Bug World: A special exhibition at NHMU
Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI)
Machine Learning Approaches to Morphological Analysis in Nuclear Forensics
Abstract: Nuclear forensics investigators analyze nuclear materials to determine their origin or processing history. This analysis is well-suited for machine learning, but adoption of ML faces a distinct set of challenges: data is scarce and access-controlled, multiple analytical modalities must be combined, unreliable inputs must be identified and handled, and analyses must be interpretable by nontechnical users in high-consequence settings. This dissertation presents four machine learning methods that address each of these challenges in turn.
We first present a self-supervised contrastive framework that uses multiple scanning electron microscope (SEM) magnifications as different views of a sample, achieving 96.2% accuracy while generalizing to unseen data withheld during encoder training. We then present a data fusion framework that combines SEM imagery and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, showing that early fusion of these…

RAI Seminar: Sensing, Estimation, and Control for Flood Resilience — and Beyond

Sensing, Estimation, and Control for Flood Resilience — and Beyond, Abstract: Climate change and rapid urbanization are reshaping flood risk faster than existing management systems can adapt. Streamflow monitoring networks, hydrologic forecasting models, and long-term adaptation plans currently operate in isolation, preventing advances in one domain from translating into systemic resilience. This talk presents the computational foundations for a unified sensing–estimation–control loop that treats river networks as large-scale cyber-physical systems: observations sharpen forecasts, forecasts guide where and how to adapt, and adaptation priorities reshape where to sense next. First, a scalable sensor placement method is presented that uses a rank-revealing QR decomposition to identify where to monitor, extracting the locations that best capture basin-wide hydrologic variability from decades of retrospective streamflow simulations. Second, a data assimilation and forecasting system is developed, based…

Understanding and Predicting Western U.S. Fire-Drought-Hydroclimate Interactions with AI/ML, Observations, and Earth System Models
Abstract, Wildfire, drought, and hydroclimate are becoming increasingly intertwined across the western U.S. with important consequences for water resources, ecosystem resilience, and environmental hazard prediction. This seminar will present an integrated research program that combines AI/ML, observations, and Earth system models to advance understanding and prediction of western U.S. fire–drought–hydroclimate interactions. I will first show that antecedent winter and spring hydroclimate conditions explain a large fraction of the interannual variability and long-term trend in summer burned area, based on complementary AI/ML and process-based modeling analyses, and highlight the predictive value of the historically overlooked snow drought index for subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) fire outlooks. Building on the central role of drought in fire risk, I will then present a…

Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Machine Learning for Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling: Integrating Physical Models and Satellite ObservationsAbstract: Recent advances in machine learning offer new opportunities to enhance atmospheric chemistry modeling through improved efficiency, predictive skill, and integration of diverse observational datasets. This talk presents a series of machine learning frameworks developed to improve air quality prediction by combining physical models with satellite observations. The presentation will introduce DeepRSM and DeepCTM, machine learning–based surrogate chemical transport models that emulate traditional physics-based systems with substantially reduced computational cost while maintaining strong predictive performance. Applications include rapid air quality forecasting, emission–concentration response analysis, and exposure-health benefit assessment. The talk will also highlight machine learning approaches that fuse satellite observations with model simulations to generate more accurate and…

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.

Natural History Museum of Utah
Imagine What’s Possible in a World Built by Bugs!
Precision flight, swarm intelligence, mind control… bugs can do it all — and they’re doing it better than humans! Bug World is a larger-than-life exhibition that showcases the fantastical yet real-life abilities of bugs in an experience like no other. Featuring immersive environments and towering replicas, Bug World offers a mind-bending perspective on the incredible — but often overlooked — genius of insects and how they’re inspiring solutions to humankind’s most complex problems. You’ll never look at bugs the same way again!
Bug World was created by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and built by Wētā Workshop, the five-time Academy Award-winning special effects masters behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar. They teamed up with Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand to use their masterful modeling and set design to unveil the genius of insects like you’ve never seen before.
