While some students who hold degrees in civil engineering want to spend their careers working in industry, Alberto Torres knew early on that he wanted a different path. His research toward incorporating a probabilistic framework into topology optimization code has put him on a path to such a position. This summer, while interning with scientists […]

Congratulations to Prof. Michael Shields on receiving a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career Award! Prof. Shields’s project, titled, “Low-dimensional Manifold Learning for Uncertainty Quantification in Complex Multi-scale Stochastic Systems” leverages large-scale so-called dimension hyper-reduction methods to enable uncertainty quantification for complex multi-scale systems. The advanced modeling approach is likely to be more computationally […]
