SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AI Clinic Lab | Navigating Technological Shifts: Build\, Adapt\, and Drive the Next Era of Tech (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AMA with Tarun Bhatnagar\n\nWe strongly encourage local attendees to attend in-person.\n\n---------\n\nTechnological disruption isn't new—and historically\, every major inflection point has opened up bigger opportunities for technology and information students. Join University of Michigan Computer Engineering alum and Chicago Booth MBA product leader for an honest conversation on navigating career shifts in a changing landscape. Drawing from three decades of building global platforms—from scaling Google Maps to launching modern FinTech infrastructure—he’ll break down how information roles are moving toward versatile generalists\, why sharp critical thinking and resilience matter more than any single tool\, and where the most exciting new roles are emerging. Bring your questions on product strategy\, technological disruption\, and what it takes to persevere through industry change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Bioinformatics Seminar Series featuring Luis Zaman\, PhD (Assistant Professor of Complex Systems and  EEB\, U-M)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Luis Zaman’s research spans several disciplines to answer fundamental questions about how evolution works. While he often approaches questions from an experimentalist’s perspective\, work in his lab relies on a mixture of computational\, mathematical\, and microbial systems. He is predominantly drawn to understanding host-parasite coevolution because the constant push-and-pull of antagonistic interactions emphasizes the dynamic and interdependent nature of biological evolution. These antagonistic interactions have been implicated in large-scale evolutionary patterns\, such as diversification\, sexual reproduction\, and increasing organismal complexity. How coevolution is further influenced by such large-scale patterns presents problems that orient the lab’s long-term goals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exponential Rank Bounds for Random Matrices
DESCRIPTION:A basic question in random matrix theory is how likely a matrix is to have a large rank. For many classical models\, this probability decays extremely quickly\, but the strongest results often rely on the entries being identically distributed. In this talk\, I will discuss how to obtain the same exponential scale for matrices with fully independent\, non-identically distributed entries under only a uniform anti-concentration assumption and explain the main ideas that make this possible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Kullback–Leibler Mirror-Prox for Measure-Valued Variational Inequalities and Mean-Field Equilibria
DESCRIPTION:We study the computation of static mean-field equilibria on a compact state space by formu-\nlating the equilibrium condition as a variational inequality over probability measures. We propose\nan entropic variant of Korpelevich’s extragradient algorithm—the Kullback–Leibler Mirror-Prox\nmethod—in which Euclidean projections are replaced by relative-entropy proximal steps. Each\nhalf-step is therefore an explicit exponential reweighting of the current measure\, implemented on a\nfinite state-space discretization. Under Lasry–Lions monotonicity and continuity assumptions\, we\nprove convergence of mesh-refined ergodic averages and obtain finite-iteration Minty-residual and\napproximate-equilibrium bounds that jointly quantify iteration and discretization errors. Under\nstrong monotonicity\, we derive metric convergence rates for the last\, best\, and averaged iterates.\nWe also develop a KL-type Tikhonov regularization that selects the equilibrium minimizing relative\nentropy with respect to a reference measure. The framework applies to potential and nonpotential\ncost operators and does not require differentiability or convexity of the cost in the individual state.\n\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar\, Ibrahim Ekren and Lu Vy.
