Hands on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics, III Edition!
The third edition of the "Hands-on Machine Learning" for Fluid Dynamics has just been completed. This year, we put more focus on real-time assimilation and digital twinning, introducing the notion of reinforcement twinning (RT). As usual, hundreds of scripts were provided and the participants could put their hands on many advanced algorithms combining physics constrained or informed machine learning, data assimilation, dimensionality reduction, reinforcement learning and flow control.

Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics
​
We hosted 241 participants and 16 internationally renowned speakers from more than 20 countries for the VKI-ULB lecture series on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics. A huge thanks to the lecturers Steven Brunton, Olivier Le Maître, Luca Magri, George Karniadakis, Soledad Le Clainche, Paola Cinnella, Beverley McKeon, Andrea Ianiro, Bernd R. Noack, Onofrio Semeraro, Stefano Discetti, Philipp Bekemeyer, Omer San, Jackie Chen and in particular to Alessandro Parente, who embarked again in this demanding joint organization.

Hands on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics, II Edition
​
Second edition of the "Hands on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics" completed! This year we focused more on meshless integration of PDEs and turbulence modeling with deep learning and Neural ODEs! Very intense coding session on python and broad coverage of topics in supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning for applications in modeling, dimensionality reduction/filtering, and flow control

Hands on Machine Learning for Fluid Dynamics, I Edition
​
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'.
