Solving inverse problems for nonlinear simulation models with nonlinear objective is usually a global optimization problem. This talk will present an overview of the development of algorithms that employ response surfaces as a surrogate for an expensive simulation model to significantly reduce the computational effort required to solve continuou...

This talk discusses the inference of physical parameters using model surrogates.Attention is focused on the use of adaptive sampling schemes to buildsuitable representations of the dependence of the model response on uncertain inputdata. A Bayesian inference formalism is then applied to update the uncertain inputsbased on available measurements ...

The talk will discuss two recent developments in my group. 1) I will discuss a universal property of evanescent electromagnetic waves which is analogous to the property of spin-momentum locking of electrons on the surface of topological insulators. This phenomenon arises from causality requirements on EM waves and is described by a new electroma...

Minnesota Issues was a half-hour weekly television program produced by University Media Resources of the University of Minnesota that was broadcast on public television channel KTCA, St. Paul. The program was produced and hosted by former Minneapolis mayor and University public affairs professor Arthur Naftalin from 1976 to 1988.
