##Data Science Seminar##\\ Hosted by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics * Date: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 * Time: 12:00pm -- 1:00pm * Room: Whitney Hall 100E * Speaker: Zengyan Zhang (Binghamton University) * Title: Structure-preserving Reduced-order Models for Thermodynamically Consistent PDEs **//Abstract//** \\ As a powerful data-driven approach for dimensionality reduction, the proper orthogonal decomposition reduced-order model (POD-ROM) has been widely used as a computationally efficient surrogate model for complex large-scale systems. Given the computational complexity of the thermodynamically consistent models, the POR-ROM plays an important role in reducing the spatial-temporal complexity. However, the classical POD-ROM can destroy the thermodynamic structure in the reduced-order modeling approach for the systems. In this talk, we will introduce a numerical platform that can systematically derive ROMs for thermodynamically consistent PDEs while maintaining their inherent thermodynamic principles, and demonstrate its effectiveness in several numerical examples. \\
