Vision 2034: Town Halls (March 28, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106244 106244-21813970@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Vision 2034

The University of Michigan is engaging in a collective strategic visioning process to imagine our shared future for the next 10 years — our Vision 2034. The active participation of U-M students, faculty, staff, alumni and partners will be vital to the initiative’s success. Join us as we embark on this historic journey.

The collective visioning process for Vision 2034 will occur throughout 2023 alongside other important U-M efforts, including Campus Planning — which will explore how the physical campus must evolve to support the future of U-M. It will build upon the insights and lessons learned from other ongoing university engagement efforts including Bold Challenges, Bold Ideas, Culture Journey, as well as planning for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) 2.0. In addition, Vision 2034 will incorporate the strategic planning efforts occurring across the institution — including at UM–Dearborn, UM-Flint, and Michigan Medicine. It also will be informed by the 2023 U-M Audience Research Project findings, expected soon.

Our primary objectives are to:

• Engage the university community at large in crafting a compelling vision for our shared future, grounded in our mission and values. Learn how to get involved.

• Generate big ideas through town halls, surveys, focus groups and other forums.

• Incorporate key themes from recent campus-wide engagement efforts and other planning initiatives to inform the vision.

• Deliver a shared vision for charting the path of the university into the next 10 years.

• Enable university leadership to establish mechanisms to measure progress toward our vision over time.

The sessions available in this track offer multiple opportunities for feedback and idea contribution through a Town Hall format. A variety of audience groups & organizations will also participate through invite-only focus groups (not listed here).

Please note: Registration for events is currently limited to U-M faculty, staff, and students. If you do not see an event for your U-M affiliation, please check back at a later time. Additional engagement opportunities will be continuously added.

A reception will immediately follow the talk.

With increasingly frequent and evermore costly data breaches and other cyber incidents, effectively assessing, quantifying, and managing cyber risks has become crucial for organizations large and small. Many key challenges we face are rooted in unique characteristics of this type of risk, from a fast-changing threat landscape that brings unforeseen forms of attacks, to the fact that cyber risks are heavily interdependent among organizations. I will take a look at how this field has evolved over the past decade and describe my research group’s work within this context, in particular, the use of data and supervised learning tools to quantify cyber risk at an organization level, and the use of cyber insurance as a policy mechanism to incentivize better risk control.

Bio:

Mingyan Liu is a leading expert in optimal resource allocation, performance modeling, sequential decision and learning theory, game theory and incentive mechanisms, all within the context of large-scale networked systems and with applications to cyber risk quantification.

Technologies she developed in the cybersecurity space have been successfully transitioned. She co-founded the start-up company, QuadMetrics, Inc., commercializing predictive data analytics her team developed for cyber risk quantification that resulted in the first global enterprise cybersecurity ratings system; it was acquired by the analytics software company Fair Isaac (FICO) in 2016. This technology has been used for enterprise risk management, vendor management, cyber insurance underwriting, and most recently, in augmenting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings.

Prof. Liu joined the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in September 2000, as an assistant professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She has been the Peter and Evelyn Fuss Chair of ECE since 2018. She is the recipient of the 2002 NSF CAREER Award, the University of Michigan Elizabeth C. Crosby Research Award in 2003 and 2014, the 2010 EECS Department Outstanding Achievement Award, the 2015 CoE Excellence in Education Award, the 2017 CoE Excellence in Service Award, and the 2018 Distinguished University Innovator Award. She has received a number of Best Paper Awards and has served on the editorial boards of IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking, IEEE Trans. Mobile Computing, and ACM Trans. Sensor Networks. She is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the ACM.

Prof. Liu received an MS degree in Systems Engineering and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1997 and 2000, respectively.

Sense of Self: The Islamic Contemporary (March 31, 2023 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/105043 105043-21810642@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 31, 2023 10:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Despite recent panels and scholarship aiming to dispel the notion, there is a conception that contemporary art and religion are incompatible.

When paired with the Islamophobic sentiment that Islam is destructive, rather than constructive like artistic practices and that it even forbids many forms of artistic production, there is a presumption that contemporary art that engages with Islam as religion and faith (rather than simply as identity) cannot exist.

There is an additional assumption that those who identify as women, queer, trans, and non-binary are unlikely to engage with Islam in their work outside of critique, because of the belief that Islam is inherently (and uniquely) oppressive of and therefore contradictory to individuals who identify as such.

In an attempt to disabuse viewers of these notions, as well as give a space of exploration to these often overlooked or excluded voices, this exhibition brings together women, queer, trans, and non-binary Muslim artists who explore their connection to religion, their other identities (be those related to their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or status as artists), and their practices.

Special CM-AMO Seminar | Optically-active solid-state spins in photonic platforms for quantum science and technology (April 3, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106643 106643-21814617@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 3, 2023 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: CM-AMO Seminars

Optically-active solid-state spin systems can offer remarkable single photon emission properties (brightness and indistinguishability), which makes them useful for developing photonic quantum simulators and building blocks of quantum networks. In this talk, I will present the efforts of studying the fundamental physics of optically-active spin systems and integrating these systems in photonic platforms for quantum technologies. First, I will describe all-optical implementations of NMR-inspired protocols for controlling the quantum state of optically-active spins and for the diffraction-limited probing of their nuclear environment. Then, I will discuss the process of coupling optically-active spins to photonic cavities, which provides spin-dependent optical switching capabilities. Finally, I will focus on the applications of spins in photonic platforms for simulating quantum dynamics under complex Hamiltonians, as well as toward the demonstration of photonic repeaters for the efficient distribution of quantum information.

Leadership Dialogues: Kofi Bruce (April 10, 2023 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105399 105399-21811677@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 10, 2023 4:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Sanger Leadership Center

The Leadership Dialogues speaker series is a fireside chat-style event featuring accomplished industry, political and non-profit leaders discussing the latest ideas in organizational research and ongoing practice with U-M faculty.

What does it take for a leader in a 150-year-old company to navigate change and build community with 40,000 employees?

Kofi Bruce, MBA ‘98, chief financial officer of General Mills, joins Associate Dean and Professor Gretchen Spreitzer to discuss the importance of authentic leadership and the role leaders play in creating a sense of community in their organizations, especially during times of change. Bruce, who was named CFO in 2020, is a celebrated leader with senior management experience in a broad range of industries. In addition to his role at General Mills, he is also a board member at Lifeworks, Electronic Arts, Aspen Finance Leaders Fellowship, and Partners in Food Solutions.

During his leadership tenure, Bruce has responded to societal demands for racial equity, a shifting consumer landscape, and a global health crisis in the form of COVID-19. Bruce will describe how he views his role as not only the company’s chief accountant, but a leader who has empowered employees by creating community when times were tough. Additionally, Bruce will discuss how the CFO role is increasingly responsible for engaging in environmental, social, and governance goals.

Professor Spreitzer is an award-winning researcher and the co-author of several books about positive organizational scholarship, leadership, and change management. Her research explores employee empowerment and leadership development, particularly within contexts of organizational change and decline. Professor Spreitzer will explore how scholarship relates to Bruce’s vision and practice of leadership. Join us for an engaging talk from leaders in both industry and research.

Much like art, an advertisement’s meaning is not produced by its creators, but by the consumers who have to make sense of it. Because of cultural and subcultural differences, audiences might find meanings that vary widely from one another and from what the marketers intended. Ross School of Business faculty member Marcus Collins joins UMMA’s Dave Choberka for a discussion on meaning making and shared culture.

The University of Michigan is engaging in a collective strategic visioning process to imagine our shared future for the next 10 years — our Vision 2034. The active participation of U-M students, faculty, staff, alumni and partners will be vital to the initiative’s success. Join us as we embark on this historic journey.

The collective visioning process for Vision 2034 will occur throughout 2023 alongside other important U-M efforts, including Campus Planning — which will explore how the physical campus must evolve to support the future of U-M. It will build upon the insights and lessons learned from other ongoing university engagement efforts including Bold Challenges, Bold Ideas, Culture Journey, as well as planning for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) 2.0. In addition, Vision 2034 will incorporate the strategic planning efforts occurring across the institution — including at UM–Dearborn, UM-Flint, and Michigan Medicine. It also will be informed by the 2023 U-M Audience Research Project findings, expected soon.

Our primary objectives are to:

• Engage the university community at large in crafting a compelling vision for our shared future, grounded in our mission and values. Learn how to get involved.

• Generate big ideas through town halls, surveys, focus groups and other forums.

• Incorporate key themes from recent campus-wide engagement efforts and other planning initiatives to inform the vision.

• Deliver a shared vision for charting the path of the university into the next 10 years.

• Enable university leadership to establish mechanisms to measure progress toward our vision over time.

The sessions available in this track offer multiple opportunities for feedback and idea contribution through a Town Hall format. A variety of audience groups & organizations will also participate through invite-only focus groups (not listed here).

Please note: Registration for events is currently limited to U-M faculty, staff, and students. If you do not see an event for your U-M affiliation, please check back at a later time. Additional engagement opportunities will be continuously added.

Topic: *Pricing Physical Water Risk: Machine Learning Approaches to Quantify the Impact of Corporate Water Use Efficiencies in the Financial Markets*

Corporate financial risk in their operations resulting from climate change and water resource limitations result in volatility in the capital markets. This has become a regulatory focus under the Task for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), forcing companies to disclose how climate is impacting their financial performance. This includes water risk exposures in water security and the impact of floods in supply chains, logistics, and operations resulting from water access. Corporate water intensity, a proxy for climate transition risk, relates water use efficiency to operational and capital asset risks. This information is generally not disclosed in financial or sustainability reports and is difficult for investors or regulators to assess, and for risk managers to address. This seminar focuses on the development of econometric models to price water risk in equities with the aim of informing corporate decision-makers and external stakeholders to assess and benchmark the financial valuation of water risk and to allow for comparison across industry sectors.

Society has become increasingly reliant on digital technology, but public infrastructure has not yet evolved to support and enable these social, commercial, and municipal needs. Industry migration to renewable energy and Big Data continues to alter the way we live and work, and growing demand for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles will require more than ever-more-expensive vehicles traveling on poorly maintained, deteriorating traditional roadways. Our aging transportation infrastructure needs to be transformed and digitized to support public demands for existing technology and enable the evolution of those needs over future generations. Leveraging new approaches to digital infrastructure, data analytics, and modern financing reduces a daunting task into an approach that revolutionizes public infrastructure while incentivizing sustainable planning and implementation strategies.

A panel discussion will follow the lecture, featuring Rick Geddes, Professor, Department of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University, and Tim Slusser, Chief of Mobility Innovation for the City of Detroit.

Our co-sponsors include CCAT, UMTRI, Mcity, Integrated Roadways, the City of Detroit and the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy.

Ceramics artists Yoshiko Takahashi and Georgette Zirbes discuss the influence of the Shigaraki tradition on their work and the intergenerational global exchange among American and Japanese artists that helped to pave the way for women ceramics artists.

This program, presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series, is connected to the UMMA exhibition Clay As Soft Power: Shigaraki Ware In Postwar America and Japan (on view through May 7, 2023).  Known for its earthy tones, rough clay surfaces, and natural ash glazes, Shigaraki ware is celebrated as one of the “Six Ancient Kilns” of Japan, ancient sites of pottery production and cultural heritage in which wares have been produced from the middle ages to today. 

Until the mid-twentieth century, women in Japan played supporting roles in ceramic production. After World War II, the number of women ceramic artists in Japan gradually increased as access to education and professional development expanded. A robust exchange with American women ceramic artists contributed to this shift as well. U-M Professor Emerita Georgette Zirbes was one of these American artists.  By the 1960s, a notable number of women had founded their own ceramics studios, carried out every step of production from modeling to firing by themselves, and produced ceramics not only to earn a living but as a means of self-expression. The current generation of women artists such as Yoshiko Takahashi has  inherited the legacy of the remarkable independence of Zirbes and others in her cohort.

Join these two artists along with exhibition curator Natsu Oyobe for a deep dive into their work and the influences that continue to connect them today.

The program will be followed by UMMA Feel Good Friday. Stick around for an evening of programming inspired by the Clay as Soft Power exhibition.

Yoshiko Takahashi was born into the family of Takahashi Rakusai, a lineage of makers of Shigaraki ware that started in the nineteenth century. She will be the first woman artist to succeed to the Rakusai name. Takahashi studied ceramics at the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramicists' Technical Institute and the Shigaraki Ceramic Research Institute. After graduating, she became a studio technician for the artist-in-residence program at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park, working in the stimulating environment of international and national artist exchanges. Now an independent artist in Shigaraki, she regularly exhibits her works in museums and galleries throughout Japan and the United States.

Georgette Zirbes’s artistic practice has been informed by her experience and research in Japan and Eastern Europe. After receiving an MA in ceramic art from The Ohio State University in 1964, Zirbes was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Japan and studied with two masters of the woodfired, unglazed ceramic tradition: Fujiwara Kei (1924–1977) in Bizen and Takahashi Rakusai III (1898–1976) in Shigaraki, where she learned about asymmetric forms and interventions into clay surfaces. In 1987, another Fulbright grant allowed her to spend six months studying ceramic traditions in the former Czechoslovakia. While retaining her studio practice, she was a devoted educator and in 1970 she established the studio art program at the Residential College at the University of Michigan; she later became a faculty member at the University’s School of Art and Design, where she taught for thirty-five years. In 2006, she was named an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor by the University of Michigan in recognition of her dedication to teaching. A retrospective exhibition was held at her undergraduate alma mater, DePauw University, in 2017.

Established through the generosity of Dr. Herbert Sloan, the annual Doris Sloan Memorial Program honors one of the Museum’s most ardent friends and supporters, Doris Sloan, a long-time UMMA docent.

Tonight’s program is presented in partnership with the Penny Stamps Speaker Series and sponsored by the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation and Takahashi Omitsu. 

 


Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the U-M Office of the Provost, the Japan World Exposition 1970 Commemorative Fund, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the U-M Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation, James M. Trapp, Nancy and Joe Keithley, and the William C. Weese, M.D. Endowment for Ceramic Arts.

Foundations of Modern Physics Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop: Naturalness, Renormalization, and Fundamentality (May 5, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102657 102657-21804918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 5, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Department of Physics

For more information, please contact Francisco Calderón, fcalder@umich.edu

The speakers of this panel will discuss questions about if and how "naturalness" guides theory choice, how we only control and understand some theories at certain scales, and how to interpret what non-fundamental theories can tell us about the world, among others. Naturalness, like simplicity or empirical adequacy, is sometimes considered a criterion constraining the formulation of theories in high-energy physics or the choice among extant ones. One reason unnatural theories are deemed implausible is that their parameters are "fine-tuned;" too big or small for the scale in which the theory operates. By emphasizing how the physics we describe at a certain scale depends on physics at smaller distances, the methods known as "renormalization group techniques" have suggested that theories with unnatural parameters, like the Higgs boson's mass in the Standard Model of particle physics, are merely "effective" (as opposed to "fundamental"). Distinguishing the fundamental and the non-fundamental physical theories provides important guidance for future physics and naturalistic metaphysics.

PREACT: Motion Sickness Alleviation in Autonomous Vehicles via Preemptive Interventions — CCAT Research Review (May 9, 2023 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101400 101400-21803710@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 1:00pm
Location: Transportation Research Institute
Organized By: Center for Connected and Automated Transportation

While autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise a transportation future with several benefits, a high incidence of motion sickness among passengers remains a major impediment to the widespread adoption of this promising technology.

Motion sickness in a moving vehicle is the consequence of frequent acceleration and resulting inertial forces associated with driving actions such as speeding, braking, and turning. In a traditional vehicle, the driver anticipates the inertial consequences of their own driving actions, and accordingly makes subtle preemptive corrections. The passenger ends ups passively reacting to the inertial forces, which leads to a far greater incidence of motion sickness. In a future world of AVs, every occupant will be a passive passenger, resulting in a greater likelihood and severity of motion sickness.

In this talk, Professor Awtar will present the development and experimental validation of a novel motion sickness mitigation technology, PREACT. The key idea behind the PREACT technology is to employ predictive algorithms that anticipate impending inertial events associated with driving and accordingly makes preemptive corrections via mechatronic hardware such as tip/tilt active seats, active restraints, and passenger stimuli before the inertial events happen. Instead of reacting to an inertial event that can produce motion sickness, the PREACT system “pre-acts” ahead of time to avert motion sickness before it even happens.
