DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jürg Schiffmann\nTitle: Steps towards automated design\
 n\nAbstract: The design of mechanical systems is a challenging task. This 
 is primarily due to competing objectives and stringent design constraints\
 , which limit the design space and make it difficult to find feasible and 
 optimum solutions. In this seminar\, I will present first steps towards au
 tomated design to alleviate the tedious and repetitive part of the design 
 process.\n\nBio: After obtaining his diploma in mechanical engineering fro
 m EPFL in 1999 Dr. Schiffmann co-founded a start-up company dedicated to t
 he design of gas-lubricated bearings. In 2005 he joined Fischer Engineerin
 g Solutions where he led the development of small scale\, high-speed turbo
 machinery. In parallel he worked on his PhD\, which he obtained from EPFL 
 in 2008. He then joined the Gas Turbine Lab at MIT as a postdoctoral assoc
 iate where he worked on foil bearings. In 2013 he was nominated assistant 
 professor and in 2019 associate professor with tenure at the Ecole Polytec
 hnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Dr. Schiffmann is the recipient of several 
 best paper awards from the ASME TurboExpo.\n\n\nThe Center for Intelligent
  Systems at EPFL (CIS) is a collaboration among IC\, ENAC\, SB\; SV and ST
 I that brings together researchers working on different aspects of Intelli
 gent Systems.\n \nIn order to promote exchanges among researchers and enc
 ourage the creation of new\, collaborative projects\, CIS is organizing a 
 "Get to know your neighbors" series. Each seminar will consist of one shor
 t overview presentation geared to the general public at EPFL.   \n \nT
 he CIS seminar will take place live on Zoom: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/838278

 ss\, as this live event is only open to the EPFL community\nMonday\, June 
 21\, 2021 from 3:15 to 4:15 pm\nNB: Video recordings of the seminars will 
 be made available on our website and published on our social media pages
