Copper is also essential for modern economies because it is required for the expansion of infrastructure such as wiring for electricity distribution and telecommunications, air conditioning and space heating, plumbing, industrial equipment, rail and public transportation systems, and vehicles. The presumption persists that the copper needed for all these purposes will continue to be available. Dr. Simon will discuss projected copper demand, realistic copper supply, including recycling, and the critical need to increase discovery rates to put new deposits into production.\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout the Speaker: Adam Simon, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences, LSA\r\n\r\nAdam Simon is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences in LSA. Simon's research group combines experiments with field and laboratory work to understand the chemical and physical processes affecting element mobility in geologic systems, with a particular emphasis on how nature concentrates metals in small volumes of Earth's crust to form mineral deposits. The Simon research group ultimately aims to improve genetic models for mineral deposit formation to ensure a sustainable supply of resources for our growing global population. Simon holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Maryland and was a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University.\r\n\r\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \r\nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity for U-M faculty, staff, and students interested in water, and water-interested people in southeast Michigan to connect with colleagues, learn about pressing and\/or emerging water-related issues, and meet new partners.\r\n\r\nThis academic year, we are excited to explore the intersection of water + energy and what this nexus means to U-M researchers, institutes, and external partners.

Inspired by resilient activities in ecology and other non-engineering fields in responding to and recovering from catastrophic adverse events, the research objective is to adapt resilience to engineering design and operation domains in order to create failure resilient energy systems. To realize engineered resilience, a new paradigm for engineering design under uncertainty is developed, which enables concurrent development of reliable system functions and proactive prognosis of function failures. Failure prognosis plays an important role in realizing engineered resilience since it detects, diagnoses, and predicts system-wide effects of adverse events, therefore enables a proactive approach to deal with system failures. This talk will introduce the resilience concept and system design and operational challenges, and then present recent advances achieved in design, especially under different scenarios when data related to system failures is rare or abundantly but indirectly available. Practical engineering applications on battery energy storage systems at different scales will be used to demonstrate the advances. \r\n\r\nBio: Dr. Pingfeng Wang is currently a professor and holds the Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Scholar and the Jerry S.

We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values; b) Selective inference procedures; c) Backtesting risk measures; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \r\n\r\n*Lecture 2, November 19, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion, insurance propensity, and choice under dependence*\r\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\r\n\r\n*Lecture 3, November 20, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\r\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\r\n\r\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo.
