A new paper has been accepted in ICLR. We consider graph neural networks and propose a new graph representation of geometric data with 3D coordinates (e.g., molecules). The lead authors are Shih-Hsin Wang, who interned with me last summer, and Prof. Bao Wang from Utah. More details can be found here. This ICLR paper has been selected as an oral presentation (top 1.8%). |

Our team's project has been selected by by Georgia Tech's Open Source Program Office (OSPO). Our goal is to release our Newton-based Grad-Shafranov solver as an open-source project. Future enhancements include MPI support and advanced mesh adaptivity. We currently have an immediate opening for a RA position, ideal for undergraduate or master's students. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to reach out. We gratefully acknowledge the generous support from OSPO and the Sloan Foundation. |

Our team has a project selected at the Computational Physics Student Summer Workshop at LANL next summer. The project, titled "Kinetic Plasma Simulations Using Super-Particles," builds upon the work of Ph.D. student Mandela Quashie. If you are interested in working with us and participating the workshop as a student fellow, please apply by January 15th (US citizen only). |

A new inter-lab LDRD project has been selected for funding. We will collaborate with LANL (PI: Chengkun Huang), SNL (PI: Khachik Sargsyan), and PNNL (PI: Ben McDonald). The project focuses on developing data-driven approaches, including scientific machine learning and reduced-order modeling, for multi-probe radiography systems. A funded PhD position at Georgia Tech will be available as part of this project. |

A new paper has been submitted on a structure-preserving discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation. We designed and developed the new scheme using a combination of compatible finite elements, fully implicit time stepping, preconditioning, and time adaptivity. This is a joint work with Golo Wimmer and Ben Southworth at LANL. See arXiv. |
