitors. However, materials development is a painfully slow process, and it can take upwards of 20 years before the discovery of a material and its first appearance in commercial grade applications. In rece...

Many issues in uncertainty quantification, as they emerge from the perspective of large scale scientific computations of increasing complexity, involve dealing with stochastic versions of the basic equations modeling thephenomena of interest. A common reaction is to generate samples of solutionsby choosing parameters randomly and computing solut...

Radiation pressure of electromagnetic fields have been widely used in nanomanipulation and tunable optics, but the interplay between the gradient force and the scattering force results in limited working range. Here we show that the complete suppression of backscattering in photonic topological materials provides new ways of controlling optical ...

In monolayer TMDs (MX2), quasiparticle (or carrier) scattering by nonmagnetic disorder is highly sensitive to the spin-valley coupling which suppresses intervalley scattering when the spin-orbit splitting of the bands in the K,K' valleys is large. Here, we report on an additional symmetry-induced selection rule which relies on a three-fold rotat...

Ability of bacterial cells to respond to environmental stress with large-scale changes in gene expression are central to pathogen infections, food spoilage and many other public health concerns. To control the responses, cells use their gene circuits €“ regulatory networks of sensors, signaling proteins, and transcription factors €“ to interpret...

Human physiology is a complex system composed of many interacting negative feedback loops involving hormones, nerves, transporters, physical anatomy and other factors. Redundancy in physiology complicates accurate prediction of a patient’s response. For any given medical therapy or intervention, 10-90% of potential patients are resistant, achi...

This talk will provide a short overview of our work with operators of smart transportation systems (bike-share systems and an on-demand public transport provider). In each of these engagements, we use large-scale system-use data to estimate commuter responses to aspects of the system’s operational performance. For example, we use data from a b...

Feedback loops and other control structures are endemic in biochemical pathways. In the majority of cases we have little understanding of how they contribute to the fitness of an organism. For example, glycolysis which is arguably the most understood biochemical pathway, has over ten regulatory loops that modulate its behavior. In general the ex...

Microorganisms such as bacteria and spermatozoa move in a world where viscous forces completely dominate inertial forces, and the time evolution of their motion may be thought of as a sequence of steady state snapshots. In this world, what motility strategies give rise to efficient locomotion? The study of the fluid dynamics of microorganism mot...
