Abstract: Modelling and simulation are well-established tools in many fields, e.g., aerospace and energy technologies. Limitations of traditional computational modelling approaches have led in recent decades to the growth in alternative methods and paradigms, such as ab-initio and multi-scale modeling (to account for small scale effects averaged out in continuum models) as well as data-driven and model-order reduction (MOR) techniques (to deliver rapid results for applications such as optimization, control and uncertainty quantification). In this talk, we describe efforts by our group to develop data-driven and MOR approaches for models in science and engineering, with a focus on complex models of energy storage devices. This includes the use of machine learning and stochastic techniques (e.g., Gaussian process models, support vector machines) combined with manifold learning (e.g., diffusion maps and local tangent space alignment) to approximate maps between input spaces and very high dimensional (>104) output spaces. MOR approaches based on extended proper-orthogonal decomposition for parametric problems are also discussed. We discuss future directions, including the use of Deep Learning and Gaussian process latent variable models and outline some of the latest results.





Keywords: Batteries and fuel cells, mathematical models, supervised/unsupervised machine learning, Galerkin reduced order models

Short biography: Akeel Shah graduated with a first class honours degree in Mathematical Physics from Manchester University in 1995. Between 1997 and 2000 he undertook a PhD in Applied Mathematics, also at Manchester University, before two postdoctoral positions in University of Leeds and University of British Columbia, where his interests broadened to mathematical modeling of fuel cells. He has held faculty positions at University of Southampton and University of Warwick, with interests in he development and modeling of battery and fuel cell systems. He has worked with several companies including Ballard Power Systems and Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells. More recently his interests have extended to uncertainty quantification for general scientific and engineering problems, with a particular emphasis on field inputs and outputs (high dimensional spaces) using techniques for dimensionality reduction and emulation (machine learning and model order reduction). He currently leads a group of 3 PhD students and 2 postdoctoral researchers with funding in excess of £1m.
