We investigate the effectiveness of wall-manipulation strategies based on the use of “spanwise traveling waves” in the high Reynolds number regime.

Trained on reference libraries an order of magnitude larger than before, DreaMS-Mol would extend annotation beyond the small, known fraction of chemistry, reaching the molecules behind the many spectra that remain unannotated across public repositories and biological samples.

Addition of polymers to single-phase turbulent flows leads to a significant drag reduction. Based on the percentage of achieved drag reduction (DR) in the flow, the viscoelastic flows are categorized as low drag reduction (LDR) and high drag reduction (HDR) regimes.

The DYNAMITE (DYnamic biomolecular interaction Network And Machine learning Integration for Targeted Energy calculations) aims to revolutionize binding free energy (BFE) predictions by integrating large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with advanced machine learning (ML) methodologies.

This project proposes to run global convection simulations with GPU-accelerated MHD solver (Pencil Code - Astaroth; PC-A) to study these processes in an unprecedented parameter regime.

Phase-change processes are present in everyday life, nature, technology and in scientific applications. In particular, the melting of ice into salty water is directly linked to the melting of icebergs and glaciers into the ocean.

This proposed study aims to explore the effects of soluble surfactant contamination on heat transfer in a turbulent bubbly channel flow using our in-house high-fidelity front-tracking code.

Inspired by dual-system cognitive theories, the project proposes a hybrid framework where a lightweight, fast-acting model operates in real-time while a larger, high-capacity model predicts future representations and refines decision-making.

This research proposal outlines the development of a transformer-based methodology for generating long videos through diffusion modeling. Initially, we propose using a causal encoder to compress images and videos into a shared latent space, facilitating cross-modality training and generation.
