SUMMARY:Presentation:Friezes and geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A fundamental problem in distance geometry aims to recover a finite tuple of points\, viewed up to oriented isometry\, from a small collection of input measurements. This thesis explores approaches to this problem based on the use of frieze patterns\, numerical arrays whose entries satisfy certain local algebraic relations.\n\nThe thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on quadratic 3-term relations that underlie Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns. It surveys and extends existing work interpreting the values appearing in these relations as geometric measurement data\, and establishes direct connections between several geometric contexts in which these relations arise.\n\nThe aim of the second part of the thesis is to exhibit the broader applicability of frieze patterns as a tool in distance geometry. We identify measurement data that determines a finite configuration of points on a two-dimensional sphere in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Extending the work of Fomin and Setiabrata\, we introduce spherical Heronian and Cayley-Menger frieze patterns that organize this measurement data. Like classical Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns\, these new frieze patterns exhibit glide symmetry and a form of the Laurent phenomenon.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Migration as Imagination — with Writer and Journalist Ismail Einashe
DESCRIPTION:Join Ismail Einashe\, award-winning British-Somali writer and 2025/26 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow\, for a deeply personal presentation exploring how art can reclaim the humanity of migrants and their stories\, too often lost in the headlines of global displacement.\n\nDrawing on his decade of reporting on migration\, alongside artists including Mona Hatoum\, Arshile Gorky\, Tania Bruguera\, and his recent book *Strangers* by Tate Publishing—as well as his own journey from Somalia to Britain—Einashe will recontextualize the migrant experience as an act of imagination\, showing how art has the ability to challenge our dominant cultural narratives and bring us closer to the struggles and humanity of people we too easily categorize as ‘strangers’.\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Invariants of Plabic Links
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Plabic graphs were introduced by Postnikov in order to study a stratification of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian. To each plabic graph\, one can associate a quiver\, which is a directed graph that encodes a cluster algebra\, as well as a link. In this thesis\, we study invariants of these links\, called plabic links\, and their connections to the plabic graphs' quivers. \n\nWe focus primarily on forest quivers\, which are quivers whose underlying graphs are forests. We define the HOMFLY polynomial of a forest quiver and show that it agrees with the HOMFLY polynomial of any plabic link coming from a connected plabic graph whose quiver is that forest quiver. We define this polynomial recursively and also prove a closed formula for it. We will also comment on a way to extend the definition of part of this polynomial to some other acyclic quivers. Finally\, we discuss the Khovanov-Rozansky homology of certain plabic links associated to forest quivers and describe how to recursively compute it for a subset of these links.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Fast Summation for Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \n\nGeophysical fluid dynamics is the study of fluids on the sphere in which  the Coriolis force plays an important role\, and is of great interest and importance\, both theoretically and practically\, as the foundation of modern weather and climate modeling. Many problems in geophysical fluid dynamics can be formulated in a way to take advantage of convolutions and fast summation techniques\, which are methods for approximating integral transforms quickly.\n\nThe thesis starts by presenting a Cubed Sphere Fast Multipole Method (CSFMM) that is suitable for $O(N)$ fast summation on the sphere\, adapting techniques from the Barycentric Lagrange Tree Code and the Barycentric Lagrange Dual Tree Traversal Fast Multipole Method for use for problems with spherical geometry\, and showing a number of speed up and error results\, demonstrating that the CSFMM is both fast and accurate for a variety of different problems. This technique is then applied to three different problems.\n\nThe first problem is that of computing Self Attraction and Loading in ocean models\, an important term encompassing physical effects relating to the gravitation of water and the elastic deformation of the Earth. The computation of Self Attraction and Loading has been challenging in the past\, mainly being computed using a scalar approximation or using spherical harmonics. This thesis demonstrates a new technique for computing the Self Attraction and Loading by deriving a new integral kernel for the problem\, before then discussing the implementation of this convolution and CSFMM in the Modular Ocean Model.\n\nThe next problem is that of solving the Barotropic Vorticity Equation with a Lagrangian Particle Method. This equation describes the conservation of potential vorticity for a two dimensional incompressible inviscid fluid on a rotating sphere. The fluid velocity can be related to the vorticity through a Biot-Savart law\, and when discretized using a Lagrangian particle Method\, the dynamics naturally admit a formulation as a $N$-body problem\, to which we apply the CSFMM. The accuracy and speed of this technique is tested\, before using the method to explore a variety of problems.\n\nLastly\, the previous solver is extended to work for the Shallow Water Equations\, an equation set which in addition to vorticity effects\, also allows for fluid divergence. For this problem\, the Biot-Savart law is more complicated\, incorporating both vorticity and divergence. This solver is then tested on a range of test cases to check for accuracy. Additionally\, this solver is designed for portability\, including with graphical processing units\, allowing for significant speedups.

SUMMARY:Presentation:FORMS: Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS) on Monday\, March 23rd\, in 1014 Tisch for a presentation from Glenn Ellis (Middle East Studies) titled \"Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage\". This presentation will explore the etiquette of marriage as seen in a Safavid Shī’ī compendium of hadith\, Ḥilyat al-Mottaqīn or The Adornment of the Pious\, written by Moḥammad-Bāqir Majlisī\, a significant scholar. Published in 1671 in Persian\, Majlisī’s book was intended for an everyday audience and describes quotidian customs in great detail. One of the most striking hadith in the chapter on marriage notes prohibited and exhorted times of day for sexual intercourse\, and it further reveals medical ideas of generation and ways to ensure the morality of one’s offspring and thus society as a whole. This chapter is a useful case study on the expectations held of marriage\, and indicates the specificity of religious instruction for one who wanted to be an exemplary Muslim. By studying this text\, we can gain a richer picture of the expectations\, ideals\, and boundaries of Safavid marriage as well as ideals of reproduction.\n\nGlenn Ellis is a first year PhD student in Middle Eastern Studies. They graduated from Hampshire College in 2022 with a concentration in Medieval Middle Eastern History\, and their thesis focused on race and race-making in Persian mirrors for princes and epic poems. Interested in Persian literature very broadly\, they also Judeo-Persian\, Judeo-Arabic\, and Arabic\, and use these languages to better contextualize Persian poetry. Their interests include race and race-making\, romance and epic\, and comparative poetics. In their spare time they enjoy cooking\, baking without a recipe\, and fiber arts.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sameroff Lecture | Celebrating and Leveraging Dr. Arnold Sameroff’s Legacy: From Transaction to Transformation: Integrating Developmental Theory\, Context\, and Preventive Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Renowned developmental scientist Dr. Velma McBride Murry will deliver this year’s distinguished lecture honoring the legacy of Arnold J. Sameroff. The keynote will highlight the enduring influence of Sameroff’s transactional model of development\, which transformed the field of developmental psychology by demonstrating that children and their environments shape one another through ongoing\, dynamic exchanges. Drawing from her landmark longitudinal research with African American families—including the Strong African American Families (SAAF) and Pathways for African Americans Success (PAAS) programs—McBride Murry will illustrate how culturally grounded\, community-partnered\, family-centered interventions bring transactional theory into practice. Her work shows that strengthening parenting\, racial socialization\, and family processes can reduce risk behaviors\, promote resilience\, and improve long-term developmental and health outcomes for youth during critical developmental periods. This lecture celebrates Sameroff’s theoretical vision while showcasing how Murry’s translational research carries that legacy forward—advancing equity\, prevention science\, and the next generation of developmental scholarship.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 6
DESCRIPTION:A small number of East European manuscripts of magic and practical kabbalah enumerate recipes directed at disabling a specific function of Lilith focused on replacing or substituting a healthy human child with a disformed\, physically\, or mentally disabled demonic one. Designated by the Yiddish term\, banem ביינעם (to take\, replace\, or substitute)\, which appears in these manuscripts with an abundance of variant spellings\, expose the influence of local dialects and diverse linguistic usage. As several recipes attest\, the switching could occur either in utero or within a few weeks after birth. The wealth of magical formulas\, designed to chain Lilith’s power to carry out child substitution or replacement\, reflect pervasive anxieties among Jews concerning the mental and physical health of newborns. Dread and fear were powerful emotional triggers in the mythical presentation of Lilith’s child stealing activities prompting individuals and members of the Jewish community to seek effective cures from Jewish miracle healers\, designated as Ba’alei Shem or Masters of the Name. My talk will trace six types of curative options against child switching: nature-based formulas\; the use of Hebrew divine and angelic names\, amplified by the ten sefirot\; historiolae\; diagrammatic-visual amulets\; illocutionary speech acts\; and combined formulas to highlight that concerns about children’s wellbeing comprised a shared cultural-religious space between Jews and their Slavic neighbors and occupied a place of vital importance for the care and wellbeing of Jewish family and communal life.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Highest resolution imaging of the dust destruction rim of planet-forming disks using the CHARA Array
DESCRIPTION:Star and planet formation processes are among the least understood problems in astrophysics\, generating numerous theories and questions over the decades. At this moment\, there is no one comprehensive\, predictive theory that can quantitatively explain how planetary systems form and eventually bring on life. Nevertheless\, observational techniques are continually improving and progressing our understanding\, providing new answers and questions about this elusive process. In particular\, observations of young stars with dusty circumstellar disks hold key information that can help us answer questions about the formation of stellar systems\, both similar to and different from our own. These disks are the birthplace of planets\; they set the initial conditions for planet formation and host different physical processes across a large spatial range that change the morphology and composition of the disks as they evolve. The inner <1 astronomical unit (AU) regions are especially intriguing and will be the focus of this thesis. This is where star/disk interactions occur\, including regulating the accretion of material onto the star\, defining the dust sublimation front\, hosting jets and winds that eject material outward\, and placing limits on giant planet migration. The challenge to directly study these regions lies in the sub-milliarcsecond resolution required to resolve such small scales\, which is unattainable by the world's largest singular optical telescopes or even the sub-millimeter interferometer ALMA. With the advent of long baseline optical interferometry\, we finally have the resolving power required to probe the disks at the innermost regions. In this thesis\, I use the world's largest optical interferometer\, the CHARA Array\, to study the inner regions of young stars on the more massive end\, Herbig Ae/Be stars\, as well as the lower mass T Tauri stars.\n\n\nI present new images and models of Herbig Be stars and characterize the disks of T Tauri stars in H- and K-bands. I present the first images of two Herbig Be stars\, V1295 Aql and MWC340. With observations using the upgraded MIRC-X instrument at the CHARA Array\, and semi-simultaneous data from VLTI's H-band combiner PIONIER\, I find a face-on disk around V1295 Aql showing asymmetries\, mysterious inner emission\, and first-ever imaged evidence of temporal variation at the inner rim. Imaging MWC340 led to an exciting discovery\, unexpectedly revealing two disks instead of one.  I use H- and K-band observations taken over 5 years at the CHARA array to resolve the binary systems\, place constraints on the orbital parameters\, and derive new stellar parameters for each central star. Furthermore\, I explore the lower mass regime of young stars with a multi-wavelength survey of T Tauri stars at the highest resolution. I led a 4-year observing campaign at the CHARA Array with the newly-commissioned K-band instrument MYSTIC\, which was specifically designed to image the redder\, fainter stars. I present the initial results of a sample of the survey using geometric models to characterize their sizes and geometry. I consistently find the disk sizes to be larger in the K-band versus the H-band\, meaning that the dusty disk gets more resolved at longer wavelengths. I discuss any interesting findings for individual objects and comment on results from previous studies when applicable.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Learning Structured Reward Representations for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chair: Necmiye Ozay\n\nAbstract: \nLearning from demonstrations is one of the most natural and powerful paradigms for acquiring intelligent behavior. Among its most prominent formulations is inverse reinforcement learning (IRL)\, which has achieved remarkable success in domains such as robotics and autonomous driving. Yet despite this promise\, IRL remains fundamentally challenged by ill-posedness: the same observed behavior can often be explained by many different underlying objectives. If an agent moves from point A to point B\, is it because it is attracted to B\, repelled by A\, or optimizing something more subtle entirely? From behavior alone\, the answer is generally ambiguous.\nThis dissertation addresses several foundational questions at the heart of inverse reinforcement learning. First\, it investigates which environments and dynamics are inherently suitable for learning from demonstrations. Second\, it studies how \"rationality priors\" can be incorporated to regularize the ambiguity of IRL and improve identifiability. Finally\, it develops methods for inferring latent memory structure directly from demonstrations\, enabling classical IRL techniques to extend beyond Markovian assumptions to the richer setting of multi-stage tasks with history-dependent\, non-Markovian rewards.\n\nRobotics Atrium & on Zoom (Passcode: 19982001)

SUMMARY:Presentation:Some Analytic and Topological Aspects of the Theory of Hodge Modules
DESCRIPTION:This thesis concerns several applications of the analytic and topological theory of Saito's Hodge modules. The first part of the thesis gives an analytic proof of Saito's vanishing theorem by going back to the original idea of Kodaira. The second part concerns several natural Hodge modules on toric varieties\, focusing on understanding the Hodge theoretic properties of the singularities of toric varieties. The last part of the thesis concerns various hypersurfaces that seem to be important for understanding the (compactified) period map defined on the GIT moduli space of Calabi--Yau type hypersurfaces.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Developmental Psychology Visiting Scholar Talk | Understanding the development of literacy and the processes leading to fluent biliteracy
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Lorraine Nadelman Visiting Scholar Fund\n\nAbstract: \nDespite the growing number of bilingual children in the world\, current literacy models and early reading interventions remain largely monolingual in design\, not addressing the developmental stages of biliteracy development. However\, the idea that literacy development in two languages may be related for bilingual children learning to read and write is in accordance with the indisputable evidence that the bilingual’s two languages are simultaneously active during language acquisition and use even in situations in which individuals intend to produce or comprehend one language alone (e.g.\, Kroll et al.\, 2015). In this talk\, I will argue that both the development of literacy and the processes leading to fluent biliteracy can be examined through the Four Levels of Literacy Model (Alves & Finger\, 2023)\, which consists of a continuum of four complementary levels\, referred to as Sociometalinguistic Skills\, Alphabetic Literacy\, Textual Literacy\, and Social Literacy. I will also discuss the research that we are currently developing in my lab which investigates the developmental trajectories of phonological awareness and reading and writing skills in bilingual learners\, connecting these findings with some of my previous work that suggests the existence of an interrelated development of both receptive and productive skills in contexts of biliteracy instruction (Finger\, Lemke\, et al.\, 2024\; Finger & Weissheimer 2024\; Lemke et al.\, 2023\; Oliveira et al.\, 2025).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Ingrid Finger is a Full Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and the Graduate Program in Languages and Literature at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)\, Brazil\, where she runs the Bilingualism and Cognition Lab – LABICO since 2006. Her research explores the cognitive and linguistic underpinnings of literacy development in monolingual and bilingual children\, with a particular focus on how phonological awareness contributes to biliteracy acquisition across distinct bilingual education contexts. Through this work\, she addresses the universal\, language-specific\, and bilingual influences on child reading development and dyslexia She is the author of several books\, including Literacy in Monolingual and Bilingual Contexts\, co-authored with Ubiratã Kickhöfel Alves (Vozes\, 2023) and Literacy and Biliteracy: From Theory to Practice (Pontes\, 2025). She is a member of the Brazilian National Science for Education Network.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Connected and Protected: Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Regulatory Power of Social Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Social relationships are central to human life\, but how do they shape the ways the mind and body respond to threat\, safety\, and distress? In this talk\, I examine this question through a research program focused on the regulatory functions of social connection. I first ask why social disconnection is so distressing\, and what that can reveal about the role of social connection in human survival. I then explore how close others reduce distress\, considering the possibility that loved ones may do more than provide comfort—they may fundamentally alter how threat is processed. Finally\, I examine whether caregiving and prosocial behavior represent another important pathway through which social relationships regulate threat responses and influence well-being. Together\, this work highlights a central idea: social relationships are not simply part of the backdrop of human life\, but they fundamentally shape how our minds and bodies interpret and respond to reality.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments on the Third Floor Terrace\, East Hall

SUMMARY:Presentation:Korean Performing Arts Initiative | Landfill: Listening Party
DESCRIPTION:The album Landfill shares the artist Sunhong Kim's personal journey with the p'iri\, a Korean double-reed bamboo wind instrument. The artist first learned to play the instrument in a public middle school orchestra\, which was launched using concessions to the community after protests against a local landfill expansion. Although it took nearly a week just to produce a sound from the instrument's double reed\, the p'iri became the artist's life purpose and led them to study in Seoul. By embracing this origin story\, the debut album is meant as a gift for listeners who are unfamiliar with the p'iri. The music maps out the artist's personal progression with the instrument\, beginning with simple\, easy-listening versions of the Korean folksong Arirang from five different regions. The album then transitions to Sangnyeongsan puri\, a highly challenging solo piece requiring immense breath control that the artist once played at the final round of a national competition. Finally\, the music ventures into new territory\, pushing the p'iri beyond its traditional acoustic boundaries through the use of electronic mediation.\n   \n   The Landfill listening party at the Cluster Museum is a community art event introducing the p'iri\, a Korean bamboo wind instrument. Following opening remarks by ethnomusicologists Dr. Christi-Anne Castro and Dr. Hilary Finchum\, alongside Asian American composer Dr. Julie Zhu and an interdisciplinary artist Chien-An Yuan\, the event will feature live performances of the Korean folksong \"Arirang\" paired with recorded tracks from the p'iri musician/ethnomusicologist Sunhong Kim's debut album on the 1473 label. An interactive Q&A following the listening will allow guests to talk directly with the artist about her personal path and musical progression with the instrument.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us atoutreachkorea@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museum Studies Program\, Museums at Noon
DESCRIPTION:A central issue animating and transforming the museum sector today is the call to decolonize. This appeal began with Indigenous activists\, whose communities have been overwhelmingly hurt by the museum sector’s history and status quo. Museums of mass violence – Holocaust museums\, paradigmatic among them – have been largely exempt from decolonial critiques. As products of 20th and 21st-century social justice mandates and often created at the behest of survivor communities\, they seem at first glance not to be obvious targets for such scrutiny. Yet\, Holocaust museums are not free from entanglements with state power nor from inherited traditions and infrastructures of museum practice with their attendant biases\, exclusions\, and silences. This talk explores the potential value of decolonial museum theories and practices for Holocaust museums to renew and expand their social justice mandates.\n\nPresentation by Erica Lehrer\, PhD\, MSP04\; Professor of History at Concordia University (Montreal\, Canada)\; Winter 2026 Institute Fellow\, UM Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies

SUMMARY:Presentation:Irwin Pollack Lecture | Audiovisual Perception of Speech: Evidence of A Primitive Integrative Function
DESCRIPTION:How does a listener benefit from observing a talker visually? This classic problem of perception in practical work situations was introduced in a study by Sumby & Pollack in 1954. Their question remains vital. Their account calibrated a perceiver’s ability to take advantage at every degree of intelligibility of an opportunity to view the talker. Today’s accounts often treat a perceiver as a deaf viewer bound to a blind listener\, puzzling through the differing phonetic impressions which result from such different sensory opportunities. Other accounts suppose that the incommensurate dimensions of visual and auditory sensation are recoded into a hypothetically common amodal metric to permit phonetic analysis. Almost every account derives its evidence from small inventories of test items presented under minimal uncertainty\, and consider the role of phoneme incidence to guide perceptual analysis. I will discuss new evidence from our laboratory of intelligible audiovisual presentation of speech\, using auditory and visual components which are unintelligible presented individually. Perceivers reported their impressions of the utterances in open set transcription under minimally constrained conditions of uncertainty. Such phenomena are consistent with primitive intersensory combination on which perceptual analysis of audiovisual speech might truly depend.\n\nAbout the speaker: \nRobert E. Remez is Professor of Psychology at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, where he has taught since 1980. A native New Yorker\, Robert was a Predoctoral Research Trainee at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven\, and received the doctorate in 1978 from the University of Connecticut. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1971 from Brandeis University. At Barnard\, he has held an Ann Whitney Olin Chair\, has been Chair of the Departments of Psychology and Sociology\, and is Chair of the Columbia University Seminar on Language & Cognition. He is co-editor of both the first and second edition of the Handbook of Speech Perception\, and was Associate Editor of the journals Perception & Psychophysics and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance. In service to the research community\, he was a member of the Committee of Visitors for the Social\, Behavioral and Economic Sciences of the National Science Foundation\, and was a sitting member of the Communication Sciences Study Section of the Division of Research Grants and the Language and Communication Study Section of the Center for Scientific Review of the National Institutes of Health. He has been elected a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America\, the Association for Psychological Science\, the American Psychological Association\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and the Psychonomic Society. The Speech Perception Lab at Barnard has been supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health\, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke\, the National Science Foundation\, and a longstanding grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

SUMMARY:Presentation:A Novel Construction for $\mathfrak{sl}_4$ Webs
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The standard monomial basis for $\mathfrak{sl}_r$-invariant polynomials is indexed by rectangular standard Young tableaux\, but it lacks rotational invariance. Although promotion induces a cyclic action on tableaux\, a more symmetric basis is desirable. For $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and $\mathfrak{sl}_3$\, such bases are given by non-crossing matchings and non-elliptic $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ webs\, respectively. In the case of $\mathfrak{sl}_4$\, a web basis has recently been constructed using hourglass plabic graphs\, but this approach relies on intricate growth rules and does not readily generalize to higher rank.\n\nIn this thesis\, we introduce a simpler and more direct construction of $\mathfrak{sl}_4$ webs. Starting from a rectangular four-row standard Young tableau\, we construct the associated web by stacking the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ webs corresponding to the top three rows and the bottom three rows\, identifying along the non-crossing matching determined by the middle two rows. We prove that the resulting web is fully reduced and lies in the same equivalence class as the $\mathfrak{sl}_4$ web obtained via growth rules.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Effectiveness of Inductive Vehicle Charging to Alleviate EV Range Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This project evaluates the efficacy\, optimal placement\, and economic viability of inductive vehicle charging (IVC) technology. Using literature review\, stakeholder engagement\, and rigorous mathematical modeling\, we developed a comprehensive framework to identify high impact use cases for this emerging technology. The findings suggest that IVC is not a universal solution\, but a targeted tool within a rapidly evolving electrification landscape. It may serve as a bridging technology or a specialized solution for high utilization fleets\, rather than a permanent requirement for all electric mobility.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Sina Bahrami is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2019. His research develops optimization and decision-support tools for emerging mobility systems in smart cities\, with a focus on electric and automated vehicles. He has published 18 articles in leading transportation journals and his work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes and Popular Science.
