Their outskirts contain a hidden ecosystem of faint stars and stellar systems that trace the history of their hierarchical growth through mergers --- one of the most important drivers of galaxy evolution. This dissertation aims to uncover this historical record and constrain the processes that govern galaxy formation and evolution across a wide range of mass scales, from Milky Way (MW)\u2013like systems to their ultra-faint dwarf companions. Although mergers can strongly influence the diversity of structural properties seen in galaxies, the resulting dynamical response often erases the observational markers needed to infer the characteristics of the merger. However, simulations show that material accreted into a galaxy is retained by its stellar halo, preserving a \"fossil record\" that we can trace with resolved-star observations. I present the deepest stellar halo map of the nearby galaxy M94, revealing that it has one of the smallest and most metal-poor stellar halos among MW-mass galaxies (M*=2.8x10^10 M\u2609, [M\/H] ~-1.4) and indicating that its dominant merger was with a galaxy less massive than the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). M94 also hosts the largest pseudobulge in the Local Universe, but this work suggests that it was shaped primarily by secular processes rather than by this dominant merger. I also illuminate the structural diversity of faint satellite galaxies around M81, finding among them the most compact (DWJ0954+6821), most concentrated (D1006+69, n ~ 5), and one of the most elliptical (D1009+68, \u03f5 ~ 0.57) dwarfs known in the Local Volume. This work improves on ground-based characterizations of these systems and reveals that all four satellites are metal-poor and quenched, with no evidence for tidal stripping despite their varied ellipticities. Lastly, I successfully demonstrate the feasibility of wide-field, multi-object fiber-fed spectroscopy in a low signal-to-noise regime for probing halo kinematics beyond the Local Group, presenting the first measurement of the line-of-sight (LOS) velocity and velocity dispersion of NGC 253's stellar halo. I find that the stellar halo exhibits prograde angular momentum and detect kinematic substructure coincident with its known southwestern shell, consistent with a recent accretion event. This work lays the foundation for conducting resolved stellar population science with next-generation observing facilities such as the Rubin Observatory, Roman Space Telescope, and the Extremely Large Telescope.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148013-21902844@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148013", "building_id":"1000198", "building_name":"Detroit Observatory", "campus_maps_id":"189", "room":"", "location_name":"Detroit Observatory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Astronomers","astronomy","Defense"], "website":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/9291182577", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Astronomy", "group_id":"1178", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "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":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902844 } , "148256-21903492": { "datetime_modified":"20260513T130858", "datetime_start":"20260522T100000", "datetime_end":"20260522T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-22", "date_end":"2026-05-22", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"June 1-10, 2026 MWF Course - Data Collection Using Wearables, Sensors, and Apps in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"June 1-10, 2026 MWF Course - Data Collection Using Wearables, Sensors, and Apps in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences: Heidi Guyer - RTI International", "event_subtitle":"Heidi Guyer - RTI International", "event_type":"Class \/ Instruction", "event_type_id":"8", "description":"June 1-10, 2026 MWF\n10:00am - 1:00pm\nA live course via Zoom.

Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application \u2014 entirely online.\n\nData Collection Using Wearables, Sensors, and Apps in the Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences\n\nThe recent proliferation of mobile technology allows researchers to collect objective health and behavioral data at increased intervals, in real time, and may also reduce participant burden. In this course, we will provide examples of the utility of and integration of wearables, sensors, and apps in research settings. Examples will include the use of wearable health devices to measure activity, apps for ecological momentary assessment, and smartphone sensors to measure sound and movement, among others. Additionally, this course will consider the integration of these new technologies into existing surveys and the quality of the data collected from the total survey error perspective. We will discuss considerations for assessing coverage, participation, and measurement error when integrating wearables, sensors, and apps in a research setting as well as the costs and privacy considerations when collecting these types of data. Participants will work in groups to discuss a research study design using new technology and have the opportunity for hands-on practice with sensor data.\n\nHeidi Guyer is Senior Public Health Research Scientist at RTI International.

So each week we'll suggest exercises covering prompting strategies, ClaudeCode, Skills\/MCPs, agentic workflows, and rigor and reproducibility. As a finale, for those that can attend, we'll hold a multi-day hackathon where we can work together to integrate what we've learned into resource for others.\n\nSchedule and Logistics\nWe'll meet every-other week on Fridays at 10-11am location 4B700, where the coordinates may vary depending on availability.\n\nFriday 5\/22\nFriday 6\/5\nFriday 6\/19\nFriday 7\/3\nHackathon 7\/15-17th\n\n* Each session we'll cover a paper journal as a journal club, and share what we learned about and through the AI tools.\n* For coordination and up-to-date information, please join the #summer-deep-reading-deep-learning channel on slack.\n\nExpectations:\nRead the paper and be curious", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148282-21903794@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148282", "building_id":"1000190", "building_name":"Medical Science Unit I", "campus_maps_id":"104", "room":"4B700", "location_name":"Medical Science Unit I", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Ai In Science And Engineering","Artificial Intelligence","Bioinformatics","Computational Science","Gen Ai","Hackathon"], "website":"https:\/\/medschool.umich.edu\/departments\/computational-medicine-bioinformatics\/summer-deep-reading-deep-learning-transformer-circuits", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics DCMB", "group_id":"5384", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148282_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":5, "first_occurrence":21903794 } , "148214-21903333": { "datetime_modified":"20260511T121921", "datetime_start":"20260522T110000", "datetime_end":"20260522T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-22", "date_end":"2026-05-22", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Supernova Cousins: Leveraging Galaxy-group Information to Improve Type Ia Supernova Cosmology", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Supernova Cousins: Leveraging Galaxy-group Information to Improve Type Ia Supernova Cosmology: Allison Blum (University of Hawaii at Manoa)", "event_subtitle":"Allison Blum (University of Hawaii at Manoa)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are a cornerstone of precision cosmology, but at low redshift their accuracy is increasingly limited by systematic uncertainties. This has gained urgency with recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument suggesting possible cracks in the standard cosmological model, including evolving dark energy. Among the dominant systematics are peculiar velocities, which are tied to large-scale structure and environmental effects, which are linked to galaxy evolution. Peculiar velocities have been studied through models of the velocity field and galaxy groups and clusters, while environmental effects have been probed using rare \"supernova siblings,\" multiple SNe Ia within the same host galaxy. These approaches, however, focus on either the motions of galaxies or the environment that these SNe go off in, but not both at the same time. In this talk, I introduce \"supernova cousins\": SNe Ia in different galaxies within the same group or cluster, thereby combining both effects. Using a sample of 1,086 low-z SNe Ia from ATLAS, we construct a sample of 93 SN Cousins. With this sample, I compare distance scatter across environments and test the limits of how well we can use them to improve SN cosmology.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148214-21903333@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148214", "building_id":"1000208", "building_name":"Randall Laboratory", "campus_maps_id":"133", "room":"3246", "location_name":"Randall Laboratory", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Faculty","Free","Physics"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/physics", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "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":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21903333 } , "138032-21903377": { "datetime_modified":"20260511T181505", "datetime_start":"20260522T110000", "datetime_end":"20260522T190000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-22", "date_end":"2026-05-22", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"19:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions, performances, and events, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project, Byrne, Clegg, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response, they\u2019ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich\u2019s famous \u201crock\u201d to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950\u2019s, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest, creativity, and ritual, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as \u201cFordite\u201d (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called \u2018Detroit agate\u2019), Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed, sculpted, sealed, assembled, and macro-photographed, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement, expression, coherence, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged, photographed, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements\/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history, popular culture, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP\/Journal, BOMB Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website \/ Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions, installations, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design, and is grounded in the concept of the \u201ccommons,\u201d that which is shared, as well as that which is ordinary, banal, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.
