SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Internship Lab
DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend. Click \"Join Event\" here:https://umich.joinhandshake.com/edu/events/1894109Are you ready to start searching for a great internship? Do you have a few ideas\, but you’re not sure where to get started? Let's talk about search strategy!! Get real-time\, personalized support by checking out the in person Internship Lab. You’ll be guided by one of our Career Coaches who hasdesigned this experience to provide you strategies\, tools\, and motivation to get on the right track with searching for internships. Chat with folks from the University Career Center to explore Handshake\,the University Career Alumni Network (UCAN) and to learn about other tools you can use to build a great job/internship search strategy. **If you're not sure what you're interested in\, consider making an \"Exploring Major/Career Option\" appointment to get started clarifying your interests with a career coach in a 1-on-1 setting. Recent Grads: If you are an alumni\, you will not be able to access the link due the University’s policy of discontinuing alumni Zoom accounts 30 days after graduation. Please contact careercenter@umich.edu with the subject line“Recent Grad Help” to receive either a recording of the session or tobe set up with a 1:1.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Random walks on the chambers of a hyperplane arrangement (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Consider a real hyperplane arrangement and let C denote the collection of the occuring chambers. Bidigare\, Hanlon and Rockmore introduced a Markov chain on C which is a natural generalization of famous card shuffling models used in computer science\, biology and card games. In this talk\, we will discuss the mixing time of these walks with respect to the separation distance\, with a special focus on lower bounds. I will try to explain both the geometric and the probabilistic techniques used in the problem.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Optimal scalar and vector transport using branching flows
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We are interested in the design of forcing in the Navier–Stokes equation such that the resultant flow maximizes the heat transfer between two differentially heated walls for a given power supply budget. Previous work established that heat transport cannot scale faster than 1/3-power of the power supply. We present a novel construction of three dimensional \"branching pipe flows\" for which we show the sharpness of the upper bound. After carefully examining these designs\, we extract the underlying physical mechanism that makes the branching flows \"efficient\,\" based on which we present a design of mechanical apparatus that\, in principle\, can achieve the best possible case scenario of heat transfer. In the latter part of the talk\, we extend this approach to transport of a divergence-free vector. We present branching flow designs that achieve a momentum transport scaling (in Reynolds number) that aligns precisely with that of turbulent flow in a channel.\n\nContact:  Ian Tobasco

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The String Landscape\, precisely
DESCRIPTION:Compactifications of higher dimensional string theories offer perhaps the most promising ``top-down’’ path toward realistic models of our universe. In the way stands the notorious difficulty of computing the 4d effective action beyond tree level\, and a lack of concrete embeddings of Standard Model-like physics with a sufficiently long lived vacuum. In this talk\, after reviewing the current status of such compactifications (the “string landscape”)\, I will present recent and ongoing works aimed at these problems. Concretely\, I will discuss work on string dualities that can be used as a tool to evaluate certain quantum corrections in flux compactifications\, as well as upcoming work featuring new ensembles of top-down Standard Model constructions using type IIB string theory. Finally\, I’ll report on progress in evaluating the classical superpotential in type IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds.\n\nBased on works with Federico Compagnin\, Jim Halverson\, Björn Hassfeld\, and Elijah Sheridan

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: The Circle Method
DESCRIPTION:How many ways can we write a natural number as the sum of five integer squares? We show how to answer this question with the circle method. Then\, we explain an algebraic geometry version of the circle method that Browning and Vishe used to find the dimension of some moduli spaces parameterizing rational curves of fixed degree on smooth hypersurfaces.
