Location: Lurie Robert H. Engin. Ctr
Organized By: CRLT-Engin

What can we do to move our students beyond a “plug and chug” numerical competency to a deeper, conceptual understanding of formulae? In this session, instructors will learn about backwards design and the value of “beginning with the end in mind.” Instructors will then practice writing learning goals to target a common student misconceptions in their field, guided by research about discipline-specific bottlenecks.

Carbon Mineralization in Fractured Basalt (January 29, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70027 70027-17497483@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 29, 2020 12:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The need to meet rising energy demands while mitigating climate change driven by associated CO2 emissions has motivated the development of geologic carbon storage systems. Until recently, most research focused on sedimentary reservoirs that rely primarily on short-term solubility and physical trapping mechanisms, where CO2 can migrate if structural security is compromised. This inherent leakage risk could be eliminated by leveraging the natural reactivity of basalt reservoirs, which are abundant in silicate minerals that dissolve rapidly under acidic conditions and can ultimately trap dissolved CO2 as solid carbonate minerals. However, our fundamental understanding of the conditions under which CO2 mineralization occurs and its viability as a permanent carbon sequestration pathway remain limited. This talk will highlight series of high-pressure core flooding experiments and complementary reactive transport modeling designed to evaluate the effects of temperature, fluid chemistry, and transport regimes on basalt dissolution and carbonate precipitation. Results indicate that basalts can effectively mineralize CO2 at representative subsurface stress conditions, but predominantly within buffered diffusion-limited zones (e.g. dead-end fractures) where reaction fronts developed from competing geochemical gradients. Carbonate precipitation was highly localized on reactive silicate minerals contributing key divalent cations and was significantly enhanced by elevated temperature and alkalinity. In combination, this work reveals how complex interactions between reservoir geochemistry and transport conditions drive the extent and spatial distribution of carbon mineralization reactions in basalt fractures, which will inform selection of storage sites and injection.

Anne received her B.S.E. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Viginia. Her reserach is focused on improving our knowledge of fluid transport and geochemical controls for enhancing CO2 mineral carbonation in fractured basalt reservoirs.

How do fluctuations in scale impact the way we look at the past? Ruth Mostern’s research spans millennia and examines how local practices and political agendas influenced the ecology of the Yellow River. This panel will explore the ways in which spaces are created, managed, and contested over time. Shifting between scales, speakers will discuss the interconnections and conflicts between the local and the universal, with case studies ranging from the localized spaces of the workroom and kitchen to the expanses of empire and imagined nationhood.

Enhancing the Design and Performance of Highway Bridges using Ultra-High Performance Concrete (February 4, 2020 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71935 71935-17903256@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 4:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced cement-based, fiber-reinforced composite material that is emerging as a popular solution to many challenges related to highway bridge performance and durability. UHPC-class materials exhibit mechanical and durability properties that far exceed those of both conventional and high-performance concretes. The Structural Concrete Group at FHWA’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) has been conducting research on UHPC-class materials for more than 15 years, and has played a significant role in the growing popularity of this innovative class of materials in the US bridge market.
The objective of this presentation is to introduce the state-of-practice for UHPC in US highway bridge market, and discuss how this material is innovating the way we design and construct highway bridges. The presentation will include: a review of the basic properties of UHPC-class materials; a discussion of the current deployments in the US bridge market; and a discussion of recent research conducted at TFHRC. Research topics to be discussed will include: prefabricated bridge element connections using UHPC; UHPC for bridge repair and rehabilitation; and recent research focused on understanding the fundamental material properties and structural response of UHPC-class materials.

Dr. Zach Haber is a research structural engineer on FHWA’s Bridge Engineering Research Team at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia, USA. Dr. Haber’s research areas include prefabricated bridge systems and applications of innovative materials in bridge engineering. He provides technical assistance and outreach to bridge owners, designers, and consultants interested in developing or deploying innovative bridge engineering solutions.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UKirk@UMich

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

Lateral circulation and its role in disrupting the classical pattern of intra-tidal stratification in estuaries (February 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70028 70028-17499522@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 12:00pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The tidal cycle variability of stratification in an estuary is controlled by the interaction between tidal flows, bathymetry, and the estuary's longitudinal salt gradient. Two-dimensional analysis (in the vertical-longitudinal plane) of a straight, estuarine channel yields the classical theory of periodic stratification from tidal straining, and this mechanism typically works to enhance stratification on ebb tides and break it down through active mixing on flood tides. Ecological implications of mixing relative to tidal phase include whether sediment can reach perimeter habitats high in the tidal prism, whether phytoplankton reach sunlight, and whether hypoxia at depth persists longer than biology can tolerate. This pattern of stratification can be disrupted by density-driven exchange with shallow regions lining the channel: differential advection over channel-shoal bathymetry sets up lateral gradients in velocity, straining the salinity field and driving an input of fresher water at the surface of the channel during flood tides. Here, we present analytical scaling groups to weigh the contributions of longitudinal and lateral tidal straining and explore the conditions which lead to flood-tide stratification through this lateral exchange mechanism. Idealized, fully three-dimensional model results from the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) are used to explore the parameter space described by the scaling groups.

A Data-Driven Optimization Approach For the Dynamic Shuttle Dispatching Problem (February 6, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70040 70040-17499534@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 6, 2020 2:30pm

Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The problem of dispatching shuttles to serve trip requests can be mathematically formulated as a dial-a-ride problem (DARP). With on-demand mobility services gaining more popularity in recent years, the real-time application of DARP is attracting ever more interest. However, the fact that size of DARP grows exponentially with number of requests renders the current solution methodologies inadequate for online applications. In order to tackle this issue, we propose a general framework that shifts much of the computational burden of the optimization problems that need to be solved into an offline setting, thereby addressing on-demand requests with fast and high-quality solutions in real time. Furthermore, in order to improve the utilization rate of vehicles, we seek to dispatch our shuttle proactively, and not wait for the demand to be realized first. Using various numerical experiments, we demonstrate the benefits of the proposed method. Furthermore, we present a sensitivity analysis to show the performance of our methodology under different parameter settings.

Abstract
Human-robot collaboration has attracted increasing attention, both in academia and in industry. For example, in human-robot collaborative assembly, robots are often required to dynamically change their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace. However, the robots used today are controlled by pre-generated rigid codes that cannot support effective human-robot collaboration. In response to this need, multi-modal yet symbiotic communication and control methods have been developed. These methods include voice processing, gesture recognition, haptic interaction, and brainwave perception. Deep learning is used for classification, recognition and context awareness identification. Within this context, this seminar provides an overview of the current status of human-robot collaboration including its classification, definition and characteristics. At the end of the seminar, remaining challenges and future research directions will be highlighted.

Biosensors are devices or systems that can be used to detect, quantify, and analyze targets with biological activities and functions. As one of the largest subsets of biosensors, biomolecular sensors are specifically developed and programmed to detect, quantify and analyze biomolecules in liquid samples.

Wide-ranging applications have made immunoassays increasingly popular for biomolecular detection and quantification. Among these, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are of particular interest due to high specificity and reproducibility. To some extent, ELISA has been regarded as a “gold standard” for quantifying analytes (especially protein analytes) in both clinical diagnostics and fundamental biological research. However, traditional (96-well plate-based) ELISA still suffers from several notable drawbacks, such as long assay time (4–6 hours), lengthy procedures, and large sample/reagent consumption (∼100 μL). These inherent disadvantages still significantly limit traditional ELISA's applicability to areas such as rapid clinical diagnosis of acute diseases (e.g., viral pneumonia, acute organ rejection), and biological research that requires accurate measurements with precious or low abundance samples (e.g., tail vein serum from a mouse). Thus, a bimolecular sensing technology that has high sensitivity, short assay time, and small sample/reagent consumption is still strongly desired.

In this dissertation, we introduce the development of a multifunctional and automated optofluidic biosensing platform that can resolve the aforementioned problems. In contrast to conventional plate-based ELISA, our optofluidic ELISA platform utilizes mass-producible polystyrene microfluidic channels with a high surface-to-volume ratio as the immunoassay reactors, which greatly shortens the total assay time. We also developed a low-noise signal amplification protocol and an optical signal quantification system that was optimized for the optofluidic ELISA platform.

Our optofluidic ELISA platform provides several attractive features such as small sample/reagent consumption (<8 µL), short total assay time (30-45 min), high sensitivity (~1 pg/mL for most markers), and a broad dynamic range (3-4 orders of magnitude). Using these features, we successfully quantified mouse FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) concentration with a single drop of tail vein serum. We also successfully monitored bladder cancer progression in orthotopic xenografted mice with only <50 µL of mouse urine. More excitingly, we achieved highly-sensitive exosome quantification and multiplexed immuno-profiling with <40 ng/mL of total input protein (per assay). These remarkable milestones could not be achieved with conventional plate-based ELISA but were enabled by our unique optofluidic ELISA.

As an emerging member of the bimolecular sensor family, our optofluidic ELISA platform provides a high-performance and cost-effective tool for a plethora of applications, including endocrinal, cancer animal model, cellular biology, and even forensic science research. In the future, this technology platform can also be renovated for clinical applications such as personalized cancer diagnosis/prognosis and rapid point-of-care diagnostics for infectious diseases.

Rethinking America’s Urban Water Infrastructure: Resource Efficiency, Access, and Public Health (February 12, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70029 70029-17499523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 12:00pm

Water infrastructure renewal is receiving significant attention today as many of our systems are meeting (or exceeding) design life. Cities in countries with well developed economies like the U.S. enjoy economic prosperity in part due to the development of heavily centralized water systems that create high levels of water quality and public health, on average. While centralized water infrastructure has served us well, I argue that we should not be constrained to applying 20th century thinking as we plan for the future. The current revolution in information technologies (IT: software, hardware and devices) has the potential to transform urban water infrastructure by creating more resilient and flexible hybrid systems comprised of an interacting collection of centralized and decentralized physical IT systems. I contend that the development of IT-enabled “smart” hybrid water system solutions has the potential to: improve the efficiency with which we use resources (e.g., water, power,
nutrients); enhance equitable access to water services; change consumer and provider behavior around water; and ensure that we sustain a high level of public health, even as more people live in close proximity to each other. In this talk and through the use of case studies from across different regions around the globe, I will explore these scenarios and the changing ways in which people live. As an example, one case study will include the development of “smart” distributed nutrient recovery systems that have been deployed and are being tested at the University of Michigan.

Nancy Love is the Borchardt and Glysson Collegiate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Nancy research focuses are on assessing and advancing public and environmental health using chemical, biological and analytical approaches applied to water systems using both physical experiments and computational models.

February 12, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Koessler Room, Michigan League

Please join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.

The Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.

2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD
Sarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.

Regent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.

2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:

Cathleen Connell, Professor, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs, department and associate chair, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally,” said Mary Janevic, Ph.D., MPH, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes, meet goals, and achieve success,” Angela Beck, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice, School of Public Health, wrote.

Allison Steiner, Professor, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN), an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences, whose mission is to promote career development, build community, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company,” wrote Mark Moldwin, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering, in a nominating letter.

2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD
The Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors, clinical professors, research professors, and research scientists.

Rhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision, insight, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing, healthcare, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director, Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member, a Charter Fellow, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.

2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:
The U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo, African American and Latinx, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant, Associate, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Impacts of Autonomous Vehicles on Parking (February 13, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70244 70244-17556160@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 13, 2020 2:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to improve mobility, safety, and parking accessibility. It is estimated that AVs will be available on the market in the next decade. As car-parks are closed environments, they are among the first locations to expect influenced by AVs. AVs can be stacked in multiple rows like valet parking due to their self-parking capability. To release blocked vehicles, car-park operators relocate certain vehicles in driverless mode to create a clear pathway for cars that need to leave the facility. The problem of finding the optimal car-park layout design is investigated that minimizes relocations to fit a given number of vehicles. Results show that AV parking facilities can decrease the need for parking space by an average of 62%. The operation of AV parking facilities is also investigated, and policies for choosing a parking spot for each vehicle are proposed based on the arrival and departure time information. AVs will not only change the car-park facilities, but also where travelers park. AV users can exit from their vehicles and send their vehicles to park in a strategic location. AVs can park farther from destination in cheaper parking lots or cruise for the whole activity time. Results show that while the same parking price across all the locations would exacerbate the congestion by motivating more AVs to cruise, a toll for zero- occupant AVs would decrease the congestion.

Sina Bahrami is a Postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan. He received a B.S. and an M.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, and a Ph.D. from University of Toronto. Sina’s research is focused on the parking policy in the era of Avs.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

An active attacker situation can cause panic and disbelief. Knowing what to do in advance increases your chances of surviving and your reaction matters. While you may have received ALICE active attacker training during your previous educational experiences, the university’s training is very different. The university—unlike primary education settings—is an open environment in the middle of a city. In addition, the training you receive in this session will apply to how you respond to an active attacker in other contexts—at a place of worship, at a movie theater, etc. A representative from the Division of Public Safety and Security will be on hand to conduct training in the event of an active attacker and to field questions from graduate students.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/mnd7z.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. 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:
Hierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing, such as holacracy, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.

About Greer:
Lindy Greer is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Michigan Ross and the Faculty Director of the Sanger Leadership Center. Her research focuses on how to lead effective organizational teams with specific interests in leadership skills in conflict management, diversity and inclusion, vision crafting, and the communication of emotions.

The design of structures to protect occupants and operations in response to man-made extraordinary events requires attention to critical failure mechanisms and component behavior. Since the intensity and likelihood of these events are not well defined, performance based design approaches include the management of inelastic response and local failure. Design techniques that were developed for the ‘cold war’ are now adapted for Government and commercial construction. Applying these techniques to ‘design excellence’ architecture is a major challenge and the least impactful protective measures that achieve the required performance contribute to a project’s success. In many projects, the protective design engineer helps identify the risks associated with different design options and helps the owners to decide whether to mitigate or accept these risks.

In this talk, we consider the design of car-sharing services for a major car-sharing service providor. The problem is formulated as a high-dimensional discrete simulation-based optimization (DSO) problem. We propose a method that combines disaggregate car-sharing reservation data, analytical mathematical programming (MP) models, and simulation-based optimization algorithms. We present various ways in which the MP formulations can be used to enhance both the computational efficiency of DSO algorithms, as well as their ability to tackle high-dimensional problems. We present numerical results on a Boston case study.

Investigating Neuromodulation as a Treatment for Female Sexual Dysfunction

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects millions of women worldwide. FSD has a significant impact on quality of life and interpersonal relationships. The prevalence of at least one form of sexual dysfunction is 40-45% of adult women with 12% of women experiencing sexually related personal distress, yet there is no clear treatment option for a wide range of FSD deficits with high efficacy and low side effects.

Neuromodulation techniques using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves have the potential to treat some forms of FSD. In clinical trials of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for bladder dysfunction, women have reported that their sexual dysfunction symptoms improved as well. Even though this effect has been observed clinically, very little research has been done to examine the mechanisms or the optimal method of treatment specifically for women with FSD. This thesis aims to bridge that gap by investigating neuromodulation as a treatment for FSD through both preclinical and clinical studies.

The first aim of this thesis is to investigate a possible mechanism of the improvement to sexual functioning in response to tibial nerve stimulation by evaluating vaginal blood flow responses in rats. In 16 ketamine-anesthetized female rats, the tibial nerve was stimulated for 30 minutes while vaginal blood perfusion was recorded with laser Doppler flowmetry. A novel signal analysis and quantification metric was developed for this analysis. I found that tibial nerve stimulation could drive prolonged increases in vaginal blood perfusion, typically after 20-30 minutes of stimulation. This result suggests that clinical neuromodulation may be improving FSD symptoms by increasing genital blood flow.

One question yet to be investigated by neuromodulation studies is whether tibial nerve stimulation could be an on-demand treatment for FSD, such as Viagra is for men, or is more appropriate as a long-term treatment with improvements over time, such as PTNS for bladder dysfunction. In this thesis I address this question by evaluating the sexual motivation and receptivity of female rats both immediately after a single stimulation session as well as after long-term, repeated stimulation sessions. I found that tibial nerve stimulation led to modest increases in sexual motivation in the short term, and larger increases in sexual receptivity in the long-term.

Lastly, this thesis evaluates a pilot clinical study of transcutaneous stimulation of the dorsal genital and posterior tibial nerves in nine women with FSD. The women received stimulation once a week for 12 weeks and their sexual functioning was measured using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) at baseline, after 6 weeks of stimulation, after 12 weeks of stimulation, and at 18 weeks (6 weeks after the last stimulation session). The average total FSFI score across all subjects significantly increased from baseline to each of the time points in the study. Significant FSFI increases were seen in the sub-domains of lubrication, arousal, and orgasm, each of which is related to genital arousal.

This thesis provides evidence that peripheral neuromodulation can be an effective treatment for FSD. The stimulation is likely driving increases in genital blood flow, with greater effects observed when stimulation is repeatedly applied over time. This treatment has the potential to help millions of women worldwide.

In the past century the means and methods to design and build infrastructure have evolved at an ever increasing rate. Yet, there are timeless lessons from the builders of the “great projects”; the Eads Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Panama Canal, Hoover Dam, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Veteran builder and award winning civil engineering historian Raymond Paul Giroux will share his unique perspective of the great projects and the timeless lessons of the builders of the great projects.
Learning Objectives: After attending the Great Builders lecture, participants will be better able to:
• Understand the challenges of designing and building the Great Projects
• Understand the role of the key individuals who worked on the Great Projects
• Identify lessons from the Great Builders that are still relevant to modern practice
• Identify the essential traits of great builders

Adaptive Testing Scenario Library Generation for CAV Evaluation Based on Bayesian Optimization (February 20, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70245 70245-17556161@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 20, 2020 2:30pm

Testing and evaluation is a critical step in the development and deployment of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), and how to generate testing scenario library is a major challenge. In previous studies, to evaluate maneuver challenge of a scenario, surrogate models (SMs) are often used without explicit knowledge of the CAV under test. However, performance dissimilarities between the SM and the CAV under test usually exist, and it can lead to the generation of suboptimal library. In this work, an adaptive testing scenario library generation method is proposed to solve this problem based on Bayesian optimization. A customized testing scenario library for a specific CAV model will be generated as the result of the adaptive process. Compared with a pre-determined library, a CAV can be tested and evaluated in a more efficient manner with the customized library. To validate the proposed method, a cut-in and a highway exit case are studied for safety and functionality evaluation respectively. For both two cases, the proposed method can further accelerate the evaluation process by a few orders of magnitudes.

Nuclear energy provides approximately 20% of the nation’s electricity and is the only green heat source capable of delivering base load power at this time. Plants in the existing nuclear fleet are being retired because they cannot complete financially with natural gas and there is no carbon tax at present. The overnight capital cost for new build nuclear plants in the United States is about $12,500 per kWe , which has to be reduced by about a factor of five to be competitive with the price point of natural gas. Civil construction accounts for between 45% and 50% of the cost of a new build nuclear plant and so drastic reductions in these costs are needed for commercial customers to consider nuclear energy as a source of power generation. The presentation will explore the cost drivers for new build plants, identify differences between building and nuclear construction, describe how poor design decisions lead to dramatic increases in cost, introduce civil civil-engineering strategies for mitigating the effects of external hazards.

On the Empty Miles of Ride-Sourcing Services: Theory, Observation, and Countermeasures (February 27, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70246 70246-17556162@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 27, 2020 2:30pm
Location: GG Brown Laboratory
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

The proliferation of smartphones in recent years has catalyzed rapid growth of app-based ride-sourcing services such as Uber, Lyft and Didi Chuxing. A big issue that arises with service expansion is the empty miles produced by ride- sourcing vehicles. To overcome the physical and temporal frictions that separate drivers from customers and effectively reposition themselves towards desired destinations, ride sourcing vehicles generate a significant amount of vacant trips. These empty miles traveled result in an inefficient use of the available fleet and increase traffic demand, posing substantially impacts on system operations. This talk expounds the operational physics underlying the empty miles in ride-sourcing services, and interprets the cause of two critical matching failures that can arise due to some common mechanisms practiced by ride-sourcing platforms. Given the prevalence of the failures in real-world operations, we discuss countermeasures to avoid inefficiencies upon the empty miles, and sustain the system performances. Massive empirical data are employed to evidence the presence of matters in reality as well as the effectiveness of control strategies discussed.

Research shows that when students worry about fulfilling a negative stereotype related to certain social identities, it can hurt their learning (a phenomenon known as stereotype threat). Research also shows that an instructor’s beliefs about their own and their students’ intelligence and ability impact the classroom environment. In this interactive session, participants will reflect on instructor and student social identities and learn about strategies for mitigating stereotype threat, impostor syndrome, and encouraging a growth mindset for students in their classes.

Virtual Taize Prayer Service (March 3, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71770 71770-17890218@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 3, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UKirk@UMich

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

Paper Workshop: "Dressing up as a Queen to save the Crown: the Duchesse de Berry's Quadrille de Marie Stuart" (March 9, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73381 73381-18210536@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 9, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Nineteenth Century Forum

Please join the Nineteenth Century Forum (NCF) for a paper workshop with Isabelle Marie Anne Gillet.

At the French Royal Court in 1829, the Duchesse de Berry hosted a themed costume ball, centered on Mary Stuart, and subsequently commissioned Eugène Lami to illustrate the event. Lami’s album, a lavish, hand-colored, extremely limited edition compilation of lithographs, known as the Quadrille de Marie Stuart, raises complex questions about the rhetorical powers of representation in mobilizing collective memory to affect individuals’ understanding of the present. This article argues that the album constructs how the ball should be remembered and that its production served to unify the memory of the event, for the guests, its exclusive recipients, as a visual aide-mémoire of their elaborate costumes and the tableaux-vivants they enacted.

What has eluded scholars is the level to which Berry, a known political schemer, oversaw the spectacle, the audience’s experience, and the production of its illustrated pendant. Following in the footsteps of recent historical scholarship on female figures and their contribution to crafting their public image, I consider how the lithographic album, as a tangible extension of Berry’s image, displays the dexterity with which she manipulated visual and cultural materials to serve her own political agenda. Previously undiscussed letters from the artist reveal Berry’s involvement as well as the rising urgency of the political moment. Masked balls at the court were common in Restoration France; yet the care and attention to the production of the album commemorating this one point to a larger motive, namely the Duchesse’s political aspirations for herself and her son, on the eve of the Revolution of 1830.

Sustainability (environmental, social & governance values) is not 'a thing' but 'the way we do things'. It is about mainstreaming sustainability. To communicate this we will be talking about integration of sustainability metrics and values at three levels of implementation:
1. Within the fence of an organization: How are sustainable principles implemented at the unit level?
2. Outside the fence of the organization: How are sustainability principles implemented across supply chains?
3. Conditioning capital investment in sustainability: What is sustainable capital, how is capital deployment impacted by sustainability metrics?

The One Water concept is the integrated planning and management of finite water resources to meet the long term needs of both society and our ecosystems. As a society we need to not only improve the management of our water resources, we should also explore how valuable resources can be recovered from our water. This teach-in will explore the connections between our drinking water, wastewater, and natural water systems in order to better manage our water resources and recover valuable products. In recent years researchers have focused on recovering valuable products such as fertilizers from our waste streams in order to develop more sustainable products and conserve finite resources. We will explore this topic and many more in this teach-in. Specifically, this program will dive in to interesting topics such as:
--Current resource recovery opportunities such as nutrient recycling

Climate Change Mitigation Strategies: CO2 Utilization & Sequestration Through Engineering Solutions (March 11, 2020 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73396 73396-18214940@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 8:00am
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Civil and Environmental Engineering

Combating climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing today’s society, and the U.S. National Academy of Engineering has recognized the need to mitigate emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) as one of this century’s grand engineering challenges. Such action is needed to prevent potentially catastrophic shifts in regional temperatures, precipitation patterns, and sea level rise. This teach-in will introduce several emerging opportunities to (1) sequester human-derived CO2 emissions and (2) directly utilize CO2 to create value-added products. Topics will include geologic sequestration of CO2, use of CO2 to produce geothermal energy and store surplus renewable energy in subsurface reservoirs, and direct utilization of CO2 in durable concrete infrastructure products. The presentation will include several hands-on activities to explore these processes and discuss how we can leverage such engineering solutions to slow climate change.

CANCELED: MIPSE Seminar | Rethinking the Art of Plasma Etch (March 11, 2020 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70792 70792-17644317@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
Since the 1970s, the semiconductor industry has fabricated electronic circuits using a plasma based pattern-transfer ap-proach that is remarkably reminiscent of the etching artform used centuries ago. Only now, the patterns are a million times smaller and driven by the wafer fab equipment industry. The most advanced plasma etching technique in production today is called atomic layer etching (ALE) in which a single layer is removed in a cyclic manner. This talk will review the ALE ap-proach in comparison to conventional plasma etching tech-niques, such as Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). As RIE reaches its fifth decade, its drawbacks have become apparent. ALE offers better control by isolating steps in time and switching between the steps in a repeatable cycle. To the extent that an ALE pro-cess behaves ideally – with high ALE synergy and self-limiting behavior – the primary benefit is improved uniformity across all length scales: at the surface, between different aspect rati-os, and across the full wafer. Another benefit that will be high-lighted is the atomic-scale smoothness in topography of the surface left behind after etching. The underlying mechanism and benefits of plasma ALE will be described, providing insight into the plasma science behind the ancient art of etching. Overall, ALE is simpler to understand than conventional plasma etch processing, and is proving to be important as we apply the art of etch at the atomic scale.

Positive Links Speaker Series
Is it Really Better to Give than Receive?
Wayne Baker

Wednesday, March 11, 2020
4:00-5:00 p.m.
This event will only be live web streamed.

Follow the stream here: http://myumi.ch/518e2

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
The greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles, how to assess your style, how to overcome the obstacles to asking, how to make effective requests, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals, teams, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.

About Baker:
Wayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.

His teaching and research focus on social capital, social networks, generosity, positive organizational scholarship, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, will be published in January 2020.

He puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker, management consultant, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc., developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.

Prior to joining the Michigan faculty, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school. He earned his PhD in sociology from Northwestern University and was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

Host:

CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

As part of the conference, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

CANCELED: MIPSE Seminar | Quantum Hydrodynamics and Warm Dense Matter (March 18, 2020 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70794 70794-17644319@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 18, 2020 3:30pm

Abstract:
The experimental and computational investigation of both equilibrium and non-equilibrium strongly coupled systems with partially or fully degenerate electrons is an intellectu-ally stimulating and scientifically challenging problem. Warm dense matter (WDM) is of particular interest since it “exists in the lower-temperature portion of the high energy density (HED) regime, under conditions where the assumptions of both condensed-matter theory and ideal-plasma theory break down, and where quantum mechanics, particle correlations, and electric forces are all important.” [FESAC 2009]. Interiors of giant planets, brown dwarfs, and neutron star envelopes are all examples of WDM. A wide variety of theoretical methods have been developed and are in routine use for studying warm dense matter. This includes density functional theory, time-dependent density functional theory, and quantum kinetic theory. Recently, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating WDM based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HED regimes. Recent work involving adding a QHD capability to the radiation hydrodynamics code MIRANDA will be discussed with applications to the electron gas.

Join us for a conversation with Associate Professor John Ciorciari and author Karen Sherman to discuss her book, Brick by Brick: Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere. Sherman has spent 30 years in global development advocating for women in war-torn and transitional countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Congo, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Sudan, Kosovo, and the former Soviet Union. She began writing Brick by Brick during the year she spent living in Rwanda with her three sons to oversee the construction of a first-of-its-kind women’s opportunity center. The strength of these women helped Karen find her own way--through conflict zones and confrontations with corrupt officials to a renewed commitment to her family.

From the speaker's bio:

Karen Sherman currently serves as President of the Akilah Institute, Rwanda’s only women’s college, leading its strategy, growth, and partnerships. Prior to joining Akilah, Sherman was a senior executive at Women for Women International, an organization that helps women survivors of war to rebuild their lives. Sherman also served as the Executive Vice President at Counterpart International, an international nonprofit development organization that partners with local organizations to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which their people thrive. Sherman has been featured on BBC, CNBC Africa, Al Jazeera English, and Voice of America.

We build Lagrangian continuum models that utilize vehicle trajectory data obtained via V2X connectivity. These models are able to capture three important features of traffic flow: (i) the propagation of congestions in time, (ii) the propagation of congestions in space, (iii) the string instability/stability, that is, the amplification/decay of traffic waves while having only three tunable parameters. These models also enable us to study the large-scale impact of connected automated vehicles on traffic flow control.

Brain pathologies including stroke and cancer are a major cause of death and disability. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for roughly 12% of all strokes in the US with approximately 200,000 new cases per year. ICH is characterized by the rupture of vessels resulting in bleeding and clotting inside the brain. The presence of the clot causes immediate damage to surrounding brain tissue via mass effect with delayed toxic effects developing in the days following the hemorrhage. This leads ICH patients to high mortality with a 40% chance of death within 30 days of diagnosis and motivates the need to quickly evacuate the clot from the brain. Craniotomy surgery and other minimally invasive methods using thrombolytic drugs are common procedures to remove the clot but are limited by factors such as morbidity and high susceptibility to rebleeding, which ultimately result in poor clinical outcomes.

Histotripsy is a non-thermal ultrasound ablation technique that uses short duration, high amplitude rarefactional pulses (>26 MPa) delivered via an extracorporeal transducer to generate targeted cavitation using the intrinsic gas nuclei existing in the target tissue. The rapid and energetic bubble expansion and collapse of cavitation create high stress and strain in tissue at the focus that fractionate it into an acellular homogenate. This dissertation presents the role of histotripsy as a novel ultrasound technology with potential to address the need for an effective transcranial therapy for ICH and other brain pathologies.

The first part of this work investigates the effects of ultrasound frequency and focal spacing on transcranial clot liquefaction using histotripsy. Histotripsy pulses were delivered using two 256-element hemispherical transducers of different frequency (250 and 500 kHz) with 30-cm aperture diameters. Liquefied clot was drained via catheter and syringe in the range of 6-59 mL in 0.9-42.4 min. The fastest rate was 16.6 mL/min. The best parameter combination was λ spacing at 500 kHz, which produced large liquefaction through 3 skullcaps (~30 mL) with fast rates (~2 mL/min). The temperature-rise through the 3 skullcaps remained below 4°C.

The second part addresses initial safety concerns for histotripsy ICH treatment through investigation in a porcine ICH model. 1.75-mL clots were formed in the frontal lobe of the brain. The centers of the clots were liquefied with histotripsy 48 h after formation, and the content was either evacuated or left within the brain. A control group was left untreated. Histotripsy was able to liquefy the core of clots without direct damage to the perihematomal brain tissue. An average volume of 0.9 ± 0.5 mL (~50%) was drained after histotripsy treatment. All groups showed mild ischemia and gliosis in the perihematomal region; however, there were no deaths or signs of neurological dysfunction in any groups.

The third part presents the development of a novel catheter hydrophone method for transcranial phase aberration correction and drainage of the clot liquefied with histotripsy. A prototype hydrophone was fabricated to fit within a ventriculostomy catheter. Improvements in focal pressure of up to 60% were achieved at the geometric focus and 27%-62% across a range of electronic steering locations. The sagittal and axial -6-dB beam widths decreased from 4.6 to 2.2 mm in the sagittal direction and 8 to 4.4 mm in the axial direction, compared to 1.5 and 3 mm in the absence of aberration. The cores of clots liquefied with histotripsy were readily drained via the catheter.

The fourth part focuses on the development of a preclinical system for translation to human cadaver ICH models. A 360-element, 700 kHz hemispherical array with a 30 cm aperture was designed and integrated with an optical tracker surgical navigation system. Calibrated simulations of the transducer suggest a therapeutic range between 48 – 105 mL through the human skull with the ability to apply therapy pulses at pulse-repetition-frequencies up to 200 Hz. The navigation system allows real-time targeting and placement of the catheter hydrophone via a pre-operative CT or MRI.

The fifth and final part of this work extends transcranial histotripsy therapy beyond ICH to the treatment of glioblastoma. This section presents results from an initial investigation into cancer immunomodulation using histotripsy in a mouse glioblastoma model. The results suggest histotripsy has some immunomodulatory capacity as evidenced by a 2-fold reduction in myeloid derived suppressor cells and large increases in interferon-γ concentrations (3500 pg/mL) within the brain tumors of mice treated with histotripsy.

Lack of a dense network of charging infrastructure is a major barrier to the growth of the plug-in electric vehicle market. Electric vehicle drivers value public charging availability since, among other benefits, it reduces range anxiety. This talk introduces drivers’ willingness to pay functions for public charging infrastructure availability, conditional on electric vehicle type and range, annual travel mileage, energy prices, vehicle efficiency, and household income. At the same time, public charging deployment creates investment opportunities for station operators and electric utilities. Hence, in the last part of this talk, operating costs for fast charging stations are estimated, leveraging utility rates data across the United States. Cost mitigation technologies, such as solar panels and energy storage, are also identified.

Eleftheria Kontou is an Assistant Professor in the Civil and Enviornmental Engineering Department at University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign. Her research interests include transportation planning, electrification and emerging vehicle technologies operations, as well as transportation and energy sectors interdependencies.

Abstract:
NASA Heliophysics research studies a vast system stretching from the Sun to Earth to far beyond the edge of the planets. Studying this system – much of it driven by the Sun’s constant outpouring of solar wind – not only helps us understand fundamental infor-mation about how the universe works, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space, because, when extreme, space weather can interfere with our com-munications, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets through-out the universe.
Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft stra-tegically placed throughout our heliosphere – from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind, to satellites around Earth, to the far-thest human-made object, Voyager, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system, and all helping us untagle the effects of the star we live with.

About the speaker:
Dr. Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Until August 2018, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University where she was the Chief Scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Dr. Fox served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program. Fox received her BS in Physics and PhD in Space and Atmospheric Physics from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London. She received an MS in Telematics and Satellite Communications from the University of Surrey.

A Data Scientist Plays Games (April 3, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/74087 74087-18518836@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 3, 2020 3:00pm
Location:
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

This event will be hosted online via Zoom

A Data Scientist Plays Games:  This is a presentation broken down into two parts.  The first is how to use mathematical techniques to analyze classic card and board games, and the second part is how data science techniques were applied in real life to support games on the Facebook platform.  This presentation is about 1.5 hours, with a target audience probably suited to CS/software engineering.  It’s light-hearted and fun.

Nick Berry, a native of the UK, has lived in Seattle for the last 25 years. He was educated as a rocket scientist and aircraft designer, graduating with a Masters Degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.

Upon graduation, he joined a group of friends to form a software company, specializing in electronic mapping and route planning. This company was grown organically, and earned an unprecedented number of awards and accolades, including the British Design Award and The Queen’s Award for Technology, presented by Her Majesty in 1991. In 1994 Nick was recognized by the Sunday Times Magazine as “One of the top 50 entrepreneurs of the decade”. In 1994, after the company had grown to 50 people worldwide, it was sold to Microsoft.

Nick moved to America with the sale and spent 14 years working for Microsoft, the last ten of which were in the Microsoft Casual Game team. During his tenure, he filed a variety of patents for Microsoft, and represented Microsoft at various conferences and speaking engagements.

After leaving Microsoft, he joined RealNetworks to work as the GM of customer analytics for their games division, GameHouse.

After GameHouse, Nick spent five years as a Data Scientist, working for Facebook in their Seattle office.

In addition to his engineering expertise, Nick is passionate about data privacy and holds a CIPP qualification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals. He is an active member of the privacy community and speaks at various events about the legal and ethical aspects of data collection, use, and destruction.

In July 2013, Nick gave a TEDx talk about Passwords and the Internet, and in 2015 was nominated by GeekWire as Geek-of-the-week. In 2019 he was recognized as one of the 50 over 50 in the video games industry.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

In light of COVID-19 and in alignment with university policy, Rackham is delivering our professional and academic programming when possible in alternative formats. This workshop will not be held in person but instead will be offered using Zoom technology. Please be sure to check your email the morning of the online workshop for the link to participate in the program.
Have you often succeeded at an academic task even though you were afraid you wouldn’t do well? Do you dread others evaluating your work? Do you tend to remember incidents when you haven’t done your best more than those when you have? Thoughts such as these are the hallmark of imposter syndrome thinking. Imposter syndrome thinking can be compounded for those from underrepresented populations who may also be subject to discrimination and situations that prime stereotype threat. This interactive session will share insights from the scholarship on imposter syndrome and related psychological constructs—including stereotype threat and performance anxiety—and provide strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome.
This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Space is limited. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/88wGV.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time (one week preferred) to arrange for your requested accommodation(s) or an effective alternative.

Virtual Taize Prayer Service (April 14, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71770 71770-17890219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UKirk@UMich

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

A Data Scientist Plays Games (April 16, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/74087 74087-18510444@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 16, 2020 12:00pm
Location:
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

This event will be hosted online via Zoom

A Data Scientist Plays Games:  This is a presentation broken down into two parts.  The first is how to use mathematical techniques to analyze classic card and board games, and the second part is how data science techniques were applied in real life to support games on the Facebook platform.  This presentation is about 1.5 hours, with a target audience probably suited to CS/software engineering.  It’s light-hearted and fun.

Nick Berry, a native of the UK, has lived in Seattle for the last 25 years. He was educated as a rocket scientist and aircraft designer, graduating with a Masters Degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.

Upon graduation, he joined a group of friends to form a software company, specializing in electronic mapping and route planning. This company was grown organically, and earned an unprecedented number of awards and accolades, including the British Design Award and The Queen’s Award for Technology, presented by Her Majesty in 1991. In 1994 Nick was recognized by the Sunday Times Magazine as “One of the top 50 entrepreneurs of the decade”. In 1994, after the company had grown to 50 people worldwide, it was sold to Microsoft.

Nick moved to America with the sale and spent 14 years working for Microsoft, the last ten of which were in the Microsoft Casual Game team. During his tenure, he filed a variety of patents for Microsoft, and represented Microsoft at various conferences and speaking engagements.

After leaving Microsoft, he joined RealNetworks to work as the GM of customer analytics for their games division, GameHouse.

After GameHouse, Nick spent five years as a Data Scientist, working for Facebook in their Seattle office.

In addition to his engineering expertise, Nick is passionate about data privacy and holds a CIPP qualification from the International Association of Privacy Professionals. He is an active member of the privacy community and speaks at various events about the legal and ethical aspects of data collection, use, and destruction.

In July 2013, Nick gave a TEDx talk about Passwords and the Internet, and in 2015 was nominated by GeekWire as Geek-of-the-week. In 2019 he was recognized as one of the 50 over 50 in the video games industry.

CANCELED: MIPSE Seminar | Bringing Cosmic Shock Waves Down to Earth (April 22, 2020 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72596 72596-18024699@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 22, 2020 3:30pm
Location: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Plasma Science and Engineering (MIPSE)

Abstract:
As a fundamental process for converting kinetic to thermal energy, collisionless shocks are ubiquitous throughout the heliosphere and astrophysical systems, from Earth’s magnetosphere to supernova remnants. While these shocks have been studied for decades by spacecraft, telescopes, and numerical simulations, there remain key open questions in shock physics, such as: How do shocks accelerate particles to extremely high energies? or How are particles heated across a shock? Laboratory experiments thus provide a significant opportunity to both complement spacecraft and remote sensing observations with well-controlled and well-diagnosed datasets, and to help benchmark numerical simulations that bridge laboratory and astrophysical systems.
In this talk, I will discuss recent results from experiments and simulations on the formation and evolution of collision-less shocks created through the interaction of a supersonic laser-driven magnetic piston and magnetized ambient plas-ma. Through advanced diagnostics a fast, high-Mach-number shock is observed. Direct probing of particle velocity distributions reveals the coupling between the piston and ambient plasmas that is a key step in forming magnetized collisionless shocks. Particle-in-cell simulations further detail the shock formation process, the role of collisionality, and the dynamics of multi-ion-species ambient plasmas. I will also discuss how this experimental platform complements spacecraft missions and can allow novel investigations of shock heating and particle acceleration.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Schaeffer is an Associate Research Scholar in the Department of Astro-physical Sciences at Princeton University. He received his BA in Physics at Cornell University and his PhD in Physics from UCLA, and did his postdoctoral work at Princeton in high-energy-density laboratory astrophysics. Dr. Schaeffer has extensive experience in experiments involving mag-netized laser plasmas, collisionless shocks, and magnetic reconnection, and a keen interest in bridging laboratory and astronomical observations. He also has expertise in a wide range of di-agnostics, including Thomson scattering, refractive imaging, proton radiography, and x-ray im-aging. He has authored dozens of papers and has presented at numerous conferences around the world.

Abstract:
NASA Heliophysics research studies a vast system stretching from the Sun to Earth to far beyond the edge of the planets. Studying this system – much of it driven by the Sun’s constant outpouring of solar wind – not only helps us understand fundamental infor-mation about how the universe works, but also helps protect our technology and astronauts in space. NASA seeks knowledge of near-Earth space, because, when extreme, space weather can interfere with our com-munications, satellites and power grids. The study of the Sun and space can also teach us more about how stars contribute to the habitability of planets through-out the universe.
Mapping out this interconnected system requires a holistic study of the Sun’s influence on space, Earth and other planets. NASA has a fleet of spacecraft stra-tegically placed throughout our heliosphere – from Parker Solar Probe at the Sun observing the very start of the solar wind, to satellites around Earth, to the far-thest human-made object, Voyager, which is sending back observations on interstellar space. Each mission is positioned at a critical, well-thought out vantage point to observe and understand the flow of energy and particles throughout the solar system, and all helping us untagle the effects of the star we live with.

About the speaker:
Dr. Nicola Fox is the Heliophysics Division Director in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. Until August 2018, Dr. Fox worked at the Applied Physics Lab at the Johns Hopkins University where she was the Chief Scientist for Heliophysics and the project scientist for NASA’s Parker Solar Probe. Dr. Fox served as the deputy project scientist for the Van Allen Probes, and the operations scientist for the International Solar Terrestrial Physics program. Fox received her BS in Physics and PhD in Space and Atmospheric Physics from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London. She received an MS in Telematics and Satellite Communications from the University of Surrey.

Moved Virtually - 25th Annual Lavender Graduation (April 30, 2020 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73431 73431-18217180@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 30, 2020 12:00am
Location: Trotter Multicultural Center
Organized By: Spectrum Center

The Spectrum Center is eager to announce that we have found a way to celebrate all LGBTQ+ graduates in a new format!

The Annual Lavender Graduation, also referred to as LavGrad, is a celebration to honor LGBTQ graduates of the University of Michigan. Established by Ronni Sanlo in 1995, the University of Michigan was the first commemorative event of its kind celebrated at an institution of higher learning. This commencement ceremony acknowledges the contributions of any graduates from any school/college at the University and of any academic level. Due to COVID-19 and the University of Michigan’s suspension of all in-person commencements, the day-of ceremony itself has been canceled. However, the Spectrum Center still has opportunities to highlight this year’s graduating class.

All LGBTQ+ students who graduated in Fall 2019 or are set to graduate Winter or Summer 2020 are invited to register as a graduate. Those who register before the EXTENDED deadline of Sunday, April 12th at 11:59 pm will receive a free rainbow 2020 tassel, a lavender cord, and an optional Lavender Degree and optional printed program. Additionally, students will be able to select the ways they would like to be recognized or opt-out of public recognition. The celebratory page will be posted April 30th to coincide with the intended celebration date.

The Spectrum Center is pleased to announce that Ronni Sanlo, Founder of Lavender Graduation in 1995, will be the Keynote Speaker for the Lavender Graduation ceremony and be the recipient of an Honorary Lavender Degree. Playwright, author and LGBT historian Dr. Ronni Sanlo is a well-known keynote speaker at colleges and universities around the country. Ronni speaks not only from her perspective as a higher education/student affairs professor, LGBT center director, dean of students, and faculty in residence but also from her personal life experiences. In lieu of a public speech, Ronni will be providing a pre-recorded video and her remarks in text to be posted along with the 2020 graduating class.

Ginsberg Graduate Academic Liaisons serve as connectors to their home departments, while deepening their knowledge and application of community engaged scholarship and practice. Graduate Academic Liaisons make a one-year commitment, renewable upon mutual agreement.

Liaisons help broaden the Ginsberg Center’s capacity to support faculty in preparing students for community engagement through leading curricular and co-curricular workshops, developing curriculum, and integrating current research into Ginsberg Center materials and resources. In return, they are part of a community of practice centered around equitable community engagement. Liaisons learn and apply best practices, cultivate their leadership skills, form relationships with other students, faculty and community partners, and contribute to the Center's mission to support equitable campus-community partnerships in service to the public good.

WHO:
Doctoral students interested in applying and expanding their knowledge and experience with community engagement.

TIME COMMITMENT & PAY:
Each liaison commits to 5 hours a week for both the Fall and Winter semesters, including regular meetings with Ginsberg Center staff and cohort meetings. Depending on availability and project needs, there is also the possibility of working with us over the summer. Liaisons are typically paid $15/hour.

HOW TO APPLY:
The online application is due Friday, May 1, 2020. We will contact applicants to set up a virtual interview.

Please contact us at ginsberg.engage@umich.edu with any questions.
