SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Low-Energy Physics in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber Neutrino Detectors
DESCRIPTION:Liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors have become the global technology of choice for performing neutrino flavor oscillation measurements with accelerator neutrino beams.  The millimeter-precision 3D images these detectors produce contain meters-long tracks and showers generated by neutrino interaction products\, as well as mm-scale blips generated by isolated MeV-scale energy depositions.  While GeV track and shower features have been extensively leveraged for oscillation and neutrino-nucleus cross-section measurements\, MeV-scale blip features are comparatively under-studied\, despite their ability to uniquely access a range of physics and astrophysics signatures.  In this talk\, I will overview the physics benefits of MeV-scale reconstruction in neutrino LArTPCs\, including solar and supernova neutrino burst detection\, improved particle identification and hadronic calorimetry for beam neutrino measurements\, and more.  I will also present work performed by the LArTPC-focused Littlejohn Neutrino research Group experiment at IIT that has created new low-energy LArTPC reconstruction tools\, demonstrated new MeV-scale LArTPC physics capabilities\, and performed new particle physics measurements relying on these new techniques.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Sarah Abboud)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430.\n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded\, but as permissions allow\, interviews with speakers are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan Coffee Talk: Future Proofing the Great Lakes Compact and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This Coffee Talk will bring together scholars and practitioners to explore the future of the Great Lakes Compact and the broader governance systems that support transboundary freshwater management in an era of accelerating climate\, ecological\, and social change. As pressures on water resources intensify—from shifting precipitation patterns and lake level variability to growing demands from communities\, agriculture\, industry\, and ecosystems—the resilience of existing governance frameworks is increasingly being tested.\n\nThe conversation will examine how institutions such as the Great Lakes Compact\, along with binational and regional organizations\, can be “future-proofed” to remain adaptive\, equitable\, and scientifically informed under deep uncertainty. Together\, the panel will reflect on what it means to design water governance systems that are not only robust in the present\, but flexible enough to endure—and evolve with—the uncertainties of the future Great Lakes region and beyond. \n\nYou can register for the Coffee Talk on the Water@Michigan Coffee Talks webpage: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks\n\nAbout the speakers: \nModerator: Andrew Gronewold\, Associate Professor SEAS and PI for the Global Center for Climate Change and Transboundary Waters\nPanelists: David Naftzger\, Executive Director\, Great Lakes Governors and Premiers\; Peter Johnson\, Deputy Director\, Great Lakes Governors and Premiers\; Marc Gaden\, Adjunct Professor\, SEAS and Executive Secretary\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission and Vianey Rueda\, PhD Candidate\, SEAS

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hierarchical Block Copolymers for Theranostic Nanomedicine
DESCRIPTION:Nanoparticles derived from amphiphilic hybrid block copolymers (HBCs) have been recognized as promising candidates for a range of applications\, including bioimaging\, therapeutic delivery\, and diagnostics. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures\, these unique polymer frameworks exhibit properties that surpass those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. However\, a lack of synthetic feasibility has hindered the widespread adoption of amphiphilic HBCs due to challenges posed by the distinct solubility of the blocks\, the steric effects of the branched block on copolymerization and purification of end products\, and the difficulty of preparing amphiphilic HBCs. Herein\, we report the use of aqueous reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to form amphiphilic HBCs and assess their potential as biomaterials for theranostic applications. Comprised of chemically distinct blocks with differing architectures (i.e.\, dendritic and grafted/linear)\, these unique polymer frameworks were strategically designed to self-assemble into nanoparticles ideal for simultaneous bioimaging and therapy. The synthesis\, physicochemical characterization\, and in vitro cell viability of a library of dendritic HBCs and their resulting nanoparticles are discussed. Microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses support the formation of aqueous dispersions\, yielding polymeric nanoparticles with sizes < 120 nm. The resulting polymer hybrids and their nanoparticles exhibited minimal cell toxicity and dual imaging and therapeutic potential. Results indicate that these polymers and their nanoparticles exhibit properties surpassing those of conventional amphiphilic polymers. This study exemplifies the effect of polymer topology on nanomaterial properties and expands the design space of RAFT polymerization in biomedical research.
