SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pollination Event Biotechnology: Nature-Inspired Innovation
DESCRIPTION:When researchers studied Gila monster venom\, they weren’t envisioning GLP-1 drugs or a multi-billion dollar sector improving the lives of hundreds of millions globally. Nature-inspired innovations have created transformative societal and economic impact\, and today\, advances in biotechnology hold potential for sectors ranging from energy and pharmaceuticals to materials science\, chemicals\, and manufacturing. Building on the roots of biotechnology to advance synthetic biology\, scientists modified yeast with genes from the wormwood plant to mass produce the lifesaving malaria drug artemisinin\, transforming a scarce natural remedy into an accessible global health solution. Advancements like the“reprogramming” of organisms to tackle challenges like breaking down waste streams\, and the use of microorganisms and enzymes to create bio-based products\, demonstrate the potential for moving these biotechnological breakthroughs from basic science to application.\n\nDesigned to spark novel ideas and scientific collaborations\, Bold Challenges’ Pollination events convene faculty from across campuses to share their work and uncover potential new interdisciplinary research directions\, laying the groundwork for competitive research projects. Join the Bold Challenges team in imagining a future built on self-healing concrete\, synthetic spider silk proteins stronger than Kevlar\, adaptive camouflage\, shape-memory medical devices and novel fuel sources that could help extend the life of our infrastructure\, strengthen human and planetary health\, improve energy efficiency and bolster national security.\n\nThe event will be held in the Vandenberg Room in the Michigan League on Friday\, April 17\, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. This is an in-person event with no hybrid option available. Light breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided. Please register by April 3. Participants will be eligible to apply for $10\,000 in seed funding from Bold Challenges.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Going for Broker? Intermediation in Health Insurance Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies how insurance brokers affect product choices\, premiums\, and welfare in the employer-sponsored insurance market. We compile a novel database of contracting relationships among employers\, brokers\, and insurers in New York State. Exploiting variations in commission schedules\, we document two market distortions: First\, brokers exhibit traditional agency frictions\, steering employers towards more financially lucrative products. Second\, commission levels affect ex-ante insurer-broker networks and\, in turn\, insurers' competitive pressure\, leading to anti-competitive distortions. We develop and estimate a structural model of employer insurance demand\, insurer pricing\, and formation of broker-insurer contracting networks. We use the model to study a commission-cap counterfactual. A one-percentage-point cap reduces broker-induced steering and raises employer surplus by 3\%\, but the resulting reduction in insurer competition lowers surplus by over 6\%\, yielding a net decline of about 3\%. We also explore the impacts of fiduciary duties and network regulations for insurance brokers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yuting Wei\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics & Data Science\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:The score-based diffusion models have become a cornerstone of modern generative AI. While recent works aim to develop sharp convergence guarantees\, the iteration complexity of existing analyses typically scales with the ambient data dimension $d$ of the target distribution\, leading to overly conservative theory that fails to explain its practical efficiency. This motivates us to understand how diffusion models can achieve sampling speed-ups through automatic exploitation of intrinsic low dimensionality of data for both continuous and discrete distributions.  \n\nThis talk explores two key scenarios: (1) For a broad class of continous distributions with intrinsic dimension $k$\, we show that the iteration complexity of the denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) scales nearly linearly with $k$\, which is optimal under the KL divergence metric\; (2) For masking discrete diffusions\, under a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) formulation\, we introduce a modified $\tau$-leaping sampler whose convergence rate is governed by an intrinsic information-theoretic quantity\, termed the \emph{effective total correlation}\, which is upper bounded by $d \log S$ (with $S$ the vocabulary size) but can be sublinear or even constant for structured discrete distributions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Weak Gravitational Lensing Cosmology with the Roman Space Telescope High Latitude Imaging Survey
DESCRIPTION:NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is currently scheduled for launch in September 2026. Its High Latitude Imaging Survey (HLIS) will provide powerful tests of cosmological models through sensitive measurements of cosmic shear\, galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL)\, and galaxy clustering. As a member of the Roman HLIS Cosmology Project Infrastructure Team (PIT)\, my work spans both Shear & Clustering Measurement (SCM) and Cosmological Parameter Inference Pipeline (CPIP). In this talk\, I will mainly talk about our Fisher forecasts of cosmological parameter constraints from combinations of the three probes mentioned above\, carried out as part of the HLIS PIT's Data Challenge 1 (DC1). We find good agreement between Fisher analysis and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis of the DC1 baseline data vector\, and we exploit the flexibility of Fisher analysis to investigate varied priors on cosmological parameters and on nuisance parameters describing unknown biases in photometric redshifts or shear measurements. I will also talk about my work on optimal reconstruction of Roman images (which is actually the most essential part of my current research). As an incoming postdoc at UMich\, I look forward to learning more about DESI (among other things) in the next few years.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Two extremes of liquid-liquid phase separation in membranes: minimal\, artificial membranes with only two lipids vs. living\, biological membranes with hundreds of components
DESCRIPTION:Amidst longstanding excitement about liquid–liquid phase separation in biological contexts\, fundamental questions have persisted about exactly which molecules are required for this transition in lipid membranes. The Keller Group applies those questions to both artificial and biological membranes. In simple membranes\, enormous progress has been made in understanding large-scale\, liquid-liquid phase separation in membranes with as few as three components: a sterol\, lipid with ordered chains\, and a lipid with disordered chains. How low can we go? Are three components really necessary? Our group set out to discover a truly minimal system with only two components. Inspired by reports that sterols interact closely with lipids with ordered chains\, we found that phase separation can robustly occur in bilayers in which a sterol and lipid are replaced by a single\, joined sterol–lipid. Next\, we turned our attention to natural membranes. Micron-scale liquid-liquid phase separation occurs in vacuole membranes of budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) at their growth temperature when the yeast switch from the log stage of growth to the stationary stage. The membrane phases are functionally important – they play a role in enabling the yeast to survive periods of stress. We found that yeast actively regulate this phase transition to hold the membrane transition of their membrane ~15C above the yeast growth temperature. They must do so by changing their lipidome. When yeast enter the stationary stage (and their membranes phase separate)\, the fraction of one lipid type (PC-lipids) doubles\, and lipids of that type have higher melting temperatures\, which is consistent with phase separation occurring in membranes containing a sterol\, lipids with ordered chains\, and lipids with disordered chains.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Two Steps Forward\, One Step Back: How Progress Steadiness Affects Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Rarely is the path to goal accomplishment perfectly smooth. Making progress on everyday goals is often unsteady\, in that each unit of effort or time spent generates unequal results. In this research\, we examine how progress steadiness affects motivation. Although unsteady goal progress is common in both work and personal pursuits\, we suggest that goal pursuers find it discouraging. We hypothesize that even when goal progress is equal in amount and speed\, unsteady (vs. steady) progress decreases people’s sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue\, and increases quitting. Across a variety of goal domains\, findings from vignette experiments\, recall studies\, and real-time achievement tasks support these hypotheses. We also explore the mediating psychological variables and identify how manipulations targeting expectations about progress steadiness and encouraging a more abstract view of progress can reduce the negative effects of unsteady progress.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Journey Lecture with Tim Johnson\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The Biostatistics Department is happy to present Journey Lectures\, which are light-hearted\, non-technical talks by distinguished Biostatistics faculty describing their career paths.\nJoin us on Friday\, April 17 to learn about the journey taken to Michigan Biostatistics by Tim Johnson\, PhD. \nDiscover how Tim's journey in biostatistics began in California\, where he studied mathematics at UC Riverside\, worked as a software engineer\, and later earned his PhD in Biostatistics at UCLA. Learn how those early years — spanning mathematics\, computing\, and collaborative research in radiological sciences and biomathematics — helped shape a career devoted to Bayesian methods\, statistical image analysis\, spatial modeling\, and biomedical data science. Hear how that path eventually brought him to Michigan Biostatistics\, where his work has continued to bridge statistical innovation\, interdisciplinary research\, and a deep commitment to mentoring and academic leadership.\nThe lecture will begin at 2:00 pm in 1690 SPH I.\nRefreshments will be served from 1:30 pm - 2:00 pm in the adjoining 1680 SPH I prior to the start of the presentation.\nPlease arrive early enough to help yourself to refreshments and to find your seat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A positive combinatorial formula for the double Edelman–Greene coefficients (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Lam\, Lee\, and Shimozono introduced the double Stanley symmetric functions in their study of the equivariant geometry of the affine Grassmannian. They proved that the associated double Edelman– Greene coefficients\, the double Schur expansion of these functions\, are positive\, a result later refined by Anderson. They further asked for a combinatorial proof of this positivity. We provide the first such proof\, together with a combinatorial formula that manifests the finer positivity established by Anderson. Our formula is built from two combinatorial models: bumpless pipedreams and increasing chains in the Bruhat order. The proof relies on three key ingredients: a correspondence between these two models\, a natural subdivision of bumpless pipedreams\, and a symmetry property of increasing chains. This talk is based on joint work with Jack Chou.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Incentive Compatibility and Belief Restrictions (with A. Penta)
DESCRIPTION:We study a framework for robust mechanism design with multiple agents that accommodates various degrees of robustness with respect to agents' beliefs\, and encompasses both the belief-free and Bayesian robustness criteria. For general \emph{belief restrictions}\, we characterize the set of incentive compatible direct transfer mechanisms in general environments with interdependent values. Based on a \emph{first-order approach}\, we obtain a design principle to attain incentive compatibility via `belief-based' terms. In environments that satisfy a property of \emph{generalized independence}\, our results imply a \emph{robust} version of \emph{revenue equivalence}. Extending the notion of correlated information\, we introduce a notion of \emph{comovement} between types and beliefs\, defined based on a moment condition. Under comovement\, we characterize the full set of `belief-based' terms. Based on this\, we show that from Bayesian settings the following result extends to this fairly mild restriction on beliefs: any allocation rule can be implemented\, even in environments without single-crossing or monotonicity. However\, full rent extraction need not follow. Information rents typically remain\, and they decrease monotonically as the robustness requirement is weakened.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY25 - 26
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CHPS Seminar | Reconstructing the properties of the protosolar disk using cosmochemistry
DESCRIPTION:Observations of protoplanetary disks with ALMA have revealed a large diversity of properties\, but also some common tendencies in terms of dust/gas density and radial extension ratios\, as well as the appearance of features like rings and gaps or cavities. It is too late to observe the proto-solar disk\, but many of its properties can be inferred from the current distribution of planetesimals and using cosmochemical constraints on the chronology of planetesimal accretion and the isotopic heterogeneity of the disk.  I will review the available data\, which can be used to reconstruct the proto-solar disk. The view that emerges is that of a quite standard disk of about 90 au in gas radius and 45 au in dust radius\, forming planetesimals at two distinct epochs (one of which is very early\, while the disk was presumably still in Class-0 or Class-1 stage) and evolving towards a transition disk at the appearance of Jupiter and Saturn. Similarities and differences with the PDS70 disk will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense -  Drier leaves\, more mites: atmospheric moisture shapes investment in a plant–mite mutualism trait in Vitis riparia at the local but not regional scale
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe stress gradient hypothesis predicts that organisms will invest more in mutualistic interactions under increasing abiotic stress. Here\, we examine whether stress associated with reduced atmospheric moisture impacts plant investment in mite domatia\, small structures on leaves that mediate a mutualism between plants and defensive mites using riverbank grape (Vitis riparia). We tested prediction of the stress gradient hypothesis at two scales: a local scale using a humidity gradient created by distance from an island lake\, and a region scale spanning a precipitation gradient across Michigan’s lower peninsula. At each scale\, we measured domatia size\, density\, and abundance\, as well as mite abundance and leaf fungal hyphal load. At the local scale\, domatia trichome density was significantly higher in less humid environments\, consistent with the stress gradient hypothesis\, and mite abundance increased with both humidity and domatia density. At the regional scale\, mite abundance increased significantly with precipitation\, but no relationship was detected between precipitation and any measure of domatia investment or fungal load. Together\, these results suggest that the stress gradient hypothesis partially applies to the plant–mite mutualism in this system\, but that its expression depends on scale and the range of moisture conditions experienced.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Single Cell Spatial Analysis Monthly Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Simultaneous CRISPR screening and spatial transcriptomics reveals intracellular and intercellular transcriptional circuits.\n\nFEATURING: \nSamouil L. Farhi\, Ph.D.  Director of the Spatial Technology Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard\n\nFor more details Visit: https://singlecellspatialanalysis.umich.edu/monthlyseminarseries/\nZoom Info: \nMeeting ID: 998 7259 4985\nPasscode: 786053\n\nABSTRACT: \nPerturb-FISH combines spatial transcriptomics with optical detection of in situ amplified guide RNAs. Perturb-FISH recovers intracellular effects that are consistent with Perturb-seq results in cultured monocytes\, and finds density-dependent regulation of the innate immune response. Pairing Perturb-FISH with a functional readout in a screen of autism spectrum disorder risk genes\, shows common calcium activity phenotypes in induced pluripotent stem cell derived astrocytes and their associated molecular pathways. Finally\, Perturb-FISH can identify neighborhood dependent perturbation effects in a complex tissue by showing immune-tumor interactions in a xenograft model engrafted with human PBMCs. Perturb-FISH is thus a general method for studying the genetic and molecular associations of spatial and functional biology at single-cell resolution.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Novel Construction of $\mathfrak{sl}_4$ Webs
DESCRIPTION: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.\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:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT:  Ind-Banach approach to Grothendieck duality in analytic geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Grothendieck duality for schemes can be viewed as a generalization of Serre duality to quasi-coherent sheaves. Since Serre duality also exists in analytic geometry\, it is natural to ask if there is also an analytic version of Grothendieck duality. I will explain how to formulate and prove Grothendieck duality in rigid-analytic geometry\, including an identification of the dualizing complex with volume forms. The main innovation of our approach lies in the underlying functional analysis\, which uses the Ind-category of Banach spaces rather than condensed mathematics. Nevertheless\, our overall strategy is strongly inspired by that of Clausen—Scholze in the complex setting.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Large-Degree Asymptotics of Rational Painleve-V Functions
DESCRIPTION:The Painleve-V equation has two families of rational solutions\, one built from generalized Umemura polynomials and one built from generalized Laguerre polynomials.  These solutions have drawn interest because they arise in a variety applications and because their zeros and poles exhibit remarkable geometric structures.  We formulate Riemann-Hilbert problems for both families and obtain large-degree asymptotic results using nonlinear steepest-descent analysis.  Results for the generalized Umemura solutions are joint with Matthew Satter of the University of Michigan and the results for the generalized Laguerre solutions are joint with Trevor Johnson of the University of Cincinnati.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:WHY DOESN’T THE UNITED STATES HAVE NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE? THE POLITICAL ROLE OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
DESCRIPTION:This study examines how the American Medical Association (AMA) helped shape the development of the U.S. health insurance system in the critical period after World War II. Working with the political public relations firm Campaigns\, Inc.\, the AMA launched a nationwide campaign to weaken support for National Health Insurance by framing it as “socialized medicine\,” while simultaneously enrolling people in private health insurance plans to shift demand away from a public alternative. Drawing on newly assembled archival data\, we find that greater exposure to the campaign explains about 20% of the rise in private health insurance enrollment and a comparable decline in public support for a national program. The campaign also appears to have influenced policymaking through coordinated messaging\, resolutions passed by civic organizations\, congressional rhetoric\, and political donations. These findings suggest that the rise of private health insurance in the United States was not solely due to macroeconomic forces or collective bargaining\; rather it was also enabled by a strategic\, interest group-financed effort to shape citizen views and influence policy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Why Are Some Recoveries Weak and Others Strong?
DESCRIPTION:Why were the recoveries from the 1990-1\, 2001\, and 2007-9 recessions weak relative to other postwar recessions? Leveraging heterogeneous exposure to the national business cycle across U.S. States\, we estimate the trajectory of more exposed U.S. States relative to less exposed U.S. States. For the 1990-1\, 2001\, and 2007-9 recessions we estimate that more exposed States experienced a stronger boom-bust cycle and for the other postwar recessions we estimate a deeper V-shaped recession in more exposed States. Our estimates support theories that these recessions are caused by different shocks. In a quantitative model matched to our cross-sectional estimates\, boom-bust cycles persistently depress the natural rate of interest R∗ in the recovery\, whereas R∗ is elevated following V-shaped recessions

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Digital Ecosystems and Data Regulation
DESCRIPTION:This paper develops a framework in which a multiproduct ecosystem competes with multiple single-product firms in both price and innovation. The ecosystem can use data from one product to improve the quality of its other products. We use the framework to study three regulatory policies aimed at leveling the playing field. Restricting the ecosystem’s cross-product data usage\, or forcing it to share data with single-product firms\, benefits those firms and induces them to innovate more. However\, these policies also dampen the ecosystem’s incentive to collect data and innovate\, potentially raising prices. Consumers are better off only when single-product firms are sufficiently good at innovating. Facilitating data exchange between single-product firms via a data cooperative can backfire and harm them\, because it induces the ecosystem to price more aggressively. For both the data-sharing and data-cooperative policies\, there exist data-compensation schemes such that consumers are better off compared to no regulation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Master's Thesis Defense Seminar> Investigating the Role of Cellular Stress on TDP-43 Loss of Function
DESCRIPTION:TDP-43 proteinopathy is a defining hallmark of ALS and FTD. 95% of reported ALS cases result from spontaneous mutations with over 97% being attributed to TDP-43 misfunction. TDP-43 is a nuclear RNA binding protein responsible for RNA metabolism with its most notable role being splicing of RNA. TDP-43 pathology is defined by nuclear clearance known as a loss-of-function and cytoplasmic aggregation\, a gain-of-function. Loss of function results in cryptic splicing leading to the inclusion of cryptic exons that induce frameshifts causing RNA degradation or cryptic peptides. This disruption of cellular homeostasis leads to neuronal death in both cortical and motor neurons\, a defining characteristic of ALS. Studies of the cause of ALS have implicated the exposure to environmental toxins as a risk factor for the progression of ALS. Here we use a fluorescent reporter of TDP-43 cryptic splicing in I3neurons in an assay of 22 environmental toxins to characterize the effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals on TDP-43 protein function. We show that increased concentrations of toxins reduce survivability of neurons and increase cryptic splicing events. We conclude that exposure to environmental toxins may contribute to ALS progression by disrupting TDP-43 protein function.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:OS Honors Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Come hear about the honors research of OS seniors Lindsey Smith and Eden Wilcomes!Lost in Translation: The Role of Spanish-Language Political Advertising and Communications Agencies - Eden Wilcomes\nAs the Hispanic population of the United States continues to rise\, so too does the Hispanic electorate’s influence in national elections. Similarly\, as the prominence of the Latino vote becomes more noticeable\, so does the attention of politicians. In order to appeal to Latino voters\, many politicians and campaigns seek the help of Spanish-language political communications agencies\, yet there exists little research on political communications and advertising agencies generally\, and even less on specialized agencies. By conducting interviews with employees of Spanish-language agencies\, politicians and their staff\, and Spanish-language communications experts\, I was able to better understand the importance and purpose of Spanish-language political advertising.Present-Day Panopticon: Reactions to Electronic Surveillance Among Young Professionals Entering the Workforce - Lindsey Smith\nWith the rise of technology\, employers have increasing access to data on their employees' actions and productivity. Interview based research was conducted with University of Michigan juniors and seniors who recently interned in large business organizations. My findings highlight how interns react to surveillance (or the possibility of it) and this age group's perspective on surveillance as a whole.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: Parameter Estimation\, Calibration\, Uncertainty and Sensitivity in Multiscale Models
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical and computational models of biological systems are increasingly complex\, typically comprised of hybrid multi-scale methods such as ordinary differential equations\, partial differential equations\, agent-based and rule-based models\, etc. These mechanistic\, multiscale models concurrently simulate detail at resolutions of whole host\, multi-organ\, organ\, tissue\, cellular\, molecular\, and genomic dynamics. Lacking analytical and numerical methods\, solving complex biological models requires iterative parameter sampling-based approaches to establish appropriate ranges\, of model parameters that capture corresponding experimental datasets. However\, these models typically comprise large numbers of parameters and therefore large degrees of freedom. Thus\, fitting these models to multiple experimental datasets over time and space presents significant challenges. We undertake the task of advancing calibration practices across models and dataset types for model calibration. Evaluating the process of calibrating models includes weighing strengths and applicability of each approach as well as standardizing calibration methods. We compare the performance of our model agnostic Calibration Protocol (CaliPro) with approximate Bayesian computing (ABC) to highlight strengths\, weaknesses\, synergies\, and differences among these methods. Due to the typically nonlinear and stochastic nature of multiscale models as well as unknown parameter values\, various types of uncertainty are present\; thus\, effective assessment and quantification of such uncertainty through sensitivity analysis is important. We present ideas for global sensitivity analysis in the context of multiscale and multi-compartment models and highlight its value in model development and analysis. We present an overview of sensitivity analysis methods\, approaches for extending such methods to a multiscale setting\, and examples of how sensitivity analysis can inform model reduction. Through schematics and references to past work\, we aim to emphasize the advantages and usefulness of such techniques.\n\nThis seminar is hybrid: meeting in Weiser 296 and via Zoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99066992017\nMeeting ID: 990 6699 2017\nPasscode: mathbio!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Marjorie Lee Browne Scholars Mini-Symposium
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend a mini-symposium featuring the 14th cohort of MLB scholars completing the program this month. Each MLB scholar will give a 25-minute presentation of their research and have 5 minutes to answer questions from the audience. The MLB mini-symposium will take place on Wednesday\, April 22 from 1:00-2:30pm in 1068EH. Food will be provided during the talks.\n\nPlease RSVP by Sunday\, April 19 so that we know how many people to expect and can order food accordingly. https://forms.gle/nY719sLt3CdtovG38\n---\nIan Augsburger: Efficient Learning of Dirichlet Simplex Models with Asymmetric Concentration Parameters\n\nAbstract: Learning latent topic or mixture models governed by Dirichlet distributions is a central problem in unsupervised learning\, with applications ranging from topic modeling to population genetics and biological mixture analysis. Existing approaches—most notably MCMC- and variational-based methods—are often computationally expensive\, sensitive to initialization\, and particularly brittle in regimes where the Dirichlet concentration parameters are asymmetric or highly skewed.\n \nIn this work\, we study the problem of efficiently learning Dirichlet Simplex Models\, with special emphasis on the practically important but underexplored setting of asymmetric concentration parameters and regimes where individual components dominate the mixture. We show that the second-order moment structure of the observed data encodes the simplex geometry up to an orthogonal transformation on a low-dimensional subspace. Exploiting this structure\, we reduce parameter recovery to the problem of learning an orthogonal map.\n \nBy introducing a geometry-aware metric aligned with the intrinsic covariance of the data\, we obtain a simplified optimization scheme over the orthogonal group that is both stable and fast. Our approach leverages the polytope geometry of the simplex to enable parallelization over symmetry classes\, significantly accelerating convergence. Empirically\, the resulting algorithm performs remarkably well for asymmetric Dirichlet models\, where standard MCMC-based methods often struggle. We view this framework as a step toward efficient\, geometry-driven learning algorithms for broader classes of latent variable models.\n---\nAmmar Eltigani: Random Matrix Theory for High-Dimensional Machine Learning\n \nAbstract: The modern high-dimensional regime—where the number of samples and their dimensions grow proportionally—is ubiquitous in machine learning applications such as finance\, healthcare\, wireless communications\, neuroscience\, and computer vision. Despite the remarkable success of large-scale models in this setting\, the underlying mathematical reasons remain only partially understood. Why\, for instance\, do overparameterized neural networks generalize well\, and why do their risk curves exhibit double descent?\n \nThis expository talk begins by examining how low-dimensional intuitions fail in high dimensions\, focusing on covariance estimation. We then introduce the Marčenko–Pastur law\, which describes the limiting spectral distribution of sample covariance matrices for white noise. Finally\, we discuss its generalization to arbitrary covariances and apply it to ridgeless linear regression\, deriving a theoretical risk curve that displays the double-descent phenomenon.\n---\nNicholas Simafranca: Learning Low-Dimensional Representations with Heteroscedastic Data Sources\n\nAbstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) is a fundamental method for dimensionality reduction\, but it treats all samples uniformly and can perform poorly when data come from sources with unequal noise levels. In this talk\, I begin with the classical and probabilistic viewpoints of PCA\, introducing probabilistic PCA (PPCA) as a latent-variable model for low-dimensional structure. I then discuss HePPCAT\, a heteroscedastic extension of PPCA that allows different groups of samples to have different noise variances. Unlike classical PCA\, the resulting maximum-likelihood problem is nonconvex and is not solved by a single eigendecomposition. I will describe how this problem can be approached through alternating majorization-minimization and explain how a Riemannian block MM framework gives a route to proving convergence of a proximalized HePPCAT algorithm to a stationary point.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - Selection on Cognition in the Wild
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary: Cognition refers to the processes by which animals acquire\, store\, and use information from the environment. These processes drive many adaptive behaviors\, but we know little about how cognitive traits evolve in wild populations. I will use Polistes wasps as a model to investigate the links between cognition\, behavior\, and fitness over multiple generations in the field. My dissertation will provide important information about the costs and benefits of individual variation in cognition.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Development as Skills and Altruism
DESCRIPTION:This paper emphasizes the central role of skill and altruism in development\, defined as an increase in social welfare. In the basic model\, skills expand the set of feasible payoffs\, while altruism guides the decision maker’s choice. Greater skills need not increase social welfare\, because such expansions combine a positive frontier effect with an ambiguous substitution effect\, potentially toward actions that are privately attractive but socially harmful. This ambiguous effect of skills on development is referred to as the “lottery of the technology” and disappears when altruism is high enough to ensure that new opportunities created by skills are used only when they raise social welfare. Extensions of the model show that 1) endogenous technological change makes altruism even more influential in the long run 2) the effect of stronger institutions is subject to a “lottery of alignment of interests” between policymakers’ private gains and social welfare\, unless policymakers’ altruism is high enough to ensure the good use of institutional power\, making institutions a lever of altruism rather than a substitute and 3) allowing altruism to be group-specific shows that only universal altruism guarantees the effective use of skill improvements. This framework speaks to many contemporary and historical events and leads to the conclusion that ensuring long-term development requires both the selection of altruistic leaders and a population shift in the distribution of altruism.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Bryan McCloskey\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nConventional Li-ion battery electrolytes have been designed to optimize numerous desirable properties\, including interfacial and thermal stability\, conductivity\, and low flammability. However\, all conventional liquid Li + -bearing electrolytes still possess low Li + transference (t + ) numbers\, where current passed through them is primarily carried by the counteranion\, resulting in large concentration gradients that limit battery performance\, particularly at high discharge and charging rates.\n\nThe development of high t + electrolytes—those in which most (or all) current is carried by the Li + ion—could enable safer battery cycling\, faster charging rates\, and thicker\, more energy-dense cathode designs in Li-ion batteries. This presentation will outline our attempts to develop high t + electrolytes using two strategies. In the first\, Li-neutralized polyanions are used as a salt in nonaqueous liquid electrolytes (so-called nonaqueous polyelectrolyte solutions). In this configuration\, Li ions\, when appropriately solvated\, have hydrodynamic radii much smaller than the polymer chain’s size\, ostensibly allowing them to diffuse or migrate faster than their appended counteranions\, and hence enable high t + electrolytes. Ultimately\, I show this picture to be oversimplified\, and that anion-anion and cation-anion correlations severely limit the t + of high conductivity polyelectrolyte solutions. In the second\, we suspend Li-ion conducting inorganic particles\, which have both high conductivity and unity Li + transference numbers\, in organic electrolytes.\n\nThe development of these organic-inorganic composite electrolytes could enable solid state batteries\, an important emerging energy storage technology that has been hindered by the poor processability of thin-film pure inorganic ion conductors. Although the composite electrolyte field is highly active due to the processability advantages composite electrolytes possess\, researchers are still puzzled about why\, in most cases\, no significant improvement in the electrolyte conductivity is observed after incorporating inorganic particles\, whose conductivity is orders of magnitude larger than that of polymer electrolytes at room temperature.\n\nI will present our efforts to quantify phase contributions to ion transport in model inorganic-organic systems\, ultimately showing that three critical factors govern the conductivity of composite electrolytes: Li + -desolvation dynamics\, Li + -transference number in the organic phase\, and the ceramic particle size. Using this knowledge\, we show that certain composite configurations have enhanced conductivity and substantially higher transference numbers than the pure model organic electrolyte alone.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\nBryan McCloskey is the Department Chair and Warren &amp\; Katharine Schlinger Distinguished Professor in Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley. He also holds a joint appointment as a Faculty Chemical Engineer in the Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His laboratory explores numerous applications of electrochemistry to energy sustainability\, conversion\, and storage. Current projects focus on elucidating the fundamental electrochemistry of metal-air batteries and understanding a variety of challenges facing Li-ion and Na-ion batteries\, including high voltage cathode-electrolyte interfacial stability and organic-inorganic composites for solid-state batteries. He has co-authored more than 175 articles and has won numerous awards for his research\, including The Electrochemical Society Charles Tobias Award\, The International Society of Electrochemistry Tajima Prize\, and the VW/BASF Science Award- Electrochemistry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thesis Defense: Survey of the Natural History of Hesperis matronalis and the abiotic and biotic drivers of its Viruses
DESCRIPTION:Summary: In a phenotypic and bioinformatic survey of the natural history of Hesperis matronalis across southern Michigan I found that both land cover type and longitude are positively correlated with infection of TuMV at the phenotypic level. However\, this finding is likely highly correlated with the land cover types further to the north being categorized as Natural\, and land cover types at the southern range of the sampling area Agricultural. Additionally\, bioinformatic analysis found that there are differences in the abundance of certain taxa across the diseased and normal phenotypes. The results of an all-by-all BLAST of the longest assemblies of TuMV were visualized and suggestive of strain variation across populations of H. matronalis. These findings are important to our understanding of how biotic and abiotic interactions influence the ecology and evolution of plant viruses in wild populations. To gain a deeper ecological understanding of the frequency of TuMV in wild populations\, future studies should focus on the ecology of the aphid vectors.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rummage RIW
DESCRIPTION:A Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop focused on the nexus of exhibition\, collection\, curation\, display\, and representation within museums and museum-adjacent spaces. The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems. Founded in Fall 2023\, this RIW takes the attics\, closets\, and cabinets of exhibition history as a starting point to engage questions relating to those spaces aligned with — or challenging — the International Council of Museums’ broad definition of a museum as an institution “in the service of society that researches\, collects\, conserves\, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage”.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mentorship Under the Microscope: The Art of Being a Mentor & Mentee
DESCRIPTION:Mentorship is often framed as a one-way transfer of knowledge\, but in reality\, it is a dynamic\, reciprocal process. Additionally\, postdocs and graduate students often serve in a dual capacity with roles as a mentor and mentee. This mentorship retreat examines mentorship as a practice that requires reflection and skill-building from both sides of the relationship. We will talk strategies and best practices about what it means to balance being both a mentor and a mentee in a research environment.\nA complimentary breakfast and lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Master's Thesis Defense Seminar> An in vivo model for mammary-specific claudin 7 knockout
DESCRIPTION:The mammary is a highly plastic organ that undergoes epithelial remodeling several times over the course of a mammal’s lifetime. Physiological development of the mammary is well established in literature\, but the role tight junctions play in shaping the mammary gland is less understood. Development of epithelial tissues depends\, in part\, on the adherence of cells to maintain tissue integrity while remodeling. Claudin 7\, a tight junction protein expressed in the developing epithelia\, exhibits a strong presence in mammary epithelia. In this thesis we explore potential roles of claudin 7 in epithelial remodeling. We used a Cre/flox system to design an in vivo mammary-specific Cldn7 knockout. We validated our mouse line genotype using PCR genotyping. We used carmine alum staining\, hematoxylin and eosin staining\, and immunofluorescent staining to visualize wild type and Cldn7 Cre/flox mammary glands. This thesis furthers the knowledge of mammary gland morphogenesis by providing a foundation for a new approach to mammary remodeling in vivo.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Commoditization of Labor (joint with Emi Nakamura and Jón Steinsson)
DESCRIPTION:Technical change often simplifies jobs. This increases productivity\, but it also makes work- ers more substitutable—or more “commoditized”. Commoditization of labor drives down worker bargaining power: anyone can do the job\, implying workers are disposable\, which improves the outside option of firms and can lower worker wages. We develop a model that captures both the productivity enhancing and wage depressing effects of commoditizing tech- nical change. Commoditizing technical change involves firms standardizing tasks which im- plies that output is less sensitive to worker quality. Firms benefit because they can more easily fill vacancies for their durable jobs. We show that our model can help explain the divergence between productivity and wages in the service sector\, increasing markdowns despite falling local concentration\, and the decline of the large-firm wage premium.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning\, Salience\, and Voting: Evidence from Criminal Politicians in India (with Siddharth George and Sarika Gupta)
DESCRIPTION:We study how voters process information through two experiments around Indian elections. In a large-scale experiment\, we show that providing voters information about candidates’ criminal charges increases votes for clean candidates and reduces votes for criminal politicians\, with larger penalties for candidates facing more and serious charges. A follow-up experiment replicates these results and identifies two mechanisms. First\, information facilitates learning: voters form more accurate beliefs and evaluate criminal candidates less favorably. Second\, using direct measures of voter attention\, we show that information makes criminality more salient\, and increases its weight in voting decisions. Salience effects are larger when information is surprising or highlights contrast\, but do not vary with decision relevance\, consistent with bottom-up attention. Causal forest estimates provide further evidence that learning and salience are both important drivers of changes in voting behavior. We develop a simple model that integrates salience theory into a standard probabilistic voting framework to explain our results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Imaging Chemical Reactions and Processes
DESCRIPTION:Imaging chemical reactions under synthetically relevant conditions can reveal mechanistic information that is inaccessible with traditional analytical techniques. Our laboratory develops fluorescence microscopy methods—including fluorescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)—to understand chemical reactivity and physical processes in complex reaction media with spatial and temporal resolution. We examine aqueous–organic reactions\, oxidative addition to metal powders\, and catalytic polymerization. These systems present particular challenges to traditional characterization methods: aqueous–organic emulsions are heterogeneous and optically opaque\, organometallic surface intermediates in oxidative–addition reactions do not substantially build up\, and many growing polymers are insoluble or spatially heterogenous. In these systems\, FLIM reveals object sizes\, catalyst localization and environments\, the role of reagents\, and the physiochemical reasons underpinning catalytic turnover rates. For example\, droplet-to-droplet differences in emulsions under cross-coupling conditions suggest that individual droplets function as distinct reaction vessels.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Political Ecology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Political Ecology Workshop (PEW) is an interdisciplinary space for scholars at all career stages with interests in political ecology and related critical approaches to the study of environment-society interactions. PEW brings together a range of divisions across campus\, including Anthropology\, History\, Environment and Sustainability\, Political Science\, Sociology\, and all Area Studies departments and programs. We have founded a collaborative\, multidisciplinary community with a shared investment questioning how environments and societies are co-produced and the ways in which power and inequality impact the dynamics and understandings of this co-production. We have run PEW as an RIW for two years and all the workshops have been possible from our committed participants from diverse fields. This year\, we intend to develop our membership further by inviting scholars from broader fields and promoting PEW on listservs across campus.\nPEW supports graduate student development\, including for earlier-stage students seeking interdisciplinary conversations as they develop environment-society research projects and later-stage students seeking to incorporate political ecology into their work. PEW emphasizes dedicated time for graduate students to receive feedback on their work and facilitates faculty-student mentorship. It allows students to access a range of critical environmental studies perspectives they might not have encountered through coursework or departmental activities\, and to grow from the feedback and insight of faculty and peers who share this commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and professional development.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Use of AI for Academic Testing: How Much Can We Trust the Results?
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/s/97124958569\nMeeting ID: 971 2495 8569\nPasscode: 145795\n\nAbstract\nAI methodology has been proposed and investigated for use for aspects of academic testing that are expensive and time consuming such as test item development and scoring of open-ended responses. This presentation will summarize current applications of AI and these areas and highlight areas of concern for these uses. The focus of the presentation is on the accuracy of the results obtained from AI applications and methods used for obtaining measures of accuracy. The presentation is guided by standards for educational and psychological tests that have been developed by AERA\, NCME\, and APA\, and those produced by the International Test Commission (ITC). This is a very quickly changing area of development and investigation. Some ideas will be presented on the types of data that should be collected to document the types of AI procedures that are used and the quality of the results of the applications.\n\nBiography\nMark Reckase is a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University where he has taught courses in IRT\, large scale assessment\, and advanced psychometric methods.  He has published in the areas of IRT\, CAT\, value-added modeling\, and setting standards on educational tests.  He has recently written a book on the theory of standard setting. Professor Reckase has been the president of NCME and the International Association for Computerized Adaptive Testing (IACAT)\, the vice president of Division D of AERA\, and the secretary of the Psychometric Society.  He has served as editor of the Journal of Educational Measurement and Applied Psychological Measurement.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | The progenitor’s impact on globular cluster stellar stream models
DESCRIPTION:Dynamically cold stellar streams from globular cluster progenitors are important probes of the Milky Way’s dark matter\; their kinematic heating\, for example\, could help constrain the physical properties of dark matter subhalos. Direct N-body simulations are considered the ground truth\, but are often an impractical choice due to the computational expense. Particle-spray methods successfully produce stream models very quickly\, but are reliant on making certain approximations about escape physics. We have bridged the gap between these approaches with KRIOS\, a new basis-expansion N-body code. In this talk\, I will provide a high-level review of KRIOS’ technical details\, discuss preliminary results on streams from spinning progenitors\, and address the potential complementarity between KRIOS and the particle-spray distribution function developed here in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Taming projection effects in EFTofLSS analysis of DESI DR1 and beyond
DESCRIPTION:The analysis of galaxy clustering measurements from surveys like Euclid or DESI is likely to be affected by the so-called projection effects\, which causes the 1D marginals of the analysis to not contain the bestfit\; this is a serious issue which can potentially harm the cosmological interpretation of these analyses. In this talk I will present a few avenues to tackle this issue\, either using simulation-calibrated priors\, a frequentist framework\, or a reparametrization approach. All of these approaches can significantly reduce the projection effects\, following different strategies. Specifically\, I will show the application of these methods to current DESI DR1 data\, and will compare the results among them and with the baseline DESI analysis\, discussing as well the prospects for DESI DR2 and Euclid future analysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_May 7\, 2026 (12pm-3pm 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 first two portions of the test. 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 in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, 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\, 121\, 201\, 221\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 122\, 202\, 222\, 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 Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Growth of the length function for finite-dimensional algebras (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Let *A* be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field\, and *S* be its generating set. The smallest positive integer *k* such that all products of the elements from *S* of degree not exceeding *k*  span *A* is called the *length of S*. The maximal length of *S* among all sets *S* that generate *A* is called the *length of A*. The length function is an important invariant widely used to study finite-dimensional algebras since 1959. Due to its numerous applications\, it was thoroughly investigated as a purely algebraic problem. It is straightforward to check that the length of an associative finite-dimensional algebra is less than its dimension *d*\, and can be equal to *d-1* only for commutative algebras. \n\nWe show that the length of a *d*-dimensional non-associative algebra  is bounded by *2^{d-2}*\, and this bound is sharp. The investigations of the length function in the non-associative case is closely related with the combinatorial properties of  addition chains\, i.e.\, the sequences of natural numbers in which each term is a sum of two previous terms. These  sequences  are known since ancient times and are useful in the number of applications.  In particular\, Fibonacci sequence is a classical example of an addition chain without doublings. We prove that the length of a quadratic algebra of dimension *n* is bounded by the Fibonacci  number *F_{n-1}*\, and this bound is sharp. \n\nThe precise length evaluation is a difficult problem even in the associative case. For example\, the length of the full matrix algebra is unknown. It was conjectured by Paz in 1984 to be a linear function of the matrix size\; this conjecture is still open. We investigate different algebraic properties of the length function for associative and non-associative algebras and estimate  length for different classes of non-associative algebras.   \n\nThe talk is based on a series of joint works with Dmitry Kudryavtsev\, Olga Markova and Svetlana Zhilina.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.

DESCRIPTION:SCSAP Special Research Seminar\nDate: Tuesday\, May 12th\, 2026\nTime: 9:30-10:30 AM EST\nLocation: Virtual ONLY\n\nTITLE: Working toward cancer care in 2030 : AI+X for Precision Medicine 2.0\, Population Health\, Aging and Global Health Impact\n\nFEATURING: Joe Poh Sheng YEONG\, MBBS\, PhD\, FRCPath\, IMCB (A*STAR) and Singapore General Hospital\n\nCancer clinical trials face major recruitment challenges\, with delays in patient matching contributing to high failure rates and billions in annual losses. Immune profiling technologies such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplex IHC are essential for biomarker discovery and precision oncology\, but their widespread use is limited by cost\, tissue scarcity\, and labor-intensive workflows.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss how AI-driven spatial biology approaches\, including our H&E 2.0 platform\, can accelerate patient triage and biomarker screening for clinical trial recruitment. As combination immunotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates expand\, scalable and cost-effective biomarker testing is becoming increasingly important for drug development and clinical decision-making.\nI will also highlight advances in spatial proteogenomics from our recent Nature cover study (April 2025)\, demonstrating how integrated spatial proteomics\, genomics\, and transcriptomics can reveal tumor heterogeneity\, immune interactions\, and noncanonical “dark” proteins involved in cancer progression. By combining AI with longitudinal population-scale data\, we developed predictive models capable of forecasting critical illness years in advance.\n\nFinally\, I will introduce an AI-powered “pseudo-time” framework aimed at supporting more timely\, accessible\, and value-based precision medicine worldwide.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Accessibility by Design: Equitable Teaching Practices for Graduate Instructors
DESCRIPTION:GSIs often encounter accessibility as a set of requirements handed down after a course is already underway\, but many of the most meaningful accessibility decisions happen in the day-to-day work that graduate instructors actually control: discussion facilitation\, assignment instructions\, slide design\, communication with students\, and office hours. In this interactive workshop\, participants will explore how to integrate accessibility thinking into these everyday teaching practices. Drawing on universal design for learning principles and real scenarios from GSI teaching contexts\, we will work through cases where accessibility needs arise and consider how small\, proactive choices can prevent barriers before they form. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for making their teaching more equitable\, not as a compliance checklist\, but as a core part of effective instruction.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_May 14\, 2026 (12pm-3pm 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 first two portions of the test. 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 in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, 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\, 121\, 201\, 221\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 122\, 202\, 222\, 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 Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense - A Composite Likelihood Approach for Inferring Isolation by Environment on Spatially Autocorrelated Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Understanding the factors that govern the distribution of genetic variation across a species is a fundamental goal of population genetics\, and has important implications for conservation. For example\, identifying environmental variables that influence gene flow can help us predict how populations may respond to rapidly shifting ecologies in the face of climate change. However\, when nearby environments tend to be similar\, it is hard to tell whether observed patterns of gene flow are actually controlled by environmental variables\, or whether they are just controlled by distance\, which is the default expectation. In this talk\, I will introduce an update that I developed to the R package BEDASSLE\, which is designed to distinguish between these scenarios\, called isolation by environment (IBE) and isolation by distance (IBD). My update modifies the underlying model\, making the package faster and compatible with larger datasets\, and adds a model selection component that directly tests whether IBE\, IBD\, or both combined\, best explains the data. The updated method performed well on my simulated data\, suggesting that it could be a useful tool for understanding what shapes genetic structure in populations.\n\nAdvisor: Gideon Bradburd

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense - Comparing Phyllostomid Bat Brains to Feeding Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Summary: In mammals\, large brains are associated with improved cognitive performance and complex social interactions. Some hypotheses posit that solving complex ecological problems (e.g.\, foraging) drive some taxa to evolve large brains. Although many studies have analyzed bat brain size relative to diet\, few have analyzed bat brain shape in the same way. The bat family Phyllostomidae is an ideal taxonomic group to examine brain morphology and diet because of the wide range of diet types within the family\, including carnivores\, frugivores\, insectivores\, nectarivores\, omnivores\, and sanguivores. My thesis addressed two questions: (1) what is the effect of various diets on brain size in phyllostomid bats\; and (2) what is the effect of various diets on the shape of the brain in phyllostomid bats? Using 3D Slicer (3D segmentation and visualization software)\, I generated endocranial casts (endocasts) from the skulls of 73 voucher specimens located in four natural history museums. Endocasts are often used as a proxy for brain size and shape. I used 3D Slicer to determine the endocast volume\, measure the occipital condyle width (a proxy for body size)\, place 30 fixed landmarks on the endocast\, and export Procrustes landmark coordinates to determine size and shape. The results indicated that diet was not a significant predictor of endocast volume in phylogenetic analysis of variance (ANOVA) models. However\, the generalized linear mixed models showed that frugivorous and sanguivorous phyllostomids had significantly larger endocast volumes than insectivorous phyllostomids\, but the magnitude of the change was not large. Regarding endocast shape\, the principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the first principal component accounts for 18.9% of the variation in brain shape\, which corresponds with some aspects of cerebrum and cerebellum size along the sagittal plane\, and length of the olfactory bulb. The second principal component accounts for 14.3% of the variation in brain shape\, which corresponds with changes in endocast height and width. The third principal component accounts for 10.6% of the variation in brain shape\, which corresponds to the width of the olfactory bulb and the paraflocculus. Based on the PCA and the phylogenetic Procrustes ANOVA results\, the effects of diet on endocast shape in phyllostomid bats appear minimal or absent. Instead\, endocast (and likely brain) shape seems to be driven primarily by other\, potentially species-specific factors that vary among species.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cultivating Academic Belonging to Promote Student Mental Health and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Data from a range of sources indicates that high numbers of college students are experiencing mental health challenges. In this session\, instructors will view a video case study** telling the story of an U-M alumn that invites them to consider how a lack of academic belonging affects student mental health and well-being. Participants then explore how structural and interpersonal issues exacerbate mental health challenges for students\, and discuss role-appropriate approaches faculty can take to cultivate academic belonging and proactively promote their students’ mental health and well-being.\n**The video case study in the session contains strong language\, challenges related to mental and well-being\, and references to racism and Indigenous genocide and erasure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB Tuesday Popup: Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:AI tools for research are advancing at a pace that often outstrips traditional academic training. These tools are powerful\, but using them effectively to produce high quality research is a skill in itself. So how do we use AI to move faster and accelerate biological discovery without sacrificing scientific rigor and our sense of engagement with our work?\n\nWe hope to build a community dedicated to keeping up with new tools\, sharing ai-augmented research workflows what work well\, and staying human in an AI world.  \n\nWe are launching the Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community!\n\nOpen to: Anyone in the UM bioinformatics and biomedical community - researchers\, students\, and staff. \n\nHow The Learning Community Works:\nOur biweekly 60-minute sessions are broken into three high-impact segments:\n\nThe Spotlight (20 mins): A volunteer demonstrates a specific workflow they’ve integrated into their research. (Examples: Hypothesis generation\, AI agent creation\, GitHub management\, or Literature synthesis).\n\nFoundational Knowledge (20 mins): A focused tutorial on the skills needed to direct AI tools and critically evaluate outputs. (Example: Key safety considerations when deploying agents or best practices for software management).\n\nThe Human Side (10 mins): An open\, facilitated discussion on navigating our changing relationship with work\, learning\, and intellectual identity in the age of AI. (Example: The Engagement Gap: Talking about the 'boredom' of automation—how to stay excited about a project when the AI is doing the heavy lifting?)\n\nThe Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community is sponsored by the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_May 20\, 2026 (12pm-3pm 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 first two portions of the test. 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 in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, 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\, 121\, 201\, 221\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 122\, 202\, 222\, 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 Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu
