SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ukraine: Revolution\, War\, Documentary Photography\, and Immersive New Media
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nUkraine: Revolution\, War\, Documentary Photography\, and Immersive New Media will showcase the impact of Russia’s war against Ukraine as well as explore the distinctions between long-term documentary photography\, photojournalism\, and the innovative use of gaming technology to create documentary experiences in room-scale virtual reality.\n\nJoseph will share his extensive work\, including his coverage of the Euromaidan Revolution\, the Russo-Ukrainian War\, a photo documentary he began 25 years ago\, and his newest project Is the War Close?\, an immersive room-scale virtual reality documentary that places the user in a Kyiv home at night during a large Russian drone and missile attack. \n\nBio\nJoseph Sywenkyj is a long-form documentary and breaking news visual journalist working with lens based and immersive XR technology. He is a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal.\n\nJoseph is an American photographer of Ukrainian descent who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over 20 years. He is currently the Howard R. Marsh Visiting Professor of Journalism in the Department of Communication and Media at the University of Michigan. He was a 2024-2025 dual Knight-Wallace Fellow and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia Distinguished Fellow at the University of Michigan. Among his many awards\, he was the recipient of the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography and the Aftermath Project Grant. He received two Fulbright Awards\, one as a student and the other as a scholar.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Patterned Biomaterials: New Tools to Probe and Control Complex Biological Systems\n\nAbstract:\nEngineered materials and molecular sensing tools are transforming how we study and control complex biological systems. Yet many technologies operate at a single scale—either manipulating cellular environments without molecular precision or profiling molecular signals without spatial or mechanical context. My lab addresses this challenge through chemical and materials innovation\, developing scalable platforms that integrate molecular design with quantitative analysis. We focus on two complementary directions: (1) physico-chemical design of soft interfaces with tunable nanoscale architecture and dynamic mechanics to probe and control material–biology interactions\, and (2) biomolecular sensing platforms that combine polymer chemistry\, optical or electrochemical detection\, and data-driven analysis for accessible diagnostics. In this talk\, I will highlight two representative efforts: nature-inspired nanopatterned coatings with dynamically tunable surface topography for long-term antibacterial activity\, and integrated bioanalytical sensing technologies for early\, point-of-care detection of sepsis.  \n\nBio:\nDr. Jouha Min is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at University of Michigan. She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University in 2010 and her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from MIT\, where she was advised by Paula Hammond and Richard Braatz. She conducted her postdoctoral research with Ralph Weissleder at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital\, where she worked at the interface of engineering\, biology\, and clinical translation. Dr. Min’s research group applies core principles of chemical and biological engineering—including transport phenomena\, reaction kinetics\, materials synthesis\, and systems-level analysis—to develop new methodologies for probing and controlling material–biology interactions across three-dimensional space and time. Her work aims to establish a quantitative and mechanistic foundation for transformative advances in disease diagnosis\, treatment\, and prevention. She is the recipient of several honors\, including the NSF CAREER Award (2025)\, the NIH R35 MIRA Award (2025)\, and the V Foundation V Scholar Award (2023).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Canvas Accessibility for Panorama
DESCRIPTION:Join ITS-Accessibility for an engaging\, in-depth training session on using Panorama to enhance the accessibility of your Canvas course site. Panorama is a powerful accessibility tool integrated into Canvas that enables instructors and instructional support staff to create\, scan\, and fix digital content for accessibility directly within Canvas. In addition\, Panorama allows students to automatically generate alternative formats of Canvas content and attached files\, ensuring materials are accessible in the formats that work best for them. This training will provide practical guidance and step-by-step demonstrations to help you identify and resolve potential accessibility barriers\, making your Canvas course more inclusive and user-friendly for everyone.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Irene Lo
DESCRIPTION:Designing zones for school choice systems requires eliciting complex preferences and balancing multiple stakeholder objectives. We propose a stakeholder-in-the-loop framework for school zone generation that iterates between using optimization to generate zone boundaries for given preferences\, and allowing stakeholders to participate and learn their preferences by reacting to zones. To facilitate stakeholder participation\, we use LLMs to translate between natural language preferences and optimization constraints. To enable real-time use of our framework\, we develop faster computational approaches for the multi-school zoning problem using both math programming and sampling-based methods. Our framework produces zones with substantially improved diversity and proximity metrics relative to existing benchmarks\, while also generating individual-level preference representations that can be aggregated using standard social choice methods. Our approach has supported preliminary discussions about school zone boundaries in San Francisco and is generalizable to other redistricting contexts.\n\nDr. Irene Lo is an assistant professor in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University. Her research sits at the intersection of operations research\, computer science theory\, and economic theory. She designs markets and allocation systems that improve both efficiency and equity\, with applications in education\, the environment\, and the developing world. She leads a Stanford Impact Lab on Equitable Access to Education\, co-launched the ACM Conference series on Equity and Access in Algorithms\, Mechanisms\, and Optimization (EAAMO)\, and is a William T. Grant Scholar.
