SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Through the Lens: Examining Colorful Objects from Karanis
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, IPAMAA PhD candidate Laurel Fricker has worked with Kelsey Museum conservators on *Investigating Color in Roman Egypt*\, a project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. During this time\, she has studied pigments and dyes on artifacts from Karanis—mainly terracotta figurines and textiles—using various analytical techniques\, allowing her to reconstruct the colorful world that ancient people created and inhabited.\n\nThis research forms the basis of the Kelsey Museum’s newest Kelsey in Focus case\, which opened in mid-October. Curated by Laurel\, “Through the Lens: Examining Colorful Objects from Karanis” takes a close look at three figurines uncovered from domestic contexts at Karanis\, exploring how pigments—often invisible to the naked eye—can be investigated using digital microscopy and multispectral imaging. \n\nJoin us at this Flash Talk to learn more about Laurel’s research and exhibition. To register for this lecture\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/jGTJinBfv3fsnTH37. Zoom log-in information will be provided upon registration. Please sign up by 9:30 AM the day of the event to ensure you receive a confirmation email containing the access code.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Daeun Lee Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Africa’s hydroclimate and environments from the Miocene (~23–5 million years ago) to present-day have been shaped by dynamic interactions among ocean circulation\, tectonic evolution\, atmospheric chemistry\, and hydroclimatic processes. Understanding these shifts offers vital context for reconstructing ancient environments and the evolution of tropical ecosystems. However\, persisting challenges remain in explaining the decoupling of global climate signals from regional hydrology\, especially in Africa\, a continent central to human evolution and biodiversity.\n\nThis dissertation integrates climate modeling\, proxy analyses\, and novel isotope measurements to investigate: (1) how multiple equilibrium states in ocean circulation\, particularly the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)\, contribute to the decoupling of atmospheric CO₂ and regional climate signals during the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT)\; (2) the impact of tectonic uplift and valley formation within the East African Rift System (EARS) on Miocene rainfall patterns\, moisture transport\, and water-isotope signals\, and the influence of AMOC on African hydroclimate\; and (3) the seasonal and spatial controls on modern rainwater isotopic composition across tropical Africa\, improving proxy calibration for paleoclimate reconstructions.\n\nChapter 2 focuses on the global perspective\, investigating how multiple equilibrium states in ocean circulation\, particularly the AMOC\, contribute to the decoupling of atmospheric CO₂ and regional climate signals during the MMCT. MMCT simulations\, using the isotope-enabled Community Earth System Model (iCESM)\, reveal that initial ocean conditions induce divergent equilibrium states that modulate AMOC strength\, sea surface temperature gradients\, and precipitation. These findings provide a mechanistic explanation for the frequent asynchrony observed between global pCO₂ and regional SST proxies (UK'37) during the Miocene.\n\nChapter 3 zooms into Africa to identify the driving mechanisms of flora and faunal changes during the Late Cenozoic (23–15 million years ago)\, by examining the impact of tectonic uplift and valley formation within the EARS on Miocene rainfall patterns\, moisture transport\, and water-isotope signals. High-resolution paleoclimate modeling demonstrates how sequential tectonic uplift amplifies orographic precipitation\, intensifies low-level jets\, generates rain-shadow effects\, and modulates water-isotope signatures\; these simulated results can be validated against regional proxy archives (e.g.\, leaf-wax δD\, paleosol carbonates δ18O\, tooth enamel δ18O)\, which are very limited for this time interval in eastern Africa. Sensitivity experiments in this chapter also explore the additional influence of AMOC state in controlling continental climate variance.\n\nChapter 4 then shifts the focus to modern hydroclimate\, presenting new stable water isotope datasets from tropical Africa collected at multiple sites. By analyzing biweekly rainwater isotope records\, this chapter disentangles the seasonal and spatial controls on meteoric water isotopes and challenges canonical interpretations of the “amount effect.” The data emphasize the significance of shifts in moisture source\, convective activity\, and dynamic atmospheric boundaries as primary drivers of isotopic variability. This new observation could help refine proxy calibration for hydroclimate reconstructions.\n\nBy synthesizing isotope-enabled Earth System Modeling\, proxy archives\, and modern stable isotope datasets\, this work advances understanding of global to regional climate driving mechanisms\, tectonic-hydroclimate feedbacks\, and controls on African rainwater isotope variability. Africa’s dynamic tectonics and climatic transitions during the Miocene uniquely shaped rainfall patterns and water isotope signals\, offering key insights into the evolving climate system we are facing today.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:he aggregate-then-evaluate approach to model uncertainty.
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will discuss a new framework for incorporating model uncertainty into decision-making under uncertainty. To develop a mathematical formalism for decision-making\, one usually studies functionals on the space of random variables\, where the interpretation of the functional depends on the problem's context. For example\, functionals can be used to calculate capital requirements in quantitative risk management or to calculate premiums for insurable losses in actuarial science. In practice\, one usually begins by estimating a probabilistic model and using law-invariant functionals. This approach is convenient because the calculation of law-invariant functionals is tractable and leverages the extensive literature on statistical model building. However\, there is often considerable uncertainty about the probabilistic model estimated from the data. To address this model uncertainty\, one often resorts to distributionally robust optimization. This is done by fixing a collection of competing probabilistic models and computing the worst-case value of the law-invariant functional under them. As we will see\, distributionally robust optimization can be seen as an evaluate-then-aggregate (ETA) approach to model uncertainty. This will then motivate us to discuss an aggregate-then-evaluate (ATE) approach. After defining the ATE approach\, we will discuss ways to ensure that the decisions made through it respect normatively appealing properties\, e.g.\, the preference for diversification. Finally\, we will conclude this talk by showing that the ATE approach better supports decision-making when the statistician is a Bayesian. To do this\, we will show why the ETA approach is not the right way to go about decision-making under uncertainty as a Bayesian\, and how the ATE approach does not run into the same issue.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:For 18 years Erin Zindle has been curating an epic annual musical celebration inspired by the themes of the holiday season. Each December\, this event is a warm hearted lift-off to the holidays that has become an indispensable tradition for families in the greater Ann Arbor area and far beyond. Zindle\, The Ragbirds’ songwriter\, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist\, produces this gala event with the intention of joyfully interconnecting the performers and audiences of the Michigan music community. A star-studded “house band” along with a horn section\, string section and backup singers\, lays the foundation for guest vocalists to shine. \n\nThis year’s featured artists include avant-garde\, folk-soul cellist Jordan Hamilton\, gutsy garage-rock singer-songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, beloved Ann Arbor folk-bender Billy King\, looper\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Ki-5\, indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Dylan Charles and incendiary Outlaw-Americana duo Ember & Ash (Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, of The Native Howl)\n\nThe show’s strength is its diversity\, with a wide range of song styles highlighting the incredibly talented instrumentalists and vocalists within the group. Creative arrangements of original songs\, new modern hits\, and traditional carols make this show unlike any other - it’s truly “not your mama’s Christmas show”. Master of Ceremonies comedienne Shelly Smith guides listeners through the experience with laughter and good cheer.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A New Approach for the Continuous Time Kyle-Back Strategic Insider Equilibrium Problem
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we consider a continuous-time Kyle-Back model which is a game between an insider and a market maker. The existing literature typically focuses on constructing equilibria with a PDE approach\, which requires certain Markovian structures. We characterize all equilibria through a coupled system of forward-backward SDEs. In particular\, when the time duration is small\, we show that the FBSDE is well-posed\, and therefore the game has a unique equilibrium. Moreover\, this unique equilibrium may be non-Markovian and thus not attainable via the PDE approach. We next study the set value of the game\, which roughly speaking is the set of insider's values over all equilibria and thus is by nature unique. Finally\, we characterize the set value through a level set of a certain standard HJB equation.\nIn the second part of the talk\, we apply the new approach to the Kyle-Back model with dynamic legal risk. In the presence of an active regulator and large numbers of noise traders\, the insider chooses a strategy that conceals his identity within a large volume of surrounding trades and concentrates on medium-sized trades.  We establish an intensity-based mathematical framework for explaining the interconnections between insider trading and stealth trading. It turns out that when the number of noise traders becomes large\, the price impact of the insider asymptotically vanishes\, and consequently the stochastic game becomes deterministic optimizations\, which also carry implications for regulatory investigations and sanctions.\nThe results above include the joint work with Weixuan Xia and with Jianfeng Zhang.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Housing Production and the Structural Transformation of China’s Real Estate Development Industry
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Lan Deng\, professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Michigan. She has been studying housing and real estate development in both China and the U.S. Her research examines the different types of interventions the two countries have developed to provide decent housing and quality neighborhoods for their residents. Professor Deng is the North American editor for the international journal Housing Studies. She is also a co-founder of the Collective for Equitable Housing initiative at the University of Michigan.  Professor Deng holds a PhD in city and regional planning from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and a master’s and bachelor’s of science from Peking University\, China.\n\nAbstract: “Housing is a major source of inequality. While extensive research exists on housing market outcomes like affordability and wealth disparities\, studies on how housing is produced are limited. Much of the existing work focuses on regulatory barriers to development. Few have examined the role of the homebuilding industry in shaping housing market outcomes. This gap largely stems from a long-held assumption in housing economics: that homebuilding is a highly competitive sector that\, if left alone\, will produce whatever the market demands. As a result\, the industry is often viewed as a passive actor in urban development process.\n\nThis study challenges this assumption. We argue that the structure and behaviors of the real estate development industry play important roles in shaping housing market outcomes.  This is especially salient in China\, where the industry has become highly concentrated\, with major developers controlling an increasing share of national housing production. Using mixed methods\, this study examines the dynamics driving these structural changes in the Chinese real estate development industry\, with a particular focus on how these changes have affected local housing production. Our findings reveal the changing nature of real estate development\, how it has amplified risks in Chinese housing markets and contributed to the widening of regional inequality.”

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:The Body and Michelangelo
DESCRIPTION:What happens when art becomes an act of anatomy? When the human body\, flesh\, muscle\, and bone\, becomes the canvas through which the divine is revealed? The Renaissance marked this turning point: after centuries of ethereal figures floating in abstract space\, artists rediscovered the incarnate human form. Some\, like Leonardo da Vinci\, sought truth through dissection\, while Michelangelo saw in anatomy a path to transcendence. This talk explores how he fused science\, beauty\, and spirit (from the tenderness of the Pietà to the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel) and how the Catholic Church received his daring vision of the human body as a vessel of meaning.\n\nElizabeth Lev\, an acclaimed art historian who teaches in Rome at the University of Mary and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas\, has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums and written for publications such as The Washington Post and First Things. Author of The Tigress of Forlì and How Catholic Art Saved the Faith\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Nightline\, and 60 Minutes\, and her TED Talk on the Sistine Chapel has reached over 1.9 million viewers! She is a well-known tour guide and has served as a consultant to the Vatican Museums for their art and faith itineraries\, projects with the Vatican Patrons of the Arts and wrote “Vatican Treasures: The Via Pulchritudinis\,” a film presented to Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. She lives in Rome with her husband\, Thomas Williams\, and their son Joshua and is a certified sommelier. Her insight brings the Renaissance alive. You will not want to miss this.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by CHHASSEM-The Center for History\, Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Arts in Medicine.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Higher p-adic modular forms\; Frobenius lifting and a geometric theory of companion forms
DESCRIPTION:George Boxer's talk:\nTitle: Higher p-adic modular forms\n\nAbstract: The goal of the theory of higher p-adic modular forms is to study the p-adic properties of higher coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties\, just as usual p-adic modular forms are used to study classical modular forms (or coherent H^0).  In this talk I will try to motivate why we should study higher coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties and then give an introduction to higher p-adic modular forms and in particular some generalizations of the works of Hida and Coleman on classicality and families.  All this is joint with Vincent Pilloni.\n\nVincent Pilloni's talk:\nTitle : Frobenius lifting and a geometric theory of companion forms\n\nAbstract : We describe the obstruction to lift Frobenius on Siegel Shimura varieties modulo p^2. We give an application to the theory of companion forms on the modular curve (originally due to Gross\, Coleman-Voloch\, Faltings-Jordan) and on Siegel threefolds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Particle Systems with Local Interactions via Hitting Times and Cascades on Graphs
DESCRIPTION:We study particle systems interacting via hitting times on sparsely connected graphs\, following the framework of Lacker\, Ramanan and Wu (2023). We provide general robustness conditions that guarantee the well-posedness of physical solutions to the dynamics\, and demonstrate their connections to the dynamic percolation theory. We then study the limiting behavior of the particle systems\, establishing the continuous dependence of the joint law of the physical solution on the underlying graph structure with respect to local convergence and showing the convergence of the global empirical measure\, which extends the general results by Lacker et al. to systems with singular interaction. The model proposed provides a general framework for analyzing systemic risks in large sparsely connected financial networks with a focus on local interactions\, featuring instantaneous default cascades. This work is done jointly with Qinxin Yan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quadratically Regularized Optimal Transport
DESCRIPTION:The quadratically regularized optimal transport problem (QOT) has emerged in the literature as a sparse alternative to the celebrated entropically regularized transport problem (EOT). Unlike EOT\, whose solutions always have full support—even for small regularization parameters—QOT solutions\, or QOT plans\, tend to approximate the support of the unregularized transport problem\, which concentrates on the graph of a function under mild conditions. This gives way to some natural questions that I will intend to answer in this talk\, such as: Why do we care about sparsity? How does this sparsity manifest\, and is it monotone? Can we efficiently approximate QOT? This is joint work with my co-advisor Marcel Nutz and Dr. Alberto González-Sanz.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Higher-derivative Kerr-Sen black holes
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss recent developments in the use of solution-generating techniques for computing higher-derivative corrections. In particular\, I will show how to use an O(2\,1) boost to obtain the four-derivative corrections to the Kerr-Sen solution for two choices of higher-derivative action. The resulting solution\, much like the case for Kerr\, is perturbative in the spin parameter\, but I will show how to get the exact thermodynamics and discuss a\nconjectural BPS limit. Time allowing\, I will also discuss ongoing work on the extremal non-supersymmetric Kerr-Sen black hole.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mike Cooley
DESCRIPTION:“...one of the best American songwriters alive. The man is a documentarian of the casually overlooked\, the ruefully funny\, the unvarnished machinations of the human beast.” –PopMatters\n\nMike Cooley is an American guitarist\, singer\, and songwriter\, best known as a member of the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers. The Alabama musical style blends elements of rock\, country\, and Americana\, and he is recognized for his sharp\, evocative lyrics and distinctive guitar work. As one of the band's primary songwriters\, Cooley has written numerous iconic tracks for Drive-By Truckers\, with his songs often exploring themes of personal introspection\, Southern identity\, and social commentary. Alongside bandmate Patterson Hood\, Cooley has been a driving force behind the band's evolution since their formation in the late 1990s\, contributing to their gritty\, honest sound and critical success.\n\nIn addition to his work with the band\, Cooley has pursued a solo career\, releasing his debut solo album The Fool on Every Corner in December 2012. The album showcases his storytelling prowess and ability to create poignant\, introspective songs with a more stripped-down\, intimate sound compared to his work with Drive-By Truckers. Known for his wit and keen observational style\, Cooley's solo work highlights his versatility as an artist\, cementing his place as an influential figure in contemporary American roots music.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dissertation Defense Seminar: Jordan Byrne
DESCRIPTION:Spatial organization of protein-based organelles is increasingly recognized as a fundamental requirement for bacterial physiology. Carboxysomes\, encapsulins\, and biomolecular condensates compartmentalize metabolic reactions throughout diverse bacteria\, yet their positioning within cells remains poorly understood. Mislocalization of these structures leads to heterogeneous inheritance\, reduced metabolic output\, and impaired growth\, and poses a major challenge for efforts to engineer synthetic organelles in model hosts such as Escherichia coli. The Maintenance of Carboxysome Distribution (Mcd) system\, composed of the ParA-like ATPase McdA and the adaptor McdB\, directs equidistant positioning of carboxysomes along the nucleoid. Although ParA and MinD family ATPases are well studied\, little is known about the molecular features that govern adaptor specificity and function. Furthermore\, many adaptors\, including McdB\, form biomolecular condensates\, suggesting that phase separation may contribute to organelle control\, but the underlying sequence determinants remain unclear. This dissertation addresses these knowledge gaps by dissecting the regions and residues of McdB that mediate phase separation\, interaction with McdA\, and leverage control of organelle positioning\, and by applying these insights to develop programmable spatial organization tools for synthetic biology.\n\nThe McdB adaptor protein undergoes phase separation. I show here that McdB condensates mature from liquid- to gel-like condensates. Given that glutamine residues are known to contribute to maturation in other condensate-forming proteins\, I mutated a glutamine-rich region of McdB from Synechococcus elongatus to determine its role in McdB structure\, oligomerization and phase separation activity. \n\nSecond\, I generated sequence variants in Halothiobacillus neapolitanus McdB and showed that specific N-terminal basic residues\, particularly K7\, are necessary for full McdA engagement and proper carboxysome distribution in vivo\, revealing that cargo positioning and cargo partitioning are mechanistically separable functions of the Mcd system. \n\nThird\, I translated these mechanistic insights into a synthetic\, minimal positioning toolkit by engineering modular “Minimal Autonomous Positioning” (Map) tags derived from McdB. When fused to biomolecular condensates or encapsulins in Escherichia coli\, Map tags conferred McdA-dependent nucleoid-associated spacing patterns\, transforming immobile aggregates into dynamic and evenly distributed intracellular structures. \n\nTogether\, this work identifies domain- and residue-level determinants that govern McdB-mediated organelle positioning and condensate behavior\, clarifies adaptor-ATPase specificity principles in ParA/MinD-type systems\, and establishes a transferable genetic strategy for engineering intracellular spatial organization in bacteria. These findings advance both fundamental understanding of bacterial cell organization and the development of spatially programmable tools for microbial synthetic biology.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Leveraging Intentional Collisions to Enhance Aerial Manipulation
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chairs: Brent Gillespie and Ella Atkins\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95579522863\n\nAbstract: \nUncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) have become essential in tasks that are too difficult or dangerous for humans. This dissertation was initially inspired by the challenge of making rainforest tree sampling safer for botanists\, who often need to climb dangerously tall trees. Building on this motivation\, we developed a new approach for aerial manipulation that enables interaction with objects of unknown dynamics through intentional collisions using a pogo-stick payload. The key insight is that intentional collisions consolidate all potential disturbance forces into a single impulse\, the outcome of which is hopefully simpler to predict. Given assumptions on the dynamics of the interaction object\, the map from pre- to post-impact states (collision response) is known\, providing an opportunity to choose pre-impact states that will result in recoverable post-impact states.\n\nThe use of intentional collisions with a UAS presents unique challenges due to underactuation. Collision outcomes are set by strike velocity and orientation\, yet hitting a desired point requires full position control. Traditional UAS actuator configurations cannot provide both full position and attitude control authority. This dissertation presents several approaches to mitigate underactuation and enable aerial manipulation with intentional collisions.\n\nTo begin\, this dissertation develops the strategy of using intentional collisions in a flight mode called Velocity Matching. The Velocity Matching flight mode starts in two phases: launch phase and then the Velocity Matching phase. During the launch phase\, the UAS is sped up horizontally to \"launch\" the vehicle\, assumed thereafter to behave ballistically\, towards the target. After launch\, the Velocity Matching phase is entered\, and thrust is limited to the bare minimum thrust required for attitude control. During the Velocity Matching phase the minimal thrust attitude control is used to align the center-of-mass velocity vector of the UAS with the pogo-stick’s orientation at strike. Using simulation and flight tests\, we generate a map from pre-launch modes states into recoverable post-impact states\, allowing for planned strikes.\n\nSecond\, we refine the flight control from Velocity Matching to a cascaded position–attitude switching controller (called Switching Control). In the Switching Control mode\, the UAS flies in position cascaded PID control for most of the trajectory\, then switches at the last moment to attitude cascaded PID control for pre-strike alignment. We also provide a tool to predict the best switching time from an initial displacement\, and we validate the approach experimentally.\n\nFinally\, we develop a new control approach involving an actuated pogo-stick payload controlled via a partial feedback linearizing controller to regulate both UAS position and pogo-stick orientation. After validating the actuated pogo-stick in simulation\, we built a physical cable-driven version that slides along a hemispherical base. This mechanism provides two-degree-of-freedom orientation control (pitch and roll compensation) and keeps the pogo-stick perpendicular to the UAS center of mass\, enabling more favorable\, recoverable collision responses.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.
