Center for Nonlinear Studies

2022 Visitors

Martin Voegele, Schroedinger, Inc.

Lorenza Viola, Dartmouth College

Matthias Maier

Host: Eric Tovar (T-CNLS)
Visit Dates: Oct. 3rd, 2022 to Oct. 7th, 2022.
Dr. Matthias Maier is an expert in numerical analysis with a focus on computational methods for hydrodynamics. He will be visiting the Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) and the XCP-2/T-3 groups at LANL to contribute his expertise to the Integrated Codes project within the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program. This visit will thus directly benefit the ASC program and LANL. During his visit to LANL, Dr. Maier will meet with Dr. Eric Tovar (XCP-2), Dr. Roseanne Cheng (T-3) and Dr. Jeff Peterson (XCP-2) as well as other members of the groups to discuss the development of robust, higher-order methods for hydrodynamics. As part of his visit, Dr. Maier will give a talk in CNLS on this topic. Dr. Maier will also visit with Dr. Mark Schraad (XCP-DO) and Dr. Marianne Francois (T-DO) to help build collaborative efforts between LANL and academic institutions such as Texas A&M University.
Talks:

Nuno Gomes Loureiro, MIT

Host: Bill Daughton (T-CNLS)
Visit Dates: Jun. 13th, 2022 to Jun. 17th, 2022.
Nuno Loureiro is a top expert in theoretical and computational plasma physics. He will give a series of lectures at CNLS on topics within plasma physics, and he will develop new research collaborations with scientists across the laboratory. This visit will require access to LANL supercomputers and open source plasma simulation tools.

Andrew Miller, Universite catholique de Louvain

Nathan Killoran, Xanadu Quantum Technologies

Nicholas Chia, Mayo Clinic

Host: Marie Kroeger (T-CNLS/ B-11)
Visit Dates: May. 23rd, 2022 to May. 25th, 2022.
Dr. Chia will be visiting LANL to give a seminar in CNLS along with meeting with scientists in EES, T, and B divisions to discuss his research and potential collaborations.
Talks:

Simon Foucart, Texas A&M University

Host: Nick Hengartner (T-CNLS)
Visit Dates: May. 23rd, 2022 to May. 25th, 2022.
Dr. Foucart was awarded a LANL-TAMU grant to visit LANL to explore possible collaborations. His expertise is in data science and applied mathematics, and he will give two talks and meet with various scientists during his visit, which will occur sometimes in May, dates to be determined.
Talks:

Robin Delabays, University of California, Santa Barbara

Robin Delabays, UC Santa Barbara

Visit Dates: Apr. 11th, 2022 to Apr. 15th, 2022.
Dr. Delabays is an expert in oscillator networks and synchronization phenomena. He will be visiting Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) and Advanced Network Science Initiative (ANSI) group at LANL to contribute his expertise to one of the critical projects for ANSI, the Real-time Valuation of Sensor Reliability project which is a part of the DOE Office of Electricity portfolio. This visit will thus directly benefit ANSI and LANL. During his visit to LANL, Dr. Delabays will meet with Dr. Andrey Lokhov, Dr. Marc Vuffray, Dr. Russell Bent, and Dr. Melvyn Tyloo to discuss localization of forced oscillations in power grids. As a part of his visit, Dr. Delabays will give a talk about his recent work in this area.
