  • Traits for Success in Professional Services Careers hosted by Grant Thornton and VCC

    Tue, Sep 14, 2021 @ 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM

    Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections

    Workshops & Infosessions


    This Event is Virtual, hosted by Grant Thornton and Viterbi Career Connections!

    Join this event to learn more about some of the traits that make a successful employee in a professional services career! Our professionals will share examples from their client interactions and provide insights that they've learned during their careers. There will be time at the end of the session for networking with Grant Thornton professionals, where you're encouraged to ask questions to learn about the work that their teams do.

    Is this event specific to USC Viterbi School of engineering, or multi-university event?

    Students majoring in any area of engineering who are interested in careers in professional services are welcome to attend, but the Viterbi Information Technology Program is best aligned with the skillset that our advisory professionals look for.

    What majors and class levels are you interested in connecting with?

    We're looking for students entering their second to last year of school for internship opportunities, and students entering their last year of school for full-time opportunities. Students who are earlier on in their academic career are also encouraged to attend if they're interested in careers in professional services and would like to network with our professionals and learn more about the work they do.

    Are you recruiting for internships, full time, or both?

    We are recruiting for internships and full-time opportunities, but the bulk of our recruiting efforts will be focused on internships (for students graduating any time between December 2022 and summer of 2023)

    Can you offer Visa sponsorship? Unfortunately, Grant Thornton is not able to offer Visa sponsorship to candidates.
    Are you able to hire a student on CPT or OPT? Sadly not; Grant Thornton requires that candidates do not require sponsorship now or at any point in the future.


    Maggie Cutler Young (she/her/hers) is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

  • Epstein Seminar: Stephen J. Wright (University of Wisconsin-Madison) - The Role of Complexity Bounds in Optimization

    Tue, Sep 14, 2021 @ 03:30 PM - 04:50 PM

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    Speaker: Dr. Stephen J. Wright, University of Wisconsin-Madison

    Talk Title: The Role of Complexity Bounds in Optimization

    Abstract: Complexity analysis in optimization seeks upper bounds on the amount of work required to find approximate solutions of problems in a given class with a given algorithm, and also lower bounds, usually in the form of a worst-case example from a given problem class as regards the work required by a particular class of algorithms. The relationship between theoretical complexity bounds and practical performance of algorithms on "typical" problems varies widely across problem and algorithm classes, and relative interest among researchers between these two aspects of algorithm design and analysis has waxed and waned over the years. This talk surveys complexity analysis and its relationship to practice in optimization, with an emphasis on linear programming and convex and nonconvex nonlinear optimization, providing historical (and cultural) perspectives on research in these areas.

    More Info: Please email owh@usc.edu for Zoom Link

    This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.

    Speaker: Tim Colonius, Caltech

    Talk Title: Simulation of bubbly, cavitating flows with application to shock- and ultrasound-based medical therapies.

    Abstract: Models and numerical methods for simulating bubbly, cavitating flows have benefitted from recent advances in sharp and diffuse interface-capturing schemes, but many challenges remain to be solved before they can be routinely used to predict the complex, multiscale flows associated with important applications in engineering and medicine. In particular, the complex phase boundary, small length scales, and fast time scales associated with the dynamics of bubbles and clouds of bubbles strain existing algorithms and computational resources. In this talk, I will review different formulations for multiphase/multicomponent flows that involve large changes in volume, including methods that explicitly resolve the material interface, and ones that model the mixture as either homogeneous, or as a dilute dispersion of spherical bubbles. These methods are demonstrated in applications involving the high-intensity ultrasound and shock waves used for medical imaging and intra- and extra-corporeal manipulation of cells, tissue, and urinary calculi. Such waves are currently used to treat kidney stone disease, plantar fasciitis, and bone nonunion, and they are being investigated as a technique to ablate cancer tumors and mediate drug delivery. In many applications, acoustic waves induce the expansion and collapse of preexisting or newly cavitating bubbles. The resulting bubble dynamics generate large, localized stresses and strains that can be beneficial or deleterious depending on how effectively they can be controlled. I will describe efforts aimed at simulating the collapse of bubbles, both individually and in clusters, in order to characterize these mechanical stresses and strains.

    Talk Title: The Fate and Transformation of Nitromethanes during Wastewater Reuse Processes

    Abstract: As water resources become increasingly scarce, potable reuse of wastewater is considered to be a potential solution. There are increasingly number of treatment processes currently in used in full- and pilot- scale water reclamation plants involves ozonation. Ozone is considered to be a highly effective oxidant and disinfectant. However, previous research has demonstrated that ozonation of wastewater overall drastically increases chloropicrin formation potential during subsequent chlorination. Nitromethane has been be proven to be the immediate precursor of chloropicrin prior to chlorination, however nitromethane itself is unlikely to be present in wastewater naturally. Previous research indicates that ozone directly oxidizing secondary amines bearing an N-methylamine functional group lead to nitromethane formation.

    Ozonation is widely used in wastewater reclamation treatment trains, either for micropollutant control or as a disinfectant and pre-oxidant in certain reuse processes. Nitromethane formation will be strongly promoted post ozonation but its fate through other treatment process remains uncharacterized, which raise the question of can nitromethane be detected in final product water. The objects of this study are to demonstrate that nitromethane formation post ozonation in real full- and pilot scale reuse plants and to characterize the nitromethane fate throughout the entire treatment trains.
    In this work, the fate of nitromethane through water reuse treatment trains was characterized by analyzing samples from five reuse operations employing ozone. Nitromethane was poorly (90%) nitromethane. Bench-scale experiments were conducted to verify low removal by RO in clean systems and with wastewater effluent, and to quantify the kinetics of direct and indirect photolysis of nitromethane in UV/AOP.

    These results indicate that nitromethane presents a unique hazard to direct potable reuse systems, due to its ubiquitous formation during wastewater ozonation, poor removal by RO and UV/AOP, and facile conversion into genotoxic halonitromethanes upon chlorine addition.
