Atomic structures and adatom geometries of surfaces encode information about the thermodynamics and kinetics of the processes that lead to their formation, and which can be captured by a generative physical model. Here we develop a workflow…

The importance of algorithms and data structures in computer science curricula has been amply recognized. For many students, however, gaining a good understanding of algorithms remains a challenge. Because of the automated nature of…

We present applications of modal analysis techniques to study, model, and control canonical aerodynamic flows. To illustrate how modal analysis techniques can provide physical insights in a complementary manner, we selected four fundamental…

We offer a view of mathematics as an experimental science where axioms play the role of foundational theories like general relativity and quantum mechanics in physics. Under this view, axioms are provisional and inferred from experience…
