SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Extreme waves and large deviations for 2D pure gravity deep water waves
DESCRIPTION:We study the formation of extreme waves from a statistical viewpoint in the context of the pure gravity water wave equations in deep water. We quantify their probability under random Gaussian sea initial data up to the optimal timescales allowed by deterministic wellposedness theory. The proof shows that rogue waves most likely arise through \"dispersive focusing\"\, where phase synchronization produces constructive amplification of the water crest.\nThe main difficulty in justifying this mechanism is propagating statistical information over such long timescales\, which we overcome by combining normal forms and probabilistic methods. Unlike previous results\, this new approach does not require approximate solutions to be Gaussian. Joint work with M. Berti\, A. Maspero and G. Staffilani.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry Seminar:  Superrigidity of rich representations
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the class of geodesically rich representations. These are representations of (real or complex) hyperbolic lattices that preserve a significant amount of the geometric structure of the associated quotient manifold. When the quotient manifold has robust geometric structure\, these representations exhibit rigidity phenomena. In particular\, a recent superrigidity theorem for rich representations was used to prove that finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with infinitely many maximal totally geodesic submanifolds are arithmetic (Bader-Fisher-Miller-Stover). I will discuss a new superrigidity theorem for rich representations that efficiently recovers existing results and addresses target groups that were previously inaccessible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When the Ocean Aerosolizes Pollution: Chemistry of the Products We Breathe
DESCRIPTION:Emerging atmospheric particulates—including micro- and nanoplastics\, engineered nanoparticles\, and chemicals used in consumer and industrial products—are increasingly detected in marine environments. My group combines field measurements with laboratory studies to elucidate the emissions\, enrichment\, molecular composition\, and multiphase chemical transformations of these particulates in sea spray aerosol (SSA). We investigate how particle matrix\, interfacial composition\, and phase state control reaction pathways and kinetics.\n\nFieldwork along the San Diego coastline reveals elevated concentrations of wastewater-derived contaminants in SSA associated with the Tijuana River\, with phthalate esters showing strong and chain-length-dependent enrichment. Complementary aerosol flow-tube and online mass spectrometry experiments probe the photo-initiated and heterogeneous oxidation of representative consumer-product compounds. We find that oxybenzone\, triclosan\, and bisphenol A undergo accelerated oxidation in SSA mimics—especially in the presence of salts and photosensitizers—forming higher yields of and more toxic particle-phase transformation products.\n\nTogether\, this work demonstrates how marine aerosols act as chemically active microreactors\, where multiphase kinetics and physicochemical properties govern the fate and transformation of particulates of emerging concern.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Artist Talk: Rick Lowe - In Spite Of
DESCRIPTION:Artist Rick Lowe will discuss his artistic practice and his last two years working with students and researchers at U-M in preparation for an upcoming exhibition at UMMA\, Black Wall Street Journey\, opening in August 2026.\n\nRick Lowe is an American artist who pairs paintings\, drawings\, and installations with collaborative\, community-based projects developed in the tradition of Joseph Beuys’s concept of “social sculpture.”\n\nWorking closely with individuals and communities\, he has identified many ways to harness creativity to address concerns around equity and justice. Beginning with his co-founding of Project Row Houses (1993–2008) in Houston’s Third Ward and continuing through other initiatives across the United States and internationally\, Lowe aims to catalyze sustainable change to promote understanding\, equity\, and justice. For the last two years\, Lowe has been working as part of the U-M Arts Initiative’s Creators on Campus program as artist in residence with the Institute for Social Research (ISR).\n\nFree and open to the public\, no registration required.
