Join the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering for a graduate seminar presented by Dr. Qihang Lin, “Penalty-Based First-Order Methods for Bilevel Optimization with Minimax and Constrained Lower-Level Problems,” on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. in 3505 Seamans Center.

Dr. Lin will discuss bilevel optimization problems in which both the upper- and lower-level problems have minimax structures, with applications such as hyperparameter tuning and machine unlearning. The talk will...

The Department of Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar

PRESENTATION: Nanoparticle Effects in Multiphase Combustion: Liquid-Phase Transport, Droplet Combustion Response, and Premixed Gaseous Flame Structure. Nanoparticles offer effective ways to influence heat transfer, radiation absorption, and flame behavior, but their effects in combustion depend on more than simply how much material is added. Over time, particles can aggregate, settle, and redistribute, changing the state of the fuel or...
