Exhibition:A Prison, a Prisoner, and a Prison Guard
2025-02-12 08:00 - 23:00 (America/Detroit) | Hatcher Graduate Library - North Lobby
Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.

Curated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.

Plan to attend the related discussion, "Art, Justice, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice," on February 6.

Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
2025-02-12 08:00 - 23:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor
The exhibit "Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research, narratives, demographic data, and a variety of visual and published materials, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.

The 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as "two or more races" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan, throughout the country, and across the globe, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
2025-02-12 08:00 - 17:00 | Weiser Hall - Room 1010
The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky), ritual cloths (rushnyky), and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine; some stitches are universally known, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.

To see photos and read more about exhibited items, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA

The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein, Solomia Soroka, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck, Michigan.

The exhibit opens on September 5, 2024, in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.

*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
2025-02-12 09:00 - 17:00 | North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connection Gallery
The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. In them, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it, for example, a history book, an instruction manual, or a magazine advertisement), placed on a white background like some kind of specimen, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront, contrast and converse with each other, and thereby build new relationships, narratives, jokes, and contexts.

Andy Ross grew up in Macomb County, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography, art, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools, galleries, and museums across the United States.

Exhibition:Chimera
2025-02-12 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Gallery
*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film, also titled *Chimera*, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking, layering the architecture of film, movement, and world-building to probe themes of identity, resistance, and creation. Complete details at https://myumi.ch/kZbyp.

Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
2025-02-12 09:00 - 17:00 | North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery
This body of work represents a playful exploration of form, color, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life, the pieces are a celebration of growth, transformation, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials, such as wood balls and paint, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.
Born in Detroit, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.
Elizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design, with First Class Honours, from Central Saint Martins in London, a BFA from the University of Michigan, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry, sculpture, and installation, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production, growth, transformation, and organic form.

Exhibition:On the World With the World
2025-02-12 09:00 - 17:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Institute for the Humanities Osterman Common Room, #1022
*On The World With The World* is an exhibition of 40 artworks by over 24 artists from the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC) program. PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.

This exhibition introduces the PASC program, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art, disabilities, and questions of access in the art world.

PASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape, 1917-1923
2025-02-12 09:00 - 16:30 | East Quadrangle - RC Art Gallery
The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919.

Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States.

The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
2025-02-12 09:00 - 16:00 | Lane Hall
In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.

Based on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term "crown" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman, Tanisha Kennedy, Felecia McDaniel, Shantell Elaine McCoy, Tamara Lynn Myles, and Veleria Banks.

Through their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.

The exhibit will be on view from January 21, 2025 to August 8, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, and Michigan Medicine.

Located on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street), the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.

Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
2025-02-12 09:00 - 20:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room, 1st floor
View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses, which, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design, letterpress printing, handmade paper, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.

The display opens with an edition of "The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer," published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.

These books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Other:Leaves Under the Lens
2025-02-12 10:00 - 20:00 | Matthaei Botanical Gardens
The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects, absorb (or repel!) water, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again!

This project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

Exhibition:A Gathering
2025-02-12 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse
Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time.

As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.

This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.

So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Curated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy

Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
2025-02-12 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art
Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.

Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.

In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.

By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.

“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”

— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
2025-02-12 11:02 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.
Artist’s bio:
Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples.

Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

Lecture / Discussion:Brown Bag Seminar | Strong CP and Flavor
2025-02-12 12:00 - 13:00 | Randall Laboratory - 3481
I will discuss a class of multi-Higgs doublet extensions of the Standard Model that solves the strong CP problem with profound consequences for the flavor sector. A flavor symmetry, G, that acts on Higgs and quark fields is a key feature of these theories. CP and G are only softly broken in the scalar potential, so that for certain choices of G charges, the strong CP parameter is zero at tree-level. I will then discuss radiative corrections in this class of theories, as well as the contribution from higher-dimensional operators and the connections with the hierarchies observed in quark masses and mixing angles.

Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
2025-02-12 12:00 - 13:30 | Off Campus Location
Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy, activism, policy, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships, center community-defined priorities, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.

Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
2025-02-12 12:00 - 16:00 | William Clements Library
The American past was lived in full color, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid, if not downright dull. But look a little closer, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore, to the games they played, or the books they read, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.

Exhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Well-being:Unlocking the 5th Cornerstone of Well-Being: Clarity
2025-02-12 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
Join us for an immersive session on "Clarity" , the 5th of the Five C’s of well-Being: Contentment, Calmness, Compassion, Courage, and Clarity. These are states of Being and form the foundation of psychological balance, emotional wellness, and mental clarity, leading to a life filled with happiness, fulfillment, and purpose.

*Clarity* is the state of being where one is free from duality and delusions and receives inner guidance from the heart. Living from the heart means aligning your thoughts, actions, and decisions with your deepest truths, values, and intuitive wisdom. It involves embracing love, compassion, authenticity, and a genuine connection with yourself and others. When you live from the heart, clarity arises naturally because your actions and choices are guided by an inner sense of purpose and harmony.

*Alignment with Authenticity*
When you live authentically, you align with your true self, free from societal pressures or ego-driven motives. This alignment eliminates internal conflict, making decisions simpler and clearer.

*Intuition as a Compass*
The heart connects you to your intuition, which often knows the truth beyond the mind’s doubts or distractions. By trusting this inner wisdom, you can navigate life’s complexities with confidence and clarity.

*Freedom from Overthinking*
The heart operates through feeling and presence, while the mind often overanalyzes and creates confusion. Living from the heart quiets mental noise, allowing clarity to emerge effortlessly.

*Focus on What Truly Matters*
The heart prioritizes love, connection, and meaning over superficial concerns. This focus helps you distinguish between what is essential and what is trivial, simplifying life and fostering clear decision-making.

*Resonance with Universal Truths*
The heart is attuned to universal principles like kindness, gratitude, and harmony. Acting in alignment with these truths brings clarity, as your actions are rooted in timeless wisdom rather than fleeting desires.

*Inner Peace and Emotional Balance*
The heart is a source of calm and centeredness. When you are emotionally balanced, clarity flows naturally because you are not clouded by reactive emotions or fears.

Clarity in the workplace leads to decisions that are based on values and reflect authenticity and purpose, leading to inclusivity, collaboration and growth.
In this session, you’ll learn how to develop clarity through the practice of meditation and living from the heart. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore this foundational cornerstone of well-being though in-depth discussions and insights from meditation.

The session is Remote over Zoom and upon registration you will have the Zoom MeetingId and Passcode

Workshop / Seminar:Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) Webinar Series
2025-02-12 14:00 - 15:00 | Off Campus Location
This webinar will provide an overview of dramatic changes in courtship processes, spouse choice and interrelationships between courtship process and marital instability. Using the data from Chitwan Valley Family Study, a non-Western setting, which until recently was characterized as a society with arranged marriage, gender segregated marital relationships, loveless marriages and very low level of divorce, we investigate the role of couple’s concordance in reporting courtship shaping the relationships between courtship and marital instability. Understanding the complexities between concordance in courtship and marital instability is essential for developing interventions and support systems that promote healthy and stable marriages. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation.

The webinar will be hosted using Zoom. Registration is required to attend the webinar. Support provided by NICHD (R25 HD101358). Click the link below to register.

Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: Corresponding simplicial generators to nested matroid quotients
2025-02-12 14:30 - 15:30 | East Hall - 4088
Last week David taught us a new set of generators of the Chow ring of a matroid called the simplicial generators. In the special case when our matroid is the uniform matroid of rank and dimension n, the Chow ring agrees with the Chow ring of the permutahedron, a particularly nice toric variety. I will show that in this case, the simplicial generators correspond to nested quotients of matroids on n elements. The tool I will introduce relating the two are Minkowski weights, which give an alternate description of the Chow rings of toric varieties. Either at the end of my talk or in our talk week, we will use this relationship to analyze the kernel of the surjection from the Chow ring of the permutahedron Sigma_n to the Chow ring of a matroid with ground set [n], leading to a proof of Poincare duality.

Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Non-Reciprocal Phase Transitions
2025-02-12 15:00 - 16:00 | West Hall - 340
Spontaneous synchronization is at the core of many natural phenomena. Your heartbeat is maintained because cells contract in a synchronous wave; some bird species synchronize their motion into flocks; quantum synchronization is responsible for laser action and superconductivity.

The transition to synchrony, or between states of different patterns of synchrony, is a dynamical phase transition that has much in common with conventional phase transitions of state – for example solid to liquid, or magnetism – but the striking feature of driven dynamical systems is that the components are “active”. Consequently quantum systems with dissipation and decay are described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, and active matter can abandon Newton’s third law and have non-reciprocal interactions. This substantially changes the character of many-degree-of-freedom dynamical phase transitions between steady states and the critical phenomena in their vicinity, since the critical point is an “exceptional point” where eigenvalues become degenerate and eigenvectors coalesce.

We will illustrate this in several different systems – a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons, models of multicomponent active matter such as flocks of birds, generalized Kuramoto models, and others. We argue that there is a systematic theory and generalized phase diagram, and corresponding universality behaviors determined by the symmetry of the models.

Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
2025-02-12 15:00 - 16:00
In the United States, many people participate in what is called "small talk", where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics, such as the weather, sports, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship. For example, while waiting for an interview, in line at a M-Den, or in an elevator on campus, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about "small talk", now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

Lecture / Discussion:Gilbert S. Omenn Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics Weekly Seminar
2025-02-12 16:00 - 17:00 | Palmer Commons - Forum Hall
Abstract:
Advancements in multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing neuroimaging, offering solutions to longstanding clinical and operational challenges. This talk explores how foundation models trained on large-scale, multimodal datasets can optimize diagnostic accuracy, streamline workflows, and address healthcare disparities. By leveraging diverse neuroimaging data, these models integrate visual and linguistic modalities to extract generalizable features, enabling precise diagnostics across a wide spectrum of neurological conditions. Their capabilities extend to real-time applications, such as intraoperative decision-making, where rapid and interpretable predictions enhance surgical outcomes. These AI systems demonstrate superior performance compared to traditional methods, achieving high diagnostic accuracy while maintaining fairness across patient demographics and healthcare settings. Emphasizing scalability and generalizability, these approaches not only improve diagnostic workflows but also reduce bias and expand access to advanced neuroimaging in low-resource environments. Attendees will gain insights into the transformative potential of multimodal AI, from improving patient care to setting new benchmarks in the integration of artificial intelligence into healthcare systems.

Workshop / Seminar:Van Eenam Lecture #2 Optimal Control of Conditional Processes
2025-02-12 16:00 - 17:00 | East Hall - 1360
In this talk, we consider the conditional control problem introduced by P.L. Lions in his lectures at the College de France in November 2016. As originally stated, the problem does not fit in the usual categories of control problems considered in the literature, so its solution requires new ideas, if not new technology. In his lectures, Lions emphasized some of the major differences with the analysis of classical stochastic optimal control problems and in so doing, raised the question of the possible differences between the value functions resulting from optimization over the class of Markovian controls as opposed to the general family of open loop controls. While the equality of these values is accepted as a "folk theorem" in the classical theory of stochastic control, optimizing an objective function whose values strongly depend upon the past history of the controlled trajectories of the system is a strong argument in favor of differences between the optimization results over these two different classes of control processes. The goal of the talk is to elucidate this quandary and provide elements of response to Lions' original conjecture. We shall report on the solution of the "soft killing" case published in a joint work with M. Lauriere and P.L.Lions in the Illinois Journal of Mathematics, a recent "conditional mimicking" theorem proven with D. Lacker, and further investigations currently worked out with S. Daudin.

Legendary Hollywood tubist and composer Jim Self presents a master class with students from the U-M Tuba & Euphonium Studio. Free and open to the public; presented as part of a campus residency with Dr. Self sponsored by the Sally Fleming Guest Master Class Fund.

JIM SELF is a Los Angeles based freelance and studio musician, a veteran of thousands of motion pictures, television shows and records, and tuba soloist on many prominent movies. His tuba was the "Voice of the Mothership" in *Close Encounters of the Third Kind*. Other solos can be heard in many of John Williams' sound tracks including *Home Alone* I & II, and *Jurassic Park*, James Horner's *Casper*, Jerry Goldsmith's *Dennis the Menace* and Marc Shaiman's *Sleepless in Seattle*. For many years he was first tuba for John Williams, James Horner, James Newton Howard, John Debney, and others. Jim has recorded with hundreds of artists including Placid Domingo, Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and Don Ellis. He is principal Tuba/Cimbasso with the Pacific and Pasadena Symphonies, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the Los Angeles Opera Orchestras. He has recently worked on *Star Wars* VII,VIII and IX and *Indiana Jones* 5 with Williams. In the 2007-2008 season, Pacific Symphony commissioned him to write a feature work called "Tour de Force". This 13 minute piece was premiered in April 2008 at the Symphony's home, the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Hall in Orange County. To date Jim has composed over 100 works for symphony, band, brass band, chamber music and solo works.

Born in 1943 in Franklin, Pennsylvania, Self holds degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Catholic University, and a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Southern California, where he recently retired after 48 years as Adjunct Professor of tuba and chamber music. In March 2003, Self was given a Distinguished Alumni Award by Indiana University of Pennsylvania - a university-wide honor only given to 290 of its more than 100,000 graduates. In addition, in June 2008 Self received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Tuba-Euphonium Association at the Cincinnati Conservatory. In the March 2019 issue of the AFM *International Musician* Jim was on the cover and featured in an extensive story. Early in his career he was in the U.S. Army Band in Washington, DC and was the Tuba professor at the University of Tennessee. Jim has produced 23 solo jazz and classical recordings that feature jazz greats like Gary Foster, Pete Christlieb, Francisco Torres, Ron Kalina and Warren Luening. Many feature his own unique instrument, the FLUBA (picture a tuba-sized Flugel Horn). His latest recordings are *Flying Circus*, Music for Brass Quintet – all original music by Jim Self featuring 25 of the top brass players in Los Angeles including 10 members of the Pacific Symphony; *Out on the Coast* – a triple CD by the 13-piece David Angel Jazz Ensemble; and three Duo jazz CDs with guitarist John Chiodini: *Floating in Winter, *The Light Fantastic*, *Hangin Out*, *Touch and Go* and *Feels So Good*. While most of Jim’s CDs are Jazz, several are Classical too. His music is available fro Potenza Music and recordings are available from: www.jimself.com and Bandcamp.com.

An award-winning vocalist, he has performed with The Chieftains, Eileen Ivers, Carlos Nunez, Billy Strings, Bela Fleck, Altan, Ajeet and Mumford & Sons, amongst others.

David’s first solo album has been called “a thing of rare beauty” by the Irish Times. The four star review of for Venus commends the album as pointing to “a richly creative period that he has embraced to the full. All of which augurs well for this album’s transition to live performance.”

​Now, David Howley steps into his second album with the release of "Shadow," a song that reimagines the ancient tale of Eurydice and Orpheus. This track dives into the complexities of love and loss, weaving a story that’s both timeless and deeply personal.

The song promises to draw listeners into a vibrant emotional journey, one that exemplifies his ability to blend mythic storytelling with the raw realities of the human heart.

Recorded in a tiny cabin in the town of Kenmare in County Kerry, Ireland, his new songs resonate with a wide range of audiences, taking them to places undiscovered. With soulful vocals, evocative storytelling, and enchanting melodies, he creates an otherworldly, time-bending magic. Inspired by ancient legends and raw emotions, Howley is a modern poet with traditional chops.
