Cybersecurity and Risk Management: From Data to Policy (March 29, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/106356 106356-21814122@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 3:00pm

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.

Organized By: Electrical and Computer Engineering

When Greg Robinson took over the leadership of the James Webb Space Telescope, it was years behind schedule, billions over budget, tarnished by engineering failures and waning stakeholder confidence. The trouble didn’t end there. COVID, hurricanes, and other obstacles soon stood in the way of success. Still, Robinson managed to bring together 20,000 people in 29 countries and 14 U.S. states to not only turn the program around, but nearly double its efficiency. In this inspiring talk, highlighted by breathtaking images from Webb, Robinson shares how trust, communication and effective leadership can bring teams together from across the globe to overcome obstacles and achieve your organization’s moonshot.

BIO

Best-known as the turnaround leader of the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb), 33-year NASA veteran Gregory Robinson is credited with transforming a program that was billions over budget and years behind schedule into one of NASA’s greatest achievements of the 21st century. Robinson’s renowned leadership skills and soft-spoken management and communication style have earned him numerous awards and honors, including being named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022 (alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky) and receiving the TIME100 Impact Award, which credited Robinson’s leadership on Webb as bringing us closer to understanding the universe.

Abrahamic Vernaculars: Rivals Thinking Together (October 17, 2023 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/111930 111930-21827932@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

This year's Padnos Public Engagement Lecture will be led by:
Rebecca Scharbach Wollenberg, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies, University of Michigan.

Contemporary media often emphasizes the competitive nature of the Abrahamic monotheisms. This is not entirely unjustified. Relations between Jews, Christians, and Muslims have certainly included their share of religious wars, theological polemic, and oppression. Yet there is also another side to the Abrahamic coin. Even in the midst of communal rivalry, Jewish, Christian and Muslim practitioners have often turned to each other to think through religious concepts, elucidate a shared sense of sacred history, and enrich their ritual practices. From the development of shared ritual practices surrounding childbirth to ecumenical medieval study groups, this talk explores historical moments when Jews, Christians, and Muslim have done their religious thinking together.

--

From Dr. Wollenberg: I teach biblical reception history, or the history of Jewish biblical interpretation. My research explores the diverse ways in which historical Jewish communities have imagined the Hebrew Bible as a revelation and the varied modes in which they have engaged with the biblical tradition in practice. While centering rabbinic Jewish communities, my research frequently looks at loci of intersection between rabbinic Jewish thinkers and neighboring communities, from early Christian lay practitioners, to late antique readers of Homer, and the medieval Muslim scholars who foreshadowed scholarly biblical criticism.

October 17, 7pm
to be followed by a light reception at 8:30pm.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The Residential College Art Gallery will present BREATHE, an exhibition of illuminated ceramics by Ann Arbor artist Kate Tremel, from October 20 through November 21. Tremel, who teaches ceramics at the Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design, describes her work in the following way:

“My pots are made with a wooden paddle and round stone. They are slowly raised by beating, turning, and drying the clay repeatedly until the walls are thinly stretched and the form is filled with life. I pierce the fragile, unfired walls of the vessel with a tapered tool and then painstakingly carve the holes with a thin blade. The piercings give visual access to the interior of the form and create a tension with the fragility of the ceramic material. When the pot is illuminated the light fills the vessel and physically embodies the energy that it contains. The piercings allow this energy to flow beyond the walls of the form and into the surrounding space. The soft patterns of light are an exhalation, filling the dark room with a sense of quiet repose. I invite you to stop and take a breath.”

The public is invited to an opening reception for the artist on October 20, from 4-6 pm, and the public is invited.

Join us for the culmination "Free To Speak! A Convening on Art, Slavery and Reconciliation", a celebration of Black creativity, agency, and memory inspired by the exhibition Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina. The evening will feature National Book award winning poet Nikky Finney and a chance to chat with the curators of Hear Me Now in the galleries. Refreshments provided.

Nikky Finney has spent her career illuminating the Southern cultural and political heritage of Black people in ways that resonate throughout the country and world. Her ongoing legacy of poignant expression, indomitable truth, and devotion to social justice has enriched the country and world. In her career of more than 30 years, Finney has written six books and hundreds of poems and essays that explore and confront the experiences that have shaped life in the South for herself and countless other African Americans. Her most recent book, Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry (Northwestern University Press, 2020) is an enduring love song to her father and 400 years of African American fight and ingenuity. Finney is Carolina Distinguished Professor at USC in Columbia where she is also Director of the Ernest A. Finney Jr. Cultural Arts Center, a 21st century arts and cultural center named for her father, an exciting endeavor deeply planted in the twin soils of creativity and Black cultural expression.

This program is part "Free To Speak! A Convening on Art, Slavery and Reconciliation", a 2-day celebration of Black creativity, agency, and memory. Inspired by UMMA’s presentation of Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, 'Free to Speak' hopes to contribute to urgent national conversations about racial justice while exploring what it means to exhibit materials made by enslaved people in Southeast Michigan, especially in light of the region’s relationships to the Underground Railroad, the Great Migration, the explosion of Black music and culture, and ongoing racial protest and liberation movements. Part storytelling, part scholarly deep dive, the discussions and diverse perspectives that emerge will offer new possibilities to inspire change in the arts and culture field.   To see the full schedule and to RSVP, click here.

The Arts & Resistance Theme Semester, organized by UMMA and the U-M Arts Initiative, is generously supported by the U-M Office of the Provost, the U-M College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, and Erica Gervais Pappendick and Ted Pappendick.
