What does a “virtual internship” lack, and what changes to mentoring or onboarding must be made? How can students get the most out of their internships—what opportunities should they look for, and how can they prepare for challenges? In the ninth installment of the panel discussion series, seasoned scientists offer career advice for students and early career scientists on weathering a pandemic, time management, and how to adjust to long-term changes while working remotely. Discussion protocol: Attendees are asked to type in their name and brief question in the chat accompanying the panel discussion. We will call on people to ask their question verbally in the order received, curating for uniqueness. Participation is free. Registration is required.

Good morning, Please plan on attending if your schedule allows. Thank You, Janet Werner Mathematics and Computer Science Division jwerner(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> (630) 252-3050 Argonne Virtual Microelectronics Colloquium Speaker: Professor Debdeep Jena Affiliation: Cornell University Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Materials Science and Engineering Department Ithaca, New York Title: “Ultrawide bandgap semiconductors for microwave and power electronics and for quantum systems” Host: Anand Bhattacharya Date/Time: Friday, June 18, 2021; 1:00 PM CDT Zoom: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/16064119835 Abstract: The nitride semiconductors are the most revolutionary since Silicon. Though well known for visible photonics and lighting, they have much more to offer than initially imagined. The combination of polarization-induced complementary n- and p-type doping and combination of ultra-wide bandgap Aluminum Gallium Nitride quantum heterostructures with epitaxial nitride metals, nitride superconductors, and nitride ferroelectrics is leading to an exciting and unique material platform that enables applications ranging from high-speed RF communications, power electronics, and quantum communications and computation. I will discuss these opportunities and the challenges that researchers must address to achieve the promise. In this context I will share our recent findings of high-density 2-dimensional hole gases in undoped nitride semiconductor quantum heterostructures, and ferroelectricity in epitaxial nitrides, and how these findings are extending wide-bandgap electronics into unchartered application areas. Bio: Debdeep Jena [website<https://djena.engineering.cornell.edu/>] is the David E. Burr Professor at Cornell University. His teaching and research are in the quantum physics of semiconductors and electronic and photonic devices based on quantized semiconductor structures (e.g. Nitrides, Oxides, 2D Materials), and their heterostructures with superconductors, ferroelectrics and magnets, with device applications in energy-efficient transistors, light-emitting diodes and RF and power electronics and quantum computation and communications. His research is driven by the goal to enable orders of magnitude increase in the energy efficiency and speed for computation, memory, communications, lighting, and electrical energy management ranging from the chip to the grid. The research from his group has been published in more than 300 journal papers including in Science, Nature, Physical Review Letters, Applied Physics Letters and Electron Device Letters. Several patents have been granted for the group’s research work. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and is the winner of teaching awards and research awards such as the ISCS young scientist award in 2012, MBE young scientist award in 2014, and awards from the industry such as the IBM faculty award in 2012, and most recently the Intel outstanding research award in 2021.

We will be hosting the first “Virtual Meet and Greet of Research Software Engineers (RSEs)” at ANL on June 11th, Friday at 11am-Noon CT. Please find the calendar invite attached. Who is a Research Software Engineer? A Research Software Engineer is a person who works chiefly with software in a research environment. At Argonne, this includes many software developers, software engineers, and researchers, as we all spend some percentage of our time designing and writing software. While a wide variety of job titles describe us, the term Research Software Engineer (RSE) is fast gaining international recognition. Event Description: The focus of this session will be for ANL RSEs to get to know each other and to discuss their RSE experiences. It will also be a chance for the RSEs @ANL to learn a bit about the different approaches, methodologies and culture found in the different groups/departments of ANL. Everyone is welcome. We intend to make the ANL-RSE community call a regular event, contingent on the interests of our community.

CPS Division Meeting
by CPS Division Office 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Speaker: Ankit Srivastava, IIT BIO: Dr. Ankit Srivastava is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering department at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He holds a B.Tech. from IIT Guwahati, and M.S. and Ph.D. (Structural Engineering) from the University of California San Diego where he also worked with Prof. Sia Nemat-Nasser as a post-doctoral researcher. Srivastava has receieved the NSF CAREER award and is currently an Associate Editor of the Mechanics of Materials journal. Srivastava's research interest are in the areas of wave propagation, homogenization theory, phononics and metamaterials, soft robotics, and, recently, PINN based methods for wave problems. ABSTRACT: In this presentation, we introduce a new approach based on distance fields to exactly impose boundary conditions in physics-informed deep neural networks. The challenges in satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions in meshfree and particle methods are well-known. This issue is also pertinent in the development of physics informed neural networks (PINN) for the solution of partial differential equations. We introduce geometry-aware trial functions in artifical neural networks to improve the training in deep learning for partial differential equations. To this end, we use concepts from constructive solid geometry (R-functions) and generalized barycentric coordinates (mean value potential fields) to construct ϕ, an approximate distance function to the boundary of a domain. To exactly impose homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the trial function is taken as ϕ multiplied by the PINN approximation, and its generalization via transfinite interpolation is used to a priori satisfy inhomogeneous Dirichlet (essential), Neumann (natural), and Robin boundary conditions on complex geometries. In doing so, we eliminate modeling error associated with the satisfaction of boundary conditions in a collocation method and ensure that kinematic admissibility is met pointwise in a Ritz method. We will present numerical solutions to boundary-value problems in 1D and in 2D over curved geometries, and we demonstrate that the approach extends to higher dimensions by solving a Poisson problem with homogeneneous Dirichlet boundary conditions over the 4D hypercube. This study provides a pathway for meshfree analysis to be conducted on the exact geometry without domain discretization. The CPS Division is inviting you to a scheduled ZoomGov meeting.

Thank you and Goodbye
by Si, Min 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hi all, Maybe you already know, I have recently accepted an offer from Facebook and will leave soon. My last day at Argonne will be June 11, 2021 (this Friday). I first want to say thank you to all of you. I have started my journey at Argonne since 2013 when I was a PhD student. I have met and collaborated with so many great people here. Because of your, I could build my early career smoothly! Thank you. I really enjoyed my time here. I also want to say Goodbye to everyone. But it is not really a goodbye. I will still participate in HPC research (for AI) and will likely attend conferences where we may meet again. I also look forward to potential collaboration with many of you in the future. I am not sure whether my Argonne email address will become invalid immediately after June 11. But you can always find me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/minsi-atwork/ or minsi.atwork(a)gmail.com Best regards, Min -- Computing mailing list Computing(a)anl.gov https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing
