SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Tomiko Yoneda
DESCRIPTION:Tomiko Yoneda\nUC Davis\nThe Company We Keep: The Importance of Social Connection for Mind\, Body\, and Health Across Contexts and Timescales\n\nApril 13\, 2026\n\nRobin Edelstein organizes the Winter 2026 RCGD Seminar Series: The Ties that Bond: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Social Connection.\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThis seminar series brings together senior and early-career scholars to explore fundamental questions about how we connect\, protect\, and care. Talks will highlight lifespan and comparative approaches to understanding social connection\, physiological implications of social and race-related stressors\, and diverse conceptualizations of what it means to belong—from romantic and parent–child relationships to group and societal dynamics to technology-mediated interactions.\n\nRobin Edelstein\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and an affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, has organized this series. She will introduce the series at this kick-off event that doubles as a faculty meeting.\n\nJoin us on Mondays to learn about the biological\, social\, and developmental pathways that shape human connection.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Robin Edelstein\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Realigning Incentives for a More Secure Internet Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mingyan Liu is receiving the T.C.Chang Professorship. Reception to immediately follow in the EECS Atrium.\n\nAbstract: \nMany of the cybersecurity issues facing the modern digital society can ultimately be traced to an array of misaligned incentives. For instance\, the vast majority of the cost of a data breach is not borne by the firm suffering the breach\, but by the users and consumers whose data were stolen\; similarly\, the harm caused by software problems is\, by and large\, shouldered by consumers\, not developers. Over the past decade\, an overarching goal of my research group has been to develop innovative data analytics methodologies and policy ideas to help realign these incentives. Within this context\, I will present our recent work in new approaches to quantifying cyber risk at an organizational level\, quantifying the social cost of data breaches\, and in developing mathematical models that capture the strategic interactions and decision making among parties driven by different incentives.\nBio: \nMingyan Liu is a leading expert in sequential decision and learning theory\, game theory and incentive mechanisms\, all within the context of large-scale networked systems and with applications to cybersecurity. Technologies she developed in this space have been successfully transitioned.  She co-founded the start-up company\, QuadMetrics\, Inc.\, commercializing predictive data analytics her team developed for cyber risk quantification that resulted in the first global enterprise cybersecurity ratings system\; it was acquired by the analytics software company Fair Isaac (FICO) in 2016.  This technology has been used for enterprise risk management\, vendor management\, cyber insurance underwriting\, and most recently\, in augmenting Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) ratings.  For this she received the “Crossing the Valley of Death” PI Excellence Award from the Department of Homeland Security in 2016.\nProf. Liu joined the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, in September 2000\, as an assistant professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.  She was the Peter and Evelyn Fuss Chair of ECE from 2018 to 2023\, and has been the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs since 2023.  She is the recipient of the 2002 NSF CAREER Award\, the University of Michigan Elizabeth C. Crosby Research Award in 2003 and 2014\, the 2010 EECS Department Outstanding Achievement Award\, the 2015 CoE Excellence in Education Award\, the 2017 CoE Excellence in Service Award\, and the 2018 Distinguished University Innovator Award.  She has received a number of Best Paper Awards and has served on the editorial boards of IEEE and ACM Transaction. She is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the ACM.\nProf. Liu received an MS degree in Systems Engineering and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland\, College Park\, in 1997 and 2000\, respectively.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Propagating congruences in the local Langlands program
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: I will describe recent work-in-progress with Tony Feng in which we compare the Fargues–Scholze local Langlands correspondence to Kaletha's local Langlands correspondence for non-singular tame supercuspidal representations. The main underlying theorem is an explicit special case of Langlands functoriality\, which we prove by leveraging Feng's recent results on \"modular functoriality\" several times.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Diaconis-Graham Inequalities and Links from Permutations
DESCRIPTION:In 1977\, Diaconis and Graham proved inequalities involving different permutation statistics that measure disarray of permutations. This talk will focus on a new proof of these inequalities by Cornwell and McNew from 2024 that uses links associated to permutations. In particular\, they prove the inequalities by expressing the Euler characteristic of these links in terms of the permutation statistics appearing in the inequalities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CCPS Lecture. East of the Atlantic. Black and White (But Not Quite)
DESCRIPTION:Oliwia Bosomtwe\, the author of *Jak biały człowiek* (2024) [Like a White Man]\, explores the stories of people of African descent who were born in Poland\, chose it as their homeland\, or passed through briefly\, and examines what it means to be Black in a predominantly white society\, surrounded by stereotypes\, fantasies\, and projections of Blackness.\n   \n   Oliwia Bosomtwe’s work focuses on the history of Polish engagements with Blackness and Sub-Saharan Africa. She writes\, moderates public discussions\, and occasionally curates exhibitions. A graduate of the Interdisciplinary Individual Studies in the Humanities at the University of Warsaw\, she is currently pursuing a PhD in sociology at SWPS University. Bosomtwe is the former editor-in-chief of the portal Noizz.pl\, and she also collaborates with the magazine Znak\, among others.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
