Lecture / Discussion:Assessing the Progress of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives in the College of Engineering: Student Perceptions of the Climate at the University of Michigan
2021-04-14 15:30 - 16:30 | Off Campus Location
The University of Michigan College of Engineering is nearing the end of its five-year strategic plan to improve the climate on campus with regards to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As part of that plan, focus groups were held with students across every department and program in the College of Engineering, to gather qualitative data that can serve as metrics to consider how the DEI strategic plan is progressing. Over thirty focus groups were held with more than 220 undergraduate and graduate students across the College in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. Students were asked about various elements of their perception of DEI, including factors that impacted their sense of inclusion, if they had been treated differently based on their identity, and their perceptions of the College and their department with regards to diversity. The data collected in these focus groups illuminates the nuance and complexity of the engineering student experience, and how that experience, and their perceptions of DEI in the College, can vary based on their identities and home department.

Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Physics of Partially Magnetized ExB Plasmas in the Laboratory and Space

Abstract:
Partially magnetized plasma is a regime where the electron dynamics across the magnetic field are controlled by the magnetic field. The electron Larmor radius is much smaller than the macroscale (e.g., geometric scale of the domain or device size), while the ion Larmor radius is much larger. Ions are weakly affected by the magnetic field. Such regimes occur in parts of Earths’ ionosphere, the solar chromosphere, and collisionless shocks in space. In natural conditions, the electric field perpendicular to the magnetic field is often created due to the relative flow of the electrons and ions. In laboratory and technological plasmas, an external electric field perpendicular to the magnetic field is applied so that the ions can be extracted and accelerated by the electric field, while the electrons remain trapped by the magnetic field enhancing the discharge efficiency. Such cross-field (or ExB) discharges are widely used in magnetron sputtering devices for material processing and plasma electric propulsion such as Hall thrusters. Despite their long history, many aspects of ExB physics are only qualitatively understood precluding the predictive modeling of, for example, the next generation of Hall thruster for space propulsion or the theoretical prediction of ionosphere irregularities. Quantitative characteristics of nonlinear plasma instabilities, plasma turbulence, and associated anomalous transport remain poorly understood. Physics of instabilities and transport in partially magnetized ExB plasmas will be discussed, presenting recent advances in analytical theory and numerical approaches, and highlighting critical questions and problems.

Livestream / Virtual:2021 David Noel Freedman Lecture
2021-04-14 16:00 - 17:30 | Off Campus Location
Objects form the critical deposits of museums and archives. This becomes obviously true in the case of biblical museums and archives that desperately rely upon material remains to bring the Bible to life. These archives have been central to Biblical Studies and the maintenance of the Bible as a product of imperial modernity. The Bible as a text and archive plays a critical role in the production and maintenance of the narratives of racial capitalism, a central aspect of Western modernity. By examining the language and ephemera of contemporary readers, who have been racialized by imperial logics that produce Bible translations and narrativize objects in archives, this presentation situates the geography of contemporary racialized readers as the site from which to develop an archive of the Bible. Local geographies, both the specific geography of the context of the Bible and the geography of a modern reader, are seen as productive challenges to the universalizing myths of modernity. Greater attention to contextual languages and experiences offer opportunities to unmask the cultural and geographical boundedness of stories, objects, and lives that form the core deposit of the Bible.

Livestream / Virtual:CCMB / DCMB Weekly Seminar
2021-04-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location - https://umich-health.zoom.us/j/93929606089?pwd=[REDACTED]
Abstract:
My lab's research involves the development and application of systems biology approaches—combining computation, machine learning, quantitative modeling, and experiments—to study the immune system in health and disease. Recent technological and computational advances allow comprehensive interrogation of multiple modalities (e.g., proteins, mRNAs, immune receptor sequences) in single cell resolution in the human population. Here I will highlight our work in the analysis human and single cell variations along the axes of early immune development, vaccination, and COVID-19. If time permits, I will also discuss the integration of tissue imaging, machine learning, and multiscale dynamical modeling of immune cell interactions to investigate the homeostatic regulation of autoreactive T cells.

Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The First Measurement of the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment from the Fermilab Muon g-2 Collaboration
2021-04-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Department Colloquium Link: http://myumi.ch/GkgBm

This colloquium will cover the physics and methods behind Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment, along with the long-awaited results from Run-1. The experiment was undertaken to resolve the tension between the Standard Model and the previous measurement taken at Brookhaven National Labs. The measured value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment is $a_mu(FNAL) = 116592040(54)×10^{−11}$. This result is in good agreement with Brookhaven's previous measurement. The new world average, $a_mu(Exp) = 116592061(41)×10^{−11}$, shows a difference from the theoretical value, $a_mu(Exp) = 116591810(43)×10^{−11}$, of 4.2 standard deviations, strongly hinting at physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment requires the simultaneous measurement of the muon precession frequency, the magnetic field, and the muons' distribution in the field. All three of these measurements will be discussed in context, along with the main systematic corrections and uncertainties.

Livestream / Virtual:MCAIM Colloquium - Black Hole Imaging: First Results and Future Vision
2021-04-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
In April 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) carried out a global Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observing campaign at a wavelength of 1mm that led to the first resolved image of a supermassive black hole. For the 6.5 billion solar mass black hole in the giant elliptical galaxy M87, the EHT estimated the spin orientation and constrained models of accretion on Schwarzschild radius scales. This work relied on two decades of technical advances in ultra-high resolution interferometry and theoretical General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations. This talk will review these advances and recent new EHT results. We will also look to the next decade when a next-generation EHT (ngEHT) that doubles the number of participating radio dishes in the VLBI network will enable time-lapse movies of M87 that link the black hole to the relativistic jet it powers. For SgrA*, the Galactic Center black hole that evolves on time scales 1000 times faster, ngEHT will produce real-time video.
