SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LAGS | AI from a Real-Life Data Scientist
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMichigan Physics graduate Tim Olson will share insights and learnings from ten years of industry experience. He will share an overview of his career path leading from theoretical physics at Michigan to applied research and development for the space domain at Slingshot Aerospace\, with brief detours to other interesting topics along the way\, and discuss tips and strategies for successfully transitioning from academia to industry.\n\nBio:\nDr. Timothy Olson is the Manager for Advanced Concepts at Slingshot Aerospace\, driving research and development of patent-pending technologies for intelligent decision and behavior modeling in space environments. He also supports space domain awareness at Slingshot through analytics\, predictive modeling\, conjunction assessment\, and anomaly detection. Prior to Slingshot\, Tim received a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Michigan\, studying amplitudes and holography with Henriette Elvang. After graduate school\, he worked on geospatial and remote sensing applications at Maxar Technologies. Subsequently\, Tim spent five years at Yahoo where he developed novel algorithms and patented systems to detect and prevent fraudulent activity in the complex\, fast-paced digital advertising domain\, leading initiatives to address new activity patterns and risk vectors in emerging technology spaces. Tim's broad experience spans fundamental science research and academic publications through technology development and deployment of mature\, customer-facing software products.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Negative energies and the breakdown of bulk lengths in JT gravity
DESCRIPTION:One central puzzle in quantum gravity is to understand how and why predictions from semiclassical gravity can sometimes break down in a regime where we naively expect the semiclassical approximation to be valid. In particular\, overlaps among states that are orthonormal in the semiclassical approximation can receive large corrections from quantum fluctuations of the geometry. I will examine such overlaps among states of fixed length in the theory of pure JT gravity\, which is dual to the random matrix ensemble of Saad-Shenker-Stanford. Previously\, it has been discussed that the discreteness of the boundary spectrum must cause a breakdown of the bulk length basis for lengths proportional to the boundary inverse level spacing\, e^{S_0}.  I will discuss how the sum over quantum fluctuations at all orders in the bulk genus expansion indicates a more dramatic breakdown than previously expected\, at shorter lengths of O(e^{S_0/3}). From the perspective of the boundary spectrum\, these corrections arise from the presence of negative energies in rare members of the random matrix ensemble. Work in progress with John Preskill and Mykhaylo Usatyuk.
