SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Binh Duong Giap (Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series featuring a presentation by Binh Duong Giap from the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences. Enjoy a complimentary pizza lunch while learning about innovative research and cutting-edge tools.\n\n“Advancing Cataract Surgery Analytics with AI: Pupil Segmentation and Surgical Skill Metrics”\n\nAbstract:  \nThe growing availability of surgical video data creates opportunities to develop computational tools for automated analysis of surgical procedures. In cataract surgery\, quantitative analysis of intraoperative videos can support research\, surgical training\, and objective assessment of surgical performance. However\, extracting reliable visual features from surgical videos remains challenging due to instrument occlusion\, lighting variations\, and complex surgical motion.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will present a computational framework for automated analysis of cataract surgery videos. First\, I introduce tensor-based feature extraction methods for robust pupil recognition and segmentation during surgery. These methods enable reliable detection of pupil structures under challenging intraoperative conditions. I will also present CatSkill\, an AI-based system that analyzes surgical videos to derive quantitative metrics for assessing surgical skill. Together\, these approaches demonstrate how computer vision and machine learning can enable objective analysis of surgical videos and support the development of data-driven tools for ophthalmic surgery.

SUMMARY:Tours:Exploring the Reef: Coral Reef Sustainability Tour
DESCRIPTION:Learn about coral reefs and how these unique ecosystems have a crucial role in supporting our planet. U-M researcher Dr. Bardwell will lead a tour of his coral reef tanks and share how sustainability and coral reefs are intertwined. Participants will have the opportunity to get a close-up look at coral reefs and discover the intricate lives of the creatures who live here.\n\nDue to the small room size\, this event involves standing for the entire duration of the event. If you need alternate arrangements\, please indicate that in the registration form or email pba-information@umich.edu as soon as possible.  \n\nWe will be meeting at the BSB West Atrium before traveling to Dr. Bardwell’s office together. Swipe access is required to access the coral reefs\, so please arrive on time to ensure you can join us for the tour.\n\nThe event is free and open to any U-M community member\, but registration is required. Space is limited for this program\, so please confirm your attendance for this event. Please email pba-information@umich.edu with questions or if you are no longer able to join this event after registering.
