SUMMARY:Phase Retrieval
DESCRIPTION:Instructors/Speakers\nProf. Peter G. CASAZZA\nDirector of The Frame Research Center and Curators’ Professor\nDepartment of Mathematics\nUniversity of Missouri\nColumbia \nAbstract\nOver the 100 year history of phase retrieval\, it has had broad application to x-ray crystallography\, electron microscopy\, diffractive imaging\, DNA\, x-ray tomography and much more. Phase retrieval will even be needed to align the mirrors of the new James Webb Space Telescope scheduled for launch in 2018. We will start with the history and fundamentals of phase retrieval and its applications which have garnered a dozen Nobel Prizes over the years. Only recently have mathematicians entered this area to give a solid mathematical foundation to phase retrieval. In the second half of this talk we will look at recent advances in the mathematics of phase retrieval. \nBiography\nProf. Casazza is currently the Director of The Frame Research Center abd  Curators’ Professor of Department of Mathematics of University of Missouri. Prof. Casazza worked for 25 years in functional analysis (Banach space theory) and then switched into applied math. He does research in functional analysis\, (applied) harmonic analysis\, operator theory\, but his main research interest is in applications of Hilbert space frames to problems in mathematics\, applied mathematics and engineering.

SUMMARY:Fundamentals\, Properties\, and Applications of Polymer Nanocomposites
DESCRIPTION:Instructors/Speakers\nDr. Joseph H. Koo\nSenior Research Scientist\nPolymer Nanocomposites Technology Laboratory\nDepartment of Mechanical Engineering\nThe University of Texas at Austin \nAbstract\nThe introduction of inorganic nanomaterials as additives into polymers has resulted in polymer nanocomposites exhibiting a multiplicity of high-performance characteristics beyond what traditional polymeric composites possess. These “multifunctional” features attributable to polymer nanocomposites consist of improved properties\, such as thermal\, flame\, ablation\, electrical\, moisture\, chemical\, permeability\, and others. Through control/alteration of the additive at the nanoscale level\, one is able to maximize property enhancement of selected polymer systems to meet or exceed the requirements of current commercial\, military\, and aerospace applications. This seminar includes: an overview of different nanomaterials\, processing techniques\, and selective examples to examine the behavior of polymer nanocomposites for applications\, such as re-entry vehicles\, rocket engines\, additive manufacturing\, and fire protection. \nBiography\nDr. Koo has over 40 years of industrial and academic experience in program and engineering management. Currently\, he is Senior Research Scientist/Research Professor/Director of Polymer Nanocomposites Technology Lab in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin\, Austin\, TX. Dr. Koo is the founder of KAI\, LLC and currently serves as Vice President and CTO. He is a SAMPE Fellow and Chairman of the SAMPE Nanotechnology Committee. Dr. Koo is an Associate Fellow of AIAA and Past-Chair of the AIAA Materials Technical Committee. He specializes in polymer nanocomposites: processing\, characterization\, and applications\, such as ablatives for thermal protection systems\, flame retardant polymers\, fire resistant fabrics & textiles\, additive manufacturing\, thermally conductive polymer matrix composites\, sensor to measure in-situ ablation recession and thermal properties\, sensors to measure char strength\, thermophysical properties characterization\, ablation modeling\, modeling of polymer degradation\, and insensitive munitions technology of solid rocket motors. Dr. Koo’s publications include two books\, Polymer Nanocomposites: Processing\, Characterization\, and Applications\, McGraw-Hill\, New York (2006)\, and Fundamentals\, Properties\, and Applications of Polymer Nanocomposites\, Cambridge University Press\, Cambridge\, UK (2016)\, and over 500 papers/presentations in materials\, thermal and optical science disciplines. \n

SUMMARY:Analysis of two-grid methods for miscible displacement problem by mixed finite element methods
DESCRIPTION:Instructors/Speakers\nProf. Yanping CHEN\nProfessor of School of Mathematical Sciences\nSouth China Normal University \nAbstract\nThe miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous medium is governed by a system of two equations. One is elliptic form equation for the pressure and the other is parabolic form equation for the concentration of one of the fluids. Since only the velocity and not the pressure appears explicitly in the concentration equation\, we use a mixed finite element method for the approximation of the pressure equation. In order to find a stable finite element discretization method\, we use different discretization method for the concentration equation\, such as finite element method with characteristic; mixed finite element method with characteristic; expanded mixed finite element method with characteristic etc. To linearize the discretized equations\, we use one (two) Newton iterations on the fine grid in our methods. Firstly\, we solve an original non-linear coupling problem. Then\, solve a linear system on the fine grid and while in second method we make a correction on the coarse grid between one (two) Newton iterations on the fine grid. We obtain the error estimates of two-grid method\, it is shown that coarse space can be extremely coarse and we achieve asymptotically optimal approximation. Finally\, numerical experiment indicates that two-grid algorithm is very effective. \nBiography\nProf. Chen Yanping currently is a professor from School of Mathematical Sciences at South China Normal University. She is also a Guangdong Provincial “Zhujiang Scholar”. Prof. Chen obtained her PhD degree at Shandong University\, and continued her postdoc research at Nanjing University. After that\, Prof. Chen worked at Xiangtan University\, and served as associate director of Hunan Key Laboratory for Computation and Simulation in Science and Engineering from 2002 to 2008. Since 2008\, Prof. Chen moved to South China Normal University. \n
