SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_June 26\, 2025 (3pm-5:30pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other two portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Taut foliations from knot diagrams
DESCRIPTION:Taut foliations have been a classical object of study in 3-manifolds theory. Recently\, new interest in them has come from the investigation of the so-called \"L-space conjecture\"\, that predicts that manifolds containing a co-orientable taut foliation can be characterised in terms of their Heegaard Floer homology and their fundamental group. A possible approach to the study of this conjecture is analysing Dehn surgeries on knots and links. Most of the techniques employed for constructing taut foliations on Dehn surgeries usually make use of some property of the exterior of the link\, for example its fiberedness. It is therefore interesting to address this study from a different perspective\, using other types of properties of knots and links. In this talk I will present a result about the existence of taut foliations on all non-trivial surgeries on knots with a special diagram.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION: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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontiers in Scientific Machine Learning Seminar 17: SALSA-RL: Stability Analysis in the Latent Space of Actions for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Date: July 11\, 2025\, 12 pm - 1 pm\nThis is a hybrid event. To join via Zoom: Meeting ID: 978 2352 7756\, Passcode: Enter last year in format YYYY\n\nTo join in person: 2004 Lay Auto Lab. Refreshments will be available!\n\nAbstract: Modern deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods have made significant advances in handling continuous action spaces. However\, real-world control systems--especially those requiring precise and reliable performance--often demand interpretability in the sense of a-priori assessments of agent behavior to identify safe or failure-prone interactions with environments. To address this limitation\, we propose SALSA-RL (Stability Analysis in the Latent Space of Actions)\, a novel RL framework that models control actions as dynamic\, time-dependent variables evolving within a latent space. By employing a pre-trained encoder-decoder and a state-dependent linear system\, our approach enables interpretability through local stability analysis\, where instantaneous growth in action-norms can be predicted before their execution. We demonstrate that SALSA-RL can be deployed in a non-invasive manner for assessing the local stability of actions from pretrained RL agents without compromising on performance across diverse benchmark environments. By enabling a more interpretable analysis of action generation\, SALSA-RL provides a powerful tool for advancing the design\, analysis\, and theoretical understanding of RL systems.\n\nBio: Romit Maulik is an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Computational Morphometrics of Half a Million Herbarium Specimens Reveals Lineage-Specific Evolutionary Dynamics in Climate-Leaf Trait Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDigitized herbarium collections facilitate access to hundreds of millions of preserved plant specimens\, enabling quantitative analysis of leaf morphology across taxonomic and geographic scales. This dissertation presents a computational framework that leverages machine learning\, computer vision\, large‐language models\, and novel mathematical methods to extract\, analyze\, and interpret leaf traits at scale. By combining lineage‐specific approaches with broad comparative analyses\, it establishes procedures for measuring traits across these vast datasets.\nChapter 2 introduces LeafMachine2\, a modular machine‐learning pipeline that automates quantitative trait extraction from digitized herbarium specimens. Trained on nearly half a million manual annotations from over two thousand species\, LeafMachine2 employs multiple neural networks to detect and segment individual leaves\, recognize rulers and labels\, and identify pseudo‐landmarks such as midvein length\, petiole length\, and lobe positions. This tool processes thousands of images per hour\, calculates pixel‐to‐metric conversion factors for most common scalebar types\, and generates standardized measurements (area\, perimeter\, Fourier descriptors\, and landmark‐based metrics) even when specimens contain occluded or overlapping leaves. By automating leaf extraction and measurement procedures\, LeafMachine2 removes a bottleneck in morphological data acquisition and lays the foundation for large‐scale analyses.\nChapter 3 presents FieldPrism\, a versatile hardware and software suite designed to extend quantitative trait collection to field photographs. FieldPrism employs a photogrammetric background template (FieldSheet) containing machine‐readable scale markers and optional QR codes for specimen identification. Coupled with a Raspberry Pi-based mobile imaging apparatus (FieldStation)\, FieldPrism automatically corrects image distortion\, computes pixel‐to‐metric conversion\, decodes QR codes to assign meaningful file names\, and embeds GPS metadata. Validation tests across smartphone\, mirrorless\, and machine‐vision cameras demonstrate high accuracy in scale conversion and reliable QR code decoding at typical working distances. FieldPrism enables the creation of “snapshot vouchers” that complement physical voucher specimens\, opening new possibilities for citizen science and field‐based trait collection.\nChapter 4 explores the integration of large language models (LLMs) into herbarium label transcription. VoucherVision combines optical character recognition with LLM‐based parsing to transform unstructured OCR text into structured spreadsheet entries. In practice\, VoucherVision increased transcription productivity by 25 percent over manual workflows. This chapter also examines potential risks like job displacement\, copyright and data sovereignty issues\, model permanence\, and outlines a collaborative benchmarking initiative to develop fine‐tuned\, community‐driven LLM solutions that respect data ownership and ensure reproducibility.\nChapter 5 applies LeafMachine2\, Euler characteristic transform (ECT)\, and a novel geomorphon‐based classification to analyze 4.6 million individual leaf outlines from nearly half a million herbarium specimens\, covering 12 angiosperm families and close to seven thousand species. ECT matrices capture topological signatures of each leaf outline\, while geomorphon analysis distills leaf margin features into continuous and categorical metrics that quantify toothedness and lobedness. By integrating WorldClim bioclimatic layers with dated phylogenies and analyzing the dataset using linear mixed-effects and phylogenetic regression models\, I demonstrate that the canonical climate–leaf trait associations—larger\, entire-margined leaves in warmer\, wetter environments and more toothed or lobed leaves in cooler\, drier locations—are clade-specific rather than universal across angiosperms. Instead\, family‐ and genus‐specific evolutionary regimes emerge. Phylogenetic correction often weakens climate-leaf area associations while strengthening leaf shape associations with minimum temperatures. Correlated‐trait analyses reveal that margin‐type evolution is climate‐dependent in some woody clades but independent in many herbaceous groups. Overall\, leaf traits are shaped by a dynamic interaction of developmental constraints\, phylogenetic history\, growth habit\, and climate.\nThis dissertation demonstrates that integrating machine learning\, artificial intelligence\, and innovative mathematical approaches transform digitized herbarium specimens into a rigorous analytical foundation for addressing foundational questions in leaf evolution and biogeography. Providing scalable\, streamlined workflows that operate at previously unattainable scales\, these contributions enable researchers to move beyond isolated case studies and achieve a holistic synthesis of how environment\, development\, and phylogenetic history interact to generate the extraordinary diversity of angiosperm leaf forms.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - Microbial legacies: effects on community structure\, function\, and response dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nLinking community structure to ecological function is a primary goal of community ecology. In microbial ecology\, advances in sequencing technology have allowed widespread profiling of community structure\, and putative functions. However\, whether such descriptive characterization has improved our ability to predict and model microbial response dynamics remains unclear. Structure-function relationships are particularly convoluted in microbial systems due to high levels of genetic diversity\, metabolic plasticity\, context dependency\, and widespread functional redundancy. To this end\, a wide body of research has shown that past events or historical community states can affect contemporary communities. However\, the ways in which legacy effects influence microbial diversity patterns and response dynamics\, particularly in the face of anthropogenic disturbance regimes\, remains poorly understood. Using both an observational and experimental approach\, my research aims to identify the signatures of legacy effects on microbial trait distributions\, and assess whether these effects constrain or augment community response trajectories. Focusing on both soil and freshwater ecosystems\, my research will investigate legacy effects from agricultural management practices and lake eutrophication\, two major drivers of global change. Additionally\, I will explore whether trait distributions and response patterns observed in the laboratory scale up to reflect those observed in a natural ecosystem\, affected by these stressors. Broadly\, my research will contribute to the overall understanding of the factors driving variation in microbial community structure\, and the role of past environmental states or selection regimes play in community functional stability.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_July 17\, 2025 (1:00pm-3:30pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other two portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Simulating Quantum Chemical Dynamics in Condensed Phases: Methodological Developments and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Quantum effects play a critical role in many problems of chemical dynamics in condensed phases. In this presentation\, I will introduce recent progress from our group on the development and application of the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) method\, a non-perturbative framework for accurately capturing the influence of environmental degrees of freedom on quantum systems. I will first highlight recent algorithmic advances that extend the method’s applicability to more complex systems. These include efficient treatments of the exponential decomposition of bath correlation functions for general spectral densities and low-temperature conditions\, as well as the integration of tensor network techniques to enable HEOM propagation involving thousands of effective modes. Several applications of the HEOM method will then be presented\, including charge transport and separation dynamics in organic semiconductors\; quantum coherence in excitation energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and related ultrafast spectroscopic phenomena\; and the dynamics of systems under strong light-matter interactions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Grad School 101: Research-Based Strategies for Ph.D. Students to Combat Impostor Phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever succeeded at an academic task even though you were convinced that you wouldn't do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work or avoid opportunities for critical feedback? Do you have trouble accepting praise or acknowledging your accomplishments? Do you worry about being exposed as an academic fraud? Have you ever questioned whether you belong at Michigan? Thoughts such as these are hallmarks of impostor thinking and are more common among graduate students than you realize. However\, they don't have to overshadow your academic and professional journey.Join us for this interactive\, two-hour workshop\, during which we will share insights from impostorism scholarship and provide research-based strategies for combating your impostor thoughts and feelings.\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: Define impostorism and highlight the variety of ways individuals and groups are most impacted\; Discuss individual\, system\, and institution level factors that contribute to impostorism\; Recognize maladaptive thought patterns and coping strategies that exacerbate impostor experiences\; Access tools and strategies to help interrupt your impostor cycle (all participants will receive a digital strategies workbook).\n\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan Ph.D. students. For faculty\, staff\, master’s students\, and postdoctoral fellows\, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_August 12\, 2025 (11:00am-2:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Taking Care: Finding Balance in Personal and Collective Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Join Wolverine Wellness for an interactive workshop created especially for student staff\, leaders\, and students in other helping roles who want to care for themselves and their communities more intentionally.\n\nIn the rush of daily life\, we often move so quickly that we don’t pause to check in with ourselves.

But tuning in to our early warning signs can help us respond with care.\n\nThis workshop will help you unpack the relationship between stress and the eight dimensions of wellness\, while offering practical strategies to strengthen your own resilience and show up for your peers with compassion and care.\n\nThrough this interactive session\, you will:\n\n\nUnderstand the difference between eustress and distress\nIdentify stressors in your own life and how they affect your well-being\nDiscuss short-term\, evidence-based stress reduction techniques\nDiscover campus resources for ongoing mental health support\nExplore how to care for your own well-being while supporting others in theirs\n\n\nWhether you're leading a student org\, mentoring others\, or simply trying to find balance\, this workshop will offer space to reflect\, connect\, and strengthen your capacity for well-being — individually and collectively.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Chemistry Safety Refresher Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Influencing Chemical Safety\, Guiding Tomorrow’s Science\n\nAbstract: Safety in the chemical sciences is too often seen as a matter of compliance — a box to check. Yet safety is far more than a set of rules. It is a rich domain of scientific inquiry\, human behavior\, organizational culture\, and passionate collaboration. While safety principles inform research across all American Chemical Society (ACS) journals\, they find dedicated focus in ACS Chemical Health & Safety (ACS CHAS). In this presentation\, Mary Beth Mulcahy\, Editor-in-Chief of ACS CHAS\, will share stories of articles that have reshaped her own thinking—from a graduate student who lost consciousness while collecting dry ice\, to an international collaboration between Stanford University and India’s Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research following a serious incident with acryloyl chloride\, to a candid discussion of a paper the journal ultimately chose not to publish. Through these examples\, the presentation will invite chemists to see publishing safety articles as a vibrant and essential part of advancing chemical research.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: The Science of Social Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Humans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nOn Aug. 25\, Richard Gonzalez and Brenda Volling will touch base on RCGD business and introduce the fall 2025 series at this kick-off event.\n\nThese events will be held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\n\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Local character expansion for mod-ell representations
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Howe and Harish-Chandra showed that the germ of the local character of an irreducible admissible complex representation of a p-adic reductive group G lies in a finite-dimensional vector space spanned by Fourier transforms of nilpotent orbital integrals. This expansion encodes some properties of the representation.\n\nSuppose p is very large\, and let C be an algebraically closed field with characteristic different from p. For an irreducible admissible C-representation of G we define a \"local character expansion\" with rational number coefficients. Our definition generalizes the Harish-Chandra--Howe local character expansion and continues to capture part of the properties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Shining Light on a Statistical Dark Age: Postal Activity in Antebellum America
DESCRIPTION:American economic historians generally believe US modern economic growth began before 1840\, was broadly based (not driven by a single activity such as cotton cultivation or the railroad)\, and the acceleration was gradual (rather than a sudden takeoff). These claims are treated as conjectures rather than solid conclusions because the census did not publish good economic data before 1840. But the earlier period was not a \"statistical dark age\,\" as sometimes asserted. From 1817 on\, systematic statistics on postal activity are available at the local level at high frequencies. This paper assembles these data and asks what we can learn.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: A new approach to computing matrix integrals
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on a new strategy introduced in the last few years which has turned out to be a very useful tool to study the asymptotic behaviour of random matrices and compute matrix integrals. It relies on the theory of free stochastic calculus developed by Biane and Speicher in the late '90s. I will explain the heuristic behind those results\, as well as list a few of them. In particular I will explain how it was used to deduce a proof of a conjecture on the strong convergence of a family of random matrices which implies the Peterson–Thom conjecture thanks to the work of Ben Hayes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Divergence in Gene Expression Plasticity
DESCRIPTION:Defense Preview:\nOrganisms respond to shifts in their environment by changing the abundance of different mRNA transcripts in their cells\, a process called \"gene expression plasticity\". We understand that gene expression plasticity itself can evolve---the same environmental shift can cause different patterns of gene expression plasticity in different genetic backgrounds. We don't\, however\, know much about how gene expression plasticity tends to evolve. Is divergence in gene expression plasticity common between closely related species? Are certain genes more or less likely to experience evolutionary changes to their patterns of expression plasticity? In this dissertation defense\, I characterize gene expression plasticity divergence in two yeast species: the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and one of its closest related species\, Saccharomyces paradoxus. To describe the extent of gene expression plasticity divergence\, I cluster gene expression responses to six different environments. I find that each of the six environments identifies a unique set of at least 100 genes that have diverged in gene expression plasticity. Interestingly\, the genes most likely to experience this expression plasticity divergence are the genes with the fewest connections in the regulatory network. My work demonstrates that different environments can reveal hidden dimensions of molecular evolution\, and that network connectivity is associated with more robust expression plasticity over evolutionary time.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Significant Alumni Award Featured Lecture with Laila Poisson\, PhD '09
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Biostatistics is pleased to invite you to join us in honoring Laila Poisson\, PhD '09 at the inaugural Michigan Biostatistics Significant Alumni Award Lecture.A pre-lecture reception will be held beginning at 3:00 p.m. in 1627 SPH I for all attendees of the lecture\, which will begin at 3:30 p.m. in 1690 SPH I and will feature the presentation of the inaugural Significant Alumni Award.SIGN UP FOR MEETINGS WITH DR. POISSON HERE.TITLE: Being in CollaborationABSTRACT: There are many ways to be a biostatistician. Beyond whether you identify as a Bayesian or frequentist - beyond whether your expertise is in time-to-event analysis\, missing data\, or genetics - we each have a role in the broader community of science and research. In this presentation we will explore the role of the biostatistician as a team scientist and collaborative researcher. While examples will be drawn from experiences in an academic medical center\, the principles of communication\, leadership\, statistical expertise\, and domain knowledge apply across settings. Here\, at the beginning of a new academic year\, let’s take a moment to celebrate our unique abilities and the joy of seeing their impacts – big and small – in the world around us.ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Dr. Laila Poisson\, PhD\, exemplifies the collaborative nature of biostatistics in addressing issues of significance in public health and medicine using data and science. A 2009 graduate of the Biostatistics PhD program at Michigan\, Dr. Poisson has since become a nationally recognized leader in neuro-oncology research\, data integration\, and biostatistics education.She currently serves as Vice Chair of Biostatistics in the Department of Public Health Sciences and a Senior Scientist in the Hermelin Brain Tumor Center at Henry Ford Health in Detroit. In parallel\, she is a Research Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Michigan State University.Click here to read more about Dr. Poisson and learn more about the Significant Alumni Award.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe metabolic underpinnings of immune cells in various inflamed tissues\, such as the implant microenvironment or the diseased heart\, are poorly understood. For instance\, polylactide (PLA) is the most widely used biopolymer in medicine. Yet\, for decades\, PLA had been thought to activate immune cells by reducing surrounding pH because PLA biodegrades into monomers and oligomers of lactic acid. During my talk\, I will discuss an alternative paradigm underscoring immune cell metabolism (immunometabolism) as the pivotal determinant of the proinflammatory versus pro-regenerative tissue microenvironment with biodegradable and non-biodegradable biomaterial examples. Further related to tissue engineering\, I will present on reversing established cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis in heart failure (following myocardial infarction) via targeted and enzyme-responsive nanomaterials. Finally\, I will unveil my vision to revolutionize therapeutic strategies for the various phenotypes of heart failure by leveraging the metabolic underpinnings of immune and stromal cell populations\, thereby engineering next-generation clinical interventions that shape the future of medicine.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Disrupting the Information Order in Health Care: Institutions\, Policy Regimes\, and the Value of Data
DESCRIPTION:The 21st Century Cures Act API Rule seeks to increase the interoperability of patients’ electronic health information (EHI) – individually identifiable patient information related to medical treatment\, which can enable actors outside the institutional context and special data protections of health care to gain access to private data. We examine stakeholders’ comments during the Notice of Public Rulemaking on the Cures Act API Rule to show not only how institutional context shapes their views\, but also how the change to data flows may also disrupt established institutional meanings and mechanisms. The technical change of the API Rule leads insiders to defend\, while enabling outsiders to disrupt institutions in health care. We show how disruption to existing institutional logics\, relationships\, and the information order challenges professional control of information\, threatens provider-patient relationships\, and upsets the property rights and data protections of private data in ways that may threaten the existing institutional order of health care in the United States.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cylindrical networks and total nonnegativity (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:A matrix is called totally nonnegative if all the determinants of its square submatrices are nonnegative. One can show\, using the celebrated Lindström-Gessel-Viennot lemma\, that any invertible totally nonnegative matrix can be realized as the path matrix of a planar\, acyclic digraph with positive weights. A result by Brenti broadens this statement to include non-invertible\, non-square matrices. Lam and Pylyavskyy later introduced a notion of total positivity for matrices with real polynomial entries\, and showed that when they are invertible\, they are representable by cylindrical (rather than planar) digraphs. We expand their result to include non-square\, non-invertible matrices as well. The proof involves certain combinatorially-defined matrix functions called Temperley-Lieb immanants.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Temperature Extremes Cause Deforestation: The Borlaug Hypothesis Meets Global Climate Change (joint with Allan Hsiao\, Benjamin Olken\, and Jacob Moscona)
DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates the relationship between rising global extreme heat exposure and deforestation. Combining global data on deforestation and daily temperature realizations at the one-degree grid-cell level from 2001-2019\, we show that each additional degree day above 32 °C increases deforestation at the forest edge by 0.25 percentage points. These effects accumulate over time and are driven by tropical regions. Consistent with heat-induced declines in agricultural productivity as the driving mechanism\, we show direct evidence that extreme heat reduces a satellite-based crop productivity measure and find that the effect is larger for the most heat-sensitive crops and the crop-country pairs with the most inelastic demand. We also show that this deforestation is accompanied by cropland expansion using both global satellite data on land use patterns and three rounds of agricultural census data from Brazil. Back-of-the-envelope calculations attribute about 2-3% of global frontier deforestation\, and up to 15% in the Amazon and Congo hotspots\, to recent temperature extremes. Taken together\, our findings support the view that climate-induced productivity losses lead to intensification within regions rather than reallocation across regions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Demonstrating beam splitters for reaction pathways in the field of cold chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Our group studies chemical reactions of ultracold Rb atoms in a state-to-state resolved fashion\, where we prepare reactants in well defined quantum states and measure the quantum states of the molecular products. In particular\, we focus on three-body recombination where three atoms collide\, forming a diatomic molecule. The third atom carries away part of the binding energy. We are currently investigating methods to gain control over this chemical reaction. By making use of either a magnetically tunable Feshbach resonance or an avoided crossing of molecular levels we can effectively construct different kinds of beam splitters for the reaction pathways. The idea is to resonantly admix at specific points of the reaction coordinate additional quantum states to the original collision complex. This opens up an additional pathway that the reaction can take. By tuning the magnetic field in our experiments\, we can control these beam splitters and can redirect a sizeable fraction of the reaction flux between different product channels. These beam splitters are fully coherent and\, in the future\, it should be possible to use them also in interferometric schemes for controlling the reaction.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Effects of Heat on Teachers and Their Students
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines how extreme heat during the school year affects teacher effectiveness and student learning\, focusing on how teacher age amplifies these effects. This analysis is based on matched student-teacher administrative data with high-resolution temperature data and uses fixed-effects regressions to estimate the causal impact of heat on test scores and teacher absenteeism. Results show each extreme heat day reduces student test scores for teachers in the oldest 10%\, with nearly zero effect for younger teachers. Older teachers also experience 1.5 times more absences per heat day than younger teachers\, highlighting climate-related disparities in education and underscoring the need for targeted teacher support\, infrastructure investment\, and heat emergency protocols.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Matroids and the integral Hodge conjecture for abelian varieties
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss a proof that the integral Hodge conjecture is false for a very general abelian variety of dimension ≥ 4. Associated to any regular matroid is a degeneration of principally polarized abelian varieties. We introduce a new combinatorial invariant of regular matroids\, which obstructs the algebraicity of the minimal curve class\, on the very general fiber of the associated degeneration. In concert with a result of Voisin\, one deduces (via the intermediate Jacobian) the stable irrationality of a very general cubic threefold. This is joint work with Olivier de Gaay Fortman\, and Stefan Schreieder.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Healthcare Through AI and Machine Learning Innovations\nAbstract:\nHealthcare constitutes nearly one-fifth of the U.S. economy and approximately 10% of the global economy\, yet it faces profound challenges\, including inequitable access\, an aging population\, and rising per capita costs. These factors underscore the urgent need for innovative solutions. In this talk\, we will present how artificial intelligence\, driven by the urgent needs of healthcare\, is advancing both clinical and technological frontiers. I will share our work on medical image reconstruction\, MRI-based automated diagnosis\, and AI-powered precision medicine solutions. These applications are built on specialized deep learning algorithms\, such as video-based AI and longitudinal imaging reasoning\, with a focus on integrating biological complexities into their design. By bridging engineering principles with clinical applications\, we aim to transform medical diagnostics and treatment while broadening AI's impact across disciplines\, paving the way for more effective and accessible healthcare solutions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Behavioral ecology at the ant-plant-herbivore interface: Ant-induced effects on herbivore decisions
DESCRIPTION:Foliage represents a major zone of biological interaction in terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore\, the capacity to make appropriate decisions during host plant selection is a crucial behavioral trait of insect herbivores. Our research group investigated behavioral decisions by butterflies and bees that exploit ant-visited plants in the Cerrado savanna of Brazil. Observations and experiments were performed under contrasting ecological scenarios: antagonism and mutualism with ants. Field experiments show that detection of ants by these two groups of flying insects can either discourage or promote potential contact with ants on foliage. Interaction trials suggest that behavioral decisions are associated with the risk of ant-induced injury\, or with the benefit of protection via ant mutualists. Visual recognition of aggressive ants represents an unusual case of behavioral adaptation by flying insects associated with the use of plant resources (leaves\, flower rewards) on ant-occupied foliage\, and is particularly relevant in ant-rich Cerrado.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR.  Compactness for G-invariant minimal hypersurfaces
DESCRIPTION:Consider the space of embedded minimal hypersurfaces in a closed Riemannian n-manifold\, with the C^k topology. For n=3\, a celebrated work of Choi--Schoen gives natural geometric conditions that determine compact subsets of this space\; notable extensions to n<=7 were given by Sharp and Ambrozio-Carlotto-Sharp. I will discuss a compactness result for minimal hypersurfaces that are invariant under isometric group actions whose orbit space is smooth and 2-dimensional\, which does not require volume or index bounds\, nor restrictions on the ambient dimension n. This talk is based on joint work in progress with Dario Corona\, Fabio Giannoni\, and Paolo Piccione.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Friday Seminar Series - Ant-fruit/seed interactions in Neotropical ecosystems: Effects on the biology of seeds and seedlings
DESCRIPTION:Although most shrub and tree species in tropical environments are primarily vertebrate-dispersed\, interactions between ants and fallen fleshy diaspores are frequent. Our studies have focused on the services provided by ants to fallen fleshy diaspores of primarily vertebrate-dispersed trees in Brazilian Cerrado savanna and Atlantic rainforest. In this talk\, I report which ant species interact with fallen diaspores\, their contribution to seed removal\, and effects on seedling establishment and growth. Field studies by our group confirm the prevalence of interactions between ants and fallen fleshy diaspores\, revealing potential ant-derived benefits to seeds and seedlings in both biomes. Although seed dispersal distances by ants are shorter compared to birds\, our data show that fine-scale\, ant-induced seed movements may ultimately enhance plant regeneration at early developmental stages in Cerrado and Atlantic rainforest. Current human-induced fragmentation and defaunation of tropical environments suggests that short-distance dispersal by ants may become increasingly important in the dynamics of ecosystems\, since many vertebrate seed dispersers have been locally extirpated or are in decline.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Do You Conceptualize Your Time in Graduate School?: From the Practical to the Philosophical
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address time management strategies\, and effective habits and motivation for early graduate school success.\n\nTime management and productivity may not seem like an exciting topic\, but harnessing concrete tactics and strategies for how to maintain autonomy and agency over your own schedule is a crucial skill in graduate school. You will find yourself juggling multiple\, and often competing\, priorities– and many of them have to do with writing… lots\, and lots of writing! This 50-minute Rackham/Sweetland workshop will address time management strategies across scales (from pomodoros to physical planners to semester and year-long planning)\, as well as considerations regarding habits and motivation. The earlier you find what works for you\, the more you can tailor your schedule to fit your life instead of the other way around!\n\nRegister at https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/96936
