MACHINE LEARNING,

MODELING, & SIMULATION:

ENGINEERING PROBLEM-SOLVING IN THE AGE OF AI March 31, 2020
Youssef Marzouk is a professor in the Department of Aeronautics
and Astronautics at MIT and co-director of the CCSE. He is also
director of MIT’s Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory.

His research interests lie at the intersection of physical modeling

with statistical inference and computation. In particular, he develops
methodologies for uncertainty quantification, inverse problems,
large-scale Bayesian computation, and optimal experimental design
in complex physical systems. His methodological work is motivated
by a wide variety of engineering, environmental, and geophysics
applications.

 Industry professionals with at least a bachelor's
degree in engineering (e.g., mechanical, civil,
aerospace, chemical, materials, nuclear,
biological, electrical, etc.) or the physical
sciences.

 Other technical professionals with a background

in college-level mathematics including
differential calculus, linear algebra, and
statistics.

 Programming experience not necessary, but

some experience with MATLAB® is useful.
 Machine learning (ML) is a tool; it is not magic.

 Focus on physics-based modeling commonly

used in industry

 Understand strong connections between ML,

simulation, and optimization

 See examples directly from industry, rather than

extrapolating from more distant applications

 Sometimes ML is not the right tool!

 Important to understand why and why not…
