The Berkeley Space Center
3105 Etcheverry Hall 3105 Etcheverry Hall, Berkeley, CA, United StatesAlexandre Bayen Liao-Cho Professor, EECS; Associate Provost for the Berkeley Space Center This talk will describe the latest development of the Berkeley Space Center, a project in which UC Berkeley is developing a 36 acres parcel at NASA Ames (Moffett Field, near Mountain View), to build a new 1.4M sqft research hub, which will host research…
Constrained Bayesian Optimization of Experiments
3106 Etcheverry HallDaniel Siefman Assistant Professor Abstract: Engineering and research projects often involve optimizing a variable with respect to input parameters while respecting a constraint. For example, this might be optimizing the power production of a reactor by changing fuel parameters while maintaining a power peaking factor below a certain threshold. The design process can involve expensive…
