This dissertation studies several mathematical problems that arise from this demand, with an emphasis on sequential decision making, sparse high-dimensional inference, differential privacy, and global testing. \n\nThe first part of the dissertation concerns stochastic convex hull membership, a pure-exploration problem in which one sequentially samples from a finite collection of distributions in order to decide whether a target point belongs to the convex hull of their unknown means. We first give a complete solution in one dimension, deriving the information-theoretic characteristic time and developing Thompson-CHM, an asymptotically optimal sampling algorithm whose allocation matches the lower bound. We then further extend the whole theory to the higher-dimensional Gaussian setting, where Euclidean geometry makes the least favorable alternatives explicit. \n\nThe second part develops differentially private procedures for the Dantzig selector in high-dimensional linear regression. We start by proposing a private sparse-regression method based on a noisy iterative hard-thresholding oracle tailored to the Dantzig selector's score geometry. The algorithm preserves sparsity by construction and satisfies privacy, parameter-error, and population excess-risk guarantees, with the main error rate matching the known differentially private minimax benchmark up to logarithmic factors. We then introduce a complementary active-set method that privatizes the Dantzig score more directly: it privately identifies violated score coordinates, refits on a restricted support, and prunes to exact sparsity. This second approach is closer to the defining feasibility constraint of the Dantzig selector and provides an alternative route to private sparse estimation under stronger sparse-design conditions.\n\nThe final part studies sparse-signal detection in high-dimensional regression by combining two classical ideas: knockoffs and higher criticism. Knockoffs provide dependence-adaptive negative controls, while higher criticism is designed to detect rare and weak alternatives near the sharp sparse-mixture boundary. We introduce a multi-knockoff higher-criticism statistic based on Lasso entry times in an augmented design containing multiple knockoff copies per feature. In the orthogonal-design regime, the proposed statistic attains the classical higher-criticism detection boundary for sparse alternatives against the global null. This result suggests a new way to use knockoff constructions beyond false discovery rate control: as a mechanism for calibrating global tests in high-dimensional models with structured dependence.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148514-21904393@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148514", "building_id":"", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "building_official_id":null, "campus_maps_id":"1", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"other", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/96950417537?jst=2", "cost":"", "tags":["Dissertation"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Dissertation Defenses", "group_id":"4045", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148514\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904393 } , { "id":"148339-21903956", "datetime_modified":"20260519T101611", "datetime_start":"20260603T140000", "datetime_end":"20260603T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-03", "date_end":"2026-06-03", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Design-Based Causal Inference for Clustered Randomized Experiments and Observational Studies", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Design-Based Causal Inference for Clustered Randomized Experiments and Observational Studies: Xinhe Wang", "event_subtitle":"Xinhe Wang", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Modern empirical research increasingly relies on comparative studies with complex designs, including stratified and clustered treatment assignment, multiple treatment arms, and observational samples. These features arise naturally in education, public health, policy evaluation, and many other fields, but they also complicate causal estimation and inference by undermining the validity for familiar estimators and standard errors.\n\nThe first part of the dissertation studies clustered randomized trials with heterogeneous cluster sizes. We show that the commonly used estimators that average stratum-specific treatment-control contrasts can be inconsistent for the average treatment effect in such settings, a problem that has received limited attention. We establish consistency of a simple alternative, the H\u00e1jek estimator, under standard asymptotic regimes, develop an asymptotically conservative variance estimator valid under arbitrary stratum sizes, and propose a score-type test with improved small- to moderate-sample performance.\n\nThe second part of the dissertation extends this framework to multi-arm stratified clustered experiments, where inference must account for not only treatment-versus-control comparisons, but also comparisons among active treatments. We show that regression adjustment admits a unified two-stage representation, allowing adjustment models to be fit on the full sample, a subset of units, or external data. We establish multivariate asymptotic theory for vectors of covariate-adjusted H\u00e1jek estimators and develop a covariance matrix estimator that is asymptotically conservative in the positive semidefinite order.\n\nThe third part of the dissertation connects design-based inference for randomized experiments with matched and stratified observational studies. We compare the observational assignment mechanism to an emulated stratified clustered randomized trial with the same realized blocking structure. Assuming sufficient within-block homogeneity in treatment propensities, we show that a sandwich-type variance estimator for the covariate-adjusted H\u00e1jek estimator is asymptotically conservative.\n\nTogether, these results provide a unified design-based framework for estimation and inference in randomized and observational comparative studies.

Drawing on risk psychology, public-health history, and human-factors research, Prof. McGehee examines how visibility imbalance, trust, and perceptions of control shape public acceptance of emerging vehicle automation. Using real-world examples from automated-vehicle deployments alongside lessons from vaccine adoption and safety communication, the talk argues that societal expectations for perfection in automation may obscure meaningful population-level safety gains. The presentation concludes by discussing how transparency, responsible system design, and careful language around driver-assistance technologies can help align public perception with evidence as automated driving evolves toward broader deployment.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Daniel V. McGehee, is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) and the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), one of the world\u2019s largest and most advanced ground-vehicle simulation facilities.

The free, public talk is titled, \u201cTrait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity.\u201d\n\nJarzyna is an associate professor in the Department of Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University.\n\nTrait-based ecology has long been heralded as a framework capable of providing mechanistic insight into biodiversity dynamics and thereby enabling predictions of future biodiversity states.\n\nYet despite decades of development, the promise of trait-based ecology remains largely unrealized.\n\nIn this talk, the macroecologist and biodiversity scientist will draw on examples from her own research to critically examine where this promise has and has not been fulfilled.\n\nUsing avian systems as a case study, Jarzyna demonstrates how incorporating functional traits into biodiversity metrics can reveal patterns that traditional species richness measures obscure.\n\nIn particular, she shows that trait-based approaches uncover seasonal dynamics in bird communities \u2014 shifts in functional composition across the year that species counts alone would miss entirely.\n\nThese findings illustrate both the potential of trait-based ecology and the persistent gap between its theoretical ambitions and empirical application.\nJarzyna\u2019s research focuses on understanding the processes that drive biodiversity dynamics across spatial, temporal, and taxonomic scales.\n\nShe holds an M.S. in environmental science from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and a dual Ph.D. in fisheries and wildlife and ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior from Michigan State University, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates

"description":"Dr. John Verhoeven is a metallurgical engineer, U-M alumnus and Distinguished Emeritus Professor at Iowa State University who lives along Douglas Lake, near the University of Michigan Biological Station.\n\nAs part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), Verhoeven will give a free, public talk titled, \u201cMaking Steel Knives from Sands Found on Douglas Lake.\u201d\n\nSince retiring, he has continued to do research with colleagues in northern Michigan. They recently found magnetic black sand on Douglas Lake, reduced it to iron and made kitchen knives.\n\nTheir experiments measuring the composition of the sand in an electron microscope show that it comes from what geologists call OUI deposits of the Mid-Continental Rift. Verhoeven said the source rock from which the sand eroded \u2014 Fe-Ti oxide ultramafic intrusions (OUI) \u2014 was brought to the surface from magma in Earth\u2019s core 1.1 billion years ago when tectonic plates separated. \n\nHere is a more detailed description of the lecture from Verhoeven: \u201cBladesmith Tim Zowada, who lives near Petoskey, smelts the magnetic black sand he collects on Lake Superior near White Fish Point into iron and makes knives. Working with Tim, we discovered that the source rock from which the sand eroded contains Ti. This was a new discovery because geologists had assumed the source rock was the same as the iron ore used to make the Taconite which is shipped through the Soo Locks to supply US steel mills. It does not contain Ti. With the help of geologist Marcia Bjornerud, we have shown that the source rock is what geologists call: Fe-Ti oxide ultramafic intrusions (OUIs). These rocks where brought to the surface from the magma in Earth\u2019s core 1.1 billion years ago when tectonic plates separated and the mid-continental rift (MCR) formed. The rift runs through the Lake Superior region, and our experiments show the Ti minerals of Tim\u2019s sand matches the composition from OUI drillings collected near Lake Superior. With the help of my neighbor, Mike Johnson, we have recently found magnetic black sand on Douglas Lake and Tim has reduced it to iron and made a few small kitchen knives which will be passed around. Our experiments measuring the composition of the sand in an electron microscope in my shop show that it also comes from OUI deposits of the MCR. Douglas Lake also lies on the MCR.

The free, public talk is titled, \u201cContinent-Scale Aerial Dispersal of Fungi.\u201d\n\nChaudhary is an associate professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth College who studies mycorrhizas (plant-fungal symbioses), macroecology (continent-scale ecology), and movement (microbial dispersal).\n\nDispersal is a fundamental ecological process driving the abundance and distribution of species from local to global scales.\n\nSignificant knowledge gaps exist regarding the mechanisms of fungal dispersal, especially for species that live entirely belowground.\n\nChaudhary describes the results of multiple complimentary studies that combine macrosystems biology, trait-based ecology, eDNA metabarcoding, and data synthesis approaches to address fundamental questions in fungal dispersal ecology.\n\nShe also shares new methods her lab is developing to apply AI and data synthesis to make inferences about the ecology and evolution of fungi.\n\nChaudhary earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago and her M.S. and Ph.D. from Northern Arizona University, previously holding faculty appointments at DePaul University and Loyola University Chicago.\n\nIn her lab, she uses trait-based approaches to develop predictive frameworks for microbial dispersal, community assembly and biogeography, and employs complementary approaches of macroecological field work, controlled lab experiments and data synthesis to study multi-scale questions in ecology.\n\nChaudhary is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award and advises on continent-scale biology for the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine.\n\nPrior to academia, Chaudhary worked as an environmental consultant in Los Angeles restoring drastically disturbed urban areas to create habitat for endangered species.\n\nShe is an award-winning advocate for antiracist strategies in STEM and the founder of WOCinEEB, an international organization for racial and gender minorities in ecology and evolutionary biology.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world, advance research and education, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS, where we explore scientific topics

Michigan whose research is motivated by broad access to affordable water.\n\nDrinking water treatment plants \u2014 originally designed to treat relatively clean surface waters \u2014 are now faced with increasing levels of biological and chemical contaminants. \n\nChlorination is a key process for controlling acute health risks. However, disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which pose chronic health risks such as bladder cancer, form as an unintended consequence of chlorination.\n\nSzczuka will examine nucleic acids as a missing link between pathogen control and byproduct formation. She also will discuss the roles of previously overlooked chlorine species in nucleic acid reactivity and viral inactivation, and the potential for nucleic acid chlorination to form an emerging class of DBPs.\n\nCollaborating with practitioners, Szczuka will talk about how utilities in Michigan are working to meet both biological and chemical contaminant treatment objectives in a changing climate.\n\nHer research uses fundamental chemistry and microbiology to inform treatment of non-traditional water sources to safeguard public health.

H. Waddington Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. I received my PhD from New York University and postdoctoral training at Princeton University. I joined Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor in 1991 and was appointed a Professor of Pathology in 2004. In 2009 I joined the Newborn Medicine Division of Boston Children\u2019s Hospital.\r\n\r\nI am interested in identifying key epigenetic regulators in cancer, elucidating their mechanism of action and providing the conceptual basis for translating our basic findings to the clinic via the development of new therapeutic strategies. With the discovery of the first histone methyl eraser, LSD1, in 2004, our group demonstrated that histone methylation is dynamically regulated, which overturned the long-held dogma that such modifications were static and irreversible. We have also discovered many additional histone demethylases with different specificities, and novel readers, including those that specifically recognize unmodified lysine and arginine and suggest that the unmodified states are not simply a ground neutral state of epigenetic information but rather likely code for epigenetic information as modified states. Importantly, many of these chromatin enzymes and readers have since been implicated in various types of human cancers, indicating an important role of chromatin regulation in tumorigenesis.\r\n\r\nMore recently, we have also been studying RNA modifications and how they impact gene expression regulation. In many ways this exciting field parallels the early days of chromatin biochemistry and biology, i.e., the nature and the biological and pathological functions of RNA modifications, as well as the enzymes responsible for writing, erasing and reading them, are just beginning to be understood.\r\n\r\nAt Ludwig Oxford, my lab is focusing on two questions. First, how to convert \u201ccold tumors to \u201chot\u201d and how to sustain durable responses to cancer immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Second, how to induce therapeutic differentiation of cancers, using acute myeloid leukemia and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma as models where chromatin\/epigenetics have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance of a poorly differentiated state.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143395-21893072@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143395", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":null, "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Basic Science","basic sciences","biolgical chemistry","biological chemistry","biological science","Biology","Biosciences","Bsbsigns","cancer","Chemistry","Discussion","epilepsy","Faculty","Free","genetics","genome","genomics","human genetics","Human Genetics, Genetics, Epidemiology","Human Genetics, Genetics, Neurogenetic Diseases","Information and Technology","lecture","Life Science","lifton","Medicine","Natural Sciences","neel","neurological disease","Postdoctoral Research Fellows","Public Health","Public Policy","Reception","research","Science","seminar","sodium channel","symposium"], "website":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/events?f%5B0%5D=series%3A13266", "title":"Human Genetics Research Seminar Series" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Human Genetics", "group_id":"1137", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143395\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893072 } , { "id":"148155-21903163", "datetime_modified":"20260507T144558", "datetime_start":"20260916T170000", "datetime_end":"20260916T190000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-16", "date_end":"2026-09-16", "time_start":"17:00:00", "time_end":"19:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Shakespearean Studies Biannual Lecture in Honor of Barbara Hodgdon", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Shakespearean Studies Biannual Lecture in Honor of Barbara Hodgdon: Guest Speaker Andrew Hartley aka AJ Hartley", "event_subtitle":"Guest Speaker Andrew Hartley aka AJ Hartley", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Details forthcoming\n\nAbout the speaker:\nAndrew James Hartley is Emeritus professor in UNC Charlotte\u2019s Department of Theatre in which he served as the Russell Robinson Distinguished Professor of Shakespeare studies for 18 years, specializing in performance theory and practice.

In keeping with the tradition of the Wallenberg Lecture, Jozef will draw on her personal experience to share with the audience her understanding of how one person can make a difference.\n\nGuerline M. Jozef, a servant leader rooted in faith, is a globally recognized human rights advocate, thought leader, and strategist who has worked to transform the conversation on migration, race, and justice. Jozef is the executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), a Haitian-American-women-led organization serving immigrants, with a particular focus on Black immigrants at the US-Mexico border and beyond. With the HBA, she has built a movement that centers people of African descent in migration while amplifying the voices of the most marginalized. She is the creator of \u201cTales from the Borderlands and Beyond,\u201d and co-founder of both the Black Immigrants Bail Fund (BIBF) and the Cameroon Advocacy Network.\n\nHer influence has been recognized nationally and internationally. She was named one of the Washingtonian\u2019s 500 Most Influential People of 2025, one of Politico\u2019s 40 Most Influential People on Race, Politics, and Policy of 2021, and one of the BBC\u2019s Top 100 Women of 2024. She was honored with the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora IMPACT Award from the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance (CariPhil), the 2021 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, the AFL-CIO\u2019s 2024 GMLK Human Rights Award, the 2024 Haitian Impact Awards, and the 2023 Midwin Charles Legacy Award from the 1804 Haitian Roundtable. She has been recognized by the Women\u2019s Refugee Commission (Voices of Courage Award, 2024), The Haitian Times (Newsmaker of the Year, 2022), the National Haitian-American Elected Officials Network, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association\u2019s Arthur C. Helton Human Rights Award among others.\n\nMs. Jozef has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, Time Magazine, The Miami Herald, The Haitian Times, Politico, and DemocracyNow. She has testified before the United Nations, the United States Congress, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), and recently brought her advocacy to the international stage during the IV International Forum of Parlamentarians in Barranquilla, Colombia. Guerline went to the border for Haitians\u2014but she stayed for everyone seeking safety and protection. \n\n\u201cGuerline Jozef is a powerful advocate for the dignity and rights of migrants who has linked the experience of migration at the US-Mexico border to global human rights movements. She works tirelessly to give voice to the marginalized and to shape a more just future for all,\u201d said Sioban Harlow, chair of the Wallenberg Medal Executive Committee and Professor Emerita of Epidemiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Global Public Health.\n\nFree and open to the public.

with hardship without distancing or denial? Does laughter at misfortune manifest what Bergson called \u201ca momentary anesthesia of the heart\u201d\u2014or worse? This talk takes up a puzzle about confessional comedy: why isn\u2019t it vicious to draw pleasure from another\u2019s suffering, as we do when comics joke about trauma? The answer turns on the fine structure of empathy; and the upshot is a theory of confessional stand-up as bespoke theodicy: a temporary, interpersonal solution to the emotional problem of evil. This solution is one we can administer to ourselves, using humour to confront adversity. Content note: violence and sexual assault.\n\nKieran Setiya is Peter de Florez Professor of Philosophy at MIT, where he works on ethics and related questions about human agency and human knowledge. He is the author of Reasons without Rationalism, Knowing Right From Wrong,Midlife: A Philosophical Guide and Life Is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way, which was selected as a Best Book of 2022 by The Economist and The New Yorker. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, the LA Review of Books, the TLS, the London Review of Books, the Boston Review, The Atlantic, Aeon, and The Yale Review, as well as numerous academic journals. He is working on a book about laughter as a guide to life.\n\nMore information about Kieran Setiya can be found here: http:\/\/www.ksetiya.net\/\n\nAbout the Tanner Lectures on Human Values\nMichigan is one of nine institutions worldwide that hosts an annual Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy, industrialist, and philanthropist, Obert Clark Tanner, and his wife, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public. The complete list of Tanner Lectures at Michigan is available here:
