SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s. A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.  His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Survival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beyond Survival\, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts. The exhibit opens May 30th and runs through September 14th. \n\nThe pieces span nearly 30 years\, many of them having been featured in our Annual Exhibition.\n\n\"Through drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures made with simple materials\, artists expose the harsh realities of incarceration while imagining life beyond prison. These works reveal a longing for home and family\, joy and beauty\, connections to nature\, flights of the imagination\, and journeys toward freedom—acts of creation made despite and in direct response to carceral conditions.\"

SUMMARY:Presentation:Analytical and Computational Approaches to Nonlinear Dynamics in Enzyme Kinetics and Sleep-Wake Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nReduced models for enzymatic mechanisms\, widely used in real-world biochemical applications\, are often governed by parametric restrictions that determine their accuracy and applicability. The work in this thesis focuses on addressing challenges in analyzing reduced models of two cornerstone enzymatic mechanisms: Michaelis–Menten (MM) mechanism and Intermolecular Autocatalytic Zymogen Activation (IAZA) mechanism. For the MM model\, we investigate the parametric conditions under which the standard quasi-steady-state approximation (QSSA) is not only valid but also predominant among competing reductions\, a distinction that guides optimal model selection for experimental design. Using the theory of fences and anti-funnels\, we derive sharp error bounds for the standard QSSA and introduce a new and more restrictive qualifier that ensures its predominance. For the IAZA model\, we analyze a perturbation regime that exhibits a dynamic transcritical bifurcation. Since classical reduction theory fails at bifurcations\, we implement the blow-up method to estimate the solutions and validate the well-known QSSA(s) near the bifurcation. \n\nA second focus of this thesis is the development of a gradient-based optimization framework for fitting noisy differential equation models of neuronal sleep-wake behavior to discrete sleep score data for rodents. Leveraging automatic differentiation and maximum mean discrepancy\, we optimize a physiologically motivated flip-flop model of interacting neuronal populations by incorporating exogenous noise. Our results show that modeling noise in both neural firing activity and the homeostatic sleep drive is essential to replicate the complex\, polyphasic structure of rodent sleep.
