SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Learning Seminar: Matroids II
DESCRIPTION:Introduce the operations of deletion and contraction on matroids\, and the notion of minors of a matroid. Then discuss excluded minor theorems\, and in particular Tutte’s criterion in these terms for a regular matroid to be cographic.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:18th Annual Susan B. Meister Lecture in Child Health Policy
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of her February 8 performance\, GRAMMY Award–winning violinist and director of the Edinburgh International Festival Nicola Benedetti will deliver this year’s keynote lecture at the 18th annual Susan B. Meister Lecture in Child Health Policy.\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center (CHEAR)—within the Department of Pediatrics. Each year\, CHEAR hosts the Susan B. Meister Lecture in Child Health Policy that highlights speakers from a variety of disciplines to explore important child health topics.\n\nPanelists\nStefan Dohr\, principal horn\, Berliner Philharmoniker \nKatrina Stroud\, master's student in violin performance\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\nRenata Rangel\, STMD alumna (percussion)\, and faculty member at Merit School of Music in Chicago

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Extreme waves and large deviations for 2D pure gravity deep water waves
DESCRIPTION:We study the formation of extreme waves from a statistical viewpoint in the context of the pure gravity water wave equations in deep water. We quantify their probability under random Gaussian sea initial data up to the optimal timescales allowed by deterministic wellposedness theory. The proof shows that rogue waves most likely arise through \"dispersive focusing\"\, where phase synchronization produces constructive amplification of the water crest.\nThe main difficulty in justifying this mechanism is propagating statistical information over such long timescales\, which we overcome by combining normal forms and probabilistic methods. Unlike previous results\, this new approach does not require approximate solutions to be Gaussian. Joint work with M. Berti\, A. Maspero and G. Staffilani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry Seminar:  Superrigidity of rich representations
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the class of geodesically rich representations. These are representations of (real or complex) hyperbolic lattices that preserve a significant amount of the geometric structure of the associated quotient manifold. When the quotient manifold has robust geometric structure\, these representations exhibit rigidity phenomena. In particular\, a recent superrigidity theorem for rich representations was used to prove that finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with infinitely many maximal totally geodesic submanifolds are arithmetic (Bader-Fisher-Miller-Stover). I will discuss a new superrigidity theorem for rich representations that efficiently recovers existing results and addresses target groups that were previously inaccessible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When the Ocean Aerosolizes Pollution: Chemistry of the Products We Breathe
DESCRIPTION:Emerging atmospheric particulates—including micro- and nanoplastics\, engineered nanoparticles\, and chemicals used in consumer and industrial products—are increasingly detected in marine environments. My group combines field measurements with laboratory studies to elucidate the emissions\, enrichment\, molecular composition\, and multiphase chemical transformations of these particulates in sea spray aerosol (SSA). We investigate how particle matrix\, interfacial composition\, and phase state control reaction pathways and kinetics.\n\nFieldwork along the San Diego coastline reveals elevated concentrations of wastewater-derived contaminants in SSA associated with the Tijuana River\, with phthalate esters showing strong and chain-length-dependent enrichment. Complementary aerosol flow-tube and online mass spectrometry experiments probe the photo-initiated and heterogeneous oxidation of representative consumer-product compounds. We find that oxybenzone\, triclosan\, and bisphenol A undergo accelerated oxidation in SSA mimics—especially in the presence of salts and photosensitizers—forming higher yields of and more toxic particle-phase transformation products.\n\nTogether\, this work demonstrates how marine aerosols act as chemically active microreactors\, where multiphase kinetics and physicochemical properties govern the fate and transformation of particulates of emerging concern.
