LANL SPARC Michigan workshops are held bimonthly in Ann Arbor. In these workshops we identify specific collaboration projects for joint research.
LANL staff, Michigan faculty, as well as faculty from other area institutions are all cordially invited to attend. If you are interested in participating in one of the upcoming workshops, please email the workshop point-of-contact (POC).
Date: April 9 - 11, 2025
As part of a broader initiative to expand collaboration between U-M and LANL in the space of high-performance computing, this workshop will bring together experts from both institutions to explore opportunities in modeling reactive flow in both research and engineering applications. Discussions will focus on integrating high-fidelity simulations with efficient data processing frameworks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to enhance predictive capabilities for complex fluid dynamics.
POCs: Chris Ticknor (LANL, cticknor@lanl.gov) and Rebecca Lindsey (Michigan, rklinds@umich.edu)
Date: TBA
This workshop will focus on materials and processes relevant to LANL's national and energy security priorities. The focus is on advanced metallic alloys for structural applications, including materials in extreme environments (e.g., relevant to nuclear energy) and advanced manufacturing (e.g., additive manufacturing and thermomechanical processing).
Experiments, in-situ/ex-situ characterization, theory, modeling/simulation, sensors and diagnostics, data science and machine learning/artificial intelligence, the science of scale up relevant to advanced manufacturing, and processing, structure, property, performance relationships are of interest.
