Secure Autonomy
June 2, 2022 - UC Riverside, Alumni & Visitors Center
The Workshop focussed on how to create autonomous systems that meet tight security constraints.
Plenary speakers included: Mani Srivastava, UCLA; Magnus Egerstedt, UCI; Jeffrey Hyde, LANL
Computational Mechanics & Sciences
January 26-29, 2021 - Virtual Workshop
The Workshop focussed on computational mechanics and sciences relating to materials. Key efforts of the workshop included building new and diversifying current multi-campus and laboratory collaborations, promoting gender balance in the field of computational mechanics and sciences and across relevant discipline and build new types of relations to scale up training programs and foster the diversity of the emergent workforce.
Frontiers in Machine Learning for the Physical Sciences
October 26, 2020 - Virtual Symposium
A revolution is beginning, melding computationally enhanced science with machine learning in ways that respect and amplify both domains. The University of California's academic campuses and National Laboratories are at the forefront, but in different ways that would benefit from a dialog. This Workshop promoted that dialog in application to the physical sciences.
Inclusive Pipeline & Recruiting Workshop
September 3, 2020 - Virtual Workshop
The Strategic and collective partnership to educate a diverse next generation of scientists and engineers for the national labs' workforce.
Nuclear and Materials Workshop
August 20, 2020 - Virtual Workshop
Motivated by LANL's Particle Futures and Materials for the Future Science pillars and LLNL interest in nuclear and materials sciences and engineering, the program consisted of LANL leadership presentations, a student career session, and breakout sessions for participating faculty and scientists to find mutual areas of strategic overlap for possible partnerships across the three UCs and national labs.
