Oh dear -- within a day of hearing about this from another professor, I got my first LLM-generated email from an aspiring grad student. It mischaracterized my research (apparently I write lots of mathematical formulas, ha!) and ascribed papers to me that I never wrote, which are basically remixes of common words in my paper titles. If you do this, you will insult the people you want to impress.

Source Identification Problem for a Nonlinear Subdiffusion Equation
The work is devoted to the study of the inverse problem of determining the right-hand side of a nonlinear subdiffusion equation with a Caputo derivative with respect to time. Nonlinearity of the equation means that the right-hand side of the equation depends nonlinearly on the solution of the equation. The inverse problem consists of reconstructing the coefficient of the right-hand side, which depends on both time and spatial variables, under a measurement in an integral form. Similar inverse p…

A visco-plastic constitutive model for accurate densification and shape predictions in powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing
Powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP) is an advanced manufacturing process that produces near net shape parts with high material utilization and uniform microstructures. Despite being used frequently to produce small-scale components, the application of PM-HIP to large-scale components is limited due to inadequate understanding of its complex mechanisms that cause unpredictable post-HIP shape distortions. A computational model can provide necessary information about the intermediate…
