SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits\, Solutions\, and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb\, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors\, prioritizing work\, school\, socializing\, sports\, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible\, something that can be made up at any time\, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately\, they could not be more wrong.\n\nThe truth is\, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes\, reduces productivity\, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD\, depression\, heart attack\, stroke\, arrhythmia\, heart failure\, and early death.\n\nThis Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works\, why it is important\, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Teach- Out Series: Free Speech in Journalism
DESCRIPTION:A free press is essential for a healthy\, vibrant\, democratic society. Yet public trust in journalism has hit historic lows in recent years and journalists have recently been openly maligned for their work. This Teach-Out prompts participants to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of journalists in a free society. Why is the concept of a free press written into the First Amendment? How are the rights of journalists threatened? Is this a unique moment in history? How have new modes of reporting\, such as social media and citizen journalism\, made the press more vulnerable? And\, finally\, what are the broader societal implications of a restricted and diminished press?\n\nThis Teach-Out is part of the University of Michigan 2018 Speech and Inclusion Series that aims to recognize differing views on speech and inclusion\, to explore how those views play out in politics\, culture\, higher education\, sports\, and journalism\, and to engage in productive conversations to promote a positive campus environment and help the community more deeply understand these complicated issues.\n\nA Teach-Out is:\n\n-an event – it takes place over a fixed\, short period of time\n\n-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world\n\n-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals\n\n-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people\n\nThe University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community\, including faculty experts.

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.

His artist residency and interdisciplinary project \"Border Crossers\" encourages investigation of borders as constructed entities\, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national\, architectural\, environmental\, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.\n\nIn February\, MacMurtrie and the students will launch the robotic sculpture during two \"performances\" and MacMurtrie will give a special Penny W. Stamps Lecture. The gallery exhibition will include large-scale drawings which serve as plans and maps for MacMurtrie's visionary Border Crossers. Life-size robotic models will also be presented in the exhibition in conversation with the drawings. The models\, built by the all-student team with MacMurtrie's guidance\, are prototypes for the project\, offering preliminary steps in the workshop and the process towards realizing the large scale robotic sculpture.\n\nChico MacMurtrie is the Artistic Director of Amorphic Robot Works\, an interdisciplinary creative collective located in Brooklyn\, NY. MacMurtrie/ARW have received numerous awards for their experimental new media artworks\, including five grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation Grant\, the Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship\, VIDA Life 11.0\, and Prix Ars Electronica. Chico MacMurtrie was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship in Fine Arts in 2016.\n\nVisiting artist Chico MacMurtrie's residency and project is sponsored by the U-M Institute for the Humanities in collaboration with  U-M Museum of Art\, Michigan Robotics\, Michigan Engineering\, School of Information\, Penny Stamps Speaker Series\, Stamps School of Art and Design\, and ArtsEngin.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:EXHIBITION ON VIEW: DRAWING CODES: EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOLS OF ARCHITECTURAL REPRESENTATION
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on-view March 7 - 28\n\nEmerging technologies of design and production have opened up new ways to engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing. The twenty-four experimental drawings commissioned for this exhibition explore the impact of such technologies on the relationship between code and drawing: how rules and constraints inform the ways architects document\, analyze\, represent\, and design the built environment.\n\nEach drawing engages with at least one of the below prompts that begin to expand the notion of code as it relates to architectural design and representation:\n\nCode as generative constraint. Restrictive codes often govern what is permitted and what is prohibited. Examples of this include building codes\, urban codes\, zoning codes\, accessibility codes\, and energy codes. How can such constraints become generative\, opening up opportunities for design and representation?\nCode as language. A code can be understood as a set of rules\, conventions\, and traditions of syntax and grammar that structure the communication of information. The discipline of architecture similarly has its own language of typologies\, taxonomies\, and classifications. How can drawing engage with such architectural languages?\nCode as cipher. Encoded or encrypted messages are intended to hide or conceal information. Likewise\, architectural geometries\, forms\, spaces\, and assemblies are embedded with invisible organizational\, social\, political\, or economic logics that may not be immediately evident. How can drawing engage with these latent meanings and messages?\nCode as script. A code can be understood as a script or a recipe: a set of instructions to be executed or performed by a computer\, a robot\, or (in the case of theater or film)\, an actor. Scripts often produce unexpected discrepancies between the intent of the code and how it is executed. How can drawing explore these open-ended processes that may not have a defined outcome?\nThe invited architects were asked to conform to a set of strict rules: consistent dimension\, black & white medium\, and limiting the drawing to orthographic projection. The intent is for this consistency to emphasize the wide range of approaches to questions of technology\, design\, and representation. Yet within this considerable diversity of medium\, aesthetic sensibility\, and content\, several common qualities emerge. First is the unsure link between code and outcome: glitches\, bugs\, accidents\, anomalies\, but also loopholes\, deviations\, variances\, and departures that open up new potentials for architectural design and representation. Second is a mature embrace of technology not as a fetishized end game\, but as an instrument employed synthetically in concert with other architectural “tools of the trade.” And finally\, these drawings demonstrate how conventions of architectural representation remain fertile territory for invention and speculation.\n\nAt the show's initial run at CCA in San Francisco\, an adjacent gallery featured work by CCA Architecture students in Kinematic Code\, a course taught by Clayton Muhleman that has been exploring procedural and robotic drawing techniques.\n\nPanel discussion Tuesday\, March 6 at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Auditorium\, followed by opening reception in the College Gallery. Exhibition on view March 7 - March 28.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Interior Streets
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9\, 3pm\, for a reception and Carl Wilson in conversation with our curator Amanda Krugliak.\n\nThe \"Interior Streets\" exhibition features the work of Detroit artist Carl Wilson\, known for his stark black and white linocut prints. The self-taught artist sees himself as a documentarian of lives easily ignored in a world obsessed with materialism and celebrity. His work frequently highlights not only the strength found in conquering the everyday and mundane\, but also the pain and defeat of those not able to rise to the occasion. His love of film noir and pulp fiction novels from the 1940s and '50s has led him to experiment with minimalist animation and comic book illustration. He embraces the whimsy hidden in the darkness.\n\nCarl is the recipient of a 2013 Kresge Artist Fellowship and is an alumni of the historic Yaddo Artists’ Community. During his residency there he carved the prints for\, and wrote the book\, Her Purse Smelled like Juicyfruit\, a recollection of his mother’s life. Carl was named 2014 guest curator of Detroit’s Carr Center. Also in 2014 Complex Online Magazine named him one of Twenty Detroit Artists You Should Know. He was featured in Essay'd\, a monthly publication about Detroit artists. 2017 sees the release of a comic book\, the first installment of his graphic novel\, Dead and Lost in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours are 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Tuesday–Saturday and 12–5 p.m. Sunday\; galleries are closed on Mondays.\n\nThis exhibition celebrates Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. A pioneering female gallerist\, Kasle provided midwest audiences with a venue in which to experience avant-garde art from centers like New York City\, while also supporting and exhibiting regional artists. Featuring a collection of paintings\, works on paper\, and sculptures from the height of the Abstract Expressionist movement through the early twenty-first century\, 'Exercising the Eye' speaks to the relationships Kasle fostered with local\, national\, and international artists and her appreciation for artistic expression and experimentation. Critical voices from the last fifty years include Philip Guston\, Jane Hammond\, Grace Hartigan\, Jasper Johns\, Michele Oka Doner\, and Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore a dynamic moment in Detroit’s cultural history and insight into Kasle’s love of looking and learning.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:New at UMMA: Paul Rand
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the second half of the twentieth century\, pioneering art director and graphic designer Paul Rand (1914–1996) was celebrated for crafting the brand identities of such American corporate icons as ABC\, IBM\, UPS\, and Westinghouse. Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter
DESCRIPTION:Australian artist Patricia Piccinini’s strange\, hyperreal yet sentimental sculptures are often rooted in her speculative visualizations of future species—beings transformed by\, or even created by\, developments in genetic engineering and technology.  On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s\, British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have been known for their shadow sculptures built from materials as diverse as scrap metal\, garbage\, taxidermy\, and sex toys. When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag Series | Empirical Determination of the Dark Matter Velocity Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Using the hydrodynamic simulation Eris\, as well as various realizations of the Milky Way from the FIRE simulation\, we found that the kinematics of dark matter follows closely the kinematics of old metal poor stars. We use this correspondence to obtain the first empirical measurement of the local velocity distribution of dark matter\, by first analyzing the Gaia data release coupled with RAVE as well as the ninth release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and computing the velocity distribution of metal poor stars. We find that this velocity distribution is peaked at lower velocities than the generally assumed Maxwell Boltzmann distribution\, leading to a weakening of direct detection limits at dark matter masses less than 10 GeV by a factor of a few. We also found a few kinematic outliers in the stellar data that might be hints of dark matter substructure.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Race and Attitudes toward First Ladies from Hillary Clinton to Michelle Obama
DESCRIPTION:First ladies are understudied political actors in American politics. Though their role is informal\, citizens develop trong attitudes toward them. In the case of Michelle Obama\, the first black First Lady\, there is strong evidence to suggest that racial attitudes informed citizen perceptions of Mrs. Obama in ways that would not have been applicable to other first ladies. This presentation will explore this question using an original dataset which asked detailed approval questions of first ladies Hillary Clinton\, Laura Bush and Michelle Obama (as well as prospective questions about Melania Trump).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Mystery Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Mystery lovers\, this is the group for you. Instead of reading familiar authors\, we will be searching for new talent. So\, bring a list of your favorite authors and share them with us. \n\nEach month the group will select an author and you can read a book of your choice from that author’s repertoire. The following month we will discuss the author’s ideas and writing techniques to learn how they are applied across his/her books. We will also talk about what we liked or disliked about the books we read. Please read any book by Alafair Burke for the first session.\n\nThis study group for those 50 and over will be led by instructor Sydney Kaufman.  In order to allow time for the readings between classes\, the group will be held on March 14\, April 11\, May 9\, June 13\, and July 11.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELLED Educating Student Activists in Divisive Times
DESCRIPTION:Update as of 3/12/18: due to inclement weather Mariame had to cancel her visit to our campus. We will be in touch if we are able to reschedule her visit. \n\nThe election of Donald Trump has catalyzed historic levels of activism around the country. The Women’s March on the day after the inauguration in 2017 is considered to be the largest single day demonstration ever. However\, students have been organizing in large numbers\, notably after the killing of Trayvon Martin\, which catalyzed the Black Lives Matter movement.\n\nIn this workshop\, educator and organizer Mariame Kaba will illuminate the long history of activism for change\, especially those with youth at the center. She will draw from recent examples of students engaging and creating social change\, as well as her own history of organizing\, to illuminate the pitfalls and promises of this current moment. This session will highlight how educators can effectively support and challenge students engaged in activism.\n\n*This event is for Faculty and Staff. See MHappenings for Graduate Student session.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Depression on College Campuses Conference Closing Keynote Address: Strategic Engagements: UCLA Depression Grand Challenge & Resilience Peer Network
DESCRIPTION:In the past decade\, UCLA has developed a network of services to support student wellness across an array of domains extending far beyond health and mental health. Despite these efforts\, the steady rise in mental health service demands has continued to exert pressure on CAPS services leading to reduced appointment availability and lengthy wait-times for students needing less than crisis or emergent care. The UCLA Depression Grand Challenge is partnered with Campus & Student Resilience to train and engage students in a Resilience Peer Network to support the delivery of a robust evidence based internet cognitive behavioral therapy to students screened for mild to moderate depression and anxiety. This talk provides a preliminary overview of our findings\, and describes our successes in bringing a scalable screening\, early intervention\, treatment\, and resilience-building program embedded in research to our students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Efficient Hardware and Methods for Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The current resurgence of artificial intelligence is due to advances in deep learning. Systems based on deep learning now exceed human capability in speech recognition\, object classification\, and playing games like Go. Deep learning has been enabled by powerful\, efficient computing hardware. The algorithms used have been around since the 1980s\, but it has only been in the last few years - when powerful GPUs became available to train networks - that the technology has become practical. This talk will review the current state of deep learning and describe recent research on making these systems more efficient.\n\nBio: Bill is Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Research at NVIDIA Corporation and a Professor (Research) and former chair of Computer Science at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2018 Helmut W. Baer Lecture in Physics | Detecting the Tiny Thump of the Neutrino
DESCRIPTION:Neutrinos are “ghostly” particles\, interacting only rarely with matter. Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) was first predicted in 1973\; it’s a process in which a neutrino scatters off an entire nucleus. By neutrino standards\, CEvNS occurs frequently\, but it is tremendously challenging to see. The only way to observe it is to detect the minuscule thump of the nuclear recoil. CEvNS was measured for the first time by the COHERENT collaboration using the unique\, high-quality source of neutrinos from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This talk will describe COHERENT's recent measurement of CEvNS\, the status and plans of COHERENT's suite of detectors at the SNS\, and the physics we will learn from the measurements.\n\nThe Helmut W. Baer Lecture  is a special colloquium supported by  family and friends in honor of Dr. Helmut Baer. Dr. Baer's career in physics began with his work at the University of Michigan where he was awarded a doctorate in nuclear physics in 1967. He published over 100 articles that cover a range of physics topics including nuclear physics and pion interactions. Dr. Baer was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in March of 1989\, and to his delight enjoyed countless opportunities over the years to talk about physics at universities and conferences internationally. Dr. Baer set the highest personal standards for himself and his research. This lecture is held approximately every two years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Lecture. Soldiers and Kings: Violence\, Representation\, and Photoethnographic Practice in the Context of Human Smuggling Across Mexico
DESCRIPTION:Since 2015\, Jason De León has been involved in an analog photoethnographic project focused on documenting the daily lives of Honduran smugglers who profit from transporting undocumented migrants across Mexico. In this talk\, he will discuss the relationship between transnational gangs and the human smuggling industry and outline the complicated role that photography plays as a field method and data source in this violent and ethically challenging ethnographic context. \n    \nThis lecture will be accompanied by a photo exhibit by the same title of the lecture. The exhibit will be available for viewing on the 10th floor of Weiser Hall prior to and following the lecture. \n    \nJason De León is Associate Professor of Anthropology and the Director of the Undocumented Migration Project. His book \"The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail\" was published by the University of California in 2015. De León was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant in 2017.

SUMMARY:Other:Elastomeric Surfaces for the Rational Synthesis\, Assembly\, and Fabrication of Adaptive\, Functional Materials
DESCRIPTION:                                                                                                We are investigating new synthetic strategies for the fabrication of adaptive\, hybrid structures comprised of combinations of soft materials (e.g.\, polymers) and hard materials (e.g.\, inorganic crystals) with functional (optical\, mechanical\, magnetic\, etc.) characteristics.  Central to these efforts are elastomeric surfaces with heterogeneous chemical and physical properties that can be reversibly reconfigured using simple\, macro-scale processes such as mechanical deformations—we refer to these mechanically tunable surfaces as 2D “assembly substrates.”  Specifically\, we focus on systems fabricated from elastomeric polymers\, such as silicones\, which provide a diversity of chemical and mechanical properties.  In this talk I will highlight our recent findings related to the synthesis and application of mechanically tunable surfaces\, which include the assembly of solids (e.g.\, inorganic films with switchable reflectance and microparticles with optical/catalytic activity) and the manipulation of liquids (e.g.\, picoliter-volume droplets of aqueous solutions and prepolymer droplets).  The unique properties of these surfaces and the diverse capabilities they provide will enable new methods and structures for the micro-/nanoscale manipulation\, organization\, and assembly of liquids/solids\, and provide new techniques for the fabrication of hybrid structures applicable to emergent technologies\, for example\, soft sensors\, optics\, and electronics\, soft actuators for soft machines/robotics\, and smart surfaces with adaptive adhesion.  Furthermore\, the ability of the strategies we demonstrate to operate simultaneously on large numbers of micro-/nanoscale functional components using macroscale processing (e.g.\, tensile deformations) presents unique advantages in the scalable\, advanced manufacturing of functional structures.                                                                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                                                \n                       \n                        \nStephen Morin (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Yusin Redux: Satire and Democratization in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of a hotly contested presidential race in 2012\, a controversial painting by the artist Hong Sŏng-dam depicted the then candidate Park Geun-hye giving birth to her famous father\, whose Yusin regime (1972-1979) had once turned South Korea into an anticommunist police state. The painting proved prescient. The four years that followed Park Geun-hye's victory at the polls may be characterized as Yusin Redux for its systematic attempt to roll back the democratic process in order to vindicate or reinstate the legacies of her father's rule. Looking back on Park Geun-hye's presidency from the vantage point opened up by its abortive end in impeachment\, this talk will analyze several important cultural works of satire as examples of \"laughtivism\" in order to reflect on the significance of Yusin Redux in the history of South Korean democratization. \n    \nYoungju Ryu is Associate Professor of Korean Literature at the University of Michigan. Her publications include Writers of the Winter Republic: Literature and Resistance in Park Chung Hee's Korea (University of Hawai'i Press\, 2016) and Cultures of Yusin: South Korea in the 1970s\, forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saint-Domingue by Way of Saint-Petersburg: Imagining the Haitian Revolution in Imperial Russia
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore how the Haitian Revolution was covered in the Russian press from 1802-1804. Of primary focus will be how the presence of Polish forces in Haiti (who were sent by Napoleon to put down the slave rebellion ostensibly in exchange for the repatriation of Polish territory from Russia) contributed to Russia’s favorable coverage of the Black insurgency. Special attention will also be paid to how the then emerging discourse of romantic nationalism was used to portray Russia's imperial practices in neighboring Slavic territories (like Poland) as somehow physiologically distinct from the French colonial presence in the West Indies.\n\nDr. Jennifer Wilson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. While at Penn\, she is working on two manuscripts: Radical Chastity: Abstinence and the Political Imagination in 19th Century Russian Literature and Writing the Black Atlantic in Imperial Russia. She has also contributed articles on topics related to Russian literary culture and politics to The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, The Paris Review\, The Guardian\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899 Seminar: Jeff Fessler\, EECS\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Many applications\, including machine learning\, require optimization of convex cost functions. For convex cost functions with Lipschitz continuous gradients\, Nesterov's fast gradient method decreases the cost function at least as fast as the square of the number of iterations\, a rate order that is optimal. This talk describes a first-order optimization method called the optimized gradient method (OGM) that converges twice as fast as Nesterov's famous method yet has a remarkably similar simple implementation. Interestingly\, Y. Drori recently showed that OGM has optimal complexity among first-order methods. I will discuss other recent extensions and show examples in machine learning and imaging. This work is joint with Donghwan Kim.\n \nBio: Jeff Fessler is the William L. Root Professor of EECS at the University of Michigan. He received the BSEE degree from Purdue University in 1985\, the MSEE degree from Stanford University in 1986\, and the M.S. degree in Statistics from Stanford University in 1989. From 1985 to 1988 he was a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at Stanford\, where he earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 1990. He has worked at the University of Michigan since then. From 1991 to 1992 he was a Department of Energy Alexander Hollaender Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. From 1993 to 1995 he was an Assistant Professor in Nuclear Medicine and the Bioengineering Program. He is now a Professor in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, Radiology\, and Biomedical Engineering. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 2006\, for contributions to the theory and practice of image reconstruction. He received the Francois Erbsmann award for his IPMI93 presentation\, and the Edward Hoffman Medical Imaging Scientist Award in 2013. He has served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging\, the IEEE Signal Processing Letters\, and the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing\, and is currently serving as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging. He has chaired the IEEE T-MI Steering Committee and the ISBI Steering Committee. He was co-chair of the 1997 SPIE conference on Image Reconstruction and Restoration\, technical program co-chair of the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI)\, and general chair of ISBI 2007. His research interests are in statistical aspects of imaging problems\, and he has supervised doctoral research in PET\, SPECT\, X-ray CT\, MRI\, and optical imaging problems.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Accenture Case Interview Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Interested in recruiting for a consulting position but unfamiliar with the case interview format? This workshop\, brought to you by Accenture\, will be an opportunity for you to learn more about the case interviews that consulting firms use today. The presentation will cover a range of topics including the different formats of cases\, common questions and frameworks\, and tips on how to prepare. There is no \"right\" answer to the case. Firms are interested in how clearly you define the problem\, how logically you structure your analysis\, and how well you communicate your thoughts.\n\nFor most of the workshop\, two Engineering seniors who have recruited and/or interned in consulting will demonstrate an actual case interview. There will be ample time for questions. \n\nFood will be provided. Space is limited\, please register under the Events section of Engineering Careers if planning to attend. This event is co-hosted by the Engineering Career Resource Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author’s Forum Presents: \"Early Modern Cartesianisms\"
DESCRIPTION:Tad Schmaltz (philosophy) and George Hoffmann (French) discuss Schmaltz's new book \"Early Modern Cartesianisms.\"\n\nAbout the book:\n\n\"There is a general sense that the philosophy of Descartes was a dominant force in early modern thought. Since the work in the nineteenth century of French historians of Cartesian philosophy\, however\, there has been no fully contextualized comparative examination of the various receptions of Descartes in different portions of early modern Europe. \n\n\"This study addresses the need for a more current understanding of these receptions by considering the different constructions of Descartes's thought that emerged in the Calvinist United Provinces (Netherlands) and Catholic France\, the two main centers for early modern Cartesianism\, during the period dating from the last decades of his life to the century or so following his death in 1650. It turns out that we must speak not of a single early modern Cartesianism rigidly defined in terms of Descartes's own authorial intentions\, but rather of a loose collection of early modern Cartesianisms that involve a range of different positions on various sets of issues. \n\n\"Though more or less rooted in Descartes's somewhat open-ended views\, these Cartesianisms evolved in different ways over time in response to different intellectual and social pressures. Chapters of this study are devoted to: the early modern Catholic and Calvinist condemnations of Descartes and the incompatible Cartesian responses to these\; conflicting attitudes among early modern Cartesians toward ancient thought and modernity\; competing early modern attempts to combine Descartes's views with those of Augustine\; the different occasionalist accounts of causation within early modern Cartesianism\; and the impact of various forms of early modern Cartesianism on both Dutch medicine and French physics.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Author Talk: Garrett Graff: Raven Rock: The Story of the U.S. Government’s Secret Plan to Save Itself--While the Rest of Us Die
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Graff\, magazine journalist\, author and historian\, describes an eye-opening true story of the government’s secret plans to survive and rebuild after a catastrophic attack on U.S. soil - - a narrative that spans from the dawn of the nuclear age to today.\n\nIn his engrossing new book\, Raven Rock\, Graff brings readers through the back channels of government to understand exactly what is at stake if our nation is attacked\, and how we’re prepared to respond if it is.\n\nFor sixty years\, the U.S. government has been developing secret Doomsday plans to protect itself\, and the multibillion-dollar Continuity of Government (COG) program takes numerous forms—from its plans to evacuate the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to how it will secure our most precious documents from the National Archives.\n\nIn Raven Rock\, Garrett Graff sheds light on the inner workings of the 650-acre compound (called Raven Rock) just miles from Camp David\, as well as dozens of other bunkers the government built for its top leaders during the Cold War.\n\nFree Admission. Free Parking. Book sales/signing and reception follow program.

SUMMARY:Performance:SMTD@UMMA Performance: Exercising the Ear: Music and Conversation with Augusta Read Thomas
DESCRIPTION:This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come\, first served.\n\nAugusta Read Thomas\, one of today’s most acclaimed composers\, joins U-M composer Roshanne Etezady for conversation about music\, art\, and the creative process. “Thomas' music… fairly explodes with an extroverted boldness of utterance audiences and musicians alike find challenging yet immediate” (Chicago Tribune).\n\nSMTD students perform some of Thomas’ most intimate chamber works. This program is offered in conjunction with the UMMA exhibition 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection\,' which celebrates the pioneering gallerist\, Gertrude Kasle (1917–2016)\, who was a key figure in the formation of Detroit’s contemporary art community in the 1960s and 70s. Kasle awakened local communities to the kind of avant-garde art she experienced in New York City and advocated for regional artists that she felt likewise broke with tradition.\n\nThe SMTD@UMMA performance series is generously supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.\n\nLead support for 'Exercising the Eye: The Gertrude Kasle Collection' is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.
