TIME:	12:00 Noon - 1:00 PM


TITLE:	Multiscale and multiphysics technologies for biomechanics and 
tokamaks


SPEAKER:  JACOB MERSON  (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)


ABSTRACT:

Multiscale and multiphysics phenomenon lie at the heart of many of 
today’s most transformational problems ranging from human health and 
disease to fusion power, one of the most promising solutions for clean 
energy. Although tremendous progress has been made in high fidelity 
modeling, new tools and algorithms are required to unlock the vast 
potential of multiscale and multiphysics applications on exascale 
supercomputers and novel hardware accelerators.

In this talk I will show how advancements in numerical algorithms, 
physical understanding, high-performance parallel software, and machine 
learning has been leveraged to gain a greater understanding of the 
multiscale behavior of fibrous biological tissues including new insights 
related to the micromechanical causes of neck and back pain. And to 
perform multiphysics code-coupling and parallel control of gyrokinetic 
fusion reactor simulations with no data structure or algorithm 
modifications to the coupled codes; a key step in enabling exascale 
plasma simulations as needed to bring fusion power to the grid.
