Boris Kramer - Robust Design Optimization - IPAM at UCLA

Recorded 12 March 2026. Boris Kramer of the University of California, San Diego, presents "Robust Design Optimization" at IPAM's Multi-Fidelity Methods for Fusion Energy Tutorials.
Abstract: Reliable, robust and risk-averse design of complex engineering systems with optimized performance requires dealing with uncertainties. A conventional approach is to add ad-hoc safety margins to a design that was obtained from deterministic optimization. Safer engineering designs require appropriate cost and constraint function definitions that capture statistics and distributional information about the unwanted system behavior, which becomes stochastic in the presence of uncertainties. In this tutorial, we will start by discussing the modeling of uncertainties in complex systems, and then present various approaches to design systems in the presence of uncertainties, such as risk-based design optimization (RiBDO), reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) as well as robust design optimization (RDO). For each approach, we will offer several areas of active research and established methods to implement such.

TubeReader video aggregator is a website that collects and organizes online videos from the YouTube source. Video aggregation is done for different purposes, and TubeReader take different approaches to achieve their purpose.

Our try to collect videos of high quality or interest for visitors to view; the collection may be made by editors or may be based on community votes.

Another method is to base the collection on those videos most viewed, either at the aggregator site or at various popular video hosting sites.

TubeReader site exists to allow users to collect their own sets of videos, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others; TubeReader can develop online communities around video sharing.

Our site allow users to create a personalized video playlist, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others.

What is YouTube?

YouTube is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch online videos. You can even create and upload your own videos to share with others. Originally created in 2005, YouTube is now one of the most popular sites on the Web, with visitors watching around 6 billion hours of video every month.
