Parameterized quantum circuits serve as ansätze for solving variational problems and provide a flexible paradigm for programming near-term quantum computers. Here we discuss three fundamental criteria for this paradigm to be effective: expressibility, trainability and generalisability. We will introduce these concepts and present recent analytic progress quantifying to what extent these criteria can be achieved. […]
All engineering Master's students are invited to use this weekday service to have an individual conversation with a career coach about any topic. No appointment is needed and the conversation length will vary based on the number of students waiting. Also, check out the CSPD website. There's lots to help you if office hours aren't […]
Advent of single-cell genomics has enhanced our ability to study heterogeneous cell populations (1) to track course of temporal processes, such as cellular differentiation, (2) to identify novel and rare cell states, and (3) characterize the heterogeneity of complex tissues, such as tumors. In this talk, I will present three methods to study such cell […]
As the volume of hypoxic waters grows around the globe, numerical models are increasingly used to understand the drivers of hypoxia and guide decisions that will mitigate its impacts. Such models represent microbial processes, such as photosynthesis and decomposition, which actively cycle nutrients and particulate material that influence hypoxia. Although microorganisms are critical to such […]
We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Quantitative Finance and Analytics Club at Duke University! At our core, we're committed to making Duke Graduate Students a pivotal player in the quantitative finance community. Our mission is to empower members with the knowledge and skills needed to lead in the world of finance, regardless of […]
Duke AI Health is hosting an Electronic Health Records Study Design Workshop (EHR-SDW) on Dec 2-6, 2024. This 5-day virtual workshop combines lectures + hands-on studio sessions on working with and designing clinical studies using EHR data. The EHR-SDW will introduce learners to the components of EHR data and in considerations for designing effective studies. […]

This seminar will discuss core opportunities and challenges at the intersection of experimental mechanics and machine learning. The application of data-driven and machine learning approaches to the mechanics of structural materials under a range of representative applications will be discussed, largely in the context of enabling high throughput experimentation and analysis, and in enabling new […]
Take a break with the engineering master's community and join us in the Teer Student Lounge for some breakfast snacks, coffee, and tea
This workshop is open to anyone (graduate students, postdocs, staff, faculty) who is involved in the recruitment process. I will go over various tips for interacting with prospective students. Dinner will be served after. RSVP is required
Thomas Lord Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Fall 2024 Seminar Series, welcomes Bogdan Epureanu, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, at The University of Michigan, to present the MEMS Seminar lecture: "Task Allocation and Strategy Adaptation in Teams of Autonomous Vehicles and Humans." ABSTRACT: Autonomous vehicles are increasingly thought of as team members alongside humans […]
Composite materials, due to their anisotropic stiffness, offer an improved potential for aeroelastic tailoring over isotropic material, e.g. metallic fan blades. This is because the anisotropy enlarges the degrees of freedom available. The presentation will show examples for using the orientation of the fibers in the composite, i.e. the lay-ups, for aeroelastic tailoring. It will […]
