Hands on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics
​
We had a very intense week covering all aspects of machine learning (Supervised, Unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning) with exercises and tutorials applied to fluid dynamics problems (e.g. aeroacoustic noise prediction, turbulence modeling, mesh-less integration of PDES and super-resolution, dimensionality reduction and flow control). Thanks to all the online and on-site participants for triggering wonderful discussions!

Fundamentals and recent advances in Particle Image Velocimetry and Lagrangian Particle Tracking
​
We had a great week dedicated to image velocimetry with the lecture series on "Fundamentals and recent advances in Particle Image Velocimetry and Lagrangian Particle Tracking" at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. The course was directed by Stefano Discetti, who coordinated an amazing team of lecturers composed by Fulvio Scarano, Andrea Ianiro, Tommaso Astarita, Christian Kaehler, Andreas Schröder, Andrea Sciacchitano and myself. Special thanks to Muhsin Can Akkurt and Misuki Okada who organized the laboratory demos.

'European Coating Symposium 2021
The 14th European Coating Symposium (ECS2021) was organized jointly by the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Brussels in an online+onsite format. The ECS2021also hosted a pre-conference training course titled Dynamics of Liquid Film Coatings- Theory and Applications.
The symposium and the course were co-organized with Prof. Buchlin (von Karman Institute) and Prof. Benoit Scheid (Université Libre de Bruxelles).

Lecture Series 'Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics: Analysis, Modeling, Control and Closures'
This was the first lecture series from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics dedicated to machine learning for fluid mechanics. The course was hosted by the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) from 24 to 28 February 2020, in the classic VKI lecture series format. The video of the lectures that were given in the VKI lecture series are available here and the lecture series notes will be published by Cambridge University Press in an edited book titled 'Data-Driven Fluid Mechanics: Combining First Principles and Machine Learning'.
