Advances in flexible, deployable, and deformable structures and sensors require efficient simulation tools that capture nonlinear geometry and material behavior. We propose a machine learning (ML) approach using neural networks (NN) to simplify simulations, enabling the creation of digital twins and facilitating sim-to-real transfer in structural mechanics. This talk presents a case study using neural […]

Generic Large Language Models (GLLMs) are continually being released with increased size and capabilities, enhancing the capabilities of these tools as universal problem solvers. While the reliability of GLLMs' responses is questionable in many situations, these models are often augmented or retrofitted with external resources for various applications, including cybersecurity. The talk will discuss major […]

A System of Systems for Cognitive Decision-Making Decision-making is a task that an average person does about 300 to 400 times a day. Most decisions are minor but there are some that are of great importance, that the decision can have great impact. The Butterfly Effect states that a small action in one part of […]
