There is a deep analogy between Bayesian inference — where we try to fit a model to data, which has a ground-truth structure partly hidden by noise — and statistical physics. Many concepts like energy landscapes, free energy, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability, combinatorics, and theoretical computer science. At their best, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.

One recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs, review what is known rigorously, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

Water risks in agriculture supply chains: Material impacts and mitigation strategies from the food and beverage industry (April 19, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62565 62565-15405803@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 19, 2019 3:30pm

In the face of mounting stresses on global water supplies, food and beverage companies are increasingly exposed to financial risks associated with their reliance on water-intensive agricultural commodities. Droughts, floods, eutrophication, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system, but they also pose physical, regulatory, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative, others have stagnated, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.

Jacob London is an Associate at Ceres, a Boston-based non-profit organization advocating for sustainable investment, business practices, and public policy. As part of the Water & Agriculture program, his work aims to mobilize food and beverage companies to address water risks in their agricultural supply chains. In this role he conducts research to improve investors' understanding of the financial risks associated with global water stress, and supports shareholder engagements focused on water and agriculture. He is the co-author of the forthcoming edition of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty: How the Food Sector is Managing Global Water Risks, due for release in September 2019.

Deep vein thrombosis, defined as blood clots forming in veins beneath muscles in the body, is the third most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. The standard treatment of deep vein thrombosis involves using anticoagulants to stop clot progression but is only successful in 2/3 of patients because the composition of the clot changes over time. The standard diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and determination of the age of the thrombus are based on the patient’s timeline of when these symptoms appeared. With use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), thrombus progression can be studied non-invasively from the acute to chronic stage. The aims of this work are to apply a Gaussian mixture model to multiparametric MRI of preclinical thrombi and determine whether spatial correlations exist with composition by histology.

Thrombosis was induced in 30 12-week-old mice divided into three groups and imaged at either acute, sub-chronic, or chronic time points. The multiparametric MRI volumes consisted of T1-, T2-, and T2*-weighted images. The MRI volume for each mouse was normalized, and the thrombus was segmented. The T1, T2, and T2* intensities at each location were input into a Gaussian mixture model. Following image acquisition, tissue samples were acquired and stained for Martius scarlet blue trichrome to examine red blood cell, collagen, and fibrin content in each thrombus.

To analyze each Gaussian mixture model region, qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed by comparing the Gaussian mixture model results with the paired histology. 2D correlation values between the Gaussian mixture model tissue class and histological composition revealed that the first cluster class correlated with red blood cells (p < 0.05), and the second cluster class correlated with fibrin and collagen (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that spatial correlations exist between the classification of multiparametric MRI data and corresponding histology. With the aforementioned methods and results from each study, we are able to move one step closer with assisting healthcare providers in optimizing treatments for patients with deep vein thrombosis.

The purpose of this dissertation is to advance the development of a drug-loaded polymeric scaffold for bone tissue engineering as a promising synthetic substitute for autologous bone grafts. While still considered the reference standard for treatment of large volume bone injuries, autologous grafts are limited in their clinical applications by donor site morbidity, limited tissue availability, and potential for graft failure. The clinical use of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) as bone graft substitutes has resulted in serious side effects due in part to the supraphysiologic dose of BMP required for adequate healing. New approaches to treating these large volume injuries are needed. Our proposed strategy utilizes tissue engineering and drug delivery concepts to develop synthetic drug-loaded biomimetic scaffolds for bone regeneration.

To enhance the osteogenic potential of synthetic scaffolds, we sought to simultaneously deliver two growth factors: recombinant human BMP-7 and recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). We first established an in vitro cell culture model using rabbit mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate and optimize the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment in combination with BMP-7 as a basis for our in vivo studies. We subsequently encapsulated the growth factors in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanospheres with tailored release patterns for each factor. Low molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate FGF-2 in fast releasing nanospheres while high molecular weight PLGA was used to encapsulate BMP-7 in slow releasing nanospheres. We found that FGF-2 augmented BMP-7-directed ectopic bone formation in a subcutaneous mouse model, and that the synergistic effect was dependent on the dose and duration of FGF-2 treatment. We also found that FGF-2 may contribute to enhanced bone formation due to its effects on cell migration and proliferation, as well as its angiogenic and osteogenic effects.

We then established an in vitro model to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells in 2D monolayer and 3D culture on novel nanofibrous spongy microsphere scaffold (NF-SMS). We used a similar PLGA-based drug delivery system to control the release kinetics of FGF-2 and BMP-7 and conjugated drug-loaded PLGA nanospheres to the injectable NF-SMS scaffold. In a critical size cranial defect mouse model, low dose FGF-2 combined with BMP-7 enhanced bone regeneration over BMP-7 alone.

Lastly, we sought to better understand the crosstalk between the FGF-2 and BMP-7 signaling pathways through a series of experiments to measure the effect of FGF-2 on canonical BMP signaling in mouse calvarial osteoblasts. We identified a potential new link between these signaling pathways and propose a new mechanism by which FGF-2 signaling modulates BMP receptor activity, enhancing the phosphorylation of R-Smad1/5/9 proteins.

This research elucidates the criteria for achieving synergy between BMP-7 and FGF-2 through relevant in vitro and in vivo models. It provides guidelines for future development of biomimetic scaffolds with controlled release of multiple relevant biological cues to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy among women in the US, responsible for 14,000 deaths per year, and five-year survival rate of 25%. Within the primary and metastatic microenvironments in the ovary, peritoneal ascites and omentum, the ovarian cancer cells are subject to several mechanical stresses, including compressive stresses generated by uncontrolled cell growth in a confining space, increased tissue stiffness due to tumor cell extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and increased interstitial fluid pressure due to the angiogenic growth of new leaky blood vessels. However, current models to study these stimuli within the ovarian tumor microenvironment are lacking in biophysical cues, relevant extracellular matrix dynamics and the ability to consistently sustain cells through the detachment process. The absence of consistent optimization of matrix composition and degradation mechanics also leads to occurrences of increased cytolysis during in vitro experimentation. In order to meet this critical unmet need, my Master’s thesis is focused on developing extracellular matrices that feature comparable consistent compositional, structural and mechanical cues. Additionally, these matrices facilitate biophysical modulation to be applicable over a wider range in a manner that allows for improved experimental precision. Given the range of matrix stiffness, permeability and porosity, I have developed and characterized hydrogels for designing extracellular mimics for ovarian cancer mechanotransduction studies.

In this work, I highlight the need for optimization of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels’ homogeneity, thereby providing uniform adhesion during mechano-transduction experiments. Further, I optimized cell harvesting via thorough cell detachment without causing cytolysis for downstream analysis including, flow cytometry on detached cells. Moreover, I have characterized the rheologic, transport and structural properties of IPN hydrogels, and demonstrate how these can account for variation in experimental results. Overall, my thesis provides insight into the significance of hydrogel matrix composition when constructing cell scaffolds for specific cellular microenvironments.

Owing to their success as natural hydrogel scaffolds, I utilized alginate and agarose to design the ovarian cancer extracellular matrices. Within these networks, collagen served as the second component of the IPN network, providing an anchoring fibrillar network for the cells within the otherwise non-fibrillar material, and further enhancing the biocompatibility of the scaffold. I varied the IPN hydrogel composition to demonstrate a relevant range structural and mechanical properties. Further, I characterized the homogeneity, morphology, fiber structure, stiffness, gelation time, permeability and porosity of IPN hydrogels. Lastly, I evaluated ovarian cancer cells for cellular function post-harvest from IPN hydrogels, to demonstrate successful detachment and degradation of the surrounding matrix.

The results of this study enable tailoring of the IPN hydrogel extracellular matrices according to required mechanical, structural, and biophysical parameters for not only ovarian cancer, but also other originating tissues for improved robustness and reliability of the in vitro cancer bioengineering models.

Human skin plays vital roles in both the sensory system and thermoregulation, and also provides an important line of defense for the body from the external environment. However, experimental methods that enable in vivo characterization of this multi-layered organ are currently lacking. Soft tissue artificial phantoms can be used to diagnose certain skin diseases or to validate the efficacy of medical procedures. This study proposes a non-invasive method to obtain three-dimensional displacement measurements of soft tissue using suction and digital image correlation. We developed a measurement device capable of applying suction loading while capturing images of the full-field deformation of the area of interest. Soft tissue phantoms were fabricated, and a temporary speckle pattern was applied to each surface to provide unique features required for image correlation. A soft tissue phantom with less stiff inclusions of various diameters and a 3D printed ellipsoid was prepared. Analysis was performed using an open-source software, DICe, and both peak displacement and pressure were further parameterized for comparison metrics. The stiffness of each material was validated by comparison to each other and a hard surface. The softer inclusions were not detected, however, the material with inclusions behaved differently than the control, indicating an overall change in material properties. Preliminary results support the use of the parameterizations as comparison metrics and demonstrate the successful application of 3D-DIC to measure deformation of a surface under suction loading. The device can be modified in the future to enable measurement of surfaces with larger contours or smaller regions of interest. The compact design of the instrument permits data collection in a range of environmental conditions outside of the lab, facilitating experiments that are currently not possible.

Community-engaged teaching has important implications for the development of cross-cultural awareness and positively impacts campus climate as students, faculty and community members collaborate across differences. Developing truly mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships requires taking a critical look at how power and privilege are embedded in these relationships and preparing our students effectively for this work. Purposeful course design, student preparation and ethical partnering are all crucial for moving toward positive community impact while promoting student learning.
In this session co-facilitated by experts from LSA’s Community-Engaged Academic Learning (CEAL) and the Edward Ginsberg Center, we will discuss key principles and promising practices to promote student learning *and* mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships when developing effective community-engaged courses. Participants will begin applying these ideas to their own courses, so please bring a course idea or description. This session is designed for faculty, staff or graduate student instructors planning to teach or currently teaching a community-engaged course.

This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

Despite the significant functional limitations imposed by upper limb loss, little research has focused on quantifying the functional success and satisfaction of prosthesis users. Most existing evidence comes from surveys, rather than experimental outcomes. Without a quantitative baseline, it is difficult to know where to focus attention for improvement in future prosthesis designs or to demonstrate whether new designs offer advantages over existing technologies. Thus, the goal of this dissertation was to quantify how functional outcomes and satisfaction relate to the type of prosthesis used.

The first aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects embodiment, or the extent to which prosthesis users perceived their prosthesis to be part of their body. We quantified embodiment for body-powered (BP) and myoelectric (MYO) prosthesis users based on a survey and two objective measurements of body schema and peripersonal space. Although BP users reported a stronger sense of agency over their prostheses in comparison to MYO users, other measures did not consistently differentiate experiences of embodiment based on prosthesis type. However, measurements of body schema varied depending on the cause of limb loss.

The second aim was to determine if prosthesis type impacts movement quality during activities of daily living. As an initial step for this aim, we quantified the reliability of movement quality metrics (three measures of smoothness and one measure of straightness) in healthy adults performing a variety of different tasks. Based on these findings, we then compared movement quality in BP and MYO prosthesis users during a subset of tasks (moving a can from a low shelf to a high shelf, placing a pill in a pillbox, and placing a pushpin in a bulletin board) using the metrics that had the highest reliability. All movements were slower when performed with MYO prostheses, except for the reaching phase of the pill task. Object manipulation movements were consistently less smooth when performed with MYO prostheses. However, differences in curvature of the reaching movements between the prosthesis types varied across tasks.

The third aim was to determine if prosthesis type affects kinematic compensations during activities of daily living. We quantified lateral lean, axial rotation, and flexion of the trunk during the same three activities of daily living. The range of motion was greater in all directions for BP prostheses during each task—except axial rotation and flexion during the pin task, which were greater for MYO prostheses.

The fourth aim was to explore the factors associated with interest in noninvasive (myoelectric) and invasive (targeted muscle reinnervation, peripheral nerve interfaces, cortical interfaces) interfaces for prosthesis control. An online survey collected opinions from 232 individuals with upper limb loss on the interfaces. Relationships between interest in the interfaces and demographics, limb loss characteristics, and prosthesis use history were defined using bivariate analysis and logistic regression. There was increased interest in the invasive interfaces among individuals who were younger, had unilateral limb loss, or had acquired limb loss.

Taken together, these aims suggest that BP prostheses may promote embodiment and smooth movement, while MYO prostheses may minimize compensatory movement. Although emerging prosthesis technologies requiring surgical intervention may not be accepted by all individuals with upper limb loss, functional outcomes with these technologies should be compared to outcomes with existing BP and MYO prostheses to demonstrate the relative merits of each design.

The origin of structure in the proton still evades a detailed description by first-principles calculations. Instead, the structure is extracted from global fits to its data. In proton-proton collisions, the current extraction procedure relies on our ability to independently describe each proton. It has been predicted, however, that correlations between two protons prohibit an independent description of each proton in certain scattering processes. These correlations may provide a powerful source of insight into the origin of collective structures in strongly-bound few-body systems. In this talk, I will explain how to probe these correlations and present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab in Long Island, New York. Measurements are also planned by the LHCb experiment at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

Weyl semimetals lie at the intersection of strongly correlated materials and materials with nontrivial spin-orbit coupling. These topological materials have attracted a lot of interest in the last several years because of their wide variety of novel properties and resulting potential applications. In this talk, I will begin by presenting a brief overview of the unique band structure and topology of these materials. Then I will go on to examine a couple of their nonlinear optical properties and highlight past and proposed experiments to further explore this novel state of matter.

Many physicists see biology as very complex and messy, and often it is. Certain problems in biology, though, serve as an elegant playground for physicists to develop quantitative AND predictive models. For example, problems in biology in which cells generate forces to perform some function allow physicists to make ourselves useful to biologists, our collaborators. In this talk, I will take you on a journey from the retinae of juvenile zebrafish to the outer tissue layer of developing mammalian embryos. In juvenile zebrafish, the cone photoreceptors in retinae form a precise crystalline lattice based on subtype (i.e., sensitivity to different wavelengths of light). We find that the defects in this lattice form lines, called grain boundaries, as the pattern forms, not by subsequent defect motion. Based on this observation, we propose a model in which cells of fixed fate (i.e., subtype) contact their neighbors of the same subtype, generating active forces for building the crystal. From there, I will take you to an example in which cell fate is not fixed. In this stem cell culture system, without any imposed chemical gradients and in the absence of many known endogenous gradients, cells of initially unspecified fate differentiate into two types, with one type localized to a ring at the boundary. We propose a model for this system in which mechanical stress biases fate and fate determines contractility. The role of cell-cell contacts and mechanics in pattern formation in developing tissues remains poorly understood. Luckily for us physicists, these problems provide endless intellectual stimulation.

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) have become a widely-appreciated tool to measure the correlation build-up in space and time, and hence quantitatively characterize information scrambling in interacting many-body systems. Started off as a theoretical tool to understand quantum information in a black hole its impact quickly expanded to a wide variety of subjects including quantum chaos, many-body localization, quantum integrability and recently symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions. After giving a short introduction to information scrambling and out-of-time-order correlators, I will talk about the emergent relation between symmetry breaking quantum phase transitions and the information scrambling. I will introduce a new theoretical tool to study the physics encoded in an OTOC: dynamical decomposition method. I will show how this tool lets us analytically see the reasons and the mechanism of dynamical detection of symmetry-broken quantum phases via OTOCs. Based on the studies in literature and our numerical results in XXZ-model, our method seems to be universal in explaining the reasoning behind the relation between scrambling and the quantum criticality. If time permits, I will talk about an interesting numerical observation that led us to find a relation between the topological order (in 1D superconductor) at zero temperature and the OTOCs at infinite temperature.

Despite its postulation in the 1930s and discovery in the 1950s, very little is known about the neutrino, a neutral fundamental particle with thousands of times less mass than the electron that can potentially answer some of the biggest questions in physics. MicroBooNE, an 85-active-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) experiment located at Fermilab in Batavia, IL, seeks to answer one such question: whether more than three types of neutrinos exist. Additionally, MicroBooNE is a means to study neutrino-argon scattering and perform R&D for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a large-scale LArTPC set to take data in the mid-2020s. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of neutrinos before describing MicroBooNE and its public physics results to date.

Photosynthesis is a vital process that forms the basis of most life and energy sources on the planet. The knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of charge and energy transfer involved in this process can be used to develop artificial light-harvesting systems and biofuels, helping us to meet our own energy needs. In this talk, I will discuss how we use fluorescence-detection-based two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (F-2DES) to study the energy transfer in light-harvesting (LH2, in particular) complexes present in photosynthetic purple bacteria. Due to long acquisition times, photobleaching effects during the 2D measurements can distort the features of the acquired spectra. Motivated by the desire to reduce these effects without sacrificing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we have adapted a rapid-scanning approach to record the linear spectra of the complexes in question. I will discuss the technique and results from the same. Extending this rapid-scanning technique to F-2DES promises reduced acquisition times and improved SNR for the 2D spectra.

Title: Interaction Reconstruction in Digital 3-D CdZnTe Under Various Circumstances

Chair: Zhong He

Abstract: Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is a semiconductor material that has attracted wide attention in the field of radiation detector in recent years. With the improvements in crystal growth, electrode design and readout electronics, the performance of CdZnTe detectors has been improving and approaching HPGe detectors without the requirements of cryogenic cooling. This work attempts to extend the application of CdZnTe detectors in multiple dimensions by addressing different challenges.

The advancements in digital readout systems enables more accurate information extraction from the CdZnTe detectors. Improvements were made on the measurement of electron mobility-lifetime product in 3-D CdZnTe detectors using more suitable filtering methods.

Though CdZnTe detectors can be operated at room temperature, the front-end devices still need to be temperature-regulated because the electronic gain as well as the electron transport property changes with temperature. The regulation requires extra power consumption, and impedes development of hand-held CdZnTe detector devices. In this work, the effect of temperature change on digital CdZnTe systems was studied in detail. In addition, practical algorithms were developed to correct for the systematic changes with varying temperature in both material and electronics.
Fast neutron damage in high-performance, 3-D sensitive CdZnTe detectors were studied. 3-D CdZnTe detectors showed significant performance degradation after neutron damage. The annealing process of neutron damage was studied both at room temperature and 80 oC. The annealing was significantly accelerated at higher temperatures. The detectors' performance was recoverable after annealing.
The usage of digital CdZnTe detector systems was extended to measurement of gamma rays in the above-3 MeV range. Pair-production double-escape event peaks were clearly resolved. Resolution degradation mechanisms in 3-D CdZnTe for gamma-ray interactions in this energy range were studied.

AE Dissertation Defense: "Model Order Reduction for Aeroelastic Analysis of Very Flexible Aircraft" (August 12, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64997 64997-16501298@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, August 12, 2019 1:00pm

Renato Rebouças de Medeiros

With increasing requirements for lower emissions and costs, next-generation transport aircraft are poised to deal with high aspect ratio wings. Long lightweight structures are very flexible, and this fact brings new challenges to the aeroelastic analysis. Time-domain simulation of these nonlinear systems is desirable to analyze their aeroelastic behavior over the flight envelope.

In the structural end, while simplified methods exist to model long wings with equivalent beams, essential details can only be captured with built-up finite element models. Unfortunately, these models are expensive and non-robust for extensive dynamic simulations. This dissertation builds upon previous efforts to develop nonlinear modal reduced-order models (ROMs). Training these models requires the fitting of nonlinear stiffness and displacements from static solutions. The newly introduced Enhanced Implicit Condensation and Expansion (EnICE) method accounts for the contribution of nonlinear motion to inertia forces during dynamic simulations.

The EnICE approach was integrated into the computational fluid dynamics code CFL3D for high-fidelity aeroelastic analyses. An aerodynamic ROM was developed based on convolution corrected by a nonlinear factor obtained from steady solutions. For additional speedup, the Method of Segments provides these correction factors. The aeroelastic tool arising from the two reduced-order models simulates large displacements, taking into account structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities.

Bicycling is an important component of future mobility for its economic, environmental, and health benefits. However, the safety issues of riding a bicycle on roadways with mixed traffic have been a major concern.

This talk covers a number of recent research projects that utilize naturalistic driving data and naturalistic cycling data to (1) examine and understand the interactions between motorists and bicyclists, and (2) support the development of automated vehicles so that they can safely interact with bicyclists on the road. The outcomes of the work could be used to support the designs of better road infrastructures, testing and benchmarking automated driving technologies, and support laws and regulations that aim to improve the safety of all road users.

Fred Feng is an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering at UM-Dearborn. His research interests include behavioral data analytics, human factors, cognitive ergonomics, and human-machine interaction.

Location: Duderstadt Center
Organized By: Engineering Career Resource Center

The ECRC is hosting a Career Day for Atomic Object on Tuesday, September 10, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the Duderstadt Connector.

Career Day Description:
Become a Junior Developer at Atomic Object and do more with your first two years post-grad. You'll outpace your peers as you write production code in your first month, work side-by-side with industry veterans, and gain soft skills it will take others years to acquire. Atomic will also invest in your career through the Accelerator program.

WHAT'S THE ACCELERATOR?
The Atomic Accelerator is an accelerated professional development program for newly-graduated developers who join Atomic Object each spring.

WHY JOIN THE ACCELERATOR?

YOU'LL HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.
This is not a glorified internship. You'll join our team as a full-fledged Atom, with the same benefits, pay scale, and responsibilities as other Atoms—including working on real software projects for Atomic clients.

YOU'LL JOIN A TEAM WITHIN A TEAM.
Become part of the Accelerator team, a small group of new grads learning and working together. You'll also connect with the larger Atomic team and spend time with senior company leaders.

YOU'LL GET COACHED FOR SUCCESS.
Dive into a guided curriculum that will polish your consultant skills and teach you to make problem-solving software for our clients. You'll also get weekly coaching and feedback from experienced Atoms.

YOU'LL KEEP ON LEARNING.
Attend a development conference each year, plus local events and user groups. Atomic is serious about ongoing learning and contributing to the larger development community.

YOU'LL JUMP START YOUR CAREER.
Get ahead in your career by joining a consultancy, where you'll work directly with clients and use new platforms/languages every 4-6 months. You'll quickly gain a larger knowledge base and professional network than your friends at product companies.

YOU'LL BECOME AN ATOM.
Join a tight-knit group of makers working in an atmosphere of friendship, collaboration, and respect. Atomic is a transparent, employee-owned company that takes great care of its employees. We're also making the software community stronger, smarter, and more diverse.

HOW TO JOIN

REQUIREMENTS:
To qualify for the Accelerator, you must be:
Graduating with a Computer Science or related Bachelor's degree.
Willing to work from Atomic's Ann Arbor office.
Positive, curious, and ready to work hard and learn a lot.
A strong communicator.
Team-oriented—eager to work side-by-side with designers, clients, and other developers.

APPLICATION PROCESS:
To apply for the Atomic Accelerator, you'll need to participate in the Atomic Games (October 25 & 28). The Games are a programming competition for college students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related program.

For the Atomic Games, we’ve created an exciting turn-based game. We will provide the game and an artificial intelligence implementation for participants to play against. The game will coordinate moves between two AI engines, invoking an engine with the current game state and expecting the engine to return its next move in a reasonable amount of time. Participants will create an artificial intelligence algorithm, then face off against one another for the chance to win $500. During the Games, Atomic will be on the lookout for people to join our team in 2020 as full-time developers.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
We have little control over our environment and the challenges that come our way. But there is something we can do about our internal environment: the state of our mind, our ability to handle challenges, and bounce back. In this session, Seppälä will explore different empirically validated techniques to improve our emotional intelligence, our social connection, and our ability to endure and thrive no matter what comes our way.

Emma Seppälä, PhD is Science Director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and the author of The Happiness Track (HarperOne, 2016). She is Co-Director of the Yale College Emotional Intelligence Project at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and Faculty Director of the Yale School of Management’s Women’s Leadership Program.

She has also been a repeat guest on Good Morning America.

There is an increasing body of literature on understanding the process of evacuation, and it focuses both on people's behavior and emergency management. We need to consider aspects of interaction among people under nonotice disaster for planning with evacuation demand. This seminar examines the effect of social interaction on discrete choice during the network formation process. The primary objective is to evaluate influence on risk regarding from others in greater detail while considering how influencers and network structures affect one-to-one interactions. This talk examines an analytical framework for simultaneous evaluation of social interaction and social network formation. The framework is well suited to dynamic disaster situations because local interaction heavily influences human decision-making, and because network formation changes over time.

Background Music vs. Neorealist Music: The Case of THE BICYCLE THIEF (September 12, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63845 63845-15937541@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 12, 2019 4:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

Italian filmic neorealism was more an ethic than an esthetic; it was not an organized movement but a constellation of directors and films who made a virtue of necessity. Nonetheless, in hindsight it has come to be defined by its stylistic innovations (for example, the use of location rather than studio, and of non-professional actors). As a result, the critical bibliography on the topic deals extensively with individual films, the auteurs, and with matters of form and content (the introduction of the perspective of the subaltern classes), the contribution of the musical score to the emotional and intellectual impact of the films has been given much less attention.
The purpose of this paper is that of beginning to address that lacuna.

Joseph Francese is University Distinguished Faculty at Michigan State University, Series Editor of “Studi di italianistica moderna e contemporanea nel mondo anglofono/Studies in Modern and Contemporary Italianistica in the Anglophone World” (a monograph series published by Firenze University Press) and Senior Editor emeritus of ITALIAN CULTURE (2003-2018). He is the author of numerous articles and chapters on topics in Renaissance and contemporary literature and film (including an essay on the influence of Cesare Zavattini on Latin American cinema), and has written monographs on Sciascia, Pasolini, postmodern narrative, Italian cultural politics in the 1950s, and the fictions of Eco, Consolo, and Tabucchi.

MIPSE Seminar | Simulation-Guided Design of a MegaJoule Dense Plasma Focus (September 18, 2019 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65588 65588-16619786@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 18, 2019 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a relatively compact coaxial plasma gun which completes its discharge as a Z-pinch. These devices have been designed to operate at a variety of scales in to produce short (<100 ns) pulses of ions, X-rays, or neutrons. LLNL has recently constructed and brought into operation a new device, the MJOLNIR (MegaJouLe Neutron Imaging Radiography) DPF which is designed for radiography and high yield operations. This device has been commissioned over the last year and has achieved neutron yields up to 9x10^11 neutrons/pulse at 2.2 MA pinch current while operating at up to 1 MJ of stored energy. MJOLNIR is equipped with a wide range of diagnostics, including activation foils, neutron time of flight detectors, a fast framing camera, optical light gates, and a time-gated neutron and x-ray imager. LLNL also runs unique particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of DPF in the Chicago code, and has been able to gain significant insight into the physical factors that influence neutron yield. To that end, MJOLNIR is one of the first DPFs whose design and continual upgrades are heavily influenced by predictive modeling. In this presentation, we will describe insights from modeling, device operation, and recent results. Preliminary x-ray and neutron images will also be presented.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Andrea Schmidt is group leader of the Plasma Engineering Group and Associate Program Lead for Pulsed Power Fusion Plasmas at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). She received her Ph.D. in Physics from MIT and her BS in Physics from the U. of California/Berkeley. She joined LLNL as a postdoctoral researcher in 2011 and joined the staff in 2013. As a postdoc, Schmidt was involved in electrical grid research, and modeling the dense plasma focus (DPF) device. She performed the first kinetic modeling of a DPF, demonstrating that a particle approach was needed to capture beam formation and neutron yield. She is now leading several projects in DPF research including the development of a large MJ-class DPF experiment built for flash neutron radiography. Schmidt also led modeling and experimental efforts for magnetron sputtering and was part of a team investigating a shear-flow-stabilized z-pinch configuration for controlled fusion.

Images are intimate. They are reflections of historical subjects that simultaneously reveal traces of their creators and gain new meanings when archived and revisited. This workshop features graduate student research on Afro-Brazilian community magazines and racialized political scandals in Brazil, jazz photography in the Jim Crow United States, and Jewish refugees from Europe in British India. Panelists will explore how images have been used to test or challenge racial categories, empower communities, and capture or instrumentalize intimate spaces and moments. We invite the speakers and the audience to share reflections on their own methodologies and experiences of interrogating visual sources.

Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Mechanical Engineering

Speaker: Amy Marconnet - Associate Professor at Purdue University

Abstract
Nanostructuring material s allows independent control of multiple material s properties. High conductivity material s such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices, while low conductivity material s like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving
highly-transient heat fluxes, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality, multiples material s are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example, in lithium-ion batteries, the particulate active material s (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and
control thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved material s and device performance.

Bio
Amy Marconnet i s an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. She received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wi Wisconsin – Madison in 2007, and an M.S. and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in 2009 and 2012, respectively. She then worked briefly as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining the faculty at Purdue University in 2013. Research in the Marconnet Thermal and
Energy Conversion (MTEC) Lab integrates metrology and analysis of underlying transport mechanisms with design and development of nanostructured material s for heat transfer and energy conversion applications.

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore a range of strategies for exploiting the rich array of ways you can use TED Talks to take your advanced English to the next level. We will look at resources for improving speaking, listening, and pronunciation. Bring your laptop, tablet, or phone to try things out on your own device during the workshop.
