The first talk normally starts at 11:00AM.? Each talk is typically 12 minutes long (similar to many professional meetings), with 8 minutes for questions. These talks will be presented via Zoom, with the following connection information: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/98491660566?pwd=NzBxNzN4LzdsbSs4R3B6RzliOGhhdz09 Meeting ID: 984 9166 0566 Passcode: 478314 Feb. 7th Tyler Sherrod: Flash Droughts in the Wake of Landfalling Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Description: A new methodology has been created to detect flash droughts based off cumulative daily anomalies of soil moisture, precipitation, and surface temperature. This allows for a more objective detection of the onset and demise of a flash drought. This method is then used to detect flash droughts that occur in the wake of landfalling Atlantic tropical cyclones. Marc Castells: Using SAMOS ship-based data to examine SST-wind stress coupling across SST Description: A positive correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and wind stress has long been observed in satellite-derived global datasets. Model simulations in previous studies have determined which combinations of certain characteristics (high/low latitude, high/low wind speed across the front, and wide/narrow width of the front) should enable which of three mechanisms (pressure adjustment, stability, or Coriolis) to be dominant in the SST-wind stress coupling. This study uses SAMOS data from ships crossing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to solve for a cross-front momentum equation along the ships' tracks. The value of each term of this equation, and how it varies with distance from the SST front, give an indication of which coupling mechanism is dominant in each case. Cases can be categorized by their combination of characteristics to draw comparisons with previous model studies. Emily Powell: The 2021 Florida weather and climate annual review Description: With the turn of a new year, we will take a look back at the weather and climate for Florida in 2021. We will briefly look at nationwide temperature and precipitation for the year and then take a closer look at statewide and local level statistics and where 2021 fits within long-term trends in our climate. We will also discuss the hazards and severe weather that impacted Florida, as well as large-scale patterns like ENSO that influenced our weather during the year. March 7th: Renee Richardson: Heather Holbach: Operational SFMR Algorithm Update Description: The Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) is the primary remote sensing instrument on the Hurricane Hunter aircraft for obtaining surface wind speed estimates in tropical cyclones. ?This talk will discuss the updates being made to the SFMR algorithm to improve the accuracy of the wind speed retrievals at high wind speeds (? 100 kts).

Meeting # 942 7359 5552 Schedule: Teatime - Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Colloquium - F2F (in 499 DSL) | Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Abstract: Computational materials design often starts with selecting elements and determining their concentrations. This process is tantamount to exploring the vast compositional space, which is a daunting task if it is performed by the traditional trial-and-error manner. In this talk, I will use multi-principal component alloys (also known as high-entropy alloys) as an example to show our recent results of using classical and quantum computers to explore the compositional space of these alloys. Specifically, my group trained a classical deep neural network to achieve the goal that given a certain combination of elements and concentrations, the trained model is capable of efficiently predicting the resulting atomic arrangement. I will also show our recent efforts of using quantum computers to accomplish the same goal. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Meeting # 942 7359 5552 Schedule: Teatime - Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Colloquium - F2F (in 499 DSL) | Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Abstract: Herbert Simon once envisioned the "Sciences of the Artificial," an area of research in which scientific findings are not treated as artifacts that do not change and are "contingent-not with how things are but with how they might be (Simon, 1981: ix)." As an academic, I discuss my journey into ?Sciences of the Artificial? by creating the editing and writing platform, r3ciprocity.com. I discuss the challenges, pitfalls, and struggles of creating a private enterprise that is geared towards helping out academics, PhDs, and researchers within an academic environment. Participants in the seminar will develop particular and theoretical insights into academic entrepreneurship. I will discuss getting traction, tenure considerations, scaling, and possible institutional changes that would encourage academic entrepreneurship. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

All are welcome to attend. https://fsu.zoom.us/j/94273595552 Meeting # 942 7359 5552 Feb 23rd, 2022 Schedule: Teatime - Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Colloquium - F2F (in 499 DSL) | Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Abstract: Modern imaging techniques in biology lead to abundant structural data. The paradigm "Structure determines functionality" dictates that the roles and functionalities of different biological objects are intimately tied to their morphologies. This talk discusses mathematical representations and statistical analyses of relevant biological objects, including amoeba cells, chromosomes, botanical trees, and blood vessel networks. Mathematically, these objects are represented as parameterized curves, surfaces, branching trees, or shape graphs. I will describe the use of elastic Riemannian metrics for comparing shapes of such objects in a way that is invariant to their rotations, translations, scaling, and parameterizations. These geometrical tools help us compute average shapes of 3D (botanical) trees, develop a shape alphabet for representing chromosomes as letter sequences, perform principal component analysis of arterial brain networks, and model dynamics of Entamoeba Histolytica in different liquid media. Furthermore, they help us address some fundamental scientific questions: Are the shapes of mitochondria in cells of our muscle tissues affected by our lifestyle (active versus sedentary)? Can we predict the onset of cognitive disorders using subcortical structures in the human brain? How does aging affect morphologies of arterial networks in human brains? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Unnikrishnan Message-ID: "Computational approaches for fluid problems in aero-propulsion" S. Unnikrishnan Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Florida A&M University-Florida State University NOTE: Please feel free to forward/share this invitation with other groups/disciplines that might be interested in this talk/topic. All are welcome to attend. https://fsu.zoom.us/j/94273595552 Meeting # 942 7359 5552 Mar 2nd, 2022, Schedule: * 3:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Teatime - Virtual (via Zoom) * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Colloquium - Attend F2F (in 499 DSL) or Virtually (via Zoom) Abstract: Aero-propulsion research is at the forefront of advancing air-transport technology for civilian, military, and space applications. Two key components of this technology include aerodynamics and propulsion systems, which inherently operate on principles of fluid mechanics. In this talk, we will first discuss the crucial role of scientific computing in providing high-fidelity simulated data on fluid behavior in aero-propulsion systems. The focus will be on the nature of relevant governing equations, and the specific numerical and computational techniques tailored to solve these equations in the context of aviation systems. In the second part, we will summarize two ongoing research programs at our lab: computational aero-acoustics, and hypersonics. In aero-acoustics research, we utilize simulations of supersonic flows to identify sources of intense sound emitted by Naval aircraft, which are detrimental to the environment. The goal is to curtail these sources to reduce the impact of military aviation on our surroundings. In the hypersonic task, we identify mechanisms that induce fluid turbulence in highly compressible flows, which is a major roadblock to increasing the speed of air travel. We will discuss the computational approaches to solve the linearized and non-linear governing equations and their respective roles in identifying the causes and effects of turbulence in hypersonic flows. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
