Chris Rackauckas
Dr. Chris Rackauckas is the VP of Modeling and Simulation at JuliaHub, the Director of Scientific Research at Pumas-AI, Co-PI of the Julia Lab at MIT, and the lead developer of the SciML Open Source Software Organization. For his work in mechanistic machine learning, his work is credited for the 15,000x acceleration of NASA Launch Services simulations and recently demonstrated a 60x-570x acceleration over Modelica tools in HVAC simulation, earning Chris the US Air Force Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Scientific Excellence Award. See more at https://chrisrackauckas.com/. He is the lead developer of the Pumas project and has received a top presentation award at every ACoP in the last 3 years for improving methods for uncertainty quantification, automated GPU acceleration of nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NLME), and machine learning assisted construction of NLME models with DeepNLME. For these achievements, Chris received the Emerging Scientist award from ISoP.
Sessions
Acausal modeling tools such as ModelingToolkit, Modelica, and Simscape are widely used for industrial modeling, simulated real-world phenomena such as hydraulic, HVAC, and multibody systems. In this tutorial we will dive into how to easily build large-scale high-fidelity models with ModelingToolkit and use its embedding within the Julia programming language in order to transform high level descriptions into simpler equations and simulate the resulting models with the tools of Julia's SciML.
JuliaHub has been developing JuliaSim - a modern modeling and simulation tool that leverages Julia and ModelingToolkit.jl’s unique capabilities. In this talk, we will show how JulaSim’s capabilities are being used across industrial, automotive and aviation firms. Gary Mansouri, Chief Architect of Systems MBE at Boeing, will join us for a conversation on the process of model based design.

Julia's SciML represents nearly a hundred of some of the most widely used Julia packages. How's it doing? In this talk we will discuss many of the latest improvements, where we are lacking, and the near future roadmap. This is made to be a celebration of our wins and an appreciation of our lingering challenges, highlighting to the community what to be proud of but also what needs more time to cook.
Julia's SciML is a large ecosystem of numerical solvers, modeling tools, utility libraries, and much more. What are the guiding principles of what makes "a SciML library"? In this talk we will go into detail about the contribution and code practices of the SciML organization. We will highlight how we've made the interfaces more concrete, the continuous benchmarking practices, high-level error messages, and other improvements seen throughout the last few years.
What do you need? Come to this BoF to discuss how you are using SciML today, what issues you are running into, and what needs to be done for improving the future of Julia's SciML stack!
