SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Quantifying and Remunerating Flexibility of Grid-Connected Devices
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nWe discuss how emerging trends in electricity markets provide economic and environmental incentives for the development of new and flexible technologies capable of shifting loads across space and time and across scales. Harnessing flexibility is critical for the power grid as this seeks to absorb increasing amounts of intermittent renewable power.  However\, participation of devices in highly dynamic/volatile markets can lead to fast degradation and lost value\, which hinders participation. This raises the need to quantify the value of different types of flexibility provided by devices and to potentially create new markets that properly remunerate such flexibility. We illustrate the concepts via applications in energy storage\, data centers\, and electrochemical manufacturing. \n\nBiography:\nVictor M. Zavala is the Baldovin-DaPra Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is affiliated with the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. He holds a B.Sc. degree from Universidad Iberoamericana and a Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon University\, both in chemical engineering. He is an associate editor for ACS-I&ECR and is on editorial board of the journals Mathematical Programming Computation and Computers & Chemical engineering. He is a recipient of NSF and DOE Early Career awards and of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). His research interests include data science\, control\, and optimization and applications to chemical\, energy\, and environmental systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"The Search for Habitable-Zone Planets around the Nearest Stars:  Challenges\, Opportunities and Side Quests\"\n\nAbstract: In this talk I will discuss the challenges associated with the discovery of terrestrial mass planets orbiting in the Habitable Zones of the nearest stars\, and how these challenges have required us to develop extraordinarily stable and sensitive spectrometer in the optical and near-infrared to measure the subtle Doppler wobble introduced by these planets. These tools\, coupled with new analysis techniques are beginning to reveal such planets\, but highlighting also the challenges of stellar activity. I will discuss the development and evolution of some of these instruments (HPF & NEID) and the progress being made in tacking stellar activity. I will also highlight some of the discoveries made along the way\, like the most eccentric transiting planet\, a rare population of giant planets transiting M dwarfs\, the confirmation of GAIA’s first astrometric exoplanet discovery\, and systems which offer us unique insights into spots and activity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:BSI Information Sessions- Current UM Sophomores + W26
DESCRIPTION:We encourage every student interested in or contemplating an undergraduate degree at the School of Information to attend an information session. You will receive an engaging and comprehensive overview of the program\, as well as guidance for the application process. Sessions are hosted on different days and times to accommodate as many students as possible\, and you only need to attend one session before you apply.These information sessions are for Current University of Michigan students who are NOT freshmen.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Challenges in Trial Design for Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the Michigan Psychedelic Center's 2026 Seminar Series: Psychedelics — From Cells to Society. Learn more about the series at https://michiganpsychedelic.med.umich.edu/education-events/.\n\nAbout the Talk:\nFueled by positive findings from clinical trials\, psychedelic research has returned to mainstream psychiatry and neuroscience\, with a growing number of studies examining a wide range of conditions. However\, expectancy effects and effective condition blinding have been raised as critical limitations to the interpretability of this research. \n\nIn this talk\, Jacob Aday\, PhD\, will review the many methodological challenges of conducting psychedelic clinical trials and provide recommendations for improving the rigor of future research.\n\nAbout the Presenter: \nJacob S. Aday\, PhD\, is a Research Assistant Professor in the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center as well as the Michigan Psychedelic Center at the University of Michigan. His research interests are focused on improving research methodology and safety with psychedelics\, evaluating individual differences in treatment outcomes\, and assessing the potential use of psychedelic-assisted therapies for chronic pain populations.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR:  ERGODIC AVERAGES OVER COMPACT SUBMANIFOLDS AND APPLICATION TO DIOPHANTINE APPROXIMATION
DESCRIPTION:We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for averages over dilates of a compact submanifold for a measure-preserving Rd-action\, under the assumption of exponential mixing. We also obtain error rates\, giving explicit bounds on the speed of convergence. This has an application in multiplicative Diophantine approximation providing a partial analogue of Khintchine’s 0− 1 law. This is a joint work with Reynold Fregoli and Dmitry Kleinbock.
