Newbies and Vets Game Jam 2021Fri, Nov 05, 2021
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Student Activity
Never made a game in your life but want to? Or maybe you're a seasoned game developer itching for some fun? MEGA's annual Newbies and Vets Game Jam is BACK for 2021! Join us Nov 5-7 for a fun weekend where you'll get together in teams and make a game from scratch. We especially welcome newbies with little to no game development experience! Opening ceremony is 5PM on Friday, Nov 5.
What is a game jam? A game jam is a quick, bite-sized experience over a weekend where you create a game with a team based off a theme! There will be fun, lots of learning opportunities, and you get a wonderful game at the end that you've contributed to. This is a great opportunity to kickstart your game developer journey, make new friends and have a memorable experience.
We will be releasing more details about this event later on but for now registrations are open HERE: https://bit.ly/NVJam2021
Please register by November 3rd, 12pm.
Location: SCI Building
Audiences: Undergraduate and Graduate
Contact: Makers of Entertaining Games Association (MEGA)

Talk Title: A Digital Apprentice for Machining Chatter Detection: Application of Learning from Human Demonstration
Abstract: Regenerative chatter in machining operations such as milling is a common process anomaly that limits productivity and part quality. Traditional approaches for addressing this anomaly include chatter avoidance methods based on off-line dynamic stability analysis, and on-line chatter detection and suppression through real-time sensing and control. Chatter avoidance methods require specialized knowledge and skills for dynamic system identification and suffer from uncertainty in the stability boundary identification. On-line chatter detection methods tend to suffer from a high number of false positives and cannot always reliably detect chatter before part/machine damage occurs. Consequently, manufacturers often rely on the auditory and cognitive abilities of experienced human operators to monitor and control the machining process. This talk will present recent work that is inspired by learning from human demonstration frameworks to enable effective milling chatter detection via human-machine interaction, which facilitates knowledge transfer from an experienced operator to a Digital Apprentice consisting of an audio sensor, a learnable skill primitive for chatter detection, and a human-machine interface. Experimental results evaluating the effectiveness of this approach for chatter detection will be presented and discussed.
Biography: Dr. Shreyes N. Melkote holds the Morris M. Bryan Professorship in Advanced Manufacturing Systems in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech. He serves as Associate Director of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute and as Executive Director of the Novelis Innovation Hub at Georgia Tech. Dr. Melkotes current research interests are in robotic manufacturing, science of precision material removal processes, novel surface enhancement methods, and data-driven methods for cyber manufacturing. His research in these areas is actively supported by industry and government sponsors. He is a Fellow of the ASME, SME, and CIRP.

Density Functional Theory Methods Using Quantum Espresso [series] Posted By: Center for Advanced Research Computing
Fri, Nov 05, 2021 @ 04:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Information Technology Program (ITP)
Workshops & Infosessions
This weekly workshop series will benefit researchers who are interested in or are starting to learn about the application of theoretical methods and techniques for the study of the physics and chemistry of the solid state. These hands-on oriented workshops are targeted towards undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students who wish to use Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods in their research. The aim is to teach the basics of ab initio atomistic materials simulation using the Quantum Espresso suite of codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale. Fridays from 4-6 PM PST. Register here!
