SQUIDS-NASC Joint Seminar: Metropolis-Hastings Acceptance Behavior for Bayesian Inversion with Random Forward Solvers
12:00 - 13:00 02 June 2026
Speaker: Emil Løvbak (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany) Abstract: In various application domains, one wishes to determine which parameter values should be used for a model to match its simulation output with measurement data. In practice however, measurement error on the data means that, at best, one can produce a so-called posterior...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Matthew Nicol
14:00 - 08 June 2026
Speaker: Matthew Nicol (University of Houston) Title: Stable laws for slowly mixing dynamical systems Abstract: Stable laws are a generalization of the central limit theorem. We investigate stable laws for observables f:X-->R on dynamical systems (T,X,m). They arise when a scaling of magnitude n^(1/alpha), alpha in (0,2), which is larger than...

Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
10 - 11 June 2026
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
