It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

However\, the massive adoption of AI in research and the assurance of positive societal impact of the output of such research will be possible only when we can address a multitude of technical and ethical issues\, ensure infrastructure and skill building\, and understand the impact of AI on society’s challenges. Collaboration among researchers and organizations regionally and globally is essential. \n\nIn this symposium\, we bring together world-class researchers to share their vision and work\; share “AI journeys” stories - how University of Michigan researchers have been incorporating AI in their research and the lessons they impart to the audience\; and offer sessions for research brainstorming and skill building. \n\nFor a full schedule of sessions and speakers\, please visit our event page: https://myumi.ch/qVXg2\n\nThe intended audience are researchers and trainees regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit\, as well as the general public who are curious about AI and its impact on science and humanity.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818068@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250210T123235 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T140000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Book Launch: Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food DESCRIPTION:Join Alyssa Paredes (Assistant Professor\, University of Michigan) and Marvin Montefrio (Associate Professor\, Yale-NUS College) for the release of their upcoming edited collection: Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments behind Filipino Food (https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/halo-halo-ecologies-the-emergent-environments-behind-filipino-food/) is a recipe for a new storytelling tradition that combines critical studies of Filipino food and of the environment.\n \n Contributors\n Anacorita O.

Sales\n Thea Kersti Tandog\n Jessie Varquez\n \n It takes as its starting point the metaphor of halo-halo\, the iconic dessert of crushed ice\, jellies\, fruit slices\, and ube jam. Food writers and social historians alike frequently describe this summertime treat as a symbol of Filipino cultural identity for the ways it mixes local and foreign ingredients into a concoction now readily recognized as typically “Pinoy.” But halo-halo is also a product of Philippine ecosystems—that is to say\, it represents an eclectic blend of environmental tales in an ever evolving and highly politicized foodscape. The first of its kind\, Halo-Halo Ecologies brings together a transnational community of food enthusiasts\, engaged scholars\, and social and environmental activists to set the table for a new canon in Philippine and Filipino/Filipinx studies\, and in food studies more broadly. In twelve chapters\, the contributors complicate cultural icons\, like Jollibee Chickenjoy and the sari-sari store\, and bring these into conversation with the scavenging practices of informal settlements in Manila and the agroecological practices of Indigenous Lumad schools. They reveal new challenges in landscapes spanning the mountainous frontiers of Northern Luzon\, the carceral spaces of urban Manila\; the disaster-prone coastal communities of the Visayas\; the hunger-stricken plantation zones of Mindanao\, the ever-changing tides of the archipelago’s waterways\, and the invisibilized ecologies of the diaspora. These are the emergent environments behind Filipino food\, and they compel us to reimagine what\, how\, and why we eat.\n \n Conversation moderated by Deirdre de la Cruz\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621547@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T153747 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T213000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Wieseneck Symposium on Queer Israeli Culture DESCRIPTION:The Gayle & Larry Wieseneck Symposium is an annual conference hosted by the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to explore various topics relating to Israel and to look at Israel in multiple contexts. This year\, the 2024-25 Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\, themed \"Queer/Trans/Jewish\,\" is bringing in scholars from Canada\, Israel\, and all over the USA\, to examine the broad topic of Queer Israeli Culture. Come for just one session\, or stay the whole day! You especially don't want to miss the evening's finale: a special performance by spoken word artist Yossi Zabari (pictured) at 8:30 PM. \n\n\nSESSION 1: MINI-MANUSCRIPT WORKSHOP - 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM (Lunch included for participants. RSVP HERE: https://myumi.ch/R3xkz)\n\nShirly Bahar (Columbia)\, Yigal Nizri (University of Toronto)\, and Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby\, will first analyze and discuss pre-circulated material and chapter excerpts.

This panel with Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby and Fellow Oren Yirmiya\, and guest scholar Tamar Sella (University of North Texas) explores how contemporary queer Mizrahi and Arab-Jewish artists with roots in Jewish communities of the Muslim world reimagine and manifest historical periods and geographical spaces through their creative work. Through analysis of poetry\, music\, and performance by artists including Igal Mizrahi\, Yossi Zabbari\, and Loren Milk\, the panelists examine how these creators bridge temporal and spatial distances to manifest seemingly impossible connections between past and present\, here and there.\n\nSESSION 4: SPOKEN WORD PERFORMANCE BY YOSSI ZABARI - 8:30 - 9:30 PM\n\nYossi Zabari is a writer and spoken word artist who has conquered the Internet time and again with viral videos that are catchier than the Black Plague. Zabari is also a theater actor\, stand-up comedian and proud gay father.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

A coherent electromagnetic wave is expected to be induced by dark photons when coupled with Standard-Model photons through kinetic mixing mechanism\, and should be spatially correlated within the de Broglie wavelength of dark photons. I will report the first search for correlated dark-photon signals using a long-baseline network of 15 atomic magnetometers\, which are situated in two separated meter-scale shield rooms with a distance of about 1700 km. Both the network's multiple sensors and the shields large size significantly enhance the expected dark-photon electromagnetic signals\, and long-baseline measurements confidently reduce many local noise sources. Using this network\, we constrain the kinetic mixing coefficient of dark photon dark matter over the mass range 4.1 feV-2.1 peV\, which represents the most stringent constraints derived from any terrestrial experiments operating over the aforementioned mass range.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn today’s world\, the ability to consistently innovate and keep delivering hits is more important than ever before. But what are the secrets behind repeat innovation? How do some creators manage to not only break through once but continue to produce innovative work time and time again? In this talk\, Justin Berg will dive deep into the mechanisms that fuel continuous creativity and success. Drawing on his cutting-edge scientific research\, Justin will unveil the patterns\, practices\, and mindsets of those who achieve sustained innovation\, using compelling case studies to bring these concepts to life. He will explore the benefits of building a diverse portfolio of ideas and experiences\, the critical balance between leveraging past successes and venturing into new territories\, and the role of continuity and conviction in overcoming inevitable setbacks.  \n\nAbout Berg:\nJustin Berg is an award-winning researcher and teacher on the science of creativity and innovation. He holds a PhD in management and organizational behavior from The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania. After spending a decade on the faculty at the Stanford Graduate School of Business\, he realized his longtime dream of returning to the University of Michigan – his undergraduate alma mater – as a tenured professor at the Ross School of Business. His groundbreaking research reveals how we can identify our own and others’ most promising ideas\, and what differentiates “one-hit wonders” who struggle to repeat their initial success from “hitmakers” who are able to consistently produce successful innovations.\n\nJustin has studied and consulted for a wide range of organizations and industries\, uncovering how to unleash originality in Hollywood films\, songs\, and circus acts\, as well as in Fortune 50 technology companies and manufacturing firms. He has been invited to discuss his pioneering work on top podcasts\, including Hidden Brain and Freakonomics\, and his insights have been featured in BusinessWeek\, The Wall Street Journal\, Fast Company\, The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, and Harvard Business Review. Prior to graduate school\, Justin was an R&D Consultant for the Center for Positive Organizations at Michigan Ross. During this time\, he led the invention of the Job Crafting™ Exercise (along with Jane Dutton and Amy Wrzesniewski)\, which is a tool that helps people creatively redesign their jobs to be more engaging and fulfilling.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies for their support of the 2024-25 Positive Links Speaker Series.\n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

In this talk\, we will study the notion of non-archimedean periods as introduced by Kontsevich and Soibelman. We will give an overview of the non-archimedean SYZ program\, which is a close analogue of the classical SYZ conjecture in mirror symmetry. Using the non-archimedean SYZ fibration\, we will see how non-archimedean periods recover the complex analytic periods for log Calabi-Yau surfaces\, verifying a conjecture of Kontsevich and Soibelman.

In this talk\, we explore a PDE model of evolutionary game theory with environmental feedback\, describing how the spatial distribution of resource extraction strategies and environmental resources evolve due to reaction terms describing eco-evolutionary game-theoretic dynamics and spatial terms describing diffusion of environmental resources and directed motion of resource harvesters towards regions of greater environmental quality. Through linear stability\, we show that this biased motion towards higher-quality environments can lead to spatial patterns in the distribution of extraction strategies\, creating local regions with improved environmental quality and increase payoff for resource extractors. However\, by measuring the average payoff and environmental quality across the spatial domain\, we see that this pattern-forming mechanism can actually decrease the overall success of the population relative to the equilibrium outcome in the absence of spatial motion. This suggests that environmental-driven motion can produce a spatial social dilemma\, in which biased motion towards more beneficial regions can produce emergent patterns featuring a worse overall environment for the population.

In existing literature\, strategies of players are typically assigned scalar values\, and the concept of Nash equilibrium is used to identify compatible strategies. However\, this approach lacks the internal structure of a player\, thereby failing to accurately model observed behaviors in reality. To address this limitation\, we propose to characterize players by their learning algorithms\, and as their estimations intrinsically induce a distribution over strategies\, we introduced the notion of equilibrium in terms of characterizing the recurrent behaviors of the learning algorithms. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of players\, and brings the focus to the challenge of learning that players face. While our explorations in discrete games\, mean-field games\, and reinforcement learning demonstrate the framework's broad applicability\, they also set the stage for future research aimed at specific applications. This is a joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

During this coffee talk\, we will discuss what role -- if any -- these technologies should play in solving some of our greatest water challenges\, such as floods and droughts. We’ll show how to build a self-driving water system from scratch\, and we will discuss promising case studies across our region\, and beyond. Finally\, we’ll address risks\, challenges\, and nuances of bringing new tech to water management.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nBranko Kerkez\, Arthur F. Thurnau Associate Professor and Associate Department Chair for Research\n\nBranko Kerkez is an Arthur F. Thurnau associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at U-M. His research interests include water\, data\, and sensors. Branko is driven by the desire to both rationalize water management decisions\, and put tools into the hands of community members to allow them to contribute to those decisions. The National Academy of Engineering recognized his work in smart water systems in 2018 as a Gilbreth Lecturer. Branko’s Digital Water Lab is untangling the role of tech in water…one sensor at a time! He earned his PhD in 2012 from the University of California\, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners.

His presentation will include how he started creating art\, his influences\, education\, and the start of his career by stepping\, almost by accident\, into the realm of Indigenous Futurisms. His artwork from the past 10-15 years to current works will be showcased.\n\nRyan Singer is a Diné (Navajo) artist-painter based in Albuquerque\, NM. His artwork draws from his Navajo heritage and incorporates pop culture elements\, including science fiction imagery. Ryan weaves stories from his childhood memories with nostalgic iconography. Although he is associated with the \"Indigenous Futurism\" movement\, he has been drawing Star Wars characters since 1977. He enjoys creating portrait realism of Native subjects with a contemporary appeal\, and his artwork is included in several museum and private collections worldwide. Ryan has received numerous awards from the renowned SWAIA's Santa Fe Indian Market. He earned his BFA in Art Studio from the University of New Mexico\, where he participated in a collaborative lithography class with the Tamarind Institute. He is working on his MFA in Painting & Drawing at the University of New Mexico.\n\nBorn in Cedar City\, Utah\, but originally from Tuba City\, Arizona\, Ryan is of the Tódich’iinii (Bitter Water) clan and born for the Kinya’aani (Towering House) clan. Growing up in various parts of the Navajo Reservation\, Ryan often reflects on his childhood through his depictions of science fiction and pop culture icons. Other notable works include the popular \"Mutton Stew\" painting\, modeled after Andy Warhol's \"Campbell's Tomato Soup Can\" series with a Navajo twist\, and the iconic \"Wagon Burner\,\" which has become his trademark symbol. He has participated in exhibitions featuring this new genre of art and co-curated an exhibition about the \"Long Walk\" with Tony Abeyta at the Navajo Nation Museum.

Institutions are now deeply enmeshed in complex technological systems\, platforms\, and services across all parts of a museum’s operations and practices. Today\, the nature of collections themselves is implicated as they are increasingly ‘born digital.’ These shifts all require highly skilled labor\, new strategies\, policies\, and debate to ensure that the transformations serve the museum’s community and long-term interests.\n\nThis talk will explore trust\, attention\, digital memory\, ephemerality\, and the fragility of new cultural artefacts\, and conversely\, maintenance\, longevity\, and the need for bold pan-institutional and sector-wide initiatives\, new skills\, and literacies.\n\nhttps://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/museums-technologies-and-civic-transformations/ UID:132845-21871952@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132845 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Graduate School,Interdisciplinary,Media,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T213000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Swing Ann Arbor: Weekly Beginner Lesson + Social Dance DESCRIPTION:Swing Ann Arbor hosts a beginner drop-in lesson and social dance every Wednesday!

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

The optimizer relies heavily on a robust\, accurate\, and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. High-order CFD methods have the potential to provide high-accurate solutions but rely on adaptation for robustness and efficiency to strategically distribute degrees of freedom to minimize error for a given cost.\n\nThis dissertation closes many gaps preventing the widespread adoption of high-order methods in shape optimization. A novel curved mesh adaptation method is developed that performs metric-based adaptation on curved meshes improving robustness. An algorithm is developed to adapt the mesh during optimization that balances optimization cost and adaptation cost while ensuring accuracy at the optimum. These methods enable cost effective and accurate optimization.\n\nDate/Location:\nMarch 20th\, 2025 | 10:00 am EDT | FXB 1044\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95480752465 | passcode: adapt UID:133820-21873595@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133820 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:aerospace engineering LOCATION:Off Campus Location - FXB 1044 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250316T083509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250320T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250320T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Rational equivalences from hyperelliptic curves DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Chow group of zero-cycles of a variety X points can roughly be described as follows: the generators are closed points of X\, and the relations\, also known as rational equivalences\, are divisors of rational functions on curves in X. In general\, it can be very difficult to tell whether a given zero-cycle is trivial in the Chow group\, and the structure of the Chow group as a whole is very mysterious. Deep conjectures due to Bloch and Beilinson give some indication of what the structure should be and which zero-cycles should vanish\, but very little has been proven in this direction.\n\nIn this talk we will focus on certain abelian surfaces A\, and discuss a collection of methods that can take one of the zero-cycles that is predicted to vanish in Chow and verify that it is indeed a rational equivalence. The key idea behind these methods is a relation between hyperelliptic curves in A and rational curves in the Kummer surface of A. This is joint work with Evangelia Gazaki.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.\nImportant: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241018T150706 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250320T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250320T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Critical Conversations DESCRIPTION:Critical Conversations is a monthly lunch series organized by the English Department Associate Chair’s Office.

These topological objects are finite degree branched maps of the topological sphere S^2 and the geometric objects are holomorphic maps of the Riemann sphere \hat{\mathbb{C}}\, both of which are postcritically finite (i.e.\, the set of points in the orbit of the critical points is finite). We apply this framework to study a one-parameter family of modified Chebyshev polynomials from a dynamical and nondynamical perspective. Our interest in this family comes from the property that it approximates a one-parameter cosine family. This ties into a natural question that has arisen: can Thurston's characterization be extended to entire transcendental maps? In this setting\, the analog of postcritically finite maps are postsingularly finite maps on the complex plane \mathbb{C}\, but for our cosine family\, these notions coincide. Our work is based on the major breakthrough of Hubbard\, Schleicher\, and Shishikura in their characterization of exponential maps. We adapt their techniques for our cosine family to prove a partial characterization of postsingularly finite topological cosine maps.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas.

DESCRIPTION:Andrew Stier holds a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience from the University of Chicago\, a Masters in Psychology and a BA in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Chicago and is currently at the Santa Fe Institute. Andrew’s research in Urban Psychology takes advantage of cities’ regularities to study human behavior and of the inner workings of large-scale complex systems. He uses these models as a starting point to develop a theoretical framework that comprehensively explains emergent human behavior across scales\, from individual brain function to entire urban areas.\n\nAbstract\nAre people less racist in Santa Fe or Ann Arbor? Are people more or less depressed in larger cities? Are attention spans shorter in busy urban areas? Urban Psychology is the study of how the built environment of cities influences human behavior and causes psychological adaptations at the individual level. In this talk\, I will discuss the results of my research extending Urban Scaling Theory models to better understand how cities shape human psychology. I will (1) briefly review how cities systematically influence mental health and cognition\, and (2) discuss what I have learned applying urban psychology models to understand implicit biases. I will present mathematical models\, backed up by real-world and experimental (i.e.\, laboratory) data\, which demonstrate that people are less depressed\, more attentive\, and less racist (i.e.\, have lower implicit racial biases) in larger cities. In addition\, I will demonstrate that implicit biases change more slowly in larger cities than smaller cities\, despite the fact that biases are lower in larger cities. Finally\, I will discuss the implications of this observation for large-scale cultural change and the effectiveness of individual-level bias interventions.

I develop a new theory of two-sided sorting in which both heterogeneous workers and firms sort across space. The location choices of workers and firms affect each other and endogenously generate spatial disparities in the presence of three essential forces: complementarity between worker and firm productivity\, random matching within frictional local labor markets\, and congestion costs. I demonstrate that the decentralized equilibrium exhibits excessive concentration of workers and firms\, and dispersing them away from dense locations can mitigate congestion without reducing output. I then provide direct empirical evidence of the two-sided sorting mechanism using German administrative microdata. An exogenous increase in the quality of the workforce in a location results in more productive firms choosing that location. Finally\, to quantify the implications of the model\, I calibrate it to U.S. regional data and show that policies that relocate workers and firms toward less dense areas can increase welfare.

The Council of Graduate Schools report that in doctoral engineering programs\, ten-year degree completion rates are only 56% and 65% for women and men\, respectively. Persistence rates for students from historically marginalized racial groups are lower than 50%. The lack of “socialization” is generally noted as a main reason for doctoral attrition\; however\, few researchers seek to understand and characterize the socialization process in graduate engineering students and how the mechanisms of attrition or persistence work within a single disciplinary setting. Propagated by a lack of research\, administrators\, faculty\, and graduate advisors often work to “solve” retention given their anecdotal experiences with graduate students\, rather than understanding the entire picture surrounding graduate student attrition\, persistence\, and career trajectories.\n \nThis seminar will present results from several of my ongoing studies\, including an NSF RFE grant exploring how various “invisible” competencies such as academic writing can impact persistence and career trajectories and the most current findings from my NSF CAREER grant\, characterizing master’s-level departure from the engineering PhD. Though doctoral attrition and consideration of leaving is common (our work shows that approximately 70% of engineering PhD students consider or strongly consider leaving)\, students often feel isolated\, thinking they are alone and hesitant to discuss their issues with either their peers or their advisors. My team’s research across several funded projects weaves together to support a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the processes involved in attrition—including how graduate students come to consider whether they should depart from their PhD\; how various sociological or structural factors interact with psychological issues in graduate students\; and how thriving is different than surviving. Ultimately\, my research platform breaks new ground in understanding issues related to doctoral and graduate student success\, while also developing new and innovative methods to collect and visualize data about attrition processes.\n\nBiography: Catherine Berdanier is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Lee\, Johns Hopkins University DESCRIPTION:Presenter Bio\nHolden Lee is an assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Johns Hopkins University\, working on theoretical machine learning and applied probability. His research focuses on mathematical foundations for sampling algorithms and generative modeling\, with applications to language models. He was a co-organizer for the NeurIPS 2024 workshop on Creativity & Generative AI. He obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton.\n\nAbstract\nMultimodal distributions such as mixture models pose significant challenges for both learning and sampling algorithms\, but score-based and diffusion models have enjoyed widespread empirical success on these problems. How can we understand their success from a theoretical perspective?\nFor learning\, we consider Gaussian mixtures and show diffusion models can learn a mixture of k isotropic Gaussians in R^n with quasi-polynomial time and sample complexity (exp(poly log((n+k)/epsilon)))\, under a minimum weight assumption. This gives a completely different\, analytic proof of a result previously known only using a specialized algebraic approach\, and moreover\, it extends to give the first efficient algorithm for learning a non-parametric family of Gaussian convolutions of distribution supported on sets with a small covering number.\n\nFor sampling\, we explain the surprising observation that despite the slow mixing of Langevin dynamics\, it is possible to sample from multimodal distributions by learning only the vanilla score\, as long as we use data-based initialization. We consider the more general problem of sampling using a Markov chain without global mixing given a small number of samples from the stationary measure\, showing efficient sampling with a number of data samples almost linear in the number of modes\; this also covers the case of Glauber dynamics with pseudolikelihood estimation.\nBased on joint work with Khashayar Gatmiry and Jonathan Kelner (MIT)\, Frederic Koehler (UChicago)\, Thuy-Duong Vuong (UC Berkeley) on the papers https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.18869 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.09117.\n\nThis event is a part of our 899 seminar series.

A large emphasis in the pharmaceutical community has been on applying these tools in drug discovery\, where algorithms promise to accelerate the earliest stages of drug development. However\, a key challenge in applying machine learning to drug discovery is the scarcity of large\, high-quality datasets for many important applications. To combat this issue\, active learning workflows can be deployed where the machine learning algorithm is put in charge of additional data acquisition. These approaches can dramatically improve the performance of machine learning algorithms by directly querying the most useful data for model development instead of relying on human bias for data generation. In particular\, by pairing machine learning algorithms in yoked learning campaigns\, with one model as a selection algorithm and another as the predictive model\, the performance of these workflows can be improved especially when using currently popular deep neural networks. Even if no new data is selected\, smart active learning algorithms can also\nserve as a data selection approach for subsampling existing data to improve model performance especially on low quality datasets. Instead of selecting data\, data processing approaches can further improve model performance to better support drug development. For example\, novel pairwise deep learning approaches analyze the relationships between molecules to predict property differences instead of predicting property values of individual molecules. By quadratically increasing dataset sizes\, such approaches are particularly beneficial for ADMET and drug development tasks where data availability might be severely limited when relying on in vivo readouts. Such approaches can also enable the integration of bounded measurement values\, thereby enabling algorithms to incorporate data on incompletely characterized compounds to further improve model performance. While active learning and novel data\nprocessing techniques can significantly improve model performance in drug discovery\, similar advancements are needed for drug delivery applications. The development of machine learning approaches to de-risk and improve drug delivery holds immense promise to create superior therapeutics. However\, available datasets for drug delivery applications are often even more limited\, and this is further exacerbated by the large complexity of delivery challenges that often involve complex materials and interactions. To circumvent some of these challenges\, data from drug discovery can be harnessed to predict drug-excipient interactions to identify functional formulations that improve drug absorption and metabolism. Alternatively\, data can be specifically generated via high-throughput laboratory automation or using text mining to curate data from the literature. We have prototyped such advanced workflows in the context of nanoparticle development\, for example by creating predictive workflows that model the in vivo tumor reduction of inorganic nanoparticles and by using machine learning to guide the synthesis of novel drug-excipient nanoparticles with applications in anti-fungal and anti-cancer drug delivery. Despite current challenges and surely overinflated expectations\, such case studies serve as testimony that the strategic integration of machine learning into drug development pipelines holds immense promise to accelerate\, de-risk\, and optimize the creation of life-saving therapeutics.

Prior to that he was a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago (advised by Partha Niyogi). His research interests are broadly in theory and applications of machine learning\, deep learning and data analysis. Some of his well-known work includes widely used Laplacian Eigenmaps\, Graph Regularization and Manifold Regularization algorithms\, which brought ideas from classical differential geometry and spectral graph theory to data science. His more recent work has been concerned with understanding remarkable mathematical and statistical phenomena observed in deep learning. The empirical evidence necessitated revisiting some of the classical concepts in statistics and optimization\, including the basic notion of over-fitting. One of his key findings has been the \"double descent\" risk curve that extends the textbook U-shaped bias-variance trade-off curve beyond the point of interpolation. His recent work focusses on understanding feature learning and over-parameterization in deep learning. Mikhail Belkin is an ACM Fellow and a recipient of a NSF Career Award and a number of best paper and other awards. He had served on the editorial boards of IEEE Proceedings on Pattern Analysis Machine Intelligence and the Journal of the Machine Learning Research. He is the editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS).\n\nAbstract: In recent years\, transformers have become a dominant machine learning methodology.\nA key element of transformer architectures is a standard neural network (MLP). I argue that MLPs alone already exhibit many remarkable behaviors observed in modern LLMs\, including emergent phenomena. Furthermore\, despite large amounts of work\, we are still far from understanding how 2-layer MLPs learn relatively simple problems\, such as “grokking” modular arithmetic. I will discuss recent progress and argue that feature-learning kernel machines (Recursive Feature Machines) isolate some key computational aspects of modern neural architectures and are preferable to MLPs as a model for analysis of emergent phenomena.

Our ignorance largely results from the fact that the expected timescale for supermassive black hole growth of 50 million years is far longer than the mere fifty years that humans have been observing quasars. A holy grail would thus be a direct measurement of quasar lifetimes\, shedding light on the physical mechanisms responsible for fueling black hole growth\, and how the back-reaction of this growth might influence how galaxies form. I will discuss two very different experiments that allow us to construct cosmic clocks that can accurately time the duration of luminous quasar activity on timescales of kiloyears to gigayears. One exploits the clustering pattern of quasars on the sky\, which has recently been measured by JWST. The other uses observations of diffuse intergalactic gas in quasar environs. I will also touch upon how the latter can be used to constrain the reionization history of the Universe.

Ferns also occupy a pivotal evolutionary position as sister to the megadiverse seed plants\, and they are thus the critical outgroup needed to understand the evolution of key seed plant features. This talk presents the results of a phylogenomic approach to reconstructing fern evolution\, using the most highly resolved nuclear dataset to date (targeting 408 loci)\, and with highly targeted taxonomic sampling (including nearly all fern families and genera). This dataset allows us to explore a range of outstanding questions in fern phylogenetics\, including resolving recalcitrant nodes\, and comparing results between our nuclear based trees and other recent large-scale fern phylogenies based on chloroplast loci.

The Edict was the subject of a vast commentarial literature and was revered as a sacred text right through the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. This talk takes a closer look at the long-neglected thirteenth apothegm of the Edict\, which admonished against “shielding fugitive bannermen\,” and inquires what it can tell us about political loyalty\, displaced imperial subjects\, and inter-ethnic relations in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan\, where he has taught since 2006. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations\, jurisprudence\, institutional history\, and linguistics intersect. He has published on East Asian treaty ports\, extraterritoriality and international law in China and Japan\, Sino-Japanese relations\, Manjuristics\, and the history of Sinology. His most recent academic publication explores Confucian responses to Western imperialism and Japan’s policy of “National Seclusion” in the 1830s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes\, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications\, which rely on uniform\, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our interfacial designs in enabling selective chemical syntheses and durable energy conversion systems will be discussed.

We examine the possibility that labor supply is habit forming—so that past labor supply levels affect preferences for future supply. We undertake a field experiment with casual urban laborers in Chennai\, India. We randomly provide some workers with small financial incentives for attendance over 7 weeks\, leading to a 23% increase in labor supply. We test for habit formation by examining subsequent impacts after the incentives are removed. First\, we see a persistent 16% increase in labor supply over the next 2 months\, resulting in a 11% increase in employment. Second\, treated workers exhibit a higher willingness to accept work contracts that are of longer duration and less flexible. They also self-report an increase in automaticity—suggesting a change in preferences. Third\, shocks that temporarily pull workers out of the labor market lead subsequent treatment effects to collapse to zero\; in the absence of these shocks\, we cannot reject that there is no decay in effects over time. Fourth\, in incentivized measures\, employers accurately predict treatment effects\, and prefer hiring workers who have been treated with a stronger habit stock in the past—findings that have relevance for understanding duration dependence and the “unemployment scar”. Finally\, in supplementary data from other settings\, we replicate short-run persistent effects of transitory labor supply shocks—indicating the broader generalizability of hysteresis in labor supply. Together\, our results suggest that the intermittent nature of employment and frequent shocks experienced in low-income settings may inhibit workers from becoming habituated to regular work—with implications for the transition to formal regular work in poor countries.

The main explanation offered by political scientists is that voters strongly support post-disaster relief but not policies that seek to prevent or prepare for disaster. This study challenges that view. We develop novel measures of preferences for disaster prevention and post-disaster relief. We find strong support for prevention policies and candidates who pursue them\, even among the subgroups that are the most opposed. Support for prevention has the hallmarks of “real” attitudes: consistency across wordings and response formats\, including open ended probes\; steadfastness in the face of arguments\; and willingness to make trade-offs against disaster relief\, increased taxes\, and reduced spending on other programs. Neither cognitive biases for the here and now nor partisan polarization prevent robust majority support for disaster prevention. We validate these survey findings with election results\, which suggest voters act on these preferences.
