SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mini Symposium Series: AI & The Future of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:By now\, almost everyone has spoken to Alexa and Siri or asked for advice from the sage oracle\, ChatGPT.  Just like cell phones and the internet\, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly a part of everyday life.  \n\nBut what could it mean for the future of biomedicine and healthcare? \n\nOur next mini symposium will explore this complex and critical topic\, with special guest Peter Lee\, Ph.D.\, President of Microsoft Research\, one of the world’s leaders in AI medical science. \n\nDr. Lee leads research for Microsoft across 13 laboratories worldwide. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and under President Obama\, he was a Commissioner on Enhancing National Cybersecurity. In 2023\, he coauthored “The AI Revolution in Medicine\, GPT-4 and Beyond” and was named by Time magazine in 2024 as one of the 100 most influential people in health and life sciences. \n\nFrom all accounts\, AI is poised to revolutionize numerous aspects of medical research and care. In fact\, the change has already begun. With unparalleled speed and efficiency\, this technology can plow through vast amounts of data in nanoseconds.  From diagnostics and treatment planning to drug discovery and innovations we haven’t even imagined\, AI is revolutionizing medical research and care.   \n\nOn Sept. 11 at 2 p.m.\, via Zoom\, Eva L. Feldman\, M.D.\, Ph.D\, will sit down with Dr. Lee for a discussion of “AI & the Future of Medicine.”  \n\nDr. Feldman will then be joined by Michigan Medicine’s own AI experts — Michael Burns\, M.D.\, Ph.D.\; Brahmajee Nallamothu\, M.D.\; and Jenna Wiens\, Ph.D. — for a live panel discussion during which they will field questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Exploiting Intersectoral Synergies for Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe energy transition will deepen interactions between sectors\, requiring models that co-optimize objectives across sectors. I will present three studies that co-optimize between different sectors. The first will focus on the intersection between the buildings and the electricity sector. Electrifying buildings using heat pumps is essential for decarbonization but may exacerbate trade-offs between the sometimes-conflicting objectives of building occupants\, power systems\, and society. To navigate these trade-offs\, we develop a modeling framework that rapidly co-optimizes home energy bills\, indoor temperatures\, power system air pollution externalities\, and the monetized cost of meeting peak demand. The second study will estimate the impact of controlled charging of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and vehicle-to-home charging on lifetime GHG emissions and homeowner utility bills. Compared to uncontrolled charging\, optimizing charging and using EV batteries to optimally shift electricity purchases for other household loads\, a strategy referred to as V2H\, could reduce emissions from non-EV loads by more than EV charging increases emissions in 69% of U.S. counties\, covering 62% of the population. V2H could cut costs by $3800 (5th-95th percentile range $2400-$5600) or 61% (37%-91%)\, and life-cycle emissions by 38tCO2e (24tCO2e-57tCO2e) or 89% (50%-150%). In the third study\, we present a consequential emissions analysis of vehicle to grid charging of BEVs\, which accounts for induced structural changes in the power system. This induced investment reverses V2G’s emission effects: estimates ignoring capacity changes show BEVs increase grid emissions externalities by $240–610 per BEV-year\, whereas estimates accounting for induced renewable investments show adding BEVs reduces grid emission externalities by $2200 per BEV-year with V2G.\n\nBiography:\nParth Vaishnav is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Systems at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:Title: Searching for the First Stars with Stellar Archaeology\n\nAbstract: The first stars formed directly out of pristine big bang material. These metal-free Population III stars are thought to have been unusually massive\, and their lives and deaths set the stage for all subsequent cosmic evolution. The properties of Population III stars cannot be directly determined at high redshift\, but they still can be accessed observationally using nearby relic stars and galaxies that have survived from ancient times with an approach called Stellar Archaeology. The elemental abundances of such old\, metal-poor stars encode otherwise inaccessible information about the first stars. I will present recent insights into the nature of the first stars gleaned from stellar archaeology\, including new observational constraints on the nature of the first supernova explosions and steps towards understanding the initial mass function. I will show that current methods are likely probing only a subset of all Population III stars that existed. These limitations can likely be overcome as we move into the era of industrial stellar spectroscopy and extremely large telescopes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Ziwet Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 9\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1324: Science 2.0 - Evolving the Scientific Method in the Age of AI\nThere will be a reception after the Tuesday Colloquium in the Math Upper Atrium.\n\nWednesday\, September 10\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: Matrix-Mimetic Tensor Algebra: Optimal Decompositions and Equivariant Learning\n\nThursday\, September 11\, 4 pm\, East Hall 4448: From Big Data to Right Data: Information-Theoretic Optimal Experimental Design\n\n\nTuesday\, September 9\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1324: Science 2.0 - Evolving the Scientific Method in the Age of AI\nThis lecture addresses the historical trade-off between interpretable but expertise-dependent deductive models and scalable but non-interpretable data-driven approaches by introducing hybrid AI frameworks that transcend this divide. We present AI-Descartes (generator-verifier paradigm)\, AI-Hilbert (unified hypothesis generation and testing)\, and AI-Noether (algebraic-geometric theory revision via abductive reasoning) as transformative approaches to mathematical model discovery. These frameworks advocate for conceptual evolution of the scientific method toward deeper AI integration in pursuing both interpretable and universal models.\n\nWednesday\, September 10\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: Matrix-Mimetic Tensor Algebra: Optimal Decompositions and Equivariant Learning\nThis lecture introduces a novel tensor-tensor algebra that preserves essential matrix-algebraic properties while overcoming limitations of conventional tensorial frameworks\, culminating in an Eckart-Young-like theorem that resolves a decades-long open problem in tensor analysis. We demonstrate how this framework enables seamless retrofitting of existing computational workflows (Hamiltonian neural networks\, tensor Graph Convolutional Networks) and extends to tensor group symmetry theory for equivariant learning applications. This work opens pathways to new tensorial algebras that can reveal deeper patterns in high-dimensional information previously inaccessible to traditional methods.\n\nThursday\, September 11\, 4 pm\, East Hall 4448: From Big Data to Right Data: Information-Theoretic Optimal Experimental Design\nThis lecture addresses the modern paradox where unprecedented data accumulation capabilities make selective identification of informative samples more critical than ever for meaningful model development. We review theoretical foundations of experimental design within inverse problems frameworks\, examining strategies for well-posed and ill-posed settings while establishing approaches for design preferences\, budget allocation\, and risk assessment. Through information-theoretic principles\, we demonstrate how optimal experimental design creates a paradigm shift from data volume to information content\, with transformative implications for resource-constrained scientific methodology.\n\nDr. Lior Horesh is a Principal Research Scientist\, Master Inventor and a Senior Manager of the ‎Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science (formerly Mathematics of AI) department at IBM Research. His department’s mission is to approach some of the big ‎challenges the field of AI is facing\, from a principled mathematical angle. Additionally\, Dr. Horesh ‎holds an adjunct Associate Professor position at the Computer Science department of Columbia ‎University where he teaches graduate level Advanced Machine Learning and Quantum Computing ‎courses. Dr. Horesh Received his Ph.D. in 2006 from UCL and joined IBM in 2009.\n\nThe Ziwet Lectures were established in 1934 through a bequest from Professor Ziwet\, Chair of the UM Department of Mathematics from 1888-1925. He stipulated that his estate “should be used for the promotion of scientific work.” The Ziwet lectures have been one of the most prestigious lecture series in the department.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Plant disease dynamics in a warmer world: insights from Plantago and their powdery mildew pathogens
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - I will highlight our lab’s current projects which explore the effects of large- and small-scale climate variation on the ecology and evolution of plant diseases. Our focal system for this work involves natural populations of Plantago host plants and their powdery mildew pathogens. We use observational\, experimental\, and theoretical approaches to study these plant-fungus interactions along a large latitudinal gradient (spanning from southern Louisiana to northern Minnesota) and across an urbanization gradient in St. Louis\, Missouri. Key research questions we have recently asked include: How does climate shape the geographic distribution and seasonality of powdery mildew on Plantago around the world? Are powdery mildew strains locally adapted to temperature or to host genotypes along a latitudinal gradient? In what geographic regions and seasons can powdery mildew undergo sexual reproduction? How do powdery mildew dynamics vary within and between host populations across a gradient of urbanization? Why are there larger powdery mildew epidemics in more urban populations? Our answers to these questions fill critical gaps in understanding wild plant-pathogen interactions in an increasingly warm and urbanized world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Pop after Empire: Disco\, Decolonization\, and the Re-Making of a Music Industry
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Kira Thurman investigates the rise of Black Europeans in popular music since WWII. After the collapse of European empires\, European popular music industries turned to the musical labor of former colonial subjects to reinvent themselves in an increasingly global and English-speaking marketplace. Interpreting many Black European pop stars such as Boney M or Milli Vanilli as Black Americans\, however\, transatlantic listeners often failed to recognize the musicians performing in front of them as belonging to European history. How\, then\, do we account for both the overwhelming presence—and discursive absence—of Black Europeans in modern history? This talk seeks to illuminate how musical producers\, performers\, and their audiences sought to make sense of—and occasionally reject—the category of ‘Black Europe’ in the wake of a newly emerging post-imperial Western Europe.\n\nKira Thurman is an associate professor of History at the University of Michigan\, with affiliations in Germanic Languages & Literatures\, Musicology (School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance)\, and AfroAmerican and African Studies. Her research explores Europe’s contemporary and historical relationship with the Black diaspora. Her first book\, \"Singing like Germans: Black Musicians in the Land of Bach\, Beethoven\, and Brahms\" (Cornell University Press\, 2021) won seven awards\, including the George Mosse Prize in European Intellectual and Cultural History from the American Historical Association and the Judy Tsou Critical Race Studies Award from the American Musicological Society. NPR selected it as one of their favorite books of 2021.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR: The ring of cooperations for real Hermitian K-theory
DESCRIPTION:In the 80s\, Mahowald used the bo-Adams spectral sequence to determine the v1-periodicity in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. Towards computing this spectral sequence\, one must compute the ring of cooperations for bo. In motivic homotopy theory\, there is a spectrum representing Hermitian K-theory called kq\, which has many properties similar to bo. We will compute the ring of cooperations for Hermitian K-theory over the real numbers and show what this indicates for the real kq-Adams spectral sequence. Time permitting\, we will discuss related splittings in joint work with Guchuan Li\, Sarah Petersen\, and Liz Tatum.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 38th Graham Hovey Lecture with NPR's Andrea Hsu
DESCRIPTION:A sweeping effort to expand presidential power and overhaul the federal government began the moment Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20\, 2025. Executive orders targeted the federal workforce\, reducing its size and making it more responsive to executive authority. Within a few months\, tens of thousands of federal employees were fired\, and far more resigned amid threats of mass layoffs. While a flurry of lawsuits has slowed those actions\, it’s abundantly clear that the government workforce is not what it was on January 20. What’s unclear is what the government will ultimately become and how the country will be changed in the process.\n\nNPR labor and workplace correspondent Andrea Hsu\, a 2012 Knight-Wallace Fellow\, has been closely covering the upheaval inside government agencies and the legal fights surrounding it. She’ll share insights from those still working within federal agencies and those who have recently been pushed out\, and explore what this transformation could mean for how Americans experience and rely on their government.\n\nThis is an in-person event and will not be live-streamed. However\, a recording of the lecture will be available on our website following the event. Reception following the lecture.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nAndrea Hsu began her journalism career as a locally hired researcher for the BBC’s Beijing bureau. She joined NPR’s Washington\, D.C.\, newsroom in 2002\, spending nearly two decades as a producer for “All Things Considered.” In late 2020\, she transitioned to NPR’s business desk\, where she reported on how the COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the workforce. Since 2021\, she has served as NPR’s labor and workplace correspondent\, focusing on the evolving dynamics of work in the United States.\n\nAbout the Graham Hovey Lecture\nThe annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of our national conversations. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey\, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.
