SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Accelerating Computational Molecular Design for the f-Elements
DESCRIPTION:The f-elements\, including lanthanides and actinides\, play critical roles in energy technologies\, medicine\, and emerging quantum computing applications\, yet remain comparatively under-explored in computational chemistry compared to main block elements. This seminar will introduce Architector\, a software package released in 2023 that enables the generation of molecular structures across the periodic table\, with particular capabilities for f-element coordination complexes. Applications range from generating datasets for machine-learned interatomic potentials to investigating specific chemical systems. Examples in rare-earth extraction and medical isotope chelation will illustrate how these capabilities can accelerate computational molecular design and address challenges in f-element chemistry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Arts Research Funding + Collaboration for Graduate Students Info Session (GSARG and FEAST)
DESCRIPTION:Thinking about getting involved in arts research at the University of Michigan? Join the University of Michigan Arts Initiative for a virtual open house to learn about two opportunities for students across campus: the Graduate Student Arts Research Grant (GSARG) and FEAST (Faculty Engineering/Arts Student Teams).\n\nGSARG provides grants of up to $3\,000 to support graduate student-led research projects that incorporate artistic practices\, methods\, or approaches. Open to graduate students across U-M\, the program supports innovative and interdisciplinary research that integrates the arts into scholarship and inquiry. \n\nLearn more about the program and past awarded projects here: https://arts.umich.edu/gsarg\n\nFEAST brings together faculty and students from different disciplines to collaborate on faculty-led arts research projects. Undergraduate and graduate students join interdisciplinary research teams\, contribute their own skills and perspectives to an ongoing project\, and earn course credit for their participation. FEAST is designed to create opportunities for students to engage directly in collaborative arts research while working across disciplinary boundaries. \n\nLearn more about the program and current projects recruiting here: https://arts.umich.edu/feast\n\nDuring this informal session\, we’ll introduce both programs\, explain eligibility and how to apply or get involved\, review key deadlines\, and share examples of the kinds of projects each program supports. You’ll also have plenty of time to ask questions and determine which opportunity might be the right fit for your interests.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Can Israelis and Palestinians Talk Through Poetry?
DESCRIPTION:This conversation\, part of the Samantha Woll Dialogues\, brings together two writers\, Almog Behar and Ayat Abou Shmeiss\, both of whom use the language of poetry to explore their own identities: Jerusalem-born Behar looks to his family roots in Iraq and Turkey to advocate for the restoration of Arabic to its place in Jewish culture\, and Jaffa-born Abou Shmeiss expresses her dual identity as a Muslim-Palestinian and as an Israeli citizen in her award-winning poetry and human rights advocacy. The panel will be moderated by Raoul Wallenberg Institute Fellow Stephanie Kraver\, a scholar of modern Arabic and Hebrew literature who specializes in transcultural exchange\, expressions of mourning\, trauma theory\, and translation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Witnessing Quantum Entanglement in Solid-State Materials
DESCRIPTION:The rapidly developing field of quantum materials calls for increasingly precise methods to characterize and control entanglement. While foundational progress was first achieved in quantum optics and few-body quantum simulators\, extending these ideas to complex many-body states in correlated materials remains a major challenge. In this talk\, I will introduce the entanglement-witness framework as a practical route for characterizing entanglement through experimentally accessible solid-state measurements. I will begin with the Bell test and discuss how its underlying logic can be generalized to entanglement witnesses in material systems. Recent examples include the detection of spin entanglement in quantum magnets using neutron scattering and spin-orbital entanglement using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. These approaches can also be extended to nonequilibrium settings\, opening opportunities to manipulate entanglement with light. In the second half of the talk\, I will move beyond distinguishable local degrees of freedom and consider entanglement among indistinguishable fermions. This motivates a generalized framework for multipartite electronic entanglement based on the cumulant reduced density matrix and nonlinear spectroscopic responses. With this strategy\, we can further connect transport-noise measurements in cryogenic materials to an electronic entanglement metric\, enabling the certification of entanglement in the fractional Chern insulating state of twisted MoTe2.\n\nBio: Yao Wang is an associate professor in Emory University. He received bachelor's degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2011 and Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 2017. After that\, he worked at Harvard University as an MPHQ postdoctoral fellow. In 2020\, he started his independent career as an assistant professor at Clemson University and then the College of Science Dean's assistant professor. He moved his group to Emory University in August 2023 and obtained tenure in 2026. His research interests lie in the theoretical and computational study of quantum many-body problems and their experimental correspondence in solid-state materials and quantum science. He was the recipient of the DOE early career award\, AFOSR young investigator award\, and the Scialog fellow.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Premodern Colloquium Presents: Bona Sforza of Aragon. Between the Habbsurgs and the Jagiellonians.
DESCRIPTION:The Premodern Colloquium presents visiting scholar Matylda Urjasz-Raczko for our first event of the 2026-2027 academic year. On Tuesday\, October 6th\, Matylda will give a presentation which examines the figure of Bona Sforza of Aragon (1494-1557)\, Queen of Poland\, Grand Duchess of Lithuania\, Princess of Bari\, Rssano in the Kingdom of Naples\, and heir to the Duchy of Mila and the Kingdom of Jerusalen. It is thought not as a gender biography. Her figure and life serve as a case study to illustrate the processes taking place in the Mediterranean world and in northern and eastern Europe in the time just before the Habsburg domination in the mid-16th century. The focus is therefore on the time and places where Bona came to rule. It serves as a lens that focuses various problems related to the formation of a new balance of power and a shape of the future Europe.\n\nIf you plan to attend\, please RSVP using the form below so as to receive a copy of the presentation's supporting materials.\n\nhttps://forms.gle/GbdkbREnYNGKwFKV9
