Progressive Degree Program Webinar
Wed, Sep 21, 2022 @ 12:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Graduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
The Progressive Degree Program, PDP, is a valuable opportunity for USC students to earn credits toward a master's degree while completing their bachelor's degree at USC and then transitioning smoothly into their master's program. In this webinar, you will learn about the process for applying for PDP, application requirements, and what Viterbi Engineering programs are available through PDP.

Talk Title: High-Order Differential Inclusions for Continuous Decomposition of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things
Abstract: Formal verification of nonlinear dynamical systems particularly suffers the curse of dimensionality. While linear systems of tens of variables can be successfully analyzed, it is not the case of systems where symbolic methods are generally infeasible. A numerical approach to the problem would require decoupling the system in order to reduce the dimensions of each subsystem and consequently mitigate the problem. In this lecture we propose a solution based on high-order differential inclusions, which can be used to replace coupling variables with bounded input noises. The formulation for differential inclusions for nonlinear systems is provided, along with a discussion on its implementation in the Ariadne library for rigorous numerics. We also compare the performance and scalability with the current state-of-the-art on tools for the analysis of nonlinear open dynamical systems.
Biography: Luca Geretti is currently a research associate at the Computer Science department of the University of Verona (Italy). He obtained his master's degree in Electronics Engineering at the University of Udine (Italy) with a thesis on "Design and FPGA implementation of stochastic feed-forward neural networks" and his PhD degree in Computer Engineering from the same institute, while switching his focus to "Autonomy and collaboration in ad-hoc mobile networks". He then moved to Verona to work on formal verification of nonlinear hybrid systems. He currently leads the Nonlinear group for the yearly ARCH competition of formal verification tools, where he also participates with the Ariadne software of which is the main engineer. From October 2022 he will be a research scholar at the University of Southern California.

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Carl Castro, University of Southern California
Talk Title: Challenges of Military Veterans Transitioning Back to Their Civilian Communities
Series: USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society (CAIS) Seminar Series
Abstract: Military service involves integrating into a unique military culture that may involve experiencing a number of life-threatening traumas, including combat, sexual assault and suicide. These traumas may result in unresolved or ongoing mental and physical health issues that can significantly impact a successful transition of service members back to their civilian communities. In this presentation, how communities can assist military veterans in rejoining their communities will be discussed.
Register in advance for this webinar at:
https://usc.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MentgCmBRLWPxLoJ3LbFKw
After registering, attendees will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.
Biography: Dr. Carl Castro is currently Professor and Director of the Military and Veteran Programs at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at the University of Southern California. Before joining the University of Southern California, Professor Castro served in the U.S. Army for over 30 years, retiring at the rank of colonel. Dr. Castro participated in the Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo Campaigns, Operation Northern Watch, and the Iraq War. Dr. Castro has chaired numerous NATO and international research groups and he is currently Chair of a NATO research group on Military Veteran Transitions and Co-Chair of a NATO group exploring Military and Veteran Radicalization. His current research efforts are broad and include: (a) the exploration of the military culture that leads to acceptance and integration of diverse groups; (b) understanding and ameliorating the effects of military trauma and stress, especially combat and deployment, on service members and their family; (c) the prevention of suicides and violence such as sexual assault and bullying; and (d) evaluating the process of transitioning into the military and transitioning from military service back to civilian life.

Speaker: Jane Bae, Caltech
Talk Title: Wall-models for large-eddy simulations of turbulent flows via scientific multi-agent reinforcement learning
Abstract: The predictive capabilities of turbulent flow simulations, critical for aerodynamic design and weather prediction, hinge on the choice of turbulence models. The abundance of data from experiments and simulations and the advent of machine learning have provided a boost to turbulence modeling efforts. However, simulations of turbulent flows remain hindered by the inability of heuristics and supervised learning to model the near-wall dynamics. We address this challenge by introducing scientific multi-agent reinforcement learning (SciMARL) for the discovery of wall models for large-eddy simulations (LES). In SciMARL, discretization points act also as cooperating agents that learn to supply the LES closure model. The agents self-learn using limited data and generalize to higher Reynolds numbers in reproducing key flow quantities. We test the discovered wall model to canonical flat plate boundary layers, which shows good predictable capabilities outside the Reynolds numbers used to train the model. We will discuss extensions to this model for flows with pressure-gradient effects.
Biography: Jane Bae is an Assistant Professor of Aerospace at the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech. She received her Ph.D. in Computational and Mathematical Engineering from Stanford University in 2018. She was a postdoctoral fellow in the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories at Caltech and the Institute for Applied Computational Science at Harvard University before joining the Caltech faculty. Her main research focuses on computational fluid mechanics, in particular on modeling and control of wall-bounded turbulence.
