iHARP Talk Tuesday Presents:
A journey in science research, education, and cooperative center administration
Speaker: Dr. Belay Demoz
Professor and Director of JCET
Abstract:
Dr. Demoz will discuss two areas that may be useful to iHARP. One
is on what iHARP is working on- “harnessing information within noisy,
discontinuous data in space and time and integrate data with numerical
and physical models.” Dr. Demoz will discuss with you an area that is
key to forecasting but we have not been able to do well, despite the
recognition of the problem starting early in 1980s. Specifically, he
will present on the problem of boundary layer thermodynamic data and its
use in weather forecasting and climate. Additionally, he will discuss
in brief what data is available and what AI/ML scientist like you in
iHARP can help. Knowing this is not the cold regions, a topic of iHARP,
it is assume the same methods that you are using in iHARP have shown
promise and would work well. The second part of the talk will focus on
the programmatic aspects of a center and how that may be sustained in
the future to beyond 2026 and more. Dr. Demoz will give an example of
such a center (JCET- jcet.umbc.edu) and hopefully GEST & GESTAR II.
He will talk about the science and education aspects as well as the
administration and integration to teaching that went on for the last
25+years. Perhaps there are some lessons for iHARP in those experiences.
