SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Planning optimization approaches for power systems under wildfire-related decision-dependent uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe interaction between power systems and wildfires can be dangerous and costly. Distribution grids can be liable for the outbreak of wildfires during extreme weather. In wildfire-prone areas\, investment planning should consider the impact of operational actions on wildfire-related uncertainties affecting line failure likelihood. To address this planning exercise\, we propose two decision-dependent uncertainty (DDU) aware  frameworks  to optimize the combination of upgrades to improve the system’s ability to deal with wildfires. The first one is two-stage distributionally robust planning optimization problem with DDU\, where the first stage determines optimal switching actions and line investments\, and the second stage evaluates the worst-case expected operational cost under a DDU framework designed to account for the endogenous impact of power-flow levels and hardening investment decisions in the line failure probabilities. The second one is a multi-horizon planning framework that integrates these timescales within a single distributionally robust stochastic optimization model to capture both long-term and short-term uncertainties. We develop an exact decomposition algorithm that produces coordinated investment and operational policies across both horizons.\n\nBiography:\nAlexandre Moreira is a research scientist in the Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research applies mathematical programming techniques to critical questions in power systems planning\, operations\, and economics\, with a particular focus on novel methodologies for transmission expansion planning that account for reliability and resilience. At Berkeley Lab\, he leads and collaborates on projects that develop foundational modeling frameworks and tools to (i) formulate risk-based optimization and decision-making models to propose transparent\, well-informed \"cost vs. risk\" tradeoffs for infrastructure planning\, and (ii) support the valuation of emerging technologies. He holds BSc and MSc degrees from PUC-Rio\, Brazil\, and a PhD from Imperial College London.\n\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Variation in life history strategies shapes evolution across the tree of fishes
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - My research explores how ecology and life history strategies drive evolutionary processes and patterns in fishes. Life history strategies have direct links to fitness and vary dramatically among lineages\, and this variation can drive rates and patterns of trait evolution. In this talk I will highlight recent work demonstrating how a migratory life history strategy can influence trait evolution among populations and across clades spanning the fish tree of life. I will also present new research on macroevolution and diversification of lampreys\, an ancient lineage of jawless fishes with remarkably different life history strategies long thought to be linked to a novel speciation process.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ottoman Roots
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees planted in the late Ottoman Empire may have lived for over a century after the polity they grew up in disappeared from maps. Starting from these trees and their relationship to time\, this presentation elucidates the relationship between fruit production and violence at the end of empire. Many who planted the trees left—or were forced to leave—and newly settled people—many of them refugees themselves—came to care for these living relics of past social worlds. Through apricots\, figs\, grapes\, hazelnuts\, olives\, and pistachios\, the project places displaced people and their rootedness in the face of uprooting at the center\, and suggests their role in Turkey’s world-leading production of these commodities today. \n\nSamuel Dolbee is an environmental historian of the modern Middle East\, and an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. His first book Locusts of Power was the co-winner of the 2024 Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association Book Prize. His work has appeared in American Historical Review\, Comparative Studies of Society and History\, Environmental History\, Journal of Global History\, and Past & Present among other places. He was formerly editor-in-chief of and is currently a contributor to Ottoman History Podcast. \n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg's Earlier Instances of Trivalent Carbon
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan chemistry professor Moses Gomberg’s 1900 revelation\, “An Instance of Trivalent Carbon: Triphenylmethyl\"\, lauded on a centennial National Historic Chemical Landmark for challenging the “prevailing belief that carbon can only have four bonds”\, shifts its' place in our imaginations as the facts given here are accommodated. In 1898 Gomberg presumed that he had made a molecular complex of bromotriphenylmethane and two neutral iodine molecules. But he was mistaken. Instead\, Gomberg produced a mixture ofthree persistent single crystals of the triphenylmethyl cation before he published his aforementioned\, controversial paper. Trigonal carbon coordination was the crack in the valency rules that had organized chemistry prior to the invention of quantum mechanics. Gomberg did not recognize the wealth of trivalent carbon compounds he had in hand before the proposition of the radical and corresponding cation thereafter. This presentation gives a counterfactual history.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hatcher Halloween Presents: Study Break of the Unknown Tome
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to an autumnal break from hard facts. Instead\, try a rock fact. Come for the Washtenaw Dairy cider & donuts\, but stay for the pumpkin decorating (please reserve a pumpkin: https://myumi.ch/NXxEQ)\, lantern crafting\, rock facts\, potatoes\, and molasses! 🎃\n\nThere will be dips from El Harissa and costume prizes. An ambient animated folk-horror series will play in the background while you craft\, and we welcome you to dive into the unknown with more folk-horror recommendations from the library.\n\nThis event is funded by gifts to U-M Library’s Giving Tuesday campaign for student well-being.
