New and emerging technologies\, especially ones that infiltrate intimate spaces\, relations\, homes\, and bodies\, are often referred to as creepy in media and political discourses. The book introduces a feminist theory of creep\, substantiating it through critical engagement with smart homes\, smart dust\, smart desires\, and smart forests\, toward dreams of feminist futures. Contributing authors further illuminate what is otherwise obscured\, assumed\, or dismissed in characterizations of technology as creepy or creeping. Considering diverse technologies\, such as border surveillance and China’s credit system\, as well as sexcams and home assistants\, the volume’s essays and artworks demonstrate that the potentials and pitfalls of artificial intelligence and digital and robotic technologies cannot be assessed through binaries of seeing/being seen\, privacy/surveillance\, or harmful/useful.\n\nNeda Atanasoski is Professor and Chair of the Harriet Tubman Department of Women\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park and Associate Director of Education for the Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute at Maryland (AIM). Atanasoski’s interdisciplinary research has focused on feminism and AI\, feminist and critical race approaches to science and technology studies\, AI and the future of work\, militarism\, and human rights and humanitarianism. She is the author of Humanitarian Violence: The U.S. Deployment of Diversity (2013)\, co-author of Surrogate Humanity: Race\, Robots\, and the Politics of Technological Futures (2019)\, and co-editor of Postsocialist Politics and the Ends of Revolution (2022) and Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen (2025).\n\nNassim Parvin is a Professor at the University of Washington (UW) Information School where she also serves as the Associate Dean for Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, Access & Sovereignty (IDEAS).

This talk surveys how these knobs enable qualitatively new regimes in quantum materials\, with two complementary thrusts that bridge fundamental discovery and deployable technology.\n\nPart I: Ultrafast and moiré engineering. We show how terahertz (THz) fields provide a dynamic\, non-contact gate to steer charge\, spin\, and surface morphology at sub-Å length scales and femtosecond timescales\, enabling reversible\, ultrafast control of surface topology and interfacial potentials. [1] We then present design rules for controlling band topology\, excitonic structure\, and interlayer hybridization in 2D bilayers and heterostructures\, using twist angle and stacking registry as primary control parameters. [2\, 3]\n\nPart II: Quantum materials as precision sensors for fundamental symmetries. We outline a solid-state platform that couples diamond colour centres to rare\, octupole-deformed nuclei to search for symmetry-violating electric dipole moments (EDMs) beyond the Standard Model. [4] Our quantum calculations indicates that substituting 229Pa into a carbon-vacancy site yields deep-gap\, molecule-like states with narrow optical transitions and long spin coherence\, amenable to high-fidelity readout. Isoelectronic lanthanide proxies (e.g.\, Pr3+\, Tb3+) provide non-radioactive testbeds for growth and spectroscopy prior to implantation. The resulting roadmap links rare-isotope production (e.g.\, FRIB) with nanophotonic integration and laser control to create scalable\, solid-state quantum sensors for EDM searches\, nuclear clock development\, and time-reversal tests.\n\nOutlook. By uniting moiré design\, ultrafast field control\, and defect–nucleus co-engineering\, we propose a materials-by-design paradigm that both honors and extends a century of quantum science\; advancing ultrafast electronics while opening precision windows onto new physics.\n\nReferences\n\n[1] V.

Its cohomology is important in many fields. For example\, the cohomology of M_g is the same as the cohomology of the mapping class group\, and is also related to spaces of modular forms. Using its properties as a moduli space\, Mumford defined a distinguished subring of the cohomology of M_g called the tautological ring. The definition of the tautological ring was later extended to the compactification M_g-bar and the moduli spaces with marked points M_{g\,n}-bar. While the full cohomology ring of M_{g\,n}-bar is quite mysterious\, the tautological subring is relatively well understood\, and conjecturally completely understood. In this talk\, I'll discuss several results about the cohomology groups of M_{g\,n}-bar\, particularly regarding when they are tautological or not. This is joint work with Samir Canning\, Sam Payne\, and Thomas Willwacher.\n\nBio: Hannah Larson is an Assistant Professor and Clay Research Fellow at University of California\, Berkeley. She received her PhD from Stanford University\, where she was advised by Ravi Vakil. Her research centers around algebraic curves and their moduli spaces and has been recognized with a 2024 Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879693@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

However\, not all households function the same. Given the existent strains on families (e.g.\, inequity including racism and sexism)\, low-income students’ households provide students differential access to physical (e.g.\, computers)\, social (e.g.\, homework help)\, and emotional resources (e.g.\, support of mental health). For related reasons\, particularly that basic needs missingness creates more dire household situations\, low-income students are more likely to be impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). I claim that “household functioning\,” including ACEs\, can influence how low-income engineering students perceive themselves in relation to engineering\, such as through their sense of belonging. A sense of belonging is known to be central to engineering students’ success\, more so for low-income students in engineering. In this talk\, I will present my thoughts on household functioning and why I think it should be considered an important factor in our discussions of engineering students\, especially those from low-income backgrounds. In my discussion\, I provide insight into findings from my past and present work related to the topic.

Kirby: The Bureau of Personal Belonging (Ann Arbor Edition) DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 27 - November 8\, 2025\nOpening Performances: September 27\, 1-5 p.m.Closing Performances: November 8\, 1-5 p.m.\nStacey L. Kirby’s The Bureau of Personal Belonging is a series of interactive performances set within immersive installations and activated by viewer participation. The work fosters dialogue on identity\, community\, and civil engagement. Through bureaucratic forms\, papers\, postures\, language\, and aesthetics\, audiences are invited to participate in respectful dialogues and playful interactions with the artist. As the 2025 Roman J. Witt Artist-in-Residence\, Kirby spent 12 weeks on campus from January through March of 2025 meeting with students\, faculty\, and staff from the Stamps School and across U-M. Based on these conversations\, Kirby devised a site-specific installation that seeks to amplify the voices of the U-M community\, uphold the value of democratic civic engagement\, and highlight the power of art in building solidarity and mutual respect.\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

However\, these field theories are difficult in their own right\, and to make progress on them we need new non-perturbative methods. I will describe a general technique for combining the conformal bootstrap method with constraints from supersymmetric localization. This dramatically improves the ability of the bootstrap to constrain holographic theories. I will describe results for N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory\, for which this technique enables qualitatively new studies of observables as a function of the Yang-Mills coupling. I will also describe substantial improvements in the bootstrap of 3D ABJM theory\, which enables a precise numerical study of higher-derivative corrections in M-theory.

Training that focuses too heavily on practical applications may skip over foundational concepts\, such as sampling theory\, error reduction\, or bias minimization. Without these foundations\, researchers might design surveys that overlook important methodological considerations\, potentially compromising data quality in ways that negatively affect insights and decision-making. At the same time\, strong training programs often teach sophisticated survey methods (e.g.\, stratified sampling\, regression analysis\, psychometric scaling) that are used in academic or governmental research\, but are impractical or overly complex in most industry contexts without adaptation to the time and cost constraints often present. A middle ground of training is often missing--one that trains researchers on how to adapt or simplify these more complex methodologies for practical use in the real world and how to make them accessible without sacrificing quality. The presenter will discuss the holes often seen in hiring trained survey researchers and the complimentary development that is necessary to bring them up to speed to be successful industry practitioners.\n\nCurtiss Cobb is a Vice President of Research at Meta where he leads the Demography and Survey Science Team\, a quantitative focused research team that works across Meta to identify and share best practices and methodological innovations in demographic and survey research.

Are these statistical flukes or hints of new physics? Luckily\, new cosmological datasets are an embarrassment of riches--in particular the combination of maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and DESI’s 3D map of 50 million galaxies. First\, I'll show how we measure structure growth (from initial seeds to galaxy clusters) with the subtle distortions imprinted on the CMB as it is gravitationally lensed by foreground galaxies. I used this technique to achieve cutting-edge precision (<2% errors) on structure growth\, and found no evidence for tension with the standard model. Second\, I developed a new method to measure the Hubble constant by directly inferring the Universe’s total energy density\, calibrated using the baryon oscillation amplitude in galaxy clustering. I will show the first application of this method to BOSS and DESI-DR1 data\, and its potential to resolve the Hubble tension with future DESI and Euclid data. Finally\, I will discuss some other avenues for discovery with DESI: detection (or not?) of cosmological parity violation\; finding the sources of the unresolved gamma-ray background (near and low-mass or distant and high-mass)\; and lastly the status of the search for dark energy.

When Enslaved Men Could Sue Their Masters and Win: A Case from Nineteenth-Century Egypt DESCRIPTION:This presentation deals with a case preserved in the Egyptian National Archives that dates from 1858. The case deals with a dramatic case of twenty-seven enslaved men working in an estate belonging to a member of Egypt’s ruling family suing one of the high officials of the estate for beating to death one of the colleagues. The case offers fascinating details of the familiarity of these enslaved men with the law\, and specifically with the decisive role forensic medicine played in the budding Egyptian criminal legal system. The case also casts light on the enslaved men’s conception of justice\, the law and the state.\n \n Khaled Fahmy is Edward Keller Professor of North Africa and the Middle East at Tufts University. He is a historian of the modern Middle East with specifical emphasis on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt. His academic publications deal with the history of the Egyptian army in the first half of the nineteenth century\, as well as the history of medicine\, law\, and urban planning in Egypt. He also works on the history of Egypt’s wars with Israel: Suez 1956\, June 1967\, the War of Attrition\, 1969-70 and the October 1973 Wars.\n\nCo-sponsor: PICS\n\nRegister at https://myumi.ch/79nyD\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

These L-parameters are in general difficult to describe\, and classifying the representations in the corresponding \"L-packet\" can be quite tricky. However\, in the case of a particularly nice class of representations called toral supercuspidal representations\, Kaletha has shown that it is possible to write down the local Langlands correspondence quite explicitly. The goal of this talk is to state Kaletha's classification of toral supercuspidal L-parameters and parametrization of their corresponding L-packets\, and (time permitting) compute an example for a small group. I will begin by discussing the (refined) local Langlands conjecture in general\, then briefly review the theory of supercuspidal representations (including Yu's construction) before focusing on the toral supercuspidal setting. The main reference for this talk is Kaletha's 2017 paper \"Regular Supercuspidal representations.\" UID:139972-21886442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 3088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T114107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carbon Dioxide: the Untapped Resource Surrounding Us DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join a round table discussion\, held as part of University of Michigan's ClimateWeek🍃\, with experts from four universities: The Ohio State University\, Michigan State University\, Western Michigan University\, and the University of Michigan.\n\nAlthough their universities may be rivals on an athletic field 🏈\, these researchers are coming together to demonstrate the importance of collaboration when it comes to addressing climate change. 🌎 \n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn about hashtag#carbon hashtag#capture and hashtag#utilization:\n\n ✅ a basic explanation and overview\,\n ✅ potential to deliver economic and sustainability benefits\,\n ✅ what work is currently being done in the field\, \n ✅ the opportunities it presents\, and\n ✅ drawbacks\, limitations\, and barriers.\n\nDon't miss this unique opportunity to learn about carbon capture and utilization's potential benefits\, challenges\, and cutting edge research developments first hand from the experts❗ UID:137458-21880304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137458 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Carbon Neutrality,carbon reduction,climate,Climate Change,Engineering,Free,Sustainability,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250908T160052 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T163000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Catalyzing Connections: Climate\, Health & Research for Impact DESCRIPTION:Catalyzing Connections: Climate\, Health & Research for Impact brings together University of Michigan faculty and staff from diverse disciplines to explore the vital intersection of climate and health.

On the flip side\, long-term persistent VLF transmission has been identified as a likely source of electron losses and may be entirely responsible for the existence of a depleted radiation belt slot region. This highlights the dual nature of humanity’s presence in space — creator and destroyer\, influencer and observer. As we become progressively more active in space\, particularly through frequent space launches and the mass population of low earth orbit\, the character of the natural environment is itself starting to change in response to our activity. The presence and composition of debris in LEO is a high-profile example\, but far from the only one. Electromagnetics\, chemistry\, and plasma physics throughout the domain of human activity are being changed\, sometimes in surprising ways. In this talk\, I will take a holistic look at the growing impact of human activity on the space environment and potential future implications for both science and society.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJesse Woodroffe leads the Space Sciences and Applications Group (ISR-1) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) where he has overseen a portfolio work related to space-based plasma and charged particle sensing since joining LANL in 2023. From 2021-2023\, he was a program scientist at NASA Headquarters where he oversaw the research component of the NASA space weather research program. Other prior work includes serving a consultant on the space environment for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (2019-2021)\, and as a researcher at LANL investigating space weather impacts to the power grid. Jesse received his BA in physics from Augsburg College in 2003 and his PhD in physics from the University of Minnesota in 2010.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream in Zoom.

The classical Brill-Noether theorem (established by work of Eisenbud\, Fulton\, Geiseker\, Griffiths\, Harris\, Lazarsfeld) describes the geometry of this space of maps when C is a general curve. However\, the theorem fails for special curves\, notably curves that are already equipped with some unexpected map to a projective space. The first case of this is when C is a low-degree cover of the projective line. For general such covers\, the Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theorem (joint with E. Larson and I. Vogt) provides a suitable analogue. I'll also present recent results (joint with S. Vemulapalli) regarding the next natural case: when C is equipped with an embedding in the projective plane.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk we propose a calculus of variations approach to an optimal consumption problem with isoelastic preferences over an infinite horizon. Specifically we consider a complete market with a single state variable on which all model coefficients can depend. Under some mild assumptions we characterise the value function as the unique solution to a convex variational problem which is far more amenable to numerical methods. This approach circumvents the need to solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. This is a desirable situation as explicitly solving the HJB equation is often intractable and even numerics cannot be readily employed due to the lack of boundary conditions. We illustrate the utility of this approach by providing examples of models which cannot be solved using existing methods in the literature but can be solved using our approach. Additionally we highlight how this approach may be extended to solve similar optimisation problems in incomplete markets.

With nowhere to escape\, boiling tensions in the camp push Nasser to another reality. Highly experimental filmmaking.\n\nDirector Noaz Deshe works as a director and musician. He composed the soundtrack of Babak Jalali’s FRONTIER BLUES (2009)\, and was the cinematographer of the Tiger winner RADIO DREAMS (2016). His debut feature film WHITE SHADOW (2013) about a young albino person won the Lion of the Future Award at Venice Film Festival and was showcased at Sundance Film Festival.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879694@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

Kirby: The Bureau of Personal Belonging (Ann Arbor Edition) DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 27 - November 8\, 2025\nOpening Performances: September 27\, 1-5 p.m.Closing Performances: November 8\, 1-5 p.m.\nStacey L. Kirby’s The Bureau of Personal Belonging is a series of interactive performances set within immersive installations and activated by viewer participation. The work fosters dialogue on identity\, community\, and civil engagement. Through bureaucratic forms\, papers\, postures\, language\, and aesthetics\, audiences are invited to participate in respectful dialogues and playful interactions with the artist. As the 2025 Roman J. Witt Artist-in-Residence\, Kirby spent 12 weeks on campus from January through March of 2025 meeting with students\, faculty\, and staff from the Stamps School and across U-M. Based on these conversations\, Kirby devised a site-specific installation that seeks to amplify the voices of the U-M community\, uphold the value of democratic civic engagement\, and highlight the power of art in building solidarity and mutual respect.\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Since March 2023\, he has been a tenure-track assistant professor in the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Materials at EPFL. His current research spans broadly in the field of materials simulations concerning numerical error control and uncertainty quantification of first-principle simulations\, as well as the propagation of such errors during inverse materials design or when training machine learning models.\n\nAbstract: Reliable algorithmic differentiation techniques offer great promise for the inverse design of materials and functionals\, as well as the propagating uncertainties from functionals to DFT quantities of interest. Over the past years\, considerable effort has been spent on equipping the density-functional toolkit (DFTK\, https://dftk.org) with algorithmic differentiation capabilities. Prof. Herbst will present some of the required algorithmic developments\, e.g. to efficiently compute such DFT derivatives in numerically challenging metallic systems. Furthermore\, he will highlight the conceptual difficulties associated with applying AD to plane-wave DFT and discuss our recent results\, which demonstrate the current state of AD in DFTK for error estimation\, inverse design\, and implementing new functionality.

Insight into the optimal policy value can guide the development of reward-maximizing\, individualized treatment regimes. However\, because the functional that defines the optimal value is non-differentiable\, standard semi-parametric approaches for performing inference fail to be directly applicable. Existing approaches for handling this non-differentiability fall roughly into two camps. In one camp are estimators based on constructing smooth approximations of the optimal value. These approaches are computationally lightweight\, but typically place unrealistic parametric assumptions on outcome regressions. In another camp are approaches that directly de-bias the non-smooth objective. These approaches don't place parametric assumptions on nuisance functions\, but they either require the computation of intractably-many nuisance estimates\, assume unrealistic nuisance convergence rates\, or make strong margin assumptions that prohibit non-response to a treatment. In this paper\, we revisit the problem of constructing smooth approximations of non-differentiable functionals. By carefully controlling first-order bias and second-order remainders\, we show that a softmax smoothing-based estimator can be used to estimate parameters that are specified as a maximum of scores involving nuisance components. In particular\, this includes the value of the optimal treatment policy as a special case. Our estimator obtains convergence rates\, avoids parametric restrictions/unrealistic margin assumptions\, and is often statistically efficient.

While its clinical benefits are well documented\, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Due to the anatomical and cellular heterogeneity of brain tissue\, DBS can modulate diverse neuronal elements and circuits at and around the stimulation site\, many of which may not directly contribute to therapeutic effects. Moreover\, conventional DBS systems typically operate in open-loop mode\, delivering fixed stimulation parameters regardless of patient state or neural activity. Identifying the specific circuits that mediate therapeutic benefits is therefore critical for refining target selection and developing next-generation treatment strategies. Optogenetics provides a powerful tool to overcome the nonselective nature of DBS by enabling cell-type specific modulation of neural populations. By integrating optogenetic interventions with electrophysiological recordings\, computational modeling\, and behavioral assays in preclinical models of PD\, our work seeks to dissect the circuit-level mechanisms underlying DBS and systematically evaluate how modulation of defined neural pathways alleviates parkinsonian motor symptoms. In addition\, I will introduce our recent efforts toward the development and preclinical evaluation of closed-loop DBS systems\, which dynamically adjust stimulation in response to ongoing neural and behavioral states. Together\, these approaches aim to advance both our mechanistic understanding of DBS and the design of more effective\, adaptive neuromodulation therapies for PD.

Data centers alone are projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2030—triple today’s share—driven by AI and digital transformation. Add to this the impacts of electrification and manufacturing reshoring\, and the nation must prepare for an additional 130–150 GW of load by 2029\, according to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).\nMeeting this demand securely and affordably requires a broad\, inclusive energy strategy. We cannot rely on a single preferred energy source. Instead\, we must integrate existing large-scale resources—nuclear and fossil—with other energy options such as geothermal\, water power\, biomass\, renewables\, and advanced nuclear reactors to meet growing needs for electricity\, heat\, and cooling\, as well as the critical materials to build these systems.\nINL is advancing this vision through the proposed Energy Technology Proving Ground\, a first-of-its-kind facility designed to scale\, integrate\, and demonstrate multiple energy systems for commercial adoption. Initial large-scale hydrogen production tests will launch this fall\, with future work extending to synthetic fuels and chemicals powered by nuclear and renewables.\nBy accelerating the transition from lab innovation to marketplace deployment\, Idaho National Laboratory aims to drive U.S. energy resilience\, sustainability\, and global leadership in an era of unprecedented demand.\n\nBio:\nAs the Associate Laboratory Director of Energy and Environment Science and Technology at Idaho National Laboratory (INL)\, Shannon oversees a team of over 350 staff dedicated to a resilient\, affordable\, and diverse energy agenda. She steers INL’s research efforts to deliver viable energy solutions focusing on microgrid systems\, water treatment\, critical minerals and materials\, advanced manufacturing\, and efficient chemical production while harnessing cutting-edge technologies to efficiently integrate nuclear and other energy resources into the grid and the industrial sector. Shannon has earned a bachelor of science in nuclear engineering\, master of science in medical physics\, and a master of science and doctorate in nuclear engineering.
