We invite you to attend the following free sessions focusing on how our tools support physics, simulation, and interoperability with other tools!
Register below for your preferred sessions. You can register for as many sessions as you like. Please note that seats are limited and therefore registration is required.
Using MATLAB for the Growing Computational Needs in Modern Physics
Wednesday, March 17th at 12:00 pm PDT
Today knowledge discovery in Physics crucially depends on high-technologies: state of the art computational software and hardware, as well as "Big Machines".
We will take a look at milestone modern achievements and main current trends in Physics and the role of technical computing and advantages it offers from knowledge discovery to sharing the knowledge.
Highlights include:
- A unified platform for instrument control, data tacking to data analyses
- Code refactoring for efficient and concise coding
- Demo: Example of converting lecture notes into interactive livescripts for basic and advanced physics topics
- Demo: Numerical quantum tunneling and double-slit "experiments"
- Recent curated course content for virtual labs
About the Presenter
Temo Vekua is a physics community liaison at MathWorks with experience in research and lecturing basic and advanced physics topics at universities.
Everything You Wanted to Know about Simulink but Were Afraid to Ask
Thursday, March 18th at 10:00 am PDT
Do you work with Simulink models but wish you had a better understanding of the tool's fundamentals? Do you wonder why colleagues are using the simulation platform in the first place and want a clearer picture of its benefits/typical use cases? If so, then this session is for you. We'll explore the philosophy behind Simulink such that attendees will attain a clear picture of when to use the software. We will introduce and reinforce key modeling concepts such that attendees will be better able to build, modify, execute, and analyze simulations.
Highlights
- Simulink use cases
- Simulink modeling fundamentals
- Simulink add-on capabilities
- Extended Q&A session
About the Presenters
Terry Denery, Ph.D. Prior to MathWorks, Terry developed rocket motors at Hercules Aerospace (Now Aliant Technologies), and focused deeply on mechanical design and analysis at MSC, supporting use of products like ADAMS, Working Model, and visual NASTRAN. Since joining MathWorks in 2004, Terry has met thousands of engineers to discuss control design and modeling electro-mechanical devices. Education: Ph.D. in Aeronautics/Astronautics, Stanford University; B.S. in Chemical Engineering and M.S.in Mechanical Engineering, University of Virginia. Please check Terry out on YouTube:Mechatronics, and Control Systems
Sam Mirsky. Before joining The MathWorks in May 2007, he worked for 14 years in the aerospace industry where he was involved in Hardware-in-the-Loop testing of guidance, navigation, and control systems, including real-time, closed-loop simulation incorporating sensors such as GPS, accelerometers, gyros, and autopilots. Education: M.S. in Aerospace Engineering (Combustion) from Georgia Institute of Technology, B.S. in Aerospace Engineering (Fluid Dynamics) from Syracuse University.
Using MATLAB with Python
Friday, March 19th at 11:00 am PDT
MATLAB provides flexible, two-way integration with many programming languages, including Python. This allows different teams to work together and use MATLAB algorithms within production software and IT systems. This webinar will cover how to call MATLAB from Python and how to call Python libraries from MATLAB.
Please allow approximately 45 minutes to attend the presentation and Q&A session. We will be recording this webinar, so if you can't make it for the live broadcast, register and we will send you a link to watch it on-demand.
