SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899:  Kapil Chalil Madathil
DESCRIPTION:As work\, healthcare\, and decision-making increasingly occur across distance\, physical separation is often assumed to degrade performance. Research in human-centered systems design reveals a more nuanced reality: performance often survives distance\, but the hidden costs shift to workload\, and coordination. This talk examines how the design of collaborative systems determines whether distance becomes manageable or dangerous. Drawing on two decades of research spanning remote collaboration\, immersive virtual environments\, telemedicine-enabled stroke care\, and human-AI teaming in high-risk settings\, the talk shows how redesigning systems\, rather than pushing people harder\, can dramatically improve outcomes. The talk argues that the future of distributed work and intelligent systems will be defined by seamlessly integrated\, intelligently designed human–machine partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series -  From Market Signals to Maintenance Decisions: Electricity Price Forecasting and Market-Aware Maintenance for Energy Assets
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOperational decision-making in modern power systems is increasingly shaped by uncertain market signals\, such as electricity prices and curtailment levels. In this talk\, I will present our research group’s recent efforts to develop data- driven methods for forecasting these signals\, and further leveraging them to inform asset-level decision-making. First\, I will present a multivariate statistical approach for electricity price forecasting designed to capture system\, market\, and temporal dependencies that are prevalent in electricity price signals. The proposed approach is evaluated on two years of electricity prices from the California Independent System Operator\, showing significant improvements in both point and probabilistic forecast metrics relative to well-established statistical and emerging deep learning methods. Independent validation against industry-adopted forecasting systems further demonstrates the approach’s competitive performance and practical relevance. I then turn to how variability in market signals (naturally viewed as a challenge for asset management) can\, counter-intuitively\, be turned into an opportunity for improved decision-making. In particular\, I will present a grid- informed maintenance optimization framework for wind energy assets that incorporates grid- level information\, such as electricity prices and curtailment\, to support condition-based maintenance decisions. Together\, these results highlight how market signals can be accurately predicted\, and further leveraged to inform asset management\, bridging forecasting and optimization in modern power systems.\n\nBiography:\nAziz Ezzat is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Rutgers University\, where he leads the Renewables & Industrial Analytics (RIA) Research Group.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Coastal Areas and Their Communities
DESCRIPTION:On this Third Thursday of Earth Month\, come explore lakes and coastal areas around the world and the communities that have developed alongside them. Through materials in the International Studies Collection\, learn about the issues faced by both the people and the bodies of water themselves\, and the efforts to keep them thriving.\n\nWater touches many aspects of our lives. From the visible — nourishing our bodies\, cleaning our clothes and dishes — to the less visible — creating electricity and cooling our homes and information systems. Water is an integral part of the living experience on Earth.\n\nJoin us for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.\n\nWhile you’re here\, pick up a Third Thursdays Passport and collect a stamp! Make it around to all four Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library\, International Studies\, Asia Library\, and the Special Collections Research Center — and win a poster!
