SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cognitive Science Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Cognitive Science Seminar Series is an opportunity for graduate students and faculty from the cognitive science community at Michigan to engage with cutting edge research in the field. We welcome speakers from all areas of cognitive science\, including interdisciplinary developments in cognition and AI\, both within and beyond the University of Michigan cognitive science community. Seminars are held periodically throughout each Fall semester via Zoom.\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, October 27\, 2026 from 2:40 PM - 3:40 PM over Zoom!\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99774053256\nPassword: CSSSF26

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DSI Research Colloquium | The Urban Platform Playbook: Inside the Civic Tech Rewiring City Life
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the smartphone apps that allow you to request a ride\, get food delivered\, or even find a place to stay at the push of a button have become household names. But\, what about an app to fill the pothole on your street\, or monitor the flooding risks of local streams\, or raise funds to spruce up your local park? This talk will present ideas from a manuscript under preparation for a book telling the story of five civic urban platforms that have matured into new urban infrastructures in the United States in the past decade: municipal 311\, city data portals\, civic crowdfunding\, open stormwater\, and the use of crowdsourcing to analyze historical racial exclusion. Although these platforms may use similar technical ingredients as smart cities – such as data\, algorithms\, and interfaces – none aim at creating the automated\, optimized city animating the smart city dream. Instead\, they pursue a different\, more digitally connected city\, where technology is fostering new forms of connection\, resilience\, and civic vitality. The book’s original case studies are developed through interviews with the technologists and public servants who created them\, drawing out both the unique stories of each but also identifying generalizable lessons to inspire the next generation of urban technology. The argument of the book is that digital technology isn’t only for building a utopian automated city\, but instead a new type of city that fosters new forms of connections between citizens\, city government\, and the places they share.\n\nRobert Goodspeed\, PhD\, AICP\, is an Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. He teaches and conducts research in the areas of collaborative planning\, urban analytics\, and scenario planning theory and methods. He is the author of the book Scenario Planning for Cities and Regions: Managing and Envisioning Uncertain Futures\, over 30 articles and book chapters\, and an editor of four edited volumes on urban analytics and smart cities. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP)\, and currently serves as the board chair for Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM)\, a global society that organizes a leading biennial conference.\n\nThis event is in partnership with the Urban Tech Collective (UTC) housed at the University of Michigan’s Digital Studies Institute. UTC convenes U-M faculty and students from various disciplines investigating the imaginaries\, design\, and use of digital technologies within urban everyday life. UTC investigates topics related to physical and digital spaces\; mediated representations of urban space and urban communities\; digital rights and inequalities\; datafication\; urban intelligences\; and social change. The collective meets throughout the academic year to share research\, methodologies\, and best practices for the study of technology and urban life\, to host speakers\, and reimagine the role of urban technology scholarship\, design\, and policy in affecting more equitable\, sustainable futures.\n\nThe DSI Research Colloquium Series is closed to DSI-affiliated faculty and students. We strive to make our events accessible to all participants. If you anticipate needing accommodations or have questions about joining this event\, please contact Eric Mancini at dsi-administration@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Controlling Superconductivity and Topology through Electronic Correlations\, Electron-  Lattice Coupling\, and Interface Engineering
DESCRIPTION:High-temperature superconductivity and topological quantum matter remain among the central challenges in condensed matter physics. Their coexistence offers a promising route toward realizing Majorana zero modes and fault-tolerant quantum technologies. While studies of topological materials and electron-phonon coupling have largely relied on single particle descriptions\, the role of strong electronic correlations remains unresolved. In particular\, it is unclear (i) how correlations modify electron-phonon coupling [1] and lattice dynamics in determining superconducting transition temperatures and (ii) how electron-electron interactions drive topological systems beyond the single-particle limit. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to address these questions using parameter tuning-free embedded dynamical mean-field theory (eDMFT) [2]. By combining epitaxial thin-film growth\, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)\, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S). Focusing on FeX (X = Se\, S\, Te) thin films on SrTiO₃ (001)\, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the superconducting transition temperature () on the FeX₄ tetrahedral bond angle\, highlighting the crucial role of lattice geometry in correlated superconductivity [3]. We further present evidence for topological superconductivity and identify a distinct phase that competes with strong electronic correlations[4]. Remarkably\, both the measured superconducting gap and the eDMFT-derived electron-phonon coupling exhibit a dome-shaped dependence on the tetrahedral angle [5]. I will then show how these insights can be extended toward a predictive\, materials-by-design framework for topological superconductivity. Applying a multiscale framework to FeTe₀.₅Se₀.₅ and FeSe/GaAs heterostructures\, we predict multiple topological superconducting phases and identify experimentally viable materials platforms in which topology\, superconductivity\, and strong correlations can be engineered in concert [5\,6]. Together\, these results demonstrate how electronic correlations\, lattice geometry\, and interface engineering can be harnessed to control superconductivity and topology\, providing a pathway toward the rational design of correlated topological quantum materials and future Majorana-based quantum technologies.\n\nReferences:\n[1] S.
