Prof. Sapsis receives the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship, DoD’s most prestigious single PI award, for research on extreme events
Paper on extreme climate events featured in the MIT News
Paper on a new method for debiasing climate model outputs for extreme event statistics to appear to Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
The new method allows for accurate quantification of statistics even for events that have return period that is much longer than the training data. Paper can be downloaded here.
Prof. Sapsis appointed Director of the Center for Ocean Engineering
Paper on active learning for optimal interventions using causality models has been accepted to Nature Machine Intelligence and featured on the MIT News
Paper on physics and forecasting of extreme separation events in airfoil flows has been accepted to AIAA Journal
Stephen successfully defends his PhD thesis. Congratulations!
Stephen successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled “Analytical and computational methods for non-Gaussian reliability analysis of nonlinear systems operating in stochastic environments”. Warm congratulations!
Bianca receives multiple awards from MechE.
Bianca has been awarded the Clement Award for outstanding Masters of Science in the Marine field, the Meredith Kamm Award for Excellence as a Woman Graduate Student, and the 3rd Prize in the de Florez Competition in Graduate Science. These awards recognize her work on the development of a real-time 4D monitoring platform of ocean acidification quantities in the Massachusetts Bay. Warm Congratulations!!
