Excited to share our newest work "Topological Analysis of Molecular Dynamics Simulations using the Euler Characteristic".
We explore powerful connections in topology, molecular simulation, and physical properties.

🧵1/n
This characterization of the data allows us to outperform complex machine learning architectures with simple linear regression models for prediction of emergent phenomena (e.g., hydration free energy, solvent-mediated reactivity). (4/n)
Work done in collaboration with:
Spencer Runde, @alexkchew, Atharva Kelkar, Utkarsh Maheshwari, @VanLehnGroup, and @MadVictorZ!

Excited to share our work “Data Analysis using Riemannian Geometry and Applications to Chemical Engineering”.
We focus on the geometric analysis of symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices in anomaly detection.

(4/n) Once the data has been projected to a linear (Euclidean) space, we can safely apply methods that make this assumption (e.g., PCA)! This is demonstrated in two real world examples where we see dramatic improvements in both classification and dimensionality reduction.
(5/5) Work done in collaboration with @MadVictorZ, Benjamin Laubach (MSU/Dow), and Ivan Castillo (Dow).

Today we welcome Michael Webb in our Computing Seminar. Prof. Webb will be presenting his research in polymer design using hybrid simulation and machine learning models. You can join us this afternoon at 1:00 PM CST via Zoom. Meeting details are in the attached flyer.
I am applying for faculty positions this year and will be speaking at #AICHE2021 in Boston.
My talk will focus on applying topology, geometry, and data science to chemical engineering systems.
Stop by if interested!

Excited to share our newest publication!
We provide a holistic view on the Euler Characteristic (EC), and how it can be used to characterize complex data types that arise in application (e.g., microscopy, flow cytometry, process monitoring).
