distribution, and structural coupling to generate useful behaviors. This thesis develops computational design and optimization methods for lightweight mechanical systems with complex geometries and rich deformation behavior. The central goal is to create a simulation-driven inverse design framework in which shape, material, and structural parameters are optimized together so that the resulting physical system achieves desired equilibrium configurations, alignment targets, and crucially functional mechanical responses. By combining differentiable mechanics, compact design parameterizations, robust equilibrium solving, instructive shape space and functional space analysis, and optimization, the work investigates how complex physical behavior can be encoded directly into the design process.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n- <a aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-21545\" href=\"https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3072959.3073695\" target=\"_blank\">Computational Design and Automated Fabrication of Kirchhoff-Plateau Surfaces</a>: <a href=\"https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3072959.3073695\">https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3072959.3073695</a><br>\r\n- <a href=\"https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/the-design-space-of-plane-elastic-curves/\" target=\"_blank\">The Design Space of Plane Elastic Curves</a>: <a href=\"https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/the-design-space-of-plane-elastic-curves/\">https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/the-design-space-of-plane-elastic-curves/</a><br>\r\n- <a href=\"https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/procedural-metamaterials-a-unified-procedural-graph-for-metamaterial-design/\" target=\"_blank\">Procedural Metamaterials: A Unified Procedural Graph for Metamaterial Design</a>: <a href=\"https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/procedural-metamaterials-a-unified-procedural-graph-for-metamaterial-design/\">https://cdl.ethz.ch/publications/procedural-metamaterials-a-unified-procedural-graph-for-metamaterial-design/</a>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-29T09:14:57", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-29T09:51:11", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 329", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20329", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Junyu Liu", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120578/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71748, "title": "Reasoning Under Uncertainty: Trustworthy LLMs for High-Stakes Medicine", "slug": "reasoning-under-uncertainty-trustworthy-llms-for-h", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/reasoning-under-uncertainty-trustworthy-llms-for-h", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33074/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33074/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33074/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-26", "end_date": "2026-06-26", "start_time": "09:30:00", "end_time": "11:30:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Robert West<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Mary-Anne Hartley<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Martin Jaggi<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\nCurrent machine learning systems are very good at tasks reducible to statistical pattern recognition but falter on problems requiring deliberate, structured inference. Clinical reasoning exemplifies the latter: physicians generate hypotheses abductively, revise beliefs probabilistically as evidence accumulates, and choose among actions whose costs are deeply asymmetric. The harm of a missed diagnosis is not the harm of an unnecessary test. Large language models, increasingly deployed for clinical decision support, inherit this limitation. They conflate knowledge with inference: the same parameters that store medical facts are asked to reason over them, which leaves no explicit mechanism to quantify uncertainty, to abstain when evidence is insufficient, or to weight outcomes by their true clinical costs. This work argues that progress toward trustworthy medical AI requires separating the representation of knowledge from the machinery of inference, and grounding the latter in formal frameworks drawn from statistical decision theory. We investigate how these frameworks can be embedded into LLM reasoning pipelines and imposed as external scaffolding around them, maintaining competing hypotheses, guiding evidence gathering, and selecting actions that reflect the asymmetric cost structure of clinical practice. The goal is a class of systems capable of reasoning over their uncertainty, systems that know when they do not know.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon", "image_description": "Reasoning Under Uncertainty: Trustworthy LLMs for High-Stakes Medicine", "creation_date": "2026-04-29T09:21:38", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-29T09:21:38", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "INF 326", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==INF%20326", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Yusuf Kesmen", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120579/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] } ] }
