中原隨筆 (My days at CYCU)

台南住了20幾年,因為種種因素,來到中原大學任教。懷念台南的好天氣、上下班不太塞車、和美食。秉持共好的精神,紀錄我在中原的所見所聞。

張忠謀自傳 (下冊)

 張忠謀《張忠謀自傳》下冊 (1964-2018),天下,2024 

 「下冊」的第一篇「德儀篇」占全書三分之一篇幅,敘述我自 27 歲至 52 歲黃金年齡的崛起及衰退。德儀時期也是我最為熱情澎湃的年代。德儀讓我「獨上高樓,望盡天涯路」;為此,我無比地感激。但是,它對我的培植也激發了我要登上德儀顛峰的雄心。但是,這雄心是無法實現的;不說別的,只看 1970 年代美國德克薩斯州的客觀環境,就可斷定我的雄心很難很難實現。但是我的痴心,居然使我「明知不可為」的情況下,還在德儀多滯留了 5、6 年,後來連婚姻都賠上了。現在回想,那 5、6 年是多麼絕望的 5、6 年

Some information and papers related to the seminar

(4/9/2025) 許志華 (The original speaker needs to take care of emergency affairs.)

  • Dimitris Bertsimas and Michael Lingzhi Li, Scalable holistic linear regression, Operations Research Letters, Volume 48, Issue 3, May 2020, Pages 203-208.
    • We could not reproduce their results in the paper, so I asked Prof. Li for his code. He told me he finished the paper as a course project (MIT style?!😂), and the codes were stored on another obsolete hard drive.

Optimization in Fusion Energy

Raphael Rosen, The 10-Second Algorithm That Could Unlock Fusion Energy, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, March 16, 2025.

QUADCOIL is a groundbreaking computer code that simplifies the design of stellarator magnets, ensuring plasma shapes remain practical for real-world construction.

Unlike traditional methods, it rapidly predicts magnet complexity, saving time and effort. By integrating engineering constraints early, QUADCOIL helps streamline the path to cost-effective fusion energy.
