I heard that @ChrisRackauckas is scheduled to give a talk at the TU Delft, NL on Thursday, September 12th.
I would like to spread the word. Is there any announcement of this event?
What is the topic, time, location?

Seminar Announcement
eScienceCenter - DIAM TU Delft Seminar by Dr. Chris Rackauckas (VP JuliaHub)
Date: Thursday, September 12th, from 16:00 to 17:00
Location: Lecture hall B (Isaac Newton) at the faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the TU Delft
Abstract - The talk will briefly introduce the Julia programming language (http://julialang.org), some of its advanced techniques and its application in scientific computing. Julia is becoming increasing popular as a programming language in scientific computing applications. Julia is deployed in both prototyping and large scale settings. Distinct features of Julia include the use of automatic differentiation to compute Jacobians in solving differential equations, easy access to programming models for distributed memory applications and gateways to GPU computations.
Bio - 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.
Seminar chair: The seminar will be chaired by Dr. Josue Melguizo-Gavilanes (Shell Amsterdam).
Directions to Lecture hall B (Isaac Newton) at the faculty of Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering at the TU Delft: Faculteit Mechanical Engineering
The seminar is expected to be followed by a Julia Meetup at the TU Delft. Details on this meet-up will be made available with the #dutchlocal channel of the Julia slack pages.
