First\, we will show how explainable deep learning techniques can be used to identify the flow features that are truly responsible for key turbulent processes in wall-bounded flows. By systematically interrogating trained neural networks\, we uncover the most influential coherent structures driving momentum transport and drag. Our results reveal that classically studied structures (while important) provide only a partial and sometimes misleading perspective\, motivating a more data-driven and physics-aware view of turbulence organization. Building on these insights\, we will demonstrate how deep reinforcement learning can be used to actively control turbulent flows by targeting the dynamically relevant structures identified through explainability. This approach achieves over 30% drag reduction in canonical wall-bounded turbulence and extends naturally to more complex configurations\, including turbulent wings\, highlighting the scalability of learning-based control strategies. Finally\, we will introduce a foundation-model-based framework for accelerated design\, optimization and scientific discovery. By learning compact\, interpretable latent representations of high-dimensional flow physics\, these models (combined with agentic-AI systems) enable rapid exploration of design spaces\, causal reasoning and closed-loop optimization\, bridging the gap between expensive simulations\, control and engineering decision making. Together\, these results illustrate how explainable and agentic AI are becoming essential for turbulence physics\, flow control and next-generation engineering design.\n\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:148874-21905036@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148874 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics,Applied Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260810T124116 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T154500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.

Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. \n\nThe GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases\, I’m About To Come Alive\, The Sound Of A Million Dreams\, I’m A Fire and Fighter\, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known\, MCA Nashville\, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be\,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date\, David Nail & The Well Ravens\, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh\, Mother\, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track\, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet\, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021\, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Me in 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. 2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. \n\nNail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words\, “My philosophy has always been\, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” UID:147966-21902634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/147966 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mutotix,Ark LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260709T121642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:Legendary conductor and educator H. Robert Reynolds served as the 6th Director of Bands at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 2001\, and then as the conductor of the University of Southern California's Wind Ensemble for another two decades after his retirement from U-M. He led the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings for much of its history and became known around the world for his expressive interpretations and as a champion of music for wind band. Maestro Reynolds passed away in January of this year at the age of 91\, and the University of Michigan Symphony Band pays tribute to his enduring and incomparable legacy in a program filled with some of his favorite classics alongside music that his leadership and creativity brought into our world.\n\nJason Fettig\, conductor\nCraig Kirchhoff\, guest conductor\nCarl St. Clair\, guest conductor\nJennifer Hepp\, graduate student conductor\nTimothy McAllister\, saxophone solo (Santos)\n\nPROGRAM\n*Hill Song\, No. 2*\, Percy Grainger \nFirst Suite in E-flat\, Gustav Holst \n*Lullaby for Kirsten*\, Leslie Bassett\n*Fervent is my Longing*\, J.S.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice. At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review and receive direct feedback from a panel of Stamps faculty members. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \n\nThe works in this year’s exhibition engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\n–Sally Clegg\, Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator & Pedram Baldari\, Assistant Professor\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n
