Saldamando merges painting and collage\, often using origami paper\, glitter\, or gold leaf in her compositions\, many of which are painted on wood or found surfaces. Her modern portraits and innovative methods challenge social constructs pertaining to individual and collective identity within the broader context of the “American Portrait.” Saldamando’s visual biographies\, which use her friends\, family\, and fellow members of the Chicanx creative community in Los Angeles\, create new ways of seeing and being seen.\n\nOn November 2\, 6:30-8pm\, Shizu Saldamando talks to curator Amanda Krugliak about Shizu's artistic practice and her exhibition *When This is All Over / Cuando Esto Termine*.\n\nAbout the artist: Shizu Saldamando is an LA based mixed media artist with an emphasis on portraiture. She received her B.A. from UCLA’s School of Arts and Architecture and her M.F.A. from California Institute of the Arts. Her work has been exhibited both locally and internationally and experiments with a broad range of surfaces and materials. Saldamando’s practice employs tattooing\, video\, painting and drawing on canvas\, wood\, paper\, and cloth. The work functions as homage\, as well as documentation\, of friends and peers within artistic and musical subcultures around the Los Angeles metropolitan area. She is currently represented by Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles.\n\nShizu Saldamando is the 2021 Paula and Edwin Sidman Fellow in the Arts at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

It helps us to confront and address some of the most pressing issues of our time. Art has the power to shift the way we see and understand the world around us\, and the worlds within us. Free Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan invites us to consider these qualities of art\, while also grappling with the carceral system and the many ways it affects the lives of all of us.\n\nCurrently there are approximately 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States\, and in Michigan\, there are roughly 33\,000 residents currently serving time in the prison system. Working together with a coalition of more than a dozen organizations and Michigan State University units and departments\, Free Your Mind explores the inner worlds of incarcerated individuals and the fundamental issues that shape conversations around incarceration today. The exhibition centers on four key topics of inquiry: Michigan’s length of sentencing and overcrowding in prisons\; the impact of incarceration on women\; youth incarceration\; and the dangers of COVID-19.\n\nThe exhibition features artists\, poets\, and storytellers of great achievement. The majority of these artists are either currently or formerly incarcerated. Their works on view invite us to consider the role art-making plays in prisons as a liberating force\, and offer unique perspectives on the experience of incarceration. The works also invite us to approach the subject of incarceration with an open mind. Free Your Mind aims to cultivate a greater sense of empathy for those directly impacted by incarceration and an understanding that their growth as individuals is linked to the greater health of the society we all live in\, together.\n\nFree Your Mind: Art and Incarceration in Michigan is organized by the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University and curated by Steven L. Bridges\, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs\, and Janie Paul\, Senior Curator and Cofounder\, Annual Exhibitions of Art by Michigan Prisoners\, a project of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Eli and Edythe Broad endowed exhibitions fund.

Making good decisions requires uncovering causal relationships from data. Many causal estimation problems reduce to estimating a model that satisfies a set of conditional moment restrictions. We develop an approach for estimating flexible models defined via conditional moment restrictions\, with a prototypical application being non-parametric instrumental variable regression. We introduce a min-max criterion function\, under which the estimation problem can be thought of as solving a zero-sum game between a modeler who is optimizing over the hypothesis space of the target causal model and an adversary who identifies violating moments over a test function space. We analyze the statistical estimation rate of the resulting estimator for arbitrary hypothesis spaces\, with respect to an appropriate analogue of the mean squared error metric\, for ill-posed inverse problems. We show that when the minimax criterion is regularized with a second moment penalty on the test function and the test function space is sufficiently rich\, then the estimation rate scales with the critical radius of the hypothesis and test function spaces\, a quantity which typically gives tight fast rates. Our main result follows from a novel localized Rademacher analysis of statistical learning problems defined via minimax objectives. We provide applications of our main results for several hypothesis spaces used in practice such as: reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces\, high dimensional sparse linear functions\, spaces defined via shape constraints\, ensemble estimators such as random forests\, and neural networks. For each of these applications we provide computationally efficient optimization methods for solving the corresponding minimax problem and stochastic first-order heuristics for neural networks.\nBased on joint works with: Nishanth Dikkala\, Greg Lewis and Lester Mackey\n\n*To join the seminar\, please contact: econometrics-seminar-requests@umich.edu UID:89547-21664067@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89547 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211130T110050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T161500 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Leveraging Multiple Information Sources to Enable High-Fidelity Uncertainty Quantification DESCRIPTION:Michael S. Eldred\nOptimization & Uncertainty Quantification Dept\nSandia National Laboratories\n\nComputational simulation continues to advance in its predictive capability through the development of high-fidelity multi-physics/multi-scale simulation models\, with unprecedented resolution enabled by the latest high-performance computers. Uncertainty quantification (UQ) methodologies are challenged in this environment\, both by the prohibitive cost of computing high-fidelity ensembles and by the increasing number of uncertainty sources that is often induced by this model complexity. One strategy to address these challenges is to harness the utility that exists within hierarchies of model forms (multifidelity) and resolution levels (multilevel and multi-index) in order to control multiple sources of error while optimizing the allocation of simulation resources. By relaxing the need for exclusive reliance on the most expensive models\, high-fidelity UQ studies become tractable. This talk will overview our work in R&D of multilevel/multifidelity (ML/MF) algorithms and new directions identified in deployments to DOE mission areas.\n \nAbout the speaker...\nMike received his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Virginia Tech in 1989\, his M.S.E. and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan in 1990 and 1993\, and is currently a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff in the Optimization and Uncertainty Quantification Department within the Center for Computing Research at Sandia National Laboratories.\n\nMike is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and a member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)\, the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (ISSMO)\, and the United States Association for Computational Mechanics (USACM).

U-M Industrial and Operations Engineering graduate students and faculty are especially encouraged to attend.\n\nTitle: Finding low-dimensional structure in messy data\n\nAbstract:\nIn order to draw inferences from large\, high-dimensional datasets\, we often seek simple structure that models the phenomena represented in those data. Low-rank linear structure is one of the most flexible and efficient such models\, allowing efficient prediction\, inference\, and anomaly detection. However\, classical techniques for learning low-rank models assume your data have only minor corruptions that are uniform over samples. Modern research in optimization has begun to develop new techniques to handle realistic messy data — where data are missing\, have wide variations in quality\, and/or are observed through nonlinear measurement systems.\n\nIn this talk I will give a high-level overview of recent research in this area. Then I will focus on the problem of learning linear subspace structure from multiple data sources of varying quality. This is common in problems like sensor networks or medical imaging\, where different measurements of the same phenomenon are taken with different quality sensing (eg high or low radiation). In this context\, learning the low-rank structure via PCA suffers from treating all data samples as if they are equally informative. I will discuss our theoretical results on weighted PCA. I will then present new algorithms for the non-convex probabilistic PCA formulation of this problem and a novel SDP relaxation.\n\nBio:\nLaura Balzano is an associate professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, and of Statistics by courtesy\, at the University of Michigan.

Please join us!\n\nDr. Pulkkinen's presentation is titled \"Extreme geomagnetic storm scenarios and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Heliophysics Science Division\" and will take place on Thursday\, December 2 at 3:30 p.m. EDT.\n\nThis seminar will be zoom only.\nPlease contact lhopkins@umich to request zoom access.\n\nABSTRACT:\nIn this talk\, I will cover two somewhat separate but yet connected topics: i) extreme geomagnetic storms in the context of power grids\, ii) introduction to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Heliophysics Science Division. In the first piece\, I will be wearing my research scientist hat and in the second\, my Division Director hat.\n\nExtreme geomagnetic storms pose a major threat to ground-based infrastructure and electric power transmission systems in particular. There has been a major recent focus on improving our understanding of extreme storms and allowing the new understanding to flow into detailed power engineering hazard assessments. Also the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has been involved and we have a framework in place that requires all U.S. utilities operating at or above 200 kV to carry out detailed hazard assessments. In the first part of the presentation\, I will discuss the development of extreme geomagnetic storm scenarios for the power engineering hazard assessments. I will also briefly discuss my own role in the regulatory work.\n\nThe NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Heliophysics Science Division (HSD) vision is “To discover and innovate in heliophysics for the benefit of those on Earth and those exploring the solar system.\" HSD conducts research on the Sun\, its extended solar-system environment (the heliosphere)\, and interactions of Earth\, other planets\, small bodies\, and interstellar gas with the heliosphere. Division research also encompasses geospace -- Earth's uppermost atmosphere\, the ionosphere\, and the magnetosphere -- and the changing environmental conditions throughout the coupled heliosphere. Scientists in the HSD develop models\, spacecraft missions and instruments\, and systems to manage and disseminate heliophysical data. They interpret and evaluate data gathered from instruments\, draw comparisons with computer simulations and theoretical models\, and publish the results. In the second part of the presentation\, I will introduce you to our Division and discuss how you can get involved with our work.\n\nBIO:\nDr. Pulkkinen is currently Acting Director of the Heliophysics Science Division at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Pulkkinen received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Helsinki\, Finland in 2003. Subsequently he joined the nonlinear dynamics group at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to carry out his postdoctoral research 2004-2006. Dr. Pulkkinen's Ph.D. and postdoctoral research involved studies on both ground effects of space weather and complex nonlinear dynamics of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. 2011-2013 Dr. Pulkkinen worked as an Associate Director of Institute for Astrophysics and Computational Sciences and as an Associate Professor at The Catholic University of America (CUA). At CUA Dr. Pulkkinen launched a new Space Sciences and Space Weather program crafted to educate the next generation space weather scientists and operators. Dr Pulkkinen entered NASA civil service in 2013 to lead the Space Weather Research Center that provided heliophysics science and space weather services to NASA's robotic mission. 2017-2020 Dr Pulkkinen was the Deputy Director for the NASA GSFC Heliophysics Science Division.

The sophisticated interactions of neural control systems with the body and mind has limited our ability to predict the effects of neural interfaces in advance\, which forces the field to rely on painstaking animal experiments to test and design the devices. This work presents an alternate way forward using new functionally predictive hybrid models that let us prototype and test neural interfaces in cheap\, low-risk settings to get the most out of the cumbersome and expensive animal and human studies that require implanted electrodes. The key innovation is to combine parts of traditionally separate model systems (animal\, human\, mathematical\, or statistical) into hybrid frameworks that use the strengths of each type to make accurate\, use-case predictions about the effects of new neural interfaces.\nDetails:\nDATE: Thursday\, December 2\, 2021\nTIME: 4:00-5:00 pm\nLOCATION: Cooley G906\nZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97723483179 UID:89543-21664063@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location - Cooley G906 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211202T181531 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T173000 SUMMARY:Other:3rd Year Analytical Student Seminars DESCRIPTION:Analytical\n Analytical Seminar Speaker UID:89241-21661209@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/89241 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biosciences,Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211101T123043 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Crafting a Diversity Statement: Tips for the Academic Job Search and Beyond!

Register here: https://myumi.ch/V75p9\n\nDescription: Pioneering advances in material culture studies over the past half-century and more sustained engagements with (some branches of) postcolonial theory have emboldened historians of the ancient Mediterranean to grant more and more space in their scholarship to the resistance strategies and survival tactics of imperially minoritized groups. At the root of this intensifying attachment to narratives of resistance is the belief that histories of the subaltern can be written\; all we need to do is “read against the grain” of the literary sources\, or avail ourselves of new frameworks for interpreting non-literary material evidence\, in order to recover these histories. Organizing itself around the concept of epistemicide\, my paper will reevaluate this historiographical tendency and propose some alternatives.\n\nBiography: Dan-el Padilla Peralta is associate professor of classics at Princeton University.

Niseko\, Hokkaido\, for example\, has become an international skiing destination. Kirk Patterson thinks that Japan has what it takes to become a marine tourism mecca\, attracting people from around the world who want to swim\, surf\, kayak\, sail\, fish….or just enjoy leisurely strolls on beautiful beaches….and savor delicious Japanese seafood in the evening.\n\nKirk Patterson had a 25-year management career in Tokyo\, including cofounding Japan’s first investor relations company\; being AIG’s Regional VP for Corporate Communications in Japan and Korea\; and serving as president/dean of Temple University Japan. He took early retirement in 2007 to pursue his long-delayed desire to become an offshore sailor\, returning to Canada and spending four years teaching himself how to sail. He then sailed to Hawaii (where he spent a year working as a Waikiki bartender) and then on to Japan\, devoting three years to a full circumnavigation of the country (the first by a foreigner) and then another three years cruising western Japan. He swallowed the anchor two years ago and now\, based in Fukuoka\, operates Konpira Consulting\, a marine-tourism company.\n\nRegister for this Zoom event here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_z3u_0SC3TVu3vx5xdP03hQ\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

The opener and title track pairs a delicate vocal with lithely plucked acoustic strings as he urges everyone to\, “Shine on\, shine on.” UID:71504-17836314@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/71504 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211130T181517 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Student Chamber Music Series DESCRIPTION:Chamber music groups of all combinations present programs featuring music from old to new for strings\, woodwinds\, brass\, and piano.\n\n\n \nKleine Kammermusik for Wind Quintet\, op. 24\, no. 2 - Paul Hindemith\nJade Juleps \nLeo Viglietti\, flute\; Jonathan Krause\, oboe\;\nAnnie McPherson\, clarinet\; Eddie Martinez\, bassoon\; Riley Rich\, horn\n\nSonata for 2 Violins in C Major\, op. 56 - Sergei Prokofiev \nFiona Cunningham-Murray & Caleb Zhang\, violin\n\nTrombone Quartet no. 1 - Saskia Apon \nCooper Cromwell-Whitley\, Yuki Mori\, Shonn Olegario & Avery Wolf\, trombone \n\nQuintet in G Minor\, op. 39 - Sergei Prokofiev \nSarah Pinto\, oboe\; Lia Boncoeur\, clarinet\nMay Tang\, violin\; Julia Daniels\, viola\; Emani Barber\, bass\n\nAcht Stücke (Eight Pieces)\, op. 83 - Max Bruch \nDrew Franklin\, clarinet\; Jacob Westerbeke\, viola\; Tzu Kuang Tan\, piano\n\nClarinet Trio in D Minor\, op. 3 - Alexander Zemlinsky \nCraig Swink\, clarinet\; Jonathan Lien\, cello\; Theron Masters\, piano\n\nString Quartet No. 4 in E Minor\, op. 44\, no. 2 - Felix Mendelssohn \nEugenia Cho & Kathy Zhang\, violin\nJulia Daniels\, viola\; Priscilla Kim\, cello\n\nPiano Trio in G Minor\, Op.15\, JB 1:64 - Bedrich Smetana \nJordan Bartel\, violin\; Emma Cary\, cello\; Tzu Kuang Tan\, piano\n\n\n\nattend in person - no tickets/reservations required\nwatch online at http:/myumi.ch/StampsWatch UID:87941-21647914@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/87941 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20211217T183034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20211202T210000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Zed Factor Fellowship Information Session DESCRIPTION:On December 2nd @ 8:00 PM ET\, the Zed Factor Fellowship is hosting an Informational Session for you to learn more about the Zed Factor Fellowship. \n\nMeet the Founding Team and ask all your questions about applying to the Zed Factor Fellowship!
