SUMMARY:Exhibition:Window Installation | Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the University’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and professor Jim Cogswell has been invited by the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the University of Michigan Museum of Art to create a set of public window installations in response to the objects in their collections. Titled \"Cosmogonic Tattoos\,\" his project uses adhesive vinyl images applied in saturated colors to windows in the two buildings\, highlighting the role of these museums in the life of our campus community. Through close examination of objects separated from us by deep chronological and cultural divides\, imaginatively transformed within our campus context\, this project celebrates the power of architecture\, ornament\, and material objects to shape knowledge\, historical memory\, and cultural identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Photography into Fiber: ArtPrize Winner
DESCRIPTION:Steve and Ann Loveless both grew up in northwestern lower Michigan and love the nature and beauty of the outdoors. Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents When Pigs Fly: Oil Painting
DESCRIPTION:Professional artist and instructor Gregory Potter believes that anyone can develop artistic skill if they put the work into it. Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Reforming the Word: Martin Luther in Context
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting manuscripts and early printed books from the Special Collections Library\, the exhibit commemorates the 500th anniversary of a pivotal transformation in world history. In 1517\, Martin Luther\, a professor of theology and a monk\, published his scathing critique of indulgences\, a church practice that allowed Christians to buy off time from suffering for one’s sins in the afterlife.\n\nIssued in the provincial town of Wittenberg\, Luther's call for academic debate and reform unleashed a series of events that led to the break-up of Latin Christianity. The Reformations that followed forever altered the lives of those in early modern Europe and beyond.\n\nThe late medieval German lands teemed with innovation. Novel forms of piety emerged\, the demand for practical learning grew\, more universities competed for students\, and wealth from both trade and mining transformed social relations. The dissemination of texts and ideas on an industrial scale via the printing press reshaped communication\, knowledge\, and belief. In this context\, reform—the renewal of a lost standard of the past in the present—became a battle-cry for religious\, economic\, and political change.\n\nAudubon Room hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-6:00pm\, Saturday 10:00am-6:00pm\, Sunday 1:00-6:00pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Searching for Gain: A Journey into Pressure Gain Combustion in Rotating Detonation Engines
DESCRIPTION:Mirko Gamba\, Assistant Professor\, Aerospace Engineering\, University of Michigan\n\nAlthough the concept of using a rotating detonation wave in an enclosed (annular) chamber as a means of effective combustion dates back to the 1960’s\, its use in rotating detonation engines (RDEs) has gained much attention only in recent years because of the thermodynamic benefits it offers in propulsion and power generation systems. The benefit offered by an RDE over conventional constant pressure combustion in traditional systems arises from the fact that chemical energy release occurs at nearly constant volume in a small region across a detonation wave\, rather than in a deflagrating region. Unlike a traditional deflagration-based combustor where a pressure loss up to 5-8% can be experienced\, the constant volume combustion provides an effective compression of the post-combustion gases over that provided by the compression stage. It is this additional compression that results in what is referred to as pressure gain\, which ultimately translates into increased amount of work extracted from the turbine\, making an RDE a pressure gain combustion (PGC) device. In this talk we will give an overview of recent activities on the study of RDEs at U-M. Specifically\, we will discuss an experimental work aimed at investigating the operation and performance characteristics of an RDE operated with different fuel injection schemes and operating conditions. We will focus our attention to one specific configuration\, and we will investigate the characteristics and dynamics of the detonating flowfield in an RDE in an attempt to understand its operation and quantify whether the device can actually produce pressure gain under realistic and practical configurations.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nMirko Gamba is an Assistant Professor in the Aerospace Department. His interests include laser diagnostics for fluids and reacting flows\, low- and high-speed mixing and combustion. His research has focused on experimental investigation of supersonic combustion phenomena in scramjet-type environments\, hypersonic impulse facilities\, development and application of PLIF-based techniques for mixing and thermometry in supersonic flows\, and turbulent nonpremixed combustion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:American Berserk exhibition by Valerie Hegarty
DESCRIPTION:Throughout her career\, Brooklyn-based artist Valerie Hegarty has explored fundamental themes of American history and particularly the legacy of 19th-century American art\, addressing topics such as colonization\, slavery\, Manifest Destiny\, nationalism and environmental degradation. Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Seminar: Rick Lieber\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Richard L. Lieber\, Ph.D.\nProfessor and Chief Scientific Officer\nShirley Ryan Ability Lab and Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Biomedical Engineering\nNorthwestern University\n \n“Biological and Biomechanical Studies of Skeletal Muscle Contractures”\n \nABSTRACT:  Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue\, responding both to level of use and presense of neural input. After stroke\, spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy (CP) altered neural input can result in muscle contractures. We have studied the mechanics and biology of muscle from children with wrist flexion contractures secondary to CP. Dramatic architectural changes are observed in these children whereby sarcomere lengths are dramatically altered relative to patients without upper motor neuron lesions. This suggests dramatic alterations in the regulation of muscle growth in these children. Biomechanical studies of isolated single muscle cells reveal an increased passive modulus and decreased resting sarcomere length suggesting alterations in the cellular cytoskeleton. Similar studies on small bundles of muscle fiber reveal an increase in the compliance of the extracellular matrix and a proliferation of endomysial connective tissue. Thus\, passive biomechanical properties of muscle from children with CP are dramatically altered in ways that are unparalleled by other altered use models. Gene expression profiling reveals a number of “conflicting” biological pathways in spastic muscle. Specifically\, this muscle adapts by altering processes related to extracellular matrix production\, fiber type determination\, fiber hypertrophy and myogenesis. These transcriptional adaptations are not characteristic of muscle adaptations observed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy or limb immobilization. Superimposed upon the dramatic biological and structural adaptations is a loss in the number of satellite cells that are located throughout the muscle. Even the remaining satellite cells have epigenetic changes that can dramatically influence our ability to rehabilitate these muscles. Taken together\, these results support the notion that\, while spasticity is multifactorial and neural in origin\, significant structural alterations in muscle also occur. An understanding of the specific changes that occur in the muscle and extracellular matrix may facilitate the development of new conservative or surgical therapies for this devastating problem.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Technologies and Instruments of War
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion featuring the following presenters and topics:\n\nPamela Ballinger (University of Michigan): Opening Remarks\nHugh Gusterson (George Washington University): “Robotic War”\nAnna Weichselbraun (Stanford University): “Temporal Grammars of Nuclear Expertise: Forestalling the Future of Disarmament”\n\nThis symposium explores possible future directions in the realms of war and peace\, focusing on the inextricably entangled nature of these two spheres. Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She is the author of History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, and human rights in journals that include Comparative Studies in Society and History\, Contemporary European History\, Current Anthropology\, History and Memory\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies\, New Global Studies\, and Past and Present.\n\nHugh Gusterson is professor of anthropology and international affairs at George Washington University. Gusterson is the author of Nuclear Rites (University of California Press\, 1996)\, People of the Bomb (University of Minnesota Press\, 2004)\, and Drone (MIT Press\, 2016). He is co-editor of Cultures of Insecurity (University of Minnesota Press\, 1999)\, The Insecure American (University of California Press\, 2009)\, and Why America’s Top Pundits Are Wrong (University of California Press\, 2005). He has a regular column for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and for the new public anthropology website\, Sapiens. He has also published in the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Boston Globe\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, the Philadelphia Inquirer\, Science\, Nature\, New Scientist\, American Scientist\, and The Sciences. From 2009-2012 Gusterson served on the Executive Board of the American Anthropological Association\, in which capacity he co-chaired the final phase of approval of the Association’s new ethics code. He is president of the American Ethnological Society\, and was a member of the American Anthropological Association’s Task Force on Engagement with Israel/Palestine.\n\nAnna Weichselbraun is a Stanton Nuclear Security Postdoctoral Fellow at CISAC. She received her PhD in anthropology from the University of Chicago in August 2016. Her book manuscript\, based on twenty-four months of ethnographic fieldwork and multi-archival research\, investigates how nuclear safeguards inspectors\, bureaucrats\, and diplomats at the IAEA negotiate the international and institutional boundaries of politics and technology in their working lives. She asks how organizational products such as bureaucratic procedures\, technical inspection reports\, policy papers\, and official diplomatic statements contribute to the logical ordering of technocratic expertise within the IAEA. She is especially interested in how individuals at international organizations communicate across different epistemic paradigms\, and how particular types of speaking become recognized as authoritative and legitimate. To that end she has begun research on recent nuclear disarmament efforts—which include the newly agreed international treaty to ban nuclear weapons—interrogating how shifts in discursive paradigms and logics have succeeded in breaking the decades-long gridlock on hegemonic nuclear norms.\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WHAT POPULISM IS
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Anderson is John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies and Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.  She has taught at UM since 1987\, specializing in moral and \npolitical philosophy\, especially on democratic theory\, egalitarianism and its history\, and the roles of experts and citizens in democratic policy making.\n\nThis talk will explain what populism is and trace its origins to tensions in democracy going back to Rousseau. The speaker will show how populism can be either left-wing or right-wing\, highlight the characteristic messages of populist leaders\, and argue that populism\, although cast as a fulfillment of democracy\, is a threat to it as well as to sound public policy formation.\n\nThis is the second in a six-lecture series. The subject is Populism: The Common People in Modern Politics. The next lecture series will start January 11\, 2018. The title is Architecture: Shaping Buildings\; Shaping Us.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Going Small: The Advantage of Nanosatellites
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT —The exploration of space has long been dominated by large flagship missions\, costing hundreds of millions of dollars and timescales spanning entire careers. The rise of nanosatellites\, specifically beginning with the invention of the Cubesat in 1999\, has created a new entrepreneurial growth within the space industry. Advances in power efficiency and miniaturization of electronics has allowed nanosatellites to become more complex in their function.\n\nExamples of the advantages of nanosatellites and their utility will be presented along with the complexities and challenges of integrating such highly dependent systems. This presentation will discuss how Cubesats have evolved from their humble University origins to the industry they are today.\n\nBIO — Hannah Goldberg (BSE MSE EE ‘03 ‘04) is a senior systems engineer at GomSpace\, a commercial provider of Cubesat components\, platforms\, and solutions located in Aalborg\, Denmark. At GomSpace\, Hannah is currently the technical lead in the development of a constellation of communications satellites.\n\nPrior to GomSpace\, Hannah was one of the first few technical employees at Planetary Resources\, where she worked on projects to advance the technologies leading to asteroid prospecting and mining. She was the lead systems engineer for Planetary Resources’ first few Cubesat missions.\n\nHannah also previously worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the Guidance\, Navigation and Control hardware group. There she worked on various microspacecraft research and development projects. She was avionics lead for the Mars Science Laboratory radar field test team\, testing aspects of the landing system on platforms such as helicopters and an F-18. At JPL\, Hannah also worked on the instrument calibration team for the Orbiting Carbon Observatory missions (both OCO and OCO-2).\n\nHannah received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2003 and 2004. During her time at Michigan she was involved with the Student Space Systems Fabrication Laboratory and the Icarus satellite project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Portraiture
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Portraiture presents a contemporary spin on traditional notions of portraiture. In the video Towards An Architect\, Hannu Karjalainen portrays a fictional architect who is experiencing the response of people living in the structures he designed. Daniel Rozin’s Mirror No. 10 is driven by software\, written by the artist\, that generates a real-time reflection of the environment the screen is displayed in—specifically a live sketch of the viewer approaching the frame. Mesocosm (Northumberland\, UK) is an algorithmic work by Marina Zurkow that depicts the passage of time on the moors of Northeast England.\n\nMoving Image: Portraiture is the third of three exhibitions drawn from the collection of the Borusan Contemporary\, Istanbul\, which since 2011 has been focused on media arts. The works in this series address both formal concerns and conceptual topics\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\n\nLead support for Moving Image: Portraiture is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Before colonization\, complex hierarchical societies flourished in Central and West Africa. At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A physical model for efficient ranking in networks
DESCRIPTION:In systems of many individual entities\, interactions and their outcomes are often defined by hierarchies or rankings. While in most cases these rankings are hidden from us\, their presence is nevertheless revealed in the asymmetric patterns of interactions that we observe. For example\, social groups of birds\, primates\, and elephants are organized according to dominance hierarchies in which more powerful animals assert themselves over those less powerful. Social positions are not directly visible to researchers\, but we can infer each animal’s position in social space by observing a sufficient number of interactions. Similar latent hierarchies exist in systems of endorsement in which status is due to prestige or reputation. For example\, in academia\, universities are more likely to hire faculty candidates from equally or more prestigious universities. \n\nI will present a principled model and algorithm called SpringRank to infer such latent hierarchies directly from data. By mapping a network of directed interactions to a physical system\, this ranking process becomes as fast as your favorite sparse linear solver. Unlike other methods such as minimum violation ranking\, SpringRank assigns real-valued scores to nodes rather than simply ordinal ranks\, and it formalizes the assumption that interactions are more likely to occur between individuals with similar ranks. It provides a natural framework for a statistical significance test for distinguishing when the inferred hierarchy is due to the network topology or is instead due to random chance\, and it can be used to perform inference tasks such as predicting the existence or direction of edges. I'll illustrate these findings by analyzing real and synthetic data and show that our method outperforms others\, in both speed and accuracy\, in recovering the underlying ranks and predicting edge directions. This work is a collaboration with Caterina De Bacco and Cris Moore.\n\nFree and Open to the Public\nLight Refreshments\nPlease contact cscs@umich.edu if accommodations are necessary.

The efforts to determine the symposium theme\, the artwork for the event booklet\, and speakers for the symposium are determined from a dedicated group of students\, faculty\, staff and administrators across campus. \n\nWe welcome any interested individuals who are passionate about social justice\, civil and human rights\, and UM’s role in creating a dynamic program that honors Dr. King to attend our monthly meetings. They are informal\, please attend when you would like. Each meeting focuses on finalizing a piece of the symposium events\, sharing department or org events\, and always reflecting on current affairs\, with an emphasis on mindfulness and community. \n\nSTUDENTS! (undergrad\, grad\, professional\, etc) We need your voice at the table!\n\nMore information about putting your event in the booklet or online\, the history of speakers\, and other ways to get involved\, please visit mlksymposium.umich.edu hosted and sponsored by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI).\n\nPlease email mlksymposiuminfo@umich.edu if you plan on attending an upcoming meeting\, so that we may have an accurate food count.\n\nThe theme for the 2018 Symposium is The Fierce Urgency of Now. This theme calls us to claim ownership of the challenges we face and not leave it for future generations to address. Amidst technological advancements and increased global connections\, much work still needs to be done to heal the wounds of our past\, and resolve the injustices of our present. The Fierce Urgency of Now compels us to not only act\, but to also acknowledge that the absence of action and the continuation of silence\, serves to bring us deeper into the shadows of division.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Early State Formation in Japan: View from Eastern Periphery
DESCRIPTION:This paper reports results of my fieldwork of several mound tombs in the old province of Hitachi in eastern Japan\, 50 miles northeast of Tokyo. The mound tombs are dated to the fifth\, sixth and early seventh centuries\, A.D. or the Middle and Late Kofun Period. The Kofun Period is characterized by the sharing of standardized keyhole-shaped form for elite mound tombs\, which is distinguished from the preceding Yayoi Period when mortuary customs were regionally distinctive. Japanese archaeologists\, especially those trained at the Kyoto University\, have previously argued that the sharing of the mound form was a reflection of the strong\, centralized state. In other words\, the highest-ranking chief in the central polity distributed mound-construction plan to local elites as a symbol of control over local regions. However\, the results of my fieldwork since 1999 indicate that several aspects of elite mortuary customs in eastern Japan are regionally distinctive. This suggests to me that local elites in eastern Japan\, while influenced by the central polity to some extent\, had considerable degree of freedom to maintain and practice their own customs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Jenny Hsieh\, Ph.D.\, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nEpilepsy affects 3 million Americans each year\, and about one-third of patients are drug-resistant. Therefore\, we need to understand the causes and mechanisms of both acquired and genetic epilepsies to translate into better treatment options. Dr. Hsieh will discuss two topics: (1) the role of adult-generated neurons in epileptogenesis\, and (2) the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells and 3D orgnaoids to model childhood epilepsies.\n\nSpeaker:\nJenny Hsieh received her B.S. in biochemistry at University of California\, San Diego. She then obtained a Ph.D. in biology at the Johns Hopkins University\, where she studied context-dependent gene silencing in C. elegans under the mentorship of Andrew Fire. She was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences\, working with Fred Gage. Jenny joined the faculty of UT Southwestern Medical Center in 2005 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. She received the NIH K02 Independent Science Award in 2012.\n\nBoxed lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Technologies and Instruments of Peace
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion featuring the following presenters and topics:\nPamela Ballinger (University of Michigan): \"Humanitarian Futures\"\nSusan Waltz (University of Michigan): \"Finding Political Will to Implement the 2013 Arms Trade\nTreaty\"\nChaired by Fatma Müge Göçek (University of Michigan)\n\nThis symposium explores possible future directions in the realms of war and peace\, focusing on the inextricably entangled nature of these two spheres. Technologies of war and violence\, such as drones and nuclear weapons/energy\, for instance\, also possess many peacetime functions. Humanitarianism similarly blurs the lines between war and peace\, given that humanitarian initiatives may not only respond to situations of war but may aim to forestall it–sometimes through preemptive military actions. With the rise of unconventional and robotic warfare\, too\, the \"front\" becomes a hybrid of fighting and governance\, raising pointed questions as to the future boundaries between civilian and soldier. The three panels comprising this symposium explore these and many other timely issues.\n\nPamela Ballinger is Fred Cuny Professor of the History of Human Rights and associate professor of history at the University of Michigan. She is the author of History in Exile: Memory and Identity at the Borders of the Balkans (Princeton University Press\, 2003). She has published on topics such as refugees\, displacement\, ethnic cleansing\, and human rights in journals that include Comparative Studies in Society and History\, Contemporary European History\, Current Anthropology\, History and Memory\, Journal of Modern Italian Studies\, New Global Studies\, and Past and Present.\n\nFatma Müge Göçek is a professor of sociology and women's studies at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of history\, politics and gender in the first and third worlds. She critically analyzes the impact of processes such as development\, nationalism\, religious movements and collective violence on minorities.\n\nSusan Waltz is professor of public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. Both a scholar and a practitioner in the field of international human rights\, she began her career as an area specialist\, focusing on the North African countries of Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria. Over the past twenty years she has conducted research on North African regional politics and the local human rights movement. More recently\, her research has focused on the historical origins of international human rights instruments and the political processes that produced them. She is co-author of the website Human Rights Advocacy and the History of International Human Rights Standards (http://humanrightshistory.umich.edu).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester event is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Defense: A framework to Augment Turbulence Models Using Full-field Inversion and Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Aerospace Engineering PhD Candidate: Anand Pratap Singh\, Dissertation Chair: Associate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\n\nAbstract\nAccurate prediction of turbulent flows remains a barrier to the widespread use of computational fluid dynamics for analysis and design. This thesis presents a generalized framework of physics-based data-augmented modeling\, which we refer to as field-inversion and machine learning (FIML). FIML is utilized to develop augmentations to Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes based models using high fidelity simulation data and experimental measurements. This framework involves the solution of multiple inverse problems to infer spatial discrepancies in a baseline turbulence model.  Several such discrepancy fields are used as inputs to a machine learning procedure\, to reconstruct corrective functional forms in terms of local flow quantities. The machine-learned discrepancy is embedded in existing turbulence models and used in a predictive setting.\n\nThe FIML framework is applied to augment the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) and the Wilcox's k-omega model for flows involving curvature\, adverse pressure gradients\, and massive separation. The value of the framework is demonstrated in a number of applications\, most notably by augmenting the SA model with the goal of improving separated flow predictions over airfoils using limited experimental data. The portability of the approach is demonstrated by embedding the data-augmented module developed using an in-house compressible finite-volume solver in a commercial incompressible finite-element solver. Overall\, this work highlights the promise of using data to comprehensively augment physics-based models to obtain improved predictive models of complex phenomena. \n\nDissertation Committee:\nAssociate Professor Karthik Duraisamy\, Chair \nProfessor Krishnakumar R.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Workshop and Exhibit. Crafting Communities in Oaxaca: Drawing Inspiration from Ancient Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:INTERACTIVE DEMONSTRATION\nNovember 9\, 2017\n2:30 - 6:00 PM\n2435 North Quad\nFor generations\, the Fabian family from Oaxaca\, Mexico has created alebrijes\, whimsical wooden figurines. The pieces are inspired by nature and archaeology. The Fabian family uses traditional carving techniques combined with pre-hispanic design motifs from the ancient settlement outside their village of San Martin Tilcajete. Please join us for a live and interactive demonstration of woodcarving and painting techniques. The audience is invited to paint their own pieces with help from the artisans\, ask questions\, and see the artists in action.\n\nWOODCARVING EXHIBIT \nNovember 10\, 2017\, 3:00 – 8:00 PM\nMichigan League\, Kalamazoo Room \nFocusing on the intersection between art and archaeology\, this exhibit features traditional Oaxacan woodcarvings called alebrijes. These pieces are the product of a collaboration between the community of San Martin Tilcajete and University of Michigan researchers. The Fabian family assisted in the excavation and analysis of archaeological artifacts from the site in their village. They have drawn inspiration from this experience to create a series of alebrijes celebrating the pre-hispanic design motifs found on artifacts recovered from ancient Zapotec houses. Through their pieces\, they combine traditional woodcarving techniques with ancient motifs in an innovative celebration of contemporary\, historical\, and ancient art from Oaxaca\, Mexico.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MICROELECTRONICS\, MEMS\, AND MICROSYSTEMS: A Sixty-Year Fantastic Voyage
DESCRIPTION:Ken Wise is responsible for numerous technologies and devices used around the world and now enabling the “Internet of Things” (IoT).  These include pressure\, flow\, and uncooled-infrared sensors\; integrated interface circuits\; and implantable microsystems for cardiovascular\, intraocular\, and neural disorders.  He was one of the early leaders establishing the field of integrated sensors\, now known as MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS).  Under NIH funding from 1981 until 2007\, he led development of the “Michigan Probes” for exploring the central nervous system at the cellular level\, providing over 7500 microprobes to the neuroscience community and pioneering work on neural interfaces.   Between 1984 and 1998 he led the SRC Program in Automated Semiconductor Manufacturing\, an SRC Center of Excellence\, and from 2000 until 2010 he directed the NSF Engineering Research Center for Wireless Integrated Microsystems\, working on chromatography-based gas analysis systems and on implantable microsystems.  Wise has advised 60 PhD students and is the author of nearly 150 journal articles\, 350 archival conference papers\, and 38 patents.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Microbial activity and assembly in the world's oldest desert
DESCRIPTION:Microbes are ubiquitous on Earth\, yet the drivers that regulate microbial activity and shape microbial diversity are not clear\, particularly in dry ecosystems. I present work from the hyperarid Namib Desert\, Namibia\, a model dune system that has revealed overlooked controls on decomposition as well as unique dispersal vectors for microbes\, like coastal fog. This provides a insight into how microbes survive under extreme water stress\, and how we understand the ecology of the 40% of land surface occupied by drylands.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/ixTDJy6G26s

SUMMARY:Other:Mark Doty & Fernanda Eberstadt
DESCRIPTION:Since the publication of his first volume of verse\, Turtle\, Swan\, in 1987\, MARK DOTY has been recognized as one of the most accomplished poets in America. Hailed for his elegant\, intelligent verse\, Doty has often been compared to James Merrill\, Walt Whitman and C.P. Cavafy. His syntactically complex and aesthetically profound free verse poems\, odes to urban gay life\, and quietly brutal elegies to his lover\, Wally Roberts\, have been hailed as some of the most original and arresting poetry written today. The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships\, Doty has also won a number of prestigious literary awards\, including the Whiting Writer’s Award\, the T. S. Eliot Prize\, the National Poetry Series\, the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award\, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for first nonfiction\, and the National Book Award for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems (2008). A long-time resident of Provincetown\, Massachusetts\, Doty teaches at Rutgers University in New Jersey.\n\nDescribed by John Updike as an “ambitious\, resourceful novelist\,” FERNANDA EBERSTADT is the author of Low Tide\, Isaac and His devils\, When the Sons of Heaven Meet the Daughters of the Earth\, The Furies\, and Rat. The New York Times Book Review praised Rat as “shrewd and sensuous\,” hailing “Eberstadt's preoccupation with \"the footloose life of the wilfully dispossessed\" and writes that \"in her novels\, idealists and fast trackers wrestle with thorny problems of love and social identity.\" In 1998\, Eberstadt went to live on a vineyard in the French Pyrenees\, outside the city of Perpignan. She became friends with a family of French gypsy musicians. Her first work of non-fiction\, Little Money Street—In Search of Gypsies and Their Music in the South of France\, which portrays that friendship\, was released by Knopf in March 2006. Eberstadt also writes extensively for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, Vogue\, and Vanity Fair.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Zell Visiting Writers Series: Mark Doty and Fernanda Eberstadt\, Poetry and Prose
DESCRIPTION:Since the publication of his first volume of verse\, Turtle\, Swan\, in 1987\, Mark Doty has been recognized as one of the most accomplished poets in America. Hailed for his elegant\, intelligent verse\, Doty has often been compared to James Merrill\, Walt Whitman and C.P. Cavafy. His syntactically complex and aesthetically profound free verse poems\, odes to urban gay life\, and quietly brutal elegies to his lover\, Wally Roberts\, have been hailed as some of the most original and arresting poetry written today. The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships\, Doty has also won a number of prestigious literary awards\, including the Whiting Writer’s Award\, the T. S. Eliot Prize\, the National Poetry Series\, the Los Angeles Times Book Award\, the National Book Critics’ Circle Award\, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for first nonfiction\, and the National Book Award for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems (2008). A long-time resident of Provincetown\, Massachusetts\, Doty teaches at Rutgers University in New Jersey.\n \nDescribed by John Updike as an “ambitious\, resourceful novelist\,” Fernanda Eberstadt is the author of Low Tide\, Isaac and His devils\, When the Sons of Heaven Meet the Daughters of the Earth\, The Furies\, and Rat. The New York Times Book Review praised Rat as “shrewd and sensuous\,” hailing “Eberstadt's preoccupation with \"the footloose life of the wilfully dispossessed\" and writes that \"in her novels\, idealists and fast trackers wrestle with thorny problems of love and social identity.\" In 1998\, Eberstadt went to live on a vineyard in the French Pyrenees\, outside the city of Perpignan. She became friends with a family of French gypsy musicians. Her first work of non-fiction\, Little Money Street—In Search of Gypsies and Their Music in the South of France\, which portrays that friendship\, was released by Knopf in March 2006. Eberstadt also writes extensively for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, Vogue\, and Vanity Fair. \n\nUMMA is pleased to be the site for the Zell Visiting Writers Series\, which brings outstanding writers each semester. The Series is made possible through a generous gift from U-M alumna Helen Zell (AB ’64\, LLDHon ’13). For more information\, please visit the Zell Visiting Writers Series webpage.
