Ben Zwickl from Rochester Institute of Technology is back an even week:
This is an in-progress project, and I’m looking forward to an interactive discussion with lots of questions and feedback!
Our team has conducted 16 interviews with scientists from chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. Each interview delves into important tasks that incorporate computation as part of doing research and/or teaching.

OceanSun’s floating solar island consists of a hydro elastic membrane attached to a flexible torus, providing a more cost-efficient alternative with natural cooling of the panels leading to increased efficiency. The current research focuses on the seakeeping characteristics of OceanSun’s FSPV concept specifically. Wave induced loads are of particular interest, as the feasibility of offshore installation strongly depends on environmental loads. Important responses of the membrane based FSPV are identified by the development of a global model based on linear potential flow theory, and linearly pre-tensioned membrane motions. Based on theory formulated by Grøn (2022), a modal analysis is used to describe the vertical displacement of the membrane-floater system. A numerical implementation of the theory in WAMIT is compared to experimental results from model-scaled tests.

QOMBINE seminar talks by Delphine Martres (University of Oslo) and Alexander Müller-Hermes (University of Oslo)
Nakajima quiver varieties are a class of combinatorially defined moduli spaces generalising the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane, defined with the aid of a quiver Q (directed graph) and a fixed framing dimension vector f. In the 90s Nakajima used the cohomology of these varieties (in fixed cohomological degrees, and for fixed f) to construct irreducible lowest weight representations of the Kac-Moody Lie algebras associated to the underlying graph of Q. Since the action is via geometric correspondences, the entire cohomology of these quiver varieties forms a module for the same Kac-Moody Lie algebras, suggesting the question: what is the decomposition of the entire cohomology into irreducible lowest weight representations?
In this talk I will explain that this question is somehow not the right one. I will introduce the BPS Lie algebra associated to Q, a generalised Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated to Q, which contains the usual one as its cohomological degree zero piece. The entire cohomology of the sum of Nakajima quiver varieties for fixed Q and f turns out to have an elegant decomposition into irreducible lowest weight modules for this Lie algebra, with lowest weight spaces isomorphic to the intersection cohomology of certain singular Nakajima quiver varieties. This is joint work with Lucien Hennecart and Sebastian Schlegel Mejia.

Finding the optimal shape is a vivid research area and has a wide range of applications, e.g., in fluid mechanics and acoustics. Moreover, there is also a close link to image registration and image segmentation. In this talk, we consider shape optimization tasks as optimal control problems that are constrained by partial differential equations. From this perspective, state-of-the-art methods can be motivated by the choice of the metric on the set of admissible shapes. Moreover, a new approach for density based topology optimization is presented in the setting of Stokes flow. It is based on classical topology optimization and phase field approaches, and introduces a different way to relax the underlying infinite-dimensional mixed integer problem. We give a theoretically founded choice of the relaxed problems and present numerical results. Moreover, in order to show the potential of the new approach, we do a comparison to a classical approach.
