SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Alumni of the Year Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the seminar featuring Dr. Jhoon Kim\, the Alumni of the Year for the U-M Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering. The talk will be followed by a reception. All are welcome to attend!\n\nWe are proud to present our Alumni of the Year Award to Professor Jhoon Kim. \n\nProfessor Jhoon Kim is a Yonsei Lee Youn Jae Fellow\, a Fellow of Korean Academy of Science and Technology\, and a professor of atmospheric science at Yonsei University in Seoul\, South Korea. \n\nHe has worked on the remote sensing algorithm development of aerosol and trace gases to monitor their regional distribution. He is a P.I. of the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS)\, the first instrument for air quality monitoring from GEO at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. He developed sophisticated aerosol algorithm for GOCI\, AHI\, AGRI\, and AMI\, with machine learning and data fusion for better accuracy and coverage based on big data science. He has also worked on CO2 remote sensing using GOSAT and OCO series.\n\nHe earned a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Space Sciences (now U-M Climate and Space) in 1991 at the University of Michigan College of Engineering\, after earning an M.S. in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Michigan College of Engineering in 1987. He earned his B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences at the College of Natural Sciences\, Seoul National University\, Seoul National University in 1986.\n\nHe is a member of the Committee on Earth Observing Satellites (CEOS) AC-VC\, through which he has worked to establish coordinated global observation of air quality using GEO constellation. He is also a member of International Radiation Commission (IRC)\, WMO GURME Science Advisory Group (SAG)\, and WHO Global Platform for Air Quality and Health. He serves a guest editor for the Atmospheric Measurement Technique and Environmental Research Letter. He is also a member of the Science and Technology Committee and the National Council on Climate and Air Quality (NCCA) of Korea.\n\nAbstract:\nSatellite Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Composition from Geostationary Earth Orbit over Asia – My journey from planetary to Earth atmosphere\n\nFeaturing Dr. Jhoon Kim\, Lee Youn Jae Fellow Professor of Atmospheric Sciences\, Yonsei University\, Seoul\, Korea\n\nAtmospheric composition including aerosols\, ozone\, air pollutants\, and greenhouse gases have been observed extensively from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) providing one to two observations per day. Meteorological satellites have provided aerosol optical properties from both LEO and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) for extended period. Geostationary Ocean Color Imager 2 (GOCI-II) and Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI) have provided aerosol dataset from the same GK-2 platform. With the recent launch of the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) onboard the GK-2B in 2020\, we now can observe both aerosols and trace gases at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution from GEO. GEMS\, the first ultraviolet-visible hyperspectral instrument for air quality observation from GEO has provided column amounts of atmospheric pollutants (O3\, NO2\, SO2\, HCHO\, CHOCHO\, and aerosols) every hour to capture their diurnal variations. Details of the GEMS data products are presented\, with validations\, and case studies of volcanic eruption\, dust\, wildfire\, urban pollution\, and industrial activities. In version 3\, there are noticeable improvements in trace gases from updated AMF\, fitting window\, the separation of stratospheric/tropospheric components etc. Calibration/validation activities are critical to diagnose and improve the overall data quality including the ASIA-AQ\, Pandora Asia network (PAN)\, PEGASOS\, GMAP/SIJAQ\, ACCLIP\, and international CAL/VAL team works. The GEMS retrievals indicate good agreements from the validation campaigns\, but still require further improvements in L1 processing as well. Faster sampling rates at higher spatial resolution from GEO increase the probability of finding cloud-free pixels\, leading to more observations of aerosols and trace gases than have been possible from LEO. GEMS will form the GEO AQ satellite constellation with the NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) launched in 2023 and planned ESA’s Sentinel-4 in 2025\, as recognized by the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nDeep brain stimulation (DBS) has become standard therapy for medically refractory patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD)\, essential tremor (ET)\, and other neurological disorders. The two main challenges for DBS standard-of-care are rooted in the accurate positioning of the DBS leads during intraoperative implantation and the postoperative programming of the implanted DBS device\, both needed to achieve the sought optimal therapeutic benefit. However\, both processes rely on subjective patient exams\, on expert neurophysiologists to optimize implant trajectory and programming\, and on time-consuming trial-and-error approaches. Furthermore\, existing commercially available stimulation approaches (continuous stimulation\, also known as open-loop stimulation) lack integration with patient behavior and environmental factors. We sought to address these shortcomings in the ET population\, by demonstrating the feasibility of on-demand responsive stimulation using only thalamocortical neuromarkers that modulate movement related-behavior. This led to the design and implementation of the first fully embedded closed-loop algorithm for chronic neurostimulators (CL-DBS) in humans affected by ET\, which achieved an equally effective treatment compared to current DBS approaches while having a more efficient stimulation energy profile. Furthermore\, CL-DBS demonstrated potential in decreasing DBS-related side effects (e.g. speech impairments). Additionally\, the unique window provided by intraoperative acute recordings\, allowed us to further our understanding of the thalamocortical network. We sought to improve intraoperative DBS implantation for the PD population by leveraging a novel biomarker\, DBS local evoked potential (DLEP)\, which strongly correlates with the location of the typical target-subregions of the nuclei of interest\, the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi). Most importantly\, the proposed methodology requires no patient interaction and could be leveraged for implementing an objective\, real-time guided placement of the DBS lead\, with a less time-consuming process and subjectivity compared to traditional mapping procedures.\n\nBio:\nDr. Enrico Opri is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan within the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is a core faculty within the Biointerfaces Institute and he is affiliated with the Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI). His lab focuses on understanding how stimulation can alter neural circuits affected in neurological disorders\, with the overall goal to identify neurological markers that can be leveraged to improve and enhance current state of the art therapies within movement disorders. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering at University of Florida. Later he completed his postdoctoral training at Emory University.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:“Planetary Systems through Time”\n\nPlanets are not born in their final state. Young planets are sculpted by interactions with their host star\, other planets in the system\, and their greater environment. Large populations of mature (>1 Gyr) exoplanets\, like those from the Kepler mission\, provide useful but indirect constraints on the relative importance of such evolutionary processes. Because the first few hundred million years of a planet's life are the most formative\, studies of young (<1 Gyr) planets yield more direct information on exoplanet evolution\, providing an opportunity to observe such processes in action. Identifying and characterizing young planets poses significant challenges\, but the advent of K2 and TESS data\, coupled with new planet-search methods\, has enabled the discovery of dozens of transiting planets in 2–700 Myr clusters\, moving groups\, and star-forming regions. The statistical properties of these systems reveal that young planets are larger than their older counterparts and offer insights into the timescales of planetary migration. Furthermore\, with the aid of transmission spectroscopy from JWST\, we have our first glimpses into the atmospheres of these infant planets\, which have already provided a wealth of information regarding the structure and composition of a subset of the youngest planets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: A Different Shade of Freedom: Civil Rights\, Wide History\, and the Post-WWII Transformation of Black Conservatism in America
DESCRIPTION:Civil rights historians have advocated long perspectives linking the post-WWII movement to previous eras. Dillard makes the case for wide frameworks to conceptualize ideological tensions within the Black political culture that sustained movement activism. A wide history\, she contends\, has ample room for African American critics who occupied center-to-right ideological positions. In aspiring to wideness she provides an entangled history foregrounding Black conservatives within debates—not only about strategies for change but also over the meanings of belonging and home—that shaped the movement\, on the one hand\, and impacted the evolution of American conservatism\, on the other.\n\nAngela D. Dillard is the Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican & African Studies\, and History. She specializes in American intellectual history\, particularly around issues of race\, religion and politics — on both the Left and the Right sides of the political spectrum. A former chair of the UM Department of History she currently serves as the university’s inaugural vice provost for undergraduate education -- orchestrating strategic initiatives to enrich the academic experience of Michigan's 32\,000+ undergraduate students – and is completing her third book\, \"A Different Shade of Freedom.\"\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
