  Ted Holmberg
  PINNs and Surrogate Models for Real-Time Hydrological Forecasting along the Mississippi

    Presented By Ted Holmberg

    Thu, May 8, 2025 @ 10:00 AM

    Math 303 & Via Zoom

  
  

  Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) can serve as fast, equation-aware surrogates for the computational models used in river, levee, and subsurface analysis. By embedding governing hydrodynamic and hydrogeologic equations within the learning process, these surrogates deliver accurate results... Read More

  Rasha Alshawi
  AI-Powered Inspection: A Computer Vision System for Efficient Defects Detection in Underground Infrastructures

  (Ph.D. Defense)

    Presented By Rasha Alshawi

    Advisor(s): Dr. Md Meftahul Ferdaus, Dr. Mahdi Abdelguerfi

    Wed, April 16, 2025 @ 9:00 AM

    Math 303

  
  

  Abstract: Undetected defects in culverts and sewer pipes pose significant risks to public safety, leading to infrastructure collapses, flooding, and transportation disruptions. Traditional manual inspections are time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error, while existing automated methods struggle with... Read More

  Austin Schmidt
  Fixed-Location Forecasting with Ratio-Coupled Loss Functions

    Presented By Austin Schmidt

    Thu, April 3, 2025 @ 10:00 AM

    Math 303 & Via Zoom

  
  

  Abstract: This seminar focuses on fixed-location forecasting of physical parameters collected by sensors, with a novel methodology for dynamically integrating multiple sources of training data. The forecasts of fixed locations with a generalized model aid in cases where data is missing or noisy due to... Read More
