SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”: Novel and Film
DESCRIPTION:For this class instructor\, Mary Engelhardt\, will facilitate a discussion of John Steinbeck’s novel and John Ford’s 1940 film adaptation\, with ample time to process both what we read and what we see. Considered to be Steinbeck’s masterpiece\, The “Grapes of Wrath” is a story of human unity and love\, confirming the need for cooperation rather than individualism during hard times. \n\nPlease secure and read the entire 455-page novel. First published in 1939\, the novel takes place during America’s Great Depression\, which lasted from the Stock Market Crash of October 1929 until the beginning of World War II. During this time\, a long period of drought and high winds impacted large parts of the American Midwest\, creating what was called the Dust Bowl. Many people in the lower Midwest moved elsewhere\, hoping to find fertile land on which to make a living. \n\nThe novel was #12 on the list of the 100 most-loved books in PBS’s The Great American Read. \n\nInstructor\, Mary Engelhardt has a BS degree in elementary education with a minor in Language and Literature from Eastern Michigan University. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Degree from Oakland University. Steinbeck is Mary’s favorite author.\n\nThis study group will meet on Tuesday\, November 30 and Wednesday\, December 1.  Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar. Digital City: A Spatial Study on Nonextant Islamic Infrastructure in Early Modern Ottoman Filibe
DESCRIPTION:The symbolic rupture with the imperial past in many post-Ottoman cities in the Balkans materialized via organized effort for “modernization” of the urban space systematically carried out by the nation-state authorities. As a result\, a large segment of the built-in environment was replaced early on by “modern” public and residential architecture\, a process that went hand in hand with a substantial alteration of the inherited street network. The transformative nature of the intentional policies for reshaping the cityscapes often quickly obliterated the Ottoman urban tissue\, thus depriving modern scholarship of studying the morphology of the cities from the Ottoman era based on preserved examples. Moreover\, contemporary archaeology cannot be particularly effective because most of the buildings that replaced the Ottoman structures still stand in densely built modern urban cores\, which impedes any destructive and/or non-destructive archaeological studies.\n\nThis apparent lack of reliable\, cadastral\, or archaeologically derived data calls for alternative methods to study the long-vanished Ottoman urban fabric and the public buildings constituting its skeleton. Bringing together a wide array of different sources that offer useful information on architectural objects\, street patterns\, and separate residential areas (mahalle)\, this lecture aims to introduce a methodology for creating a spatially referenced database\, which can digitally recreate the non-extant urban fabric of Ottoman cities in the Balkans. Focusing on a detailed analysis of Filibe (Plovdiv)\, the principal town of Central Bulgaria\, the lecture seeks to demonstrate the general applicability of the methodology for studying urban development across the Ottoman Empire.\n\nGrigor Boykov\, Ph.D. in Ottoman history (2013)\, is a researcher at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Before joining the Academy in 2019\, he taught at the University of Sofia (2014-2019)\, Central European University in Budapest (2015-2016)\, and was a research fellow at the Netherlands Institute in Turkey (2012-2014). Boykov has been a team member of the projects “The Fashioning of a Sunni Orthodoxy and the Entangled Histories of Confession-Building in the Ottoman Empire\, 15th -17th Centuries” (2015-2016) and “Industrialisation and Urban Growth from the mid-nineteenth century Ottoman Empire to Contemporary Turkey in a Comparative Perspective\, 1850-2000” (2017-2019). In 2019\, he received MSCA-IF for his project Population Geography of Bulgaria\, 1500-1920: An Historical Spatial Analysis (POPGEO_BG)\, conducted at Koç University in Istanbul. Among other projects\, Boykov is currently working on a Historical Gazetteer of the Ottoman Empire (in cooperation with M. Erdem Kabadayı) and the Ottoman Archive of Zograf Monastery on Mt. Athos.\n\nRegister at: https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJckdOmurTwpH9aTFJSCS0xeoIg-uX7KcO2O

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Autonomous and Connected Vehicle Safety
DESCRIPTION:A significant\, persisting challenge in transportation is traffic safety which\, despite a decrease in vehicle miles traveled (VMT)\, led to 38\,680 deaths and over 2.8 million injuries in the United States last year. Traffic crashes also result in an estimated economic loss of over $230 billion annually. Integrated vehicle passive and active safety systems and connectivity are required to mitigate crashes or avoid collisions.\n\nFor the final Distinguished Lecture Series of 2021\, the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT) is pleased to welcome Dr. Azim Eskandarian to review some timely research areas on vehicle control systems\, signal processing\, and communication-enabled connectivity to address the pervasive vehicle safety problem. Dr. Eskandarian will also discuss a holistic approach to vehicular safety and its advanced research challenges\, including connectivity\, ranging from partial to full autonomy and collision avoidance implications. Attendees will see a critical perspective on personal mobility and the future of driving that ensures safety and congestion mitigation while minimizing energy consumption.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Webinar: Collaborative Research to Manage Stormwater Impacts on Coastal Reserves
DESCRIPTION:Like many older towns along the east coast\, Beaufort\, North Carolina grew at a faster pace than its stormwater and wastewater infrastructure. Stormwater outfalls that discharge into coastal waters have detrimental impacts on human and ecosystem health\, and stormwater runoff often results in elevated levels of pathogens and nutrients\, which can lead to fishing and swimming closures\, illnesses\, and negative impacts on coastal ecosystems. To better understand the effects of stormwater\, a project team based at the Rachel Carson component of the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve used a comprehensive sampling regimen to gather quantitative information that helped them assess the effects of precipitation and tidal inundation on stormwater impacts\, and identify sources of fecal contamination.\n\nIn this webinar\, members of the project team discuss the technical and collaborative aspects of their approach\, including the sampling regimen and how their engagement approach resulted in a decision-maker summit and citizen science app that fosters ongoing community engagement on stormwater issues.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE JOB TALK PRACTICE: Data Analytics & Operations Research for Vulnerable Populations - Anna White
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Studies of vulnerable populations have an important and growing presence in the field of operations research and data analytics. In this talk\, l will present one chapter of my dissertation work in which I use inferential modeling to better understand location characteristics for illicit massage businesses in the United States. Illicit massage businesses are a venue for sex and labor trafficking in the US and are primarily regulated at the state and local level\, allowing for transience and spatial variation across local boundaries. Using web-scraped advertisement data over a 6-month period\, I modeled illicit massage business prevalence at the Census tract and county levels. I used publicly available data to analyze location characteristics using a single- and multi-stage inferential machine learning model. Significant contributors to IMB prevalence included the state in which they were located and the racial composition\, religious presence\, and rent and income levels in the area surrounding the IMB. I will close the talk by discussing my insights on thoughtfully using data to model and understand vulnerable populations.\n \nBio: Anna White is a PhD candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering at the University of Michigan and a member of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Certificate Program. She specializes in applications-driven research using operations research tools including data analytics\, simulation modeling\, predictive modeling\, spatial data analysis\, and applied optimization. In her dissertation work\, she has tackled issues including discriminatory housing policy\, human trafficking\, cell phone network resilience\, and treatment access for opioid use disorder. She has also worked with the Air Force Research labs on communication systems modeling and simulation. In 2020\, she served as President of the UM INFORMS Student Chapter\, which received the Dean’s North Campus MLK Spirit Award for their work on anti-racism\, diversity\, equity\, and inclusion including a virtual fundraiser and journal club. She also led a pro-bono consulting project to design a facility layout for a new neighborhood tool lending library with a local neighborhood organization and Habitat for Humanity. Prior to Michigan\, she received her bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering at Clemson University\, where she conducted research on bus fleet electrification for the Clemson campus.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Examining Topology and Thermodynamics Using Quantum Computers
DESCRIPTION:Quantum hardware has advanced to the point where it is now possible to perform simulations of physical systems and elucidate their topological and thermodynamic properties\, which we will discuss in this talk. I will give a brief introduction to quantum computing and why they might be useful tools for solving problems in condensed matter physics and beyond. Following that\, I will present a perspective on thermodynamics of quantum systems ideally suited to quantum computers\, namely the zeros of the partition function\, or Lee-Yang zeros. We developed quantum circuits to measure the Lee-Yang zeros\, and used these to reconstruct the thermodynamic partition function of the XXZ model. The zeros qualitatively show the cross-over from an Ising-like regime to an XY-like regime\, making this measurement ideally suitable in a NISQ environment. If time permits\, I will discuss our demonstration of how topological properties of physical systems can be measured on quantum computers. We leverage the holonomy of the wavefunctions to obtain a noise-free measurement of the Chern number\, which we apply to an interacting fermion model.\n

SUMMARY:Other:Tuning Active Sites in Catalytic Nanomaterials through Colloidal Synthesis
DESCRIPTION:Supported metal atoms and nanoparticles are found ubiquitously as heterogeneous catalysts for a wide variety of industrial\, organic\, and energy catalytic processes. The electronic and steric environment at the nanomaterial surface has a huge impact on the reactivity and selectivity of catalytic transformations occurring at surface active sites\, but these properties are difficult to independently control through conventional materials synthetic methods. In this work\, we develop molecularly-precise surface functionalization strategies in order to precisely tune both the ensemble geometry and redox properties of active site metal atoms. These strategies include 1) the adsorption of inorganic ligands on colloidal nanoparticle surfaces in order to synthesize monolayer and sub-monolayer core-shell catalysts\, 2) control of bimetallic surface ensemble geometry to catalyze diastereoselective organic reactions\, and 3) tuning the metal–sulfur coordination environment of single atoms supported on metal chalcogenide nanosheets for electrochemical catalysis. All of these strategies develop new structural frameworks for modulating the surface active site environment in order to access more reactive and selective nanomaterial catalysts.                        \n                       \nChristina Li (Purdue University)
