Transport maps for accelerated Bayesian computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Bayesian inference provides a probabilistic framework for combining prior knowledge with mathematical models and observational data. Characterizing a Bayesian posterior probability distribution can be a computationally ... -
A deviational Monte Carlo formulation of ab initio phonon transport and its application to the study of kinetic effects in graphene ribbons
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)We present a deviational Monte Carlo method for solving the Boltzmann equation for phonon transport subject to the linearized ab initio 3-phonon scattering operator. Phonon dispersion relations and transition rates are ...
