SUMMARY:Presentation:NERS Colloquium: Fusion at Columbia: Systems Design\, Industry Engagement\, and Fusion Technology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nCulminating in the recently announced launch of the Columbia Fusion Research Center\, Fusion at Columbia has been expanding into new directions and with new partners. This presentation will discuss a mix of fundamental research carried out at Columbia\, sponsored by the federal government\, and research in support of the growing private fusion sector\, sponsored directly by industry. Technical topics to be discussed will be in the area fusion systems design\, applied plasma physics in support of fusion industry\, and new initiatives in fusion technology applied to magnets\, blankets\, and fuel cycles. The role of partnerships will be emphasized\, whether in collaboration with industry\, national laboratories\, or international partners.\n\n\nBio:\nCarlos Paz-Soldan is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics and Director of the Fusion Research Center at Columbia University in the City of New York. He received his B.Sc.E degree in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University at Kingston in 2007 and his Ph.D degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012. After his Ph.D he worked as a scientist at General Atomics in San Diego until he was appointed with tenure to Columbia in 2021. Prof. Paz-Soldan’s activities are motivated by the desire to solve the scientific and technological challenges standing in the way of harnessing controlled fusion energy on earth. He has contributed particularly to developing solutions for transient off-normal event control in magnetic fusion devices. Prof. Paz-Soldan is the recipient of the Marshall N. Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize in 2013 and the Thomas H. Stix Award for Outstanding Early Career Contributions to Plasma Physics Research in 2021\, both from the American Physical Society. He became an APS fellow in 2024.\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:A Conversation with Matt Rothman of Disney & ESPN
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in exploring where a career in Media can take you? Join us for an informal virtual presentation and conversation with LSA Alum and ESPN Corporate Strategist\, Matt Rothman! During this event\, Matt will discuss his journey from LSA student to being a corporate strategist for the industry leader in sports entertainment. After a brief presentation\, we will open up a conversational Q&A where you will be able to answer questions about Matt's journey\, what it's like to work for a major media organization\, and industry wisdom that can only come from years of experience in the field.\n\nAbout Matt in his own words:\n\"I've spent my career at the intersection of sports\, media\, and strategy\, doing the kind of work where the stakes are high and the answers aren't obvious.\n\nAt ESPN\, that meant building the models behind major live rights negotiations\, helping launch the company's first branded sports betting partnership and leading a cross-company effort to rethink how we grow and engage the next generation of sports fans. It's the work I've found most energizing: complex\, consequential and often without a clear playbook.\n\nMy background spans both sides of the analytical and strategic divide\, starting in research and analytics before moving into corporate strategy\, which means I'm as comfortable in the data as I am in the boardroom. I've advised C-suite leaders\, built frameworks that shaped nine-figure deals and worked across content\, product\, finance\, distribution and beyond to drive decisions with lasting impact.\"
