Learning to model pediatric asthma exacerbation from multiple risk factors: a case study in coastal Virginia

Jonathan Colen, Eric Werner, Maryam Golbazi +6

Childhood asthma is a common illness exacerbated by air pollution as well as meteorological and neighborhood-level socioeconomic factors. Modeling asthma exacerbation (AE) in large…

Harnessing the Power of Gradient-Based Simulations for Multi-Objective Optimization in Particle Accelerators

Kishansingh Rajput, Malachi Schram, Auralee Edelen +6

Particle accelerator operation requires simultaneous optimization of multiple objectives. Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) is particularly challenging due to trade-offs between t…

Explainable physics-based constraints on reinforcement learning for accelerator controls

Jonathan Colen, Malachi Schram, Kishansingh Rajput +1

We present a reinforcement learning (RL) framework for controlling particle accelerator experiments that builds explainable physics-based constraints on agent behavior. The goal is…

Negative group velocity and Kelvin-like wake pattern

Eugene B. Kolomeisky, Jonathan Colen, Joseph P. Straley

Wake patterns due to a uniformly traveling source are a result of the resonant emission of the medium's collective excitations. When there exists a frequency range where such excit…

Sociohydrodynamics: data-driven modelling of social behavior

Daniel S. Seara, Jonathan Colen, Michel Fruchart +3

Living systems display complex behaviors driven by physical forces as well as decision-making. Hydrodynamic theories hold promise for simplified universal descriptions of socially-…

Zyxin is all you need: machine learning adherent cell mechanics

Matthew S. Schmitt, Jonathan Colen, Stefano Sala +5

Cellular form and function emerge from complex mechanochemical systems within the cytoplasm. No systematic strategy currently exists to infer large-scale physical properties of a c…
