SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Biological Anthropology Colloquium: \"Was Paranthropus actually absent from the Afar Depression (Ethiopia)\, or have we just not found it yet?\"
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: Room change to 411 West Hall\n\n\"After decades of fieldwork\, the hominin genus Paranthropus is still not observed in the Afar Depression\, Ethiopia. Researchers have proposed various ecological and evolutionary hypotheses explaining this pattern\, but such explanations are contingent upon the absence of Paranthropus being a \"true\" pattern. Observed absence\, however\, is consistent with two mutually exclusive outcomes: Paranthropus never occupied the Afar\, or it did but just has not been found yet. For my talk\, I introduce a model that is able to place probabilities on these two outcomes to determine whether observed Paranthropus absence in the Afar reflects true absence.\"

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Different Paths in Engineering: Virtual Alumni Panel
DESCRIPTION:Wondering about the different paths students take after getting their engineering PhD? Join us for a (virtual) alumni panel! You will have the opportunity to ask and hear all about alumni's academic journey and current lives after earning their engineering PhDs from U-M. Invited speakers: Dr. Diane Peters\, Dr. Abigail (Abby) Azari\, and Dr. Sahithya Reddivari.\n\nAttendees will have the opportunity to receive MDEN Swag!\n\nRSVP is required: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/78103

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Faltings' theorem
DESCRIPTION:Faltings' theorem states that an algebraic curve of genus at least 2 over a number field has only finitely many rational points. This striking result demonstrates how geometry can influence arithmetic properties. In this talk\, I will present Bombieri's simplification of Vojta's proof. The key idea is to embed the curve into its Jacobian and study the height pairing on it. We will employ techniques from diophantine approximation to prove Vojta's inequality\, which imposes a stringent condition on rational points.
