sustainability and ethical issues, assessment challenges of the
overall performance of a system as opposed to the detailed
functions of a component, as well as establishing criteria for,
and transparency of decision making. This plenary addresses
the above deficiencies from a holistic perspective, accounting
for issues in communications, teamwork across discipline and
geographic borders, and project/design status visualization.
Lean Education’s role as a holistic perspective and as a
curricular innovation capable of developing the competencies
missing in the current engineering curricula that bridge the gap Models and Measurements
between the academic and professional worlds. The talk
covers sustainability and systems concepts of Lean Education,
identification of strategies and weaknesses in current curricula,
competencies and skills needed to an organizational health
and Lean Education’s capability in providing content and
competency mastery pulled by stakeholders (society,
employers, faculty, students).
Bio: Anabela C. Alves, an expert in lean education, is a faculty both measurements and models. Under sponsorship of the

Using Uncertainty Quantification With HPC to Reconcile
(IMECE2019-14000)
Philip Smith
Institute for Clean and Secure Energy
Presentation
Abstract: Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification (UQ)
provide the opportunity to identify model form uncertainty in
US DOE NNSA we have used HPC (10 - 250 thousand cores)
with scalable large eddy simulations (LES) for utility scale
(100–1000 MW) particle-laden pulverized coal and biomass
power boilers. We have found that these UQ-methods have
allowed us to use data from models and measurements to
extrapolate from laboratory scale experiments to full-scale
predictions. The resulting Bayesian posterior predictive
includes the effect of uncertainty from model parameters,
scenario parameters, and model form uncertainty in both the
instrument models and the predictive physics-based LES
models.
Bio: Philip Smith is presently Director, Institute for Clean and
Secure Energy (ICSE), University of Utah; a Professor in the
Director, Carbon Capture Multidisciplinary Simulation Center
(CCMSC), a U.S. Dept. of Energy NNSA Predictive Science
Academic Alliance Program Center. He is also Chair, American
Flame Research Committee (AFRC), a national committee of
the International Flame Research Foundation, Liverno, Italy
and President of CRSim Inc., a Utah company. Professor Smith
has also served as department chair, Chemical Engineering,
University of Utah (2000–2007); cofounder and vice-president,
Reaction Engineering International (1990–1997); head of the
Combustion Computations Laboratory, Advanced Combustion
Engineering Research Center (ACERC), an NSF – ERC,
Brigham Young University (1984–1990); staff member, Los
Alamos National Laboratory, Energy (Q) Division (1982–1983);
and Assistant and Associate Professor, Brigham Young
University (1979–1990).
