DESCRIPTION:Prof. Peter Schmid\, KAUST\nABSTRACT:\nNumerical simulations o
 f multi-physics and multi-scale fluid systems have reached an impressive l
 evel of maturity and precision and have complemented an equally impressive
  development of high-resolution experimental techniques. In light of these
  new capabilities\, the  analysis of complex fluid systems requires a com
 mensurate level of sophistication to detect and extract key mechanisms res
 ponsible for the bulk of mass\, momentum\, and energy transport. In this t
 alk\, we will introduce a set of tools that venture beyond the common stan
 dards to model intrinsic fluid behavior and that lay the foundation for op
 timization\, control\, and a reduced description of essential subprocesses
 . Both model-based and data-driven techniques will be covered. Transfer op
 erators\, enhanced autoencoders\, agent-based optimization\, and sequentia
 l compression schemes will be demonstrated on a range of fluid application
 s.\n\n \nBIO :\nPeter Schmid is currently Professor of Mechanical Enginee
 ring and Affiliate Professor of Applied Mathematics at the King Abdullah U
 niversity of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. Before joinin
 g KAUST\, he held positions at the Department of Mathematics of Imperial C
 ollege London\, with the French National Research Agency (CNRS) and the É
 cole Polytechnique in France\, and at the Department of Applied Mathematic
 s of the University of Washington in Seattle\, WA. He received his Ph.D. i
 n Mathematics from M.I.T. and his Engineer’s Degree in Aerospace Enginee
 ring from the Technical University of Munich\, Germany. He is a Fellow of 
 the American Physical Society\, a Gordon & Betty Moore Scholar (2013)\, an
 d an Overseas Fellow of Churchill College at Cambridge University. His res
 earch interests fall within the area of computational fluid dynamics\, wit
 h emphasis on stability theory\, receptivity analysis\, flow control\, mod
 el reduction\, and system identification. He is also interested in methods
  for quantitative flow analysis for numerical and experimental data.\n\n
