Machine learning methods have attracted growing interest across many fields, including solid mechanics. Constitutive artificial neural networks (CANNs) have shown high efficiency and accuracy for modeling hyperelastic materials, while physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a data-free alternative to conventional simulation techniques. However, standard PINNs often require large, complex networks and dense sampling in the simulation […]

Advancements in the aviation sector have consistently aimed to maximize efficiency through a multi-disciplinary approach, focusing on optimizing both structural and aerodynamic performance. Although modern aerospace structures are engineering marvels, they often lack or limit the flexibility observed in nature—such as the flexible, flapping wings of birds. This contrast underscores a significant opportunity to enhance […]

This talk will consist of parts: The first provides an overview of some interesting and challenging problems that have been studied over the past three decades by my research group. These studies span subsonic and supersonic flows and often involve developing or applying advanced diagnostics in difficult environments allowing us to peer into complex, feature-rich […]

VPG Laserone, a successor of IRE-Polus Ltd founded in 1991 by physicist Valentin P. Gapontsev, represents over three decades of scientific leadership in high-power fiber laser technology. The company has established a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem in Russia—localizing 85 % of component production and dedicating 25 % of its investments to R&D—to design, develop, and […]

Non-Hermitian wave dynamics challenge our conventional understanding of wave propagation, revealing transport behaviors inaccessible in Hermitian systems. In this seminar, I will present a few intriguing phenomena arising from these dynamics. In the first part, I will show a counterintuitive tunneling effect at the interface of a non-Hermitian system sandwiched between two Hermitian ones. Here, […]
