Integral transform methods are a cornerstone of applied physics in optics, control, and signal processing. These areas of application benefit from physics techniques not just because the techniques are quantitative, but because the quantitative knowledge that physics generates provides concrete insight. Here, we introduce an integral transform framework for optimization that puts it on an...
Land-use decision-making processes have a long history of producing globally pervasive systemic equity and sustainability concerns. Quantitative, optimization-based planning approaches, e.g., Multi-Objective Land Allocation (MOLA), seemingly open the possibility of improving objectivity and transparency by explicitly evaluating planning priorities by land use type, amount, and location. Here,...
The advent of additive manufacturing techniques offers the ability and potential to (literally) reshape our manufactured- and built environment. However, key issues, including questions about robustness, impede the use of additive manufacturing at scale. In this talk, we present a high-performance code that extends topology optimization, the leading paradigm for additive manufacturing design,...
In this talk, we explore solutions to models describing waves under ice generated by moving disturbances such as trucks moving on ice that is frozen on top of large bodies of water. We start by showing how the problem can be reformulated in surface variables, reducing the number of unknowns and resulting in a nonlinear integro-differential system of equations. To solve these equations, we use...
