Probabilistic Modelling and Analysis of Power System Dynamics and Stability Kazi N. Hasan, Senior Lecture, School of Engineering, RMIT University, Australia Nov 30, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 power grid This presentation will demonstrate the most widely used probabilistic methods applied to power system stability analysis with their specific applications in frequency stability, small-disturbance stability, transient stability, and voltage stability. I/O Coordination for Better Resource Sharing - From HPC to AI Storage Xiaosong Ma, Department Chair and Professor of Computer Science, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) Dec 1, 12:00 - 13:00 B9, Level 2, Room 2325 ai storage In this talk, through a personal journey of parallel and distributed storage systems, I hope to share observations and lessons from these past projects. C1-Conforming Virtual Element Method (VEM) for Optimal Control of Oseen Equations with a Stream-Function Formulation Harpal Singh, Ph.D. Student, Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Dec 1, 14:30 - 15:30 B1 L3 R3426 Virtual Element Method This talk presents a C¹-conforming Virtual Element Method for the optimal control of generalized Oseen equations, detailing its discretization strategies, theoretical error estimates, and numerical validation on polygonal meshes. Mathematical Imaging in the Era of AI Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, Professor, DAMTP, University of Cambridge Dec 2, 13:30 - 14:30 B1 L23 R3119 AI optimization In this talk, I will present mathematical imaging as a meeting point of classical analysis and modern AI. I will highlight how ideas from optimisation and mathematical modelling can guide the development of structure-preserving deep learning methods, offering new, principled approaches to large-scale inverse imaging problems. Leader-Follower Opinion Dynamics: Socio-Economic Factors and Optimal Control Bertram Düring, Professor of Mathematics Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick Dec 2, 14:30 - 15:30 B1 L3 R3119 PDEs This talk will discuss the partial differential equation-constrained optimal control for a leader-follower opinion formation model and derive first-order optimality conditions. First Provably Optimal Asynchronous SGD for Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Data Arto Maranjyan, Ph.D. Student, Computer Science Dec 4, 08:30 - 11:00 B4/5 L0 A0125 machine learning optimization asynchronous algorithms Training This thesis introduces a novel framework for asynchronous first-order stochastic optimization centered on heterogeneous worker speeds that remain fast, stable, and even provably optimal. Will AI Replace Professors? Pavel Pevzner, Ronald R. Taylor Chair and Distinguished Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, University of California, San Diego Dec 4, 12:00 - 13:00 B2/B3 L0 A0215 This talk explores Massive Adaptive Interactive Texts (MAITs) as a pioneering AI technology that aims to replace the one-size-fits-all lecture model with a responsive and scalable system for individualized instruction. Nuclear Fusion Powered by AI and HPC Vladimir Pimanov, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Applied Mathematics and Computational Science Dec 4, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 AI artificial intelligence Fusion simulation This talk presents advanced simulations with AI-driven optimization to improve the performance of a next-generation plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion concept.
