LECTURE ABSTRACT
The presentation will review physics-informed neural networks (NNs) and summarize available extensions for applications in computational science and engineering. The lecture will also introduce new NNs that learn functionals and nonlinear operators from functions and corresponding responses for system identification. These two key developments have formed the backbone of scientific machine learning that has disrupted the path of computational science and engineering and has created new opportunities for all scientific domains. Finally, Karniadakis will discuss opportunities in digital twins, autonomy, materials discovery and others.
ABOUT GEORGE KARNIADAKIS
George Karniadakis is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow. He received his Master of Science and doctoral degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was appointed lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT and, subsequently, joined the Center for Turbulence Research at Stanford/NASA Ames. He joined Princeton University as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and as associate faculty in the Program of Applied and Computational Mathematics. He was a visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology in 1993 in the Aeronautics Department and joined Brown University as associate professor of applied mathematics in the Center for Fluid Mechanics in 1994.
After becoming a full professor in 1996, he continued to be a visiting professor and senior lecturer of mechanical and ocean engineering at MIT. He is an AAAS Fellow (2018-), Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM, 2010-), Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS, 2004-), Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME, 2003-) and Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA, 2006-). He received the SES GI Taylor Medal (2024), the SIAM/ACM Prize on Computational Science and Engineering (2021), the Alexander von Humboldt Award in 2017, the SIAM Ralf E Kleinman Award (2015), the J. Tinsley Oden Medal (2013), and the CFD Award (2007) by the U.S. Association in Computational Mechanics. His h-index is 146, and he has been cited more than 117,000 times.
