SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Topology of Algebraic Mapping Spaces
DESCRIPTION:The topology of spaces of continuous maps has been a topic of great interest for decades. Meanwhile\, through the Weil conjectures\, the topology (specifically\, l-adic cohomology) of certain moduli spaces of algebraic functions has had a profound impact on number theory. In this talk\, I will outline a framework for studying the cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic maps Alg(X\, Y) under certain conditions on X and Y. Our methods\, in particular\, confirm the geometric Manin's conjecture\, which predicts an asymptotic estimate for the number of algebraic maps over finite fields\, in the special case where Y is a complete simplicial toric variety and X is a curve. No prior knowledge of algebraic geometry beyond that of a typical first-year graduate student will be assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Computational 3D and 4D optical imaging at high spatiotemporal throughput\nAbstract:\nConventional optical imaging systems have difficulties scaling to high spatiotemporal throughput\, rendering it challenging or impossible to study complex and highly dynamic biological systems. In particular\, due to physical limitations of hardware-only systems\, it is difficult to develop imaging systems that can capture multidimensional information about dynamic samples at high resolution\, wide fields of view\, and high frame/volume rates. In this talk\, I present several high-throughput computational optical imaging systems from my research that take advantage of parallelized designs and large-scale multidimensional image reconstruction algorithms to achieve spatiotemporal throughputs of several billion pixels or voxels per second. I show that these new imaging capabilities enable high-resolution\, high-speed observation of the behaviors of multiple freely moving organisms in parallel\, in particular ants\, zebrafish\, fruit flies\, and C. elegans. As I start my lab at the University of Michigan\, I aim to continue pushing the boundaries of computational optical imaging to achieve orders of magnitude higher spatiotemporal throughputs to accelerate scientific discovery in biology and medicine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Milky Way Black Holes and the Tech to Find Them\"\n\nThe landscape for studies of stellar-mass black hole origins\, evolution\, and demographics has  expanded dramatically not only with the detection of gravitational waves\; but also the explosion of  EM photometric and astrometric time domain surveys. Time domain microlensing surveys are  particularly valuable for finding isolated black holes in our Milky Way. Microlensing probes black  holes across the mass spectrum in a relatively unbiased manner. I will present observational  results\, including the first detection of a free-floating black hole\, and population simulations that  show how sensitive microlensing surveys are to the black hole mass function\, binary fraction\, and  velocity distribution. I will also discuss the photometric and astrometric technologies needed to  expand the sample of stellar mass black holes know in the Milky Way\, including next-generation  adaptive optics systems for precise astrometry\, small space satellites for precise photometry over  wide fields\, and large space observatories\, such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\,  that simultaneously deliver photometry and astrometry for microlensing events. These technologies  and observatories will likely expand the sample of known Milky Way black holes by 100x in the  coming decade.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar -- A bound on the Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik number of semigroup rings
DESCRIPTION:The Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik (HSL) number is a degree of nilpotency for modules with a Frobenius action. One important class of such modules is the class of local cohomology modules of a ring of positive characteristic. For this class of modules HSL numbers can be connected to various F-singularities\, such as F-nilpotency and F-rationality. In this talk we give an upper bound for the HSL numbers of the local cohomology modules of pointed affine semigroup rings.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Evaluating the Effects of an Early Literacy Intervention
DESCRIPTION:We conduct a cluster-randomized evaluation of an early literacy intervention that provided Kenyan parents with illustrated children's storybooks and modified dialogic reading training.  Rural communities were randomly assigned to treatment or control.  Within treatment communities\, households were further randomized to receive children's storybooks in either Luo (the mother tongue of all children in the sample) or English (a national language\, and the primary language of instruction in grade 4 of primary school and beyond).  We estimate the impacts of treatment on children's vocabulary and literacy skills. Mother tongue storybooks improved early literacy among school-aged children\, but neither treatment improved pre-literacy skills among the preschool-aged children targeted for the program.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry: Gromov's cancellation\, motivic invariants and the Grothendieck ring of varieties II
DESCRIPTION:I explain some cancellation and non-cancellation phenomena in algebraic geometry\, such as the Gromov cancellation question: If the open complements of two closed subvarieties of an ambient variety are isomorphic\, are these closed subvarieties birational? This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seeing Chemicals in Blood: Advances in Optical Sensors Based on Oil Droplets
DESCRIPTION:We have developed two fluidic platforms that utilize specially formulated oil droplets as optical sensors for analyzing blood chemistry. The first platform\, pressure-driven droplet microfluidics\, continuously generates sub-nanoliter oil droplets to enable the chemical analysis of equally small aqueous samples. By preloading arrays of sensing oils and controlling their flow\, this system allows for real-time\, multi-analyte monitoring\, making it a promising tool for bedside critical care applications in hospitals. The second platform\, push-pull millifluidics\, integrates a microliter-sized liquid channel with a stepper motor to facilitate controlled extraction between an oil segment and an aqueous sample. Designed for portability and affordability\, this system offers a practical solution for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in home and small-clinic settings. Unlike traditional optical sensors\, these fluidic platforms uniquely enable the independent tracking of optical signals from the sensor phase\, sample phase\, and interface. Leveraging fluorescence and absorbance detection in the sensor phase\, we have successfully performed chemical analyses on complex biological samples\, including whole blood.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nancy Rao\, \"Sound\, Erasure and Archive of the Invisible: Chinese Theater in 19th Century California\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory hosts a lecture by distinguished guest scholar and SMTD alum Nancy Rao (MM ’89\, voice and music theory\; PhD ’94\, music theory). This event honors Rao's 2024 Professional Achievement in Music Award from the SMTD Alumni Board. All are welcome for the lecture (4:30-6:00 pm) and a reception to follow (6:00-7:00 pm).\n\nCantonese opera was woven into the Chinese community's cultural\, financial\, social\, and family life in 19th-century California. Yet excavating its music and performing history is nearly impossible\, not only because of archival hierarchy but also due to various forms of erasure. This lecture addresses the challenge\, particularly the need to 'listen for the unsaid\, translate misconstrued words\, and refashion disfigured lives.' It begins by discussing how a laborer's diary entries give color to the faded image of 19th-century Chinese theater in San Francisco and pull us into its everydayness. It then considers the theater institutionally as an expression of the transpacific community. At conclusion it considers the music and significance of a 1903 recording of Cantonese opera.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nNANCY YUNHWA RAO is Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University. Rao received PhD in Music Theory from the University of Michigan in 1994. Her earlier work includes the history of American music theory of the 1930s and Ruth Crawford Seeger\, the latter of which received the Lowens article award from the Society for American Music. Her current work bridges musicology\, music theory\, and Sinophone studies. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an Honorary Member of the American Musicological Society\, she is the author of *Chinatown Opera Theater in North America*\, which won three book prizes. She also contributed a chapter on East Asia for *The Cambridge Companion to Serialism*. Her analysis of materiality in the sonic imagery of East-Asian composition appeared in *Music Theory Spectrum*. Rao serves as the Editor-in-chief of *American Music*. Her forthcoming book\, *Inside Chinese Theater: Community and Artistry in 19th Century California and Beyond*\, will be published in March 2025.
