SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Molecular Color Centers
DESCRIPTION:The unique combination of atomic-scale tunability\, reproducibility\, and chemical specificity make paramagnetic molecules a paradigm-shifting category of materials for quantum applications. This capability has the potential to be transformative for developing a bespoke quantum ecosystem\, as\, for example\, the requirements for a node within a quantum communications network are distinct and potentially orthogonal to those for a quantum sensor. In one specific example of this approach\, we imbued molecular qubits with the same read-out approach as defect-based systems. Using transition metal chemistry\, we designed the ground state\, excited states and dynamics based on straightforward ligand field analysis. By coupling optical read-out with spatial precision\, we seamlessly integrated a new class of materials with existing read-out technology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:PICS & LSA Opportunity Hub Interview Preparation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:If you are preparing for an upcoming interview or just want to learn more about the process\, this is the workshop for you! Learn about interviewing strategies\, preparation\, and common interview procedures.\n   \n   Space is limited. Please register for this event at https://myumi.ch/XGwmr\n   \n   This workshop typically addresses questions like:\n   - What is the typical interview process?\n   - What research should happen ahead of the interview? (mission/vision statements\, interviewer information\, etc.)\n   - How can you talk about your skills and experiences? (S.T.A.R. method)\n   - What are some sample interview questions and responses?\n   - How can you craft strong follow up questions as an interviewee?\n   \n   Taylor Sims\, PhD\n   Lead Coach\, LSA Opportunity Hub\n   As an Opportunity Hub coach\, Taylor helps students articulate the value of their varied trajectories\, affirming their instincts and empowering them to better understand themselves and their aspirations. Taylor holds a PhD in History from Michigan and consistently uses that training to support LSA students as they navigate continuity\, change\, and complexity.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at is-michigan@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yuchen Wu\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Department of Statistics and Data Science\, The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Sampling from a target distribution is a recurring theme in statistics and generative artificial intelligence (AI). In statistics\, posterior sampling offers a flexible inferential framework\, enabling uncertainty quantification\, probabilistic prediction\, as well as the estimation of intractable quantities. In generative AI\, sampling aims to generate unseen instances that emulate a target population\, such as the natural distributions of texts\, images\, and molecules. \n\nIn this talk\, I will present my works on designing provably efficient sampling algorithms\, addressing challenges in both statistics and generative AI. (1) In the first part\, I will focus on posterior sampling for Bayes sparse regression. In general\, such posteriors are high-dimensional and contain many modes\, making them challenging to sample from. To address this\, we develop a novel sampling algorithm based on decomposing the target posterior into a log-concave mixture of simple distributions\, reducing sampling from a complex distribution to sampling from a tractable log-concave one. We establish provable guarantees for our method in a challenging regime that was previously intractable. (2) In the second part\, I will describe a training-free acceleration method for diffusion models\, which are deep generative models that underpin cutting-edge applications such as AlphaFold\, DALL-E and Sora. Our approach is simple to implement\, wraps around any pre-trained diffusion model\, and comes with a provable convergence rate that strengthens prior theoretical results. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on several real-world image generation tasks. \n\nLastly\, I will outline my vision for bridging the fields of statistics and generative AI\, exploring how insights from one domain can drive progress in the other.\n\nhttps://wuyc0114.github.io/
