SUMMARY:Presentation:2026 Ford Motor Company Distinguished Lecture in Physics | Organic Semiconductors – From OLED displays to new applications
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Abstract: Organic molecules with semiconducting properties are now used as the light-emitting diodes\, LEDs\, in organic LEDdisplays. These are now the dominant technologies for high-performance displays used in smartphones and televisions\, but their potential applications are far broader\, from solar cells to printable electronics to bio-interfaces. I will describe some of the journey from early discoveries to practical display technology\, and outline some of our current research on the new phenomena these materials can exhibit\, including their use as optically-accessed quantum sensors.\n\nFind out more about Professor Richard Friend by visiting our Ford Lecture event page at https://myumi.ch/g35nR.\n\nThis lecture will be held in person and livestreamed: https://youtu.be/P6lg1HTqkW8

SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours 
DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up? Need help fixing a flat or getting your gears to shift smoothly? \nCome to the FREE Wolverines on Wheels Bike Repair Hours on Wednesdays from 4-6p and Fridays from 3:30-5p.\nSign up for a 30-minute slot and your bike to the Duderstadt Fabrication Underground (B430-Lower Level) for peer-to-peer bike repair and maintenance. Our volunteers can help you diagnosis bike problems\, guide you through repairs\, and provide the tools & materials needed to get you back to riding. \nThis is NOT a drop-off service: ALL participants are expected to stay and participate in repairs to learn basic bike maintenance with the support of our volunteers. Expect to get your hands dirty and leave feeling more confident in your skills!\nOnly one bike per participant. You may sign up for multiple slots in a row but please be mindful of sharing the opportunity with other campus riders. Walk-ins are welcome but come secondary to sign-ups. \nIf you are interested in becoming a volunteer for our new program\, please email wolverinesonwheels-admin@umich.edu\nThe Duderstadt Fabrication Underground's Bike Repair rack is available for use during all operation hours (M-F 12-6p). WoW Volunteers will only be there at our dedicated support hours with additional materials (tire patches\, grease\, etc). \nhttps://calendly.com/wolverinesonwheels-admin-umich/30min

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Outperforming a Benchmark with $\alpha$-Bregman Wasserstein divergence
DESCRIPTION:We consider the problem of active portfolio management\, where an investor seeks the portfolio with maximal expected utility of the difference between the terminal wealth of their strategy and a proportion of the benchmark's\, subject to a budget\, and a deviation constraint from the benchmark portfolio.\nAs the investor aims at outperforming the benchmark\, they choose a divergence that asymmetrically penalises gains and losses as well as penalises underperforming the benchmark more than outperforming it. This is achieved by the recently introduced $\alpha$-Bregman-Wasserstein divergence\, subsuming the Bregman-Wasserstein and the popular Wasserstein divergence. We prove existence and uniqueness\, characterise the optimal portfolio strategy\, and give explicit criteria when the divergence constraints and the budget constraints are binding. We conclude with a numerical illustration of the optimal quantile function in a geometric Brownian motion market model.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Modeling effects of seasonal light variations on the sleep patterns of young children
DESCRIPTION:Sleep disturbances\, particularly nighttime waking\, are highly prevalent in young children and can significantly disrupt not only the child’s well-being but also family functioning. Behavioral and environmental strategies\, including the regulation of light exposure\, are typically recommended treatments for nighttime waking. Using the Homeostatic-Circadian-Light (HCL) mathematical model for sleep timing based on the interaction of the circadian rhythm\, the homeostatic sleep drive and external light\, we analyze how external light schedules can influence the occurrence of nighttime waking in young children. We fit the model to data for sleep homeostasis and sleep behavior in 2 - 3.5 year olds and identified subsets of parameter ranges that fit the data but indicated a susceptibility to nighttime waking. This suggests that as children develop they may exhibit more or less propensity to awaken during the night. Notably\, parameter sets exhibiting earlier sleep timing were more susceptible to nighttime waking. For a model parameter set susceptible to\, but not exhibiting\, nighttime waking\, we analyze how external light schedules affect sleep patterns. We find that low daytime light levels can induce nighttime sleep disruptions and extended bright-light exposure also promotes nighttime waking. Further results suggest that consistent daily routines are essential\; irregular schedules\, particularly during weekends\, markedly worsen the consolidation of nighttime sleep. Specifically\, weekend delays in morning lights-on and evening lights-off times result in nighttime sleep disruptions and can influence sleep timing during the week. These results highlight how external light\, daily rhythms\, and parenting routines interact to shape childrens’ sleep health\, providing a useful framework for improving sleep management practices.
