SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of presents Art\, Music & Autism: Jazz Musicians in Mixed Media by Juliette Hemingway
DESCRIPTION:In Juliette Hemingway’s work\, viewers can imagine the grumbling tones of a saxophone or the sharp lines of a trombone. The sound is inside the musicians. You may not know the details of their experience or understand it\, but it's visceral. That is what jazz is in Hemingway's work. It is the instinctual part of her life that she gives to viewers as a visual excerpt: a life that revolves around healing\, autism\, creativity and awareness. Jazz and the blue-hued musicians give you a sense of the deep-rooted experiences of her son and what it is to live with autism\, and for her\, straining to look into his secret world. Hemingway is based in Aurora\, Colorado.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:she was here\, once
DESCRIPTION:The mobility and displacement of the Black body\, from port to holding cell\, to ward and out\, is a history that is embedded in our communities socially\, culturally and geographically. Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.\n\nContact Heidi Bennett\, IRWG Event Planner (heidiab@umich.edu) with questions about this exhibition.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Women's Studies\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, Department of English\, Art History\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, Center for the Education of Women+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency
DESCRIPTION:\"Blind House: Utopia and Dystopia in the Age of Radical Transparency\,\" by collaborative artists Paloma Muñoz and Walter Martin\, is a razor-sharp work that brings into question our ideals of house and home\, privacy\, and safety.\n\nThe exhibition combines photographs the artists have envisioned of houses without windows as well an actual glass house planned for the center of the gallery\, revisiting the whole notion of a glass house as an example of sophistication\, luxury\, and modernism.\n\nIn a darkening an era of surveillance and the internet\, for Martin and Muñoz\,  \"Blind House\" serves as \"a metaphorical solution to the full on campaign against personal privacy.\" Read the artists' statement at http://myumi.ch/6wxbk

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Ancient Color
DESCRIPTION:The Roman world was a colorful place. Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Householdments
DESCRIPTION:John was born in Tokyo\, Japan in 1971. His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Non-Invasive Venous Thrombus Composition and Therapeutic Response by Multiparametric MRI
DESCRIPTION:Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)\, or a blood clot in a deep vein (commonly the legs)\, is known as the silent killer—there may be few or no symptoms\, yet a section of the thrombus could break free and travel to the lungs causing a potentially fatal pulmonary embolism. DVT and its complications affect 900\,000 people in the U.S. each year\, with one third of cases resulting in fatality. Anticoagulants (the standard treatment) pose serious bleeding risks and rely on the patient’s fibrinolytic system to break up the thrombus\, which is often incapable of doing so thus leading to post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in almost 50% of patients. Removing the DVT completely via thrombolytic treatments may improve quality of life by reducing PTS. However\, thrombolysis is only effective on acute thrombi. Impaired success with thrombolytic treatment is due to heterogeneity in the thrombus (old clot\, which is unable to be broken up\, intermixed with fresh clot\, which can easily be broken up). This problem is largely overlooked based on an inability to determine thrombus composition.\n\nCurrently\, the only method for determining disease stage is the patient’s recollection of when their symptoms began\, which is inherently unreliable and could put the patient at risk. Further\, thrombi of the same chronological age may organize at different rates in different people. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to provide information about thrombus composition (clot age)\, and thus inform patient-specific treatment planning.\n\nSince there are several limitations to studying DVT in humans\, animal models are key tools for understanding the disease. Mouse models are the most commonly used\, providing a unique biological environment to study disease progression and treatment. Any model requires rigorous characterization and standardization to ensure reproducibility between studies. Our first objective was to quantify structural and functional changes in the healthy venous system of young and aged mice of both sexes\, at rest and under conditions which simulate exercise. Second\, we assessed the endogenous response to two models of DVT mimicking the two possible clinical scenarios: total or partial occlusion.\n\nFollowing the necessary model characterization\, we developed a multiparametric MRI approach to probe thrombus composition without the need for contrast agents. Our results show imaging correlation with known composition by histology. This method provides a novel approach to study thrombus composition\, and could eventually be used clinically to provide patient-specific treatment planning for DVT.\n\nAdditionally\, we investigated the impact of exercise\, an emerging therapeutic option\, on thrombus composition. Using an in-cage running wheel\, our results show that spontaneous exercise – both alone and in combination with standard treatment – reduces initial thrombus size and contributes to thrombus resolution. We found that exercise increases acute fibrin content\, attenuates local inflammation\, and decreases sub-chronic collagen content in pharmacologically treated mice.\n\nThis work provides 1) the first in vivo characterization of the murine venous system in health and disease\, 2) a foundational methodology to determine thrombus composition by MRI\, and 3) insights on the impact of exercise on DVT. This research can help DVT investigators from the animal model perspective\, and provides a step forward in characterizing thrombus composition for patient-specific DVT treatment planning.\n\nCo-Chairs: Joan Greve and Jose Diaz

SUMMARY:Exhibition:What Are Little Books Made Of?
DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with SRC faculty Erin Ware
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ware is a self-taught HPC user and excited to host a weekly hackerspace from February 13 to April 3\, 2019. Her training has been in genetic epidemiology\, public health\, and statistics using SAS (local)\, R (server)\, Linux (on FLUX\, MBNI\, and other personal servers)\, batch scripting (SGE\, PBS\, Slurm). Dr. Ware has taught SAS (data management and statistical modeling) and introductory statistics using R. She is experienced in teaching high performance computing to individuals with limited programming background. \n\nIn this hackerspace\, Dr. Ware is particularly interested in addressing issues of data manipulation in Linux\, efficient documentation and file naming structures\, data management (SAS/R)\, setting up an HPC connection\, WinSCP\, getting around a server using basic Linux\, genomic analysis\, and high-dimensional data analysis. Dr. Ware would like to learn about SFTP using Globus\, Python\, and more advanced batch scripting in Slurm. Dr. Ware hopes you will join her hackerspace this term.\n\nThe goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive hacking environment in which attendees can benefit from each other’s expertise. To participate\, hackers need to bring their own laptops and\, ideally\, have a chunk of code they are planning to work on unless they plan to assist and join others in their coding endeavors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmogonic Tattoos
DESCRIPTION:EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A MUSEUM AS A CULTURAL REPOSITORY\n \nIn celebration of the University of Michigan’s Bicentennial in 2017\, artist and distinguished U­–M art professor Jim Cogswell was invited to create a series of public window installations in response to the holdings of the University of Michigan Museum of Art and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost. Additional support for the artist's project is provided by the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Enhancing Prediction Efficacy with High-Dimensional Input Via Structural Mixture Modeling of Local Linear Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Regression is a widely used statistical tool to discover associations between variables. The estimated relationship can be further utilized for predicting new observations. Obtaining reliable prediction outcomes is a challenging task. When building a regression model\, several difficulties such as high dimensionality in predictors\, non-linearity of the associations and the unreliable results caused by outliers could deteriorate the results. Furthermore\, the prediction error increases if the newly acquired data might not be processed carefully. In this dissertation\, we aim at improving prediction performance by enhancing the model robustness at the training stage and duly handling the query data at the testing stage. We propose two methods to build robust models. One focuses on adopting a parsimonious model to limit the number of parameters and a refinement technique to enhance model robustness. We design the procedure to be carried out on parallel systems and further extend their abilities of handling complex and large-scale datasets. The other method restricts the parameter space to avoid the singularity issue and takes up the trimming techniques to limit the influence of outlying observations.  We build both approaches by using the mixture-modeling principle to accommodating data heterogeneity without uncontrollably increasing model complexity. Both methods show their abilities to improve prediction performance\, compared to existing approaches\, in applications such as magnetic resonance vascular fingerprinting and source separation in single-channel polyphonic music\, among others. To evaluate model robustness\, we develop an efficient approach to generating adversarial samples\, which could induce large prediction errors yet are difficult to detect visually. Finally\, we propose a preprocessing system to detect and repair different kinds of abnormal testing samples for prediction efficacy\, when testing samples are either corrupted or adversarially perturbed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EITC Expansions\, Earnings Growth\, and Inequality: Evidence from Washington\, DC
DESCRIPTION:Betty Ford Classroom (1110)\n735 S. State Street\, Ann Arbor  48109-3091\n11:30am-12:50pm (pizza lunch provided)\nFree and open to the public\n\nAbout the Lecture:\nWe use longitudinal administrative tax data from Washington DC to study how Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) expansions undertaken by the Washington DC affect income and inequality in the city. We find that federal and DC EITC credit expansions between 2001 and 2009 are associated with recipient pre-tax earnings growth of roughly 3-4 percent\, primarily among single mothers. Together these credits reduce post-tax inequality for the 10th percentile relative to median household\, however\, composition changes in the city and growing overall inequality mitigates this inequality decrease towards the end of the period. Overall\, these results complement existing research that shows the EITC has a positive effect on labor market outcomes and household well-being.\n \nProfessor Hardy is an Associate Professor of Public Administration and Policy and nonresident senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution. Currently\, he is on leave from AU as a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation. He also serves as a visiting scholar with the Center for Household Financial Stability at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. His research interests lie within labor economics\, with an emphasis on economic instability\, intergenerational mobility\, poverty policy\, and socio-economic outcomes. He examines trends and sources of income volatility and intergenerational mobility within the United States\, with a focus on socio-economically disadvantaged families\, and also conducts research on the role of anti-poverty transfer programs such as SNAP food stamps and the earned income tax credit for improving economic well-being among low income individuals and families. Before joining American\, he served as a research fellow at the University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research. Prior to his doctoral studies\, Hardy helped provide analyses of U.S. budget\, tax\, and income support policies as a researcher at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington\, DC. He currently serves on the executive board of the Society of Government Economists\, and the editorial boards of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management and the Review of Black Political Economy. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Social Insurance.\n\n\nSponsored by:  University of Michigan Center for Local\, State\, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP)\nCo-sponsored by:  Poverty Solutions\n\nFor more information visit www.closup.umich.edu or call 734-647-4091.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HET Brown Bag | Pulsar Timing as a Probe of Primordial Black Holes and Subhalos
DESCRIPTION:Pulsars act as accurate clocks\, sensitive to gravitational redshift and acceleration induced by transiting clumps of matter. In this talk\, I study the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTA) to transiting compact dark matter objects\, focusing on primordial black holes and subhalos. Such dark matter clumps can result in different classes of signals observable in pulsar timing experiments depending on the mass of the object. I will classify the types of signals\, where they are most important\, and the different search strategies resulting in possible constraints over a huge mass range\, 10^−12 to 100 solar masses. Crucially\, PTAs offer the opportunity to probe much less dense objects than lensing experiments due to the large effective radius over which such objects can be observed with a single pulsar. We project the reach possible with current and future pulsar timing experiments\, with sensitivity to a dark matter sub-component reaching the sub-percent level over significant parts of this range with future detectors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Pulsar timing as a probe of primordial black holes and subhalos
DESCRIPTION:Pulsars act as accurate clocks\, sensitive to gravitational redshift and acceleration induced by transiting clumps of matter. In this talk\, I study the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTA) to transiting compact dark matter objects\, focusing on primordial black holes and subhalos. Such dark matter clumps can result in different classes of signals observable in pulsar timing experiments depending on the mass of the object. I will classify the types of signals\, where they are most important\, and the different search strategies resulting in possible constraints over a huge mass range\, 10^−12 to 100 solar masses. Crucially\, PTAs offer the opportunity to probe much less dense objects than lensing experiments due to the large effective radius over which such objects can be observed with a single pulsar. We project the reach possible with current and future pulsar timing experiments\, with sensitivity to a dark matter sub-component reaching the sub-percent level over significant parts of this range with future detectors.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Untangling a Web of Behaviors: Understanding How Orb-Weaving Behavior is  Encoded in the Brains of Spiders
DESCRIPTION:Hosts:  Josie Clowney (MCDB)  & Swathi Yadlapalli (Cell & Developmental Biology)\n\nMany behaviors such as communication\, navigation\, and mating\, require the coordination of many sub-behaviors over multiple timescales. A particularly remarkable animal behavior is shelter construction. This behavior requires external and internal cues to trigger and coordinate behaviors over multiple timescales to effectively construct something that may take hours to build. An excellent example of this is spider orb-weaving. It involves coordinating many sub-behaviors to successfully construct the web. In essence\, the structure of the web is a record of the underlying behavioral structure. It is a stereotyped\, but not necessarily reflexive\, behavior that requires multiple decisions be made based on a variety of external and internal cues. The goal of our research is to objectively define this behavior at a high spatiotemporal resolution\, and then investigate the neuronal and genetic factors that influence how this behavior is encoded in the brain.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CRITICAL x DESIGN: Digitally Divided: The Art of Algorithmic (In)Decision
DESCRIPTION:In “Digitally Divided\,” Katherine Behar presents her artwork with a focus on how algorithms dismantle and rearrange us. Across culture\, algorithms have been unleashed to allocate complex systems into manageable portions. They mete out standardization and suppress idiosyncrasy across diverse and defiant populations of human and nonhuman objects\, in ways that are socially\, technically\, and conceptually reductive. This lecture brings together examples of Behar’s videos\, interactive installations\, sculptures\, and performances\, alongside episodes from media history and popular culture to explore this core notion of being “digitally divided.”\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nKatherine Behar is an artist and critical theorist of new media whose work explores gender and labor in digital culture. In contexts spanning automated labor\, mandated obsolescence\, big data\, and machine learning\, Behar applies object-oriented feminism into practice in her art and writing. Her work connects feminist and antiracist post-colonial histories with a wave of new theories that grapple with the nonhuman object world. Katherine Behar's works have appeared throughout North America and Europe. Pera Museum in Istanbul presented a comprehensive survey exhibition and catalog\, Katherine Behar: Data's Entry | Veri Girişi\, in 2016. Additional solo exhibitions include Katherine Behar: Anonymous Autonomous (2018)\, Katherine Behar: E-Waste (2014\, catalog/traveling)\, and numerous others collaborating as \"Disorientalism.\" Behar is the editor of Object-Oriented Feminism\, coeditor of And Another Thing: Nonanthropocentrism and Art\, and author of Bigger than You: Big Data and Obesity. She is Associate Professor of New Media Arts at Baruch College\, CUNY.\n\nThe CRITICAL x DESIGN series is generously supported by the School of Information\; the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research\; the Science\, Technology and Society program\, and the Department of Communication Studies in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:James Felton Keith: #Own Your Data
DESCRIPTION:Data is what drives our economy. We leave trails of personal data as we scroll\, click\, chat\, shop\, commute and exercise. In many ways\, data is an emerging renewable commodity\, as abundant as sunlight. The top 5 largest companies of 2017 are all considered “data companies” that rely on capturing\, processing and distributing personal data to garner their market capitalization or pre-market valuation. \n\nAuthor and Engineer\, James Felton Keith will explore the two questions: If our personal data is a naturally occurring resource\, just how valuable is it to the other +5 million companies in our economy? And\, How much are people owed if they in fact own their data?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DCMB Seminar  ||  \"Towards a phylogeny of cell types\"
DESCRIPTION:Single-cell RNA-seq is a powerful technology for identifying novel and known cell types\, however its power is limited to organisms with well-annotated genomes.  We present a reference-free method to compare single cells both within and across species.  In this method\, k-mers from each cell’s RNA-seq profile are randomly subsampled into a compressed representation called a “sketch” using document comparison algorithms of MinHash or HyperLogLog.  For within-species comparison\, the RNA sketches are sufficient\, but as protein sequence is more stable across species\, we translate the RNA k-mers into protein k-mers with 6-frame translation\, discarding all protein k-mers containing stop codons.  We show this method can “lift over” single-cell RNA-seq annotations from mouse to human and compare to using purely 1:1 mapping orthologous genes.  Thus\, k-mer sketches are an efficient method to find shared and unique cell types both within and across species without need for a reference genome or transcriptome.\n\nRefreshments:  3:30 pm to 4:00 pm in Atrium Hall\, 4th Floor of Palmer Commons\nLecture:  4:00 pm to 5:00 pm in Forum Hall\, 4th Floor of Palmer Commons

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:High Energy Density Physics Experiments at Imperial  College – Megaamps and Megabars
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The last 2 decades have seen an explosion in high energy density physics research\, spurred on by the development of national facilities such as NIF and Z. Despite their relative small size\, universities have played a leading role in this research – both with ‘in house’ experiments and through joint work on larger facilities. In this talk I will describe some of our research at Imperial College including how we have pioneered the use of plasmas ablating from wire array z-pinches to create astrophysical relevant experiments and explore radiative shock waves\; how we are using pulsed power driven wire explosions to create highly convergent shock waves for equation of state measurements\; and how we utilize new X-ray diagnostics to explore materials in situ - whilst having fun with a shoe boxed sized pulser on a synchrotron.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Simon Bland is a senior lecturer at Imperial College London\, leading efforts to produce materials in extremes of pressure\, temperature and density through short bursts of electrical energy. His group runs a 2 million ampere cutting-edge pulsed power facility – MACH- dedicated to isentropic compression and convergent shock waves\, whilst also developing and using novel diagnostic techniques. Prior to establishing his own research program\, Dr. Bland worked on the MAGPIE facility exploring wire array z-pinches for fusion and laboratory astrophysics. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 papers\, and greatly enjoys working with a team of under-graduates and graduates in his research.\n\nThe seminar will be web-simulcast.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Bennett Williams
DESCRIPTION:Title: Applications of Principal Component Analysis for Position-Sensitive Semiconductor Detectors\n\nChair: Professor Zhong He\n\nAbstract:  Although the landscape of nuclear safeguards changes as new technologies emerge\, gamma-ray spectroscopy remains a fundamental component of nuclear material detection and monitoring protocols. Systems that feature pixelated\, large- volume CdZnTe detectors provide a viable option for gamma-ray spectrometers owing to their portability\, room-temperature operation\, imaging capabilities and high-performance energy resolution. Despite recent advances in data acquisition technology\, CdZnTe detector systems fail to achieve comparable energy resolution to the industry-leading performance provided by high-purity germanium detectors. This limits the utility of CdZnTe systems in gamma-ray spectroscopy\, as the confidence intervals of analyses pertinent to nuclear safeguards depend heavily on energy resolution.\n\nIn order to address this deficiency in CdZnTe detector technology\, a fundamentally new approach for calibrating energy is proposed. Conventional calibration methods for position-sensitive semiconductor detectors rely heavily on theoretical models. Despite years of extensive study on charge transport properties in position-sensitive semiconductor detectors\, the underlying models introduce systematic error in the energy reconstruction process. Under the proposed framework\, predictive models are constructed via principal component analysis in an attempt to reduce the reliance on theoretical models and human intuition.\n\nThis work provides a practitioner's account of how one can leverage information extracted by principal component analysis to improve energy resolution for position-sensitive semiconductor detectors. This methodology is adapted to address unique challenges presented by a variety of events observed in position-sensitive detectors. For the detectors used in this work\, single-pixel\, two- pixel and three-pixel event energy resolution at 662 keV improve by approximately 10\% relative to the leading alternative. The proposed calibration procedure is generalized to accommodate event reconstruction for gamma-rays in the entire dynamic range.\n\nEnergy calibration via principal component analysis is intended to provide a practical alternative to conventional techniques. Calibration requirements and computational time are monitored closely to ensure that the application of the proposed technique does not become overly burdensome. Calibration measurements based on principal component analysis require no more time or data than conventional methods. The processing time per detection event is significantly reduced compared to computationally-intensive alternatives under this framework\, enabling the processing speed necessary for a wide variety of nuclear safeguards applications.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Universality Classes in the Evolutionary Dynamics of Expanding Populations
DESCRIPTION:Reaction-diffusion waves describe diverse natural phenomena from crystal growth in physics to range expansions in biology. Two classes of waves are known: pulled\, driven by the leading edge\, and pushed\, driven by the bulk of the wave. Recently\, we examined how demographic fluctuations change as the density-dependence of growth or dispersal dynamics is tuned to transition from pulled to pushed waves. We found three regimes with the variance of the fluctuations decreasing inversely with the population size\, as a power law\, or logarithmically. These scalings reflect distinct genealogical structures of the expanding population\, which change from the Kingman coalescent in pushed waves to the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent in pulled waves. The genealogies and the scaling exponents are model-independent and are fully determined by the ratio of the wave velocity to the geometric mean of dispersal and growth rates at the leading edge. Our theory predicts that positive density dependence in growth or dispersal could dramatically alter evolution in expanding populations even when its contribution to the expansion velocity is small. On a technical side\, our work highlights potential pitfalls in the commonly-used method to approximate stochastic dynamics and shows how to avoid them.\n\n

In 2001\, he joined the staff of the President’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security. Biggs has published widely in academic publications as well as in daily newspapers such as The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, and The Washington Post. He has also testified before Congress on numerous occasions. In 2013\, the Society of Actuaries appointed Biggs co-vice chair of a blue ribbon panel tasked with analyzing the causes of underfunding in public pension plans and how governments can securely fund plans in the future. In 2014\, Institutional Investor Magazine named him one of the 40 most influential people in the retirement world. In 2016\, he was appointed by President Obama to be a member of the financial control board overseeing reforms to Puerto Rico’s budget and the restructuring of the island’s debts. Biggs holds a bachelor’s degree from Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland\, master’s degrees from Cambridge University and the University of London\, and a Ph.D. from the London School of Economics.\n\nBetsey Stevenson is an associate professor of public policy at the Ford School\, with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Economics.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASP Book Tour: The Armenian Legionnaires: Sacrifice and Betrayal in World War I
DESCRIPTION:Following the devastation resulting from the 1915 Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire\, the survivors of the massacres were dispersed across the Middle East\, Europe and North and South America. Not content with watching World War I silently from the sidelines\, a large number of Armenian volunteers joined the Légion d'Orient. They were trained in Cyprus and fought courageously in Palestine alongside Allied commander General Allenby\, eventually playing a crucial role in defeating the German and Ottoman forces in Palestine at the Battle of Arara in September 1918. The Armenian legionnaires signed up on the understanding that they would be fighting in Syria and Turkey\, and\, should the Allies be successful\, they would be part of an occupying army in their old homelands\, laying the foundation for a self-governing Armenian state.\n\nSusan Pattie describes the motivations and dreams of the Armenian Legionnaires and their ultimate betrayal as the French and the British shifted their priorities\, leaving their ancestral homelands to the emerging Republic of Turkey. Complete with eyewitness accounts\, letters and photographs\, this book provides an insight into relations between the Great Powers through the lens of a small\, vulnerable people caught in a war that was not their own\, but which had already destroyed their known world.\n\nCopies of \"The Armenian Legionnaires\" will be available for purchase (cash only) at the event.\n\nSusan Pattie\, former Director of the Armenian Institute in London is currently leader of the Pilot Project of the Armenian Diaspora Survey\, funded by the Gulbenkian Foundation. She holds a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. \n    \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Presentation:BLI Speaker Series: What's going on in the world of work?
DESCRIPTION:The recipe for career success used to be clear: get into the best college you can\, study something practical\, take a job with a name-brand corporation\, work your way up the career ladder\, and retire to Boca with a company pension and health plan. \n\nBut with the corporate world dis-integrating\, careers turned into jobs and now jobs are turning into gigs. What are the opportunities and hazards for leaders in this new world of work? Does everyone have to learn Python and SQL\, or can you get by on great soft skills? \nThis talk has all the answers.\n\nJerry Davis is the Associate Dean for Business+Impact at Michigan Ross\, Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration\, and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He has published widely in management\, sociology\, and finance. \n\nDavis’s research is broadly concerned with the effects of finance on society. Recent writings examine how ideas about corporate social responsibility have evolved to meet changes in the structures and geographic footprint of multinational corporations\; whether \"shareholder capitalism\" is still a viable model for economic development\; how income inequality in an economy is related to corporate size and structure\; why theories about organizations do (or do not) progress\; how architecture shapes social networks and innovation in organizations\; why stock markets spread to some countries and not others\; and whether there exist viable organizational alternatives to shareholder-owned corporations in the United States.\n\nThe Barger Leadership Institute (BLI) is a student-powered\, faculty-guided community dedicated to developing student leadership learning and practice. The BLI Speaker Series offers an opportunity to explore the rich body of research about engaged leadership and to hear from faculty\, organizational leaders and alumni who have worked to develop their own leadership capacity.\n\nOpen to the public\, free of charge\, light snacks

SUMMARY:Other:The Author's Forum Presents \"The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images\": A Conversation with Christiane Gruber and Juan Cole
DESCRIPTION:Christiane Gruber (history of art) and Juan Cole (history) discuss Gruber's new book \"The Praiseworthy One\,\" which aims to bring back into scholarly and public discussion the ‘lost’ history of imagining the Prophet in Islamic cultures.\n\nAbout the book:\nIn the wake of controversies over printing or displaying images of the Prophet Muhammad\, Christiane Gruber’s aim is to bring back into scholarly and public discussion the ‘lost’ history of imagining the Prophet in Islamic cultures. By studying the various verbal and visual constructions of the Prophet’s character and persona over the course of more than one thousand years\, Gruber seeks to correct public misconceptions and restore to Islam its rich artistic heritage\, illuminating the critical role Muhammad has played in Muslim constructions of self and community at different times and in various cultural contexts.\n\nThe Praiseworthy One is an exploration of the Prophet Muhammad’s significance in Muslim life and thought from the beginning of Islam to today. It pays particular attention to procedures of narration\, veneration\, and sacralization. Gruber stresses that a fruitful approach to extant textual and visual materials is one that emphasizes the harnessing of Muhammad’s persona as a larger metaphor to explain both past and present historical events\, to build and delineate a sense of community\, and to help individuals conceive of and communicate with the realm of the sacred. The Praiseworthy One shows that Muhammad has served as a polyvalent symbol rather than a historical figure with fixed significance.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Asylum Journey: Ten Years in the US Immigration System
DESCRIPTION:Emilio Gutiérrez Soto\, Journalist and U-M Knight-Wallace Fellow\, and his son Oscar Gutiérrez Soto will be sharing their personal 10-year journey through the US immigration system. \n    \nIn 2008\, Emilio applied for asylum to escape death threats stemming from his journalistic exposure of military corruption in Mexico. During the first seven months of living in the US\, Emilio and Oscar were in a detention facility before being released with work permits. In July 2017\, after nearly 10 years of living in the US\, the asylum case was denied and their attorney quickly filed to reopen the case. During a regular ICE check-up in December\, 2017 Emilio and Oscar were almost deported and then detained in an ICE facility in El Paso\, Texas for eight months. Upon release\, Emilio accepted the 2018 U-M Knights Wallace Fellowship and joined the University of Michigan this year. Emilio was awarded the John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award by the National Press Club in 2017 and organizations such as the U-M Knights Wallace Foundation\, Reporters without Borders\, the National Press Club\, and the Society of Professional Journalists have advocated on his behalf. \n    \nThis event will take place at the International House Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Other:Local Learning at Literati: The Six Senses of Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Buddhist experiences can engage six senses: taste\, touch\, sight\, sound\, smell\, and thought. In this evening presentation that ranges from incense to hand-stitched vestments to meditation\, get a peek into the concepts and concerns that inspired the University of Michigan Museum of Art exhibition The Six Senses of Buddhism with Susan Dine\, UMMA curatorial fellow 2017-18 and exhibition curator. In the spirit of experience\, be ready for some hands-on interaction. The incorporation of incense may trigger the scent sensitive.\n \nSusan Dine is a doctoral candidate in the University of Michigan's History of Art department. She served as a curatorial fellow at the University of Michigan Museum of Art in 2017-2018 and has been a research fellow at the Smithsonian's Freer | Sackler for this academic year (2018-2019). Her dissertation explores representations of language in medieval Buddhist visual culture of Japan.\n\nFor more information about the Local Learning series at Literati Bookstore\, visit www.literatibookstore.com.\n\nLead support for The Six Senses of Buddhism is provided by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michelle's Meme Machine
DESCRIPTION:How do we define memes? How have they come to define us? How can we critically analyze these ubiquitous pools of relief from near-constant existential dread? Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.\n\nThis series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng\, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen\, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles\, ranking meme variants\, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 2020 Election: The Challenges and Changes Facing Political Polling
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Peter D. Hart\, leading public opinion expert and pollster\, takes a fun and interactive look at the latest polling trends\, while sharing insights about key changes\, demographic information\, and top issues the country needs to know. In this period of rapid-fire change\, Hart puts it all in context in an eye-opening look at polling\, politics and public policy.\n\nAs to the 2020 election\, Hart candidly warns against the predictive value of polls taken this far ahead of any presidential election. At this stage\, so long before voters actually vote\, according to Hart\, poll numbers are “written in wet sand at the ocean’s edge.” \n\nMr. Hart goes on to say “There is an old — and true — axiom that holds that in politics\, a week is a lifetime and a month can be an eternity ... History humbles us to admit that we really do have no idea who will be the presidential nominees\, let alone the winner\, in 2020.”\n\nHart\, the respected pollster who has perfected his trade through his work in the past 15 presidential campaigns\, is sometimes called the dean of this generation of pollsters. He has covered election night news since 1964\, and has set the “gold standard” of public polling.

SUMMARY:Performance:Molly Tuttle
DESCRIPTION:Molly Tuttle\, says Paul Zollo of American Songwriter\, \"sings with the gentle authority of Gillian Welch\, yet plays astoundingly fleet flat-picking guitar like Chet Atkins on superdrive.\" The first woman ever to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award\, Molly has been the talk of bluegrass circles of the past year and is rapidly gaining fans from all the spheres of the roots music universe as well. On her debut solo EP Rise\, Molly reveals the rich new ground she’s discovered. Produced by Kai Welch (Abigail Washburn\, Bobby Bare\, Jr.\, the Greencards)\, the seven-song collection relies on a rock-solid bluegrass foundation as Molly breaks free without breaking ties\, singing and exploring what her six-string acoustic guitar can do. A rising star if there ever was one!
