SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Joining a Scholarly Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will address how reading skills and writing conventions allow you to ethically represent others’ knowledge and support your arguments. Participants will work with peers to talk through rhetorical decisions scholars make when identifying and responding to interlocutors and set goals of how to use the workshop experience in their own graduate writing careers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Powering the AI Future with Leadership Silicon
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping how we work\, live\, and interact with the entire physical world. This revolution is fundamentally fueled by semiconductor innovation—stretching from energy-efficient transistors to advanced integration technologies like CoWoS®\, 3D stacking\, and heterogeneous packaging. As power delivery\, memory access\, and high-speed signaling become critical bottlenecks to AI scaling\, next-generation solutions are emerging as vital pillars for system-level performance. At the foundational device level\, transistor scaling continues to drive performance – the industry is transitioning from FinFET to Nanosheets. Advanced 2.5D and 3D packaging transcend fundamental reticle limits with fine-pitch hybrid bonding and high-aspect-ratio TSVs. By enabling highly integrated\, heterogeneous chiplet architectures\, these packaging and integration innovations will deliver unprecedented memory bandwidth and energy efficiency. Overcoming the I/O power wall in next-generation AI fabrics requires Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) powered by advanced silicon photonics like COUPE (Compact Universal Photonic Engine). This new AI platform delivers ultra-low latency\, high-density connectivity\, and sub-pJ/bit energy efficiency essential for massive AI workloads. This talk will present state-of-the-art semiconductor platform technologies designed for AI applications\, while outlining the future opportunities and directions of the industry.\n\nBio: Dr. Kevin Zhang currently serves as Deputy Co-COO and Senior Vice President at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC)\, where he is responsible for the company-wide business strategy and global sales\, including technology roadmap and customer engagement. Before joining TSMC\, Dr. Zhang was Vice President of Technology and Manufacturing Group and Director of Circuit Technology at Intel. He was elected as Intel Fellow in 2005 and led his teams to win 5 Intel Achievement Awards\, the highest technical accomplishments in the company. Dr. Zhang has published more than 80 papers at international conferences and in technical journals. He holds 55 U.S. patents in the field of integrated circuit technology. He was the 2016 International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) Program chair and conference chair for 2021/2022 and currently serves on the Advisory Board of MIT Engineering School. Dr. Zhang is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He holds a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Duke University.\n\nLecture will be followed by a reception in the Masco Commons.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reflections from the Past\, Thoughts about the Future of Archaeology - Jeffrey R. Parsons Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Recovering information about the past\, learning from it\, and preserving these data and lessons for future generations is central to the archaeological enterprise. The past half century has seen a tremendous growth in archaeological research\, including the collection of vast and diverse data\, and dramatic shifts in the methods used to collect it and in the conceptual frameworks by which it is interpreted. Archaeology is needed more than ever\, as the extant record is increasingly being lost to forces like development\, climate change\, erosion\, and looting. This mandates careful consideration of how we are to proceed to save what we can\, combining collaborative and ethical frameworks in preservation and research. Our goals should always be ensuring broad and equitable inclusion in our endeavors\, and open access and iterative use of what has been found for research\, resource management\, and public education. Examples of how such work has and can proceed are examined\, from a perspective shaped primarily from work in the southeastern United States\, where the author has spent much of his career. In addition to site and locality specific research\, the nature and status of larger scale data compilation efforts are examined\, such as PIDBA (Paleoindian Database of the Americas) and DINAA (Digital Index of North American Archaeology). Primary lessons are that archaeology is a collaborative endeavor\, requiring the work of many parties\, and the maintenance of these communities\, and the information they generate\, in perpetuity\, is essential.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Cutting Costs or Cutting Corners: Asset Reallocation in Oil and Gas Production
DESCRIPTION:Cutting Costs or Cutting Corners: Asset Reallocation in Oil and Gas Production\nwith Sarah Armitage and Judson Boomhower\n\nAbstract:\nReallocation of assets across firms can lead to efficiency gains\, but it can also lead to distortions via rent-seeking. We examine the link between asset reallocation and rent-seeking enabled by differences in the expected cost of environmental liabilities. Focusing on the US oil and gas industry\, we develop a conceptual framework that incorporates both firm specialization in well types and the judgment-proof problem\, by which undercapitalized firms can avoid environmental liabilities. We then build a novel dataset with hundreds of thousands of well transfers over 1992 to 2023\, showing that oil and gas wells are transferred frequently\, particularly as they age and their revenues decline. Moreover\, low-value wells are especially likely to be transferred to low-value firms. Transferred wells produce similar amounts in later years\, but are less likely to be plugged -- thus posing greater environmental risk. We conclude with policy implications related to well plugging\, bonding requirements\, and decarbonization. \n\nBiography:\nCatie Hausman is a Professor in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She is an environmental and energy economist. Some of her recent areas of research include electricity transmission policy\; the natural gas sector's role in methane leaks\; the economic damages from climate change\; and inequality in pollution exposure.\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event
