Data Analytics and Optimization

Lead: William Hart, Sandia National Laboratories

This is an emerging area whose predictive capability is partially based on modern data analysis and machine learning techniques rather than strictly on approximate solutions to equations that state fundamental physical principles or reduced semiempirical models. This activity encompasses a broad range of research areas and techniques, some of which are only recently coming into maturity in the context of high-end simulation.
