Many of the variational models of image processing and computer vision involve optimizing an energy over interfaces. An important example is image segmentation, where the goal is to partition the image domain into regions containing distinct objects. Typically, the models include a geometric penalty term, such as perimeter or Euler's elastica en...

Continuing the first lecture, we will introduce advanced features thatimprove the performance of algorithms for solving the Benders-baseddecomposition. Aggregating scenarios and regularization approacheswill be a primary focus. We will also introduce a different 'dual'decomposition technique that can be effective for solving two-stagestochastic ...

Mechanical durability testing in the automotive, aerospace and other industries presents great challenges. Current techniques typically require iterations to process the data acquired in the field so that it can be accurately simulated in the test lab. This talk will describe the state of the art for durability testing, present real-world exampl...

To improve materials design, it is important to understand the influence ofmicrostructure on the physical properties of a material. Very often, it is the nucleation process that dictates the microstructure. We present some recentjoint works with colleagues at Penn State on the computational studies of criticalnuclei morphology, growth and coarse...

Typically, forces between dipolar particles are calculated using dipole-based models such as the dipolar model (DM). These models allow for simple force calculations between paramagnetic spheres in an external magnetic field, but are typically inaccurate for systems where particles are in close proximity due to multipolar effects. Additionally, ...

The enormous growth of biological sequence data has caused bioinformatics to be rapidly moving towards a data-intensive, computational science. As a result, the computational power needed by bioinformatics applications is growing rapidly as well. The recent emergence of parallel accelerator technologies such as GPUs has made it possible to signi...
Density Functional Theory is one of the most successful approaches for computing the electronic structure of materials and is currently used to study thousand-atom systems today. The goals of this tutorial are two-fold. First, I will present the basic equations and ideas behind the solution of the many-body electronic Schrodinger equation throug...

Fitting a model to a collection of observations is one of the quintessential questions in statistics. The standard assumption is that the data was generated by a model of a given type (e.g., a mixture model). This simplifying assumption is at best only approximately valid, as real datasets are typically exposed to some source of contamination. H...

In addition to my research into vortex particle methods, parallel N-body methods, and GPU programming, I create artwork using these same computer programs. The work consists of imagery and animations of fluid forms and other shapes and patterns in nature. Using relatively simple algorithms reflecting the origins of their underlying processes, ma...

The M-ellipsoid of a convex body K is a fundamental object introduced by V. Milman. It has the same volume as K and can cover K with the union a small number of translations. There are several proofs of the existence of an M-ellipsoid. We present algorithms for constructing M-ellipsoids based on two of these proofs. The first is randomized and i...

We discuss a number of open questions and results concerning(from a combinatorialist's point of view) higher-dimensional analogues of graph planarity and crossing numbers, i.e., embeddings of finite simplicial complexes (compact polyhedra) into Euclidean space.While embeddings are a classical topic in geometric topology, herewe focus rather on a...

Abstract: An area of interest in statistical mechanics is the study ofstatistical distributions of stochastic currents generated in graphs.It turns out that this problem amounts to the study of periodic familiesof Markov processes that evolve according to the 'master equation.' Physicists have observed that, for almost every generated current, q...
