SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing energy-harvesting materials via the vapor phase: From water splitting silicon nanowires to solar absorbing hybrid perovskites
DESCRIPTION:The vapor-phase provides a unique capacity to encode precise composition and morphology in semiconductor materials and interfaces for energy-harvesting functionality. Here\, we highlight recent work on the vapor-phase synthetic control of Si nanowires\, photoelectrochemical interfaces\, and hybrid perovskite materials. Together\, these processes provide platforms to design chemically encoded\, nanostructured systems for applications ranging from solar water splitting to photovoltaic solar cells. First\, we show how abrupt transitions between p-type\, intrinsic\, and n-type silicon allow nanowire p-i-n superlattices to be synthesized that behave as multijunction photovoltaic devices with extraordinarily large photovoltages. Using spatio-selective photoelectrochemical deposition of hydrogen and oxygen-evolving co-catalysts\, water splitting particle suspensions are demonstrated. Second\, we show how planar silicon interfaces can be functionalized with nanoscale oxide and graphene layers\, facilitating the integration of molecular catalysts for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Finally\, we demonstrate the first metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). Use of separate vapor precursors for the lead\, organic\, and halide components allows the tuning of reaction conditions to grow the material directly with high purity. Overall\, the projects highlight the precise and tunable control of material composition\, morphology\, and functionality provided by the vapor phase.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Generative AI and Sexual Harms
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGenerative AI has made it easy to create and distribute nude\, sexual content without a person’s consent. With just an image of a face\, a person can be depicted in intimate contexts without their permission\, or even awareness. Victims of non-consensual intimate content (NCIM) experience extreme loss of privacy\, dignity\, and safety. Victims can range from celebrities to politicians to everyday citizens to children. NCIM online is not a new problem – people’s bodies and likeness have been captured\, altered\, and distributed online without their permission since the early days of the Internet. However\, the scale and scope enabled by generative AI has dramatically changed the landscape of sexual harms. We will examine the legal and ethical concerns posed by non-consensual intimate content and explore the regulatory and technological measures needed to address it. We will also provide practical recommendations for requesting takedown of non-consensual content after it happens.\n\nBiography\nSarita Schoenebeck is a Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. Her research examines social and technical approaches to creating safer and more equitable experiences online. Her research has been covered in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, NPR\, and elsewhere. She has taught at Michigan and Yale Law Schools and is a Member of the Yale Justice Collaboratory. Sarita received her PhD in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Tech.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Kelsey Book Club | *Hera* by Jennifer Saint
DESCRIPTION:Attend the April session of our monthly Kelsey Book Club! This event is open to all adults who have an interest in fiction\, mythology\, and the ancient world. Learn more about this program at https://myumi.ch/Drn1Q. \n\nThis month\, we are reading Jennifer Saint’s *Hera* (2024): “Traditionally portrayed as a jealous wife\, a wicked stepmother\, and a victim-blaming instrument of the patriarchy\, Hera is ripe for a retelling that shows her as a powerful queen―ruthless when she needs to be\, but also compassionate\, strategic\, and ambitious. With Hera\, beloved and bestselling author Jennifer Saint delivers another epic and enthralling reimagining of a Greek heroine we only thought we knew.”\n\nJoin us in Room 124 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Amanda Kubic\, PhD candidate in the University of Michigan’s Department of Comparative Literature. Light refreshments will be served. \n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.\n\n*Note: Registration for this session is now closed. *
