Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818009@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241119T200616 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T163000 SUMMARY:Other:Down the River with Elzada Clover DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the groundbreaking achievements of Elzada Clover.

Jessie Yang \n\n\nAbstract:\nSocially Assistive Robots (SARs) help humans through social interactions. As robots are increasingly integrated into human spaces\, a key challenge is enabling them to navigate semi-structured environments. This thesis addresses robot behavior and motion planning in dynamic\, human-centric scenarios\, using a tour guide robot as a test case.\n\nThe first part focuses on tour planning with a shared map created collaboratively by Providers (managers) and Robots to guide Clients (visitors). The planner dynamically adapts routes based on constraints\, highlighting the importance of shared maps in human-robot tasks.\n\nThe second part explores low-level motion planning. We start with crowd navigation\, designing an agent to move through groups without disrupting the human flow. We then tackle narrow crossings\, using Smooth Maximum Entropy Deep Inverse Reinforcement Learning (S-MEDIRL)\, the robot learns from raw data to yield and avoid deadlock without relying on handcrafted heuristics (see attached gif). \n\nWe then evaluate Foundation Models in Socially Assistive settings\, demonstrating a robot as a greeter and tour guide at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA). The second part explores incorporating feedback from Vision and Language Models to distinguish between qualitatively good and bad social behaviors. We evaluate the efficacy of these generalized models in supervising and improving socially aware navigation\, specifically in the narrow crossing scenario.\n\nIn conclusion\, this thesis develops motion and behavior planning modules to enable socially aware robot navigation in human environments.\n\nZoom passcode: fetch UID:130473-21866091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241209T100954 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T180000 SUMMARY:Other:Poster Sale DESCRIPTION:Get ready to transform your space with the Annual Poster Sale!

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621488@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

These are states of Being and form the foundation of psychological balance\, emotional wellness\, and mental clarity\, leading to a life filled with happiness\, fulfillment\, and purpose.\n\nCourage is the mental or moral strength to take action in the face of danger\, difficulty\, uncertainty\, or pain without being overcome by fear. It involves the willingness to confront challenges\, stand up for one's beliefs\, or take risks\, even when the outcome is uncertain or when doing so requires significant personal sacrifice.\nIn day to day life\,\, courage manifests through behaviors and decisions that reflect integrity\, accountability\, and a commitment to growth and ethical action. Here are some ways it is demonstrated:\n*1. Speaking up*\n *Addressing Unethical Behavior:* Reporting misconduct\, even when it may lead to backlash or discomfort.\n *Challenging the Status Quo:* Voicing concerns or proposing new ideas\, even if they go against established practices or leadership opinions.\n*2. Taking Responsibility*\n*Admitting Mistakes:* Owning up to errors rather than shifting blame to others.\n*Learning from Feedback:* Accepting and acting on constructive criticism to improve performance.\n*3. Making Tough Decisions*\n*Prioritizing Integrity Over Popularity: *Making decisions that align with organizational values\, even if they are unpopular or difficult.\n*Managing Conflict:* Addressing interpersonal issues directly and professionally to resolve disagreements constructively.\n*4. Pursuing Innovation and Risk*\nEmbracing Uncertainty: Taking calculated risks for growth or improvement despite fear of failure.\nAdvocating for Change: Being a champion for transformation and challenging outdated processes.\n*5. Supporting Others*\n*Defending Colleagues:* Standing up for team members when they are treated unfairly.\n*Providing Honest Feedback:* Offering constructive input\, even when it's uncomfortable\, to help others grow.\n*6. Persevering Through Challenges*\n*Resilience in Adversity:* Staying committed and optimistic in the face of setbacks.\n*Leading by Example: *Demonstrating calmness and confidence during crises to inspire others.\n \nCourage in the workplace fosters an environment of trust\, innovation\, and accountability\, ultimately contributing to both individual and organizational success.\n\nIn this session\, you’ll learn practical strategies to act with Courage even in circumstances that are intimidating. Courage fosters confidence\, innovation and risk taking. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore this foundational cornerstone of well-being though in depth discussions and insights from meditation.\n\nThe session is Remote over Zoom and upon registration you will have the Zoom MeetingId and Passcode\nSee Related Links for registration.

These impairments can drastically reduce their mobility and independence\, creating a need for advanced assistive technologies. This defense addresses these challenges by exploring how humans move and learn new motor skills\, and how these insights may inform better assistive technologies\, especially through brain-machine interfaces.\n\nWe first focus on the biomechanics of the ankle joint\, studying the reliability of its stiffness\, viscosity\, and inertia while standing and walking. The results show that stiffness and viscosity can be reliably estimated and may be valuable as a clinical metric as well as a goal for biomimetic prosthetic control. \n\nThen\, we show the development of a new open-source web application for motor learning experiment design and show its validation for replicating previous studies\, as well as for investigating how motor learning is transferred between limbs. Our results show that even short periods of rest can greatly improve motor skill learning as well as the existence of interlimb transfer learning.\n\nFinally\, we apply these insights in the context of brain-machine interfaces\, assistive devices that have helped restore motor and speech control by decoding signals from the brain. We evaluate the trade-offs of using an interpretable algorithmic approach that combined a principled approach with deep-learning for decoding finger movements from brain data. We found that explainability may not need to be sacrificed for good performance\, and that an interpretable algorithm can provide insights into motor control as well as future avenues for model improvement. \n\nOverall\, by integrating these distinct but related areas\, this defense contributes to a comprehensive understanding of human motor control and how to improve it. Together\, these contributions provide a foundation for assistive technologies that can restore mobility\, enhance independence\, and improve quality of life for individuals living with motor impairments.\n\nFRB 2300 and on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96288303600 UID:130389-21865939@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130389 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250102T133632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250109T160000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Winter Open House DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a new semester!

Healthcare is an essential aspect of our lives\, though with patient safety\, positive clinical outcomes\, and cost-efficiency as paramount. These sometimes opposing aims can be unified through patient- and outcomes-focused clinical translational research to reimagine and advance the standard of care.\n\nThis talk will discuss the application of real-time\, label-free\, noninvasive optical or biophotonics-based diagnostic approaches\, like optical coherence tomography and nonlinear imaging\, to capture patient-specific assessment of ‘the state of the tissue’ - structure and function under normal and diseased conditions. Using these diagnostic tools as part of a control or feedback loop\, the therapeutic parameter space (frequency\, dose strength\, interval\, etc.) for emerging treatment approaches can be observed and optimized.\n\nSeveral examples to improve health outcomes through development and application of this combined assessment and therapeutic pipeline will be presented. In neuromodulation\, there is a need to assess device safety and efficacy to meet regulatory performance metrics. For surgical technology\, reducing cancer re-excision rates can benefit from real-time identification of tissue margins. In middle ear disease\, the diagnostic standard can be improved to ensure standard of care treatments are delivered as accurately as possible. Looking towards the future\, the assessment and treatment of otitis media and other diseases can be transformed by developing plasma medicine and other emerging therapeutic approaches to reduce pathogenic load and cure disease without using antibiotics.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Butler Family Postdoctoral Fellow\, Georgia Institute of Technology and Cambridge University DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Modern data pipelines are growing both in size and complexity\, introducing tradeoffs across various aspects of the associated learning challenges. A key source of complexity\, and the focus of this talk\, is missing data. Estimators designed to handle missingness often rely on strong assumptions about the mechanism by which data is missing\, such as that the data is missing completely at random (MCAR). By contrast\, real data is rarely MCAR. In the absence of these strong assumptions\, can we still trust these estimators?\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a framework that bridges the gap between the MCAR and assumption-free settings. This framework reveals an inherent tradeoff between estimation accuracy and robustness to modeling assumptions. Focusing on the fundamental task of mean estimation\, I will then present estimators which optimally navigate this tradeoff\, offering both improved robustness and performance.\n\nhttps://kabirverchand.github.io/ UID:129237-21862365@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129237 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250110T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250110T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250110T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

In algebra and representation theory\, it is the origin of quantum groups\; q-deformations are important for knot invariants\, combinatorial enumeration\, discrete geometry... In mathematical physics\, q-deformations are often understood as \"quantizations\". \n\nThe recently introduced notion of a q-deformed real number is based on the geometric idea of invariance by a modular group action.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818011@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250111T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250111T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621490@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250111T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250111T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818012@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250112T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250112T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621491@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250112T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250112T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way.

Bromilow\, a doctoral student in orchestral conducting at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, will give a pre-concert lecture at 3:15pm to discuss the works on the program. \n\nThe performance will be about 95 minutes long and will be performed without intermission. \n\nIt will open with Toast of the Town by Quinn Mason\, which premiered in 2021 and will be conducted by assistant conductor Michael Roest. Described by the composer as “a festive and fun overture to an operetta that doesn't exist” it evokes light musical drama such as Gilbert and Sullivan and provides a suitable sense of celebration for the anniversary. \n\nThe showpiece of the concert is Anton Bruckner’s Symphony Number 8 in C Minor\, which premiered in Vienna in the composer’s native Austria in 1892. It’s been likened to a “cathedral of music” because of its grand scale and themes\, which draw from Austrian folklore\, the composer’s deep faith\, the music of Wagner and Beethoven\, and even current events of his day. It transports the listener through darkness and light\, despair and triumph\, dreams and death\, leading to a magnificent ending. \n \nThe LSO’s musicians include faculty\, staff\, students\, alumni and their family members from across U-M’s medical\, health sciences\, life sciences and engineering community. The LSO is part of Gifts of Art\, which brings the world of art and music to Michigan Medicine\, U-M’s academic medical center. \n \nThe concert is open to all with no tickets required.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Here\, we extend a cell cycle model originally presented by Gerard and Goldbeter [12] in order to capture the effects of E6 and E7 on key actors in the cell cycle. Results suggest that E6 is sufficient to reverse p53-induced quiescence\, while E7 is sufficient to reverse p16INK4a-induced quiescence\; both E6 and E7 are necessary when p53 and p16INK4a are both active. Moreover\, E7 appears to play a role as a “growth factor substitute”\, inducing cell division in the absence of growth factor. Low levels of E7 may permit regular cell division\, but the results suggest that higher levels of E7 dysregulate the cell cycle in ways that may destabilize the cellular genome. We additionally explore factors related to susceptibility to apoptosis in HPV-positive cells\, with results suggesting that while p16INK4a may be important in preventing apoptosis in such cells\, this is unlikely to be due to stabilization of the cell cycle. The mechanisms explored here provide opportunities for developing new treatment targets that take advantage of the cell cycle regulatory system to prevent HPV-related cancer effects. In particular\, suppression of p16INK4a activity may be a valuable target as an adjuvant to chemotherapy in HPV-positive cancers.\n\nAdditionally\, we present a novel implementation of the standard SIR epidemiology model\, refined to use partial differential equations instead of the usual ordinary differential equations. This enables the model to more easily consider factors like differing levels of vulnerability in a given population or different states of disease progression without needing to explicitly add more equations to the system. Case studies illustrating the use of this new framework are given\, and some speculation on ways in which this model may be made further abstract are included at the end.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Neutrinos are also emitted in large quantities from the nuclear fuel cycle\, which has led to the emergence of applied antineutrino physics as a sub-discipline that seeks to make the use of neutrino detection in nuclear energy and security. Directly detecting dark matter and detecting MeV-scale neutrinos share many technological challenges\, which has led to synergistic research in the communities working in those two areas. This talk will first discuss an emerging approach to detecting neutrinos with opaque scintillators. By constraining scintillation photons to a small volume and extracting them using wavelength-shifting fibers\, interaction topology can be reconstructed with excellent spatial resolution. Originally conceived for reactor neutrino detection\, opaque scintillators can relax the material doping constraints and be functionalized for various rare event detection problems where backgrounds must be strongly suppressed. The talk will then discuss our work in detecting low-energy nuclear recoils in germanium and noble elements that have implications on the detection sensitivity of dark matter and nuclear fuel cycle neutrinos.

Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621492@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250129T063154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Networking Event - Respiratory Therapist (Austin\, MN) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Currently offering a $10k signon bonus and a minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Austin\, MN? Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event.  *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think.

Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk explores the intersection of the economic and the linguistic and the confusions thereof in interactions between English and Persian during the long nineteenth century. Underscoring contested moments in transcultural exchange—when a presumed gift turns out to be a commodity or a bribe—I show\, negotiations over exchange circularly feed into testy bargains over naming and translation. Economic speculations entail speculations about the linguistic tissue that contextualizes a given exchange. Expressions of pleasantry and generosity begin to pose a glitch in colonial and semi-colonial encounters with the other\, disturbing the illusion of transparency at the heart of the colonial idea of economic modernity.\n\nNiloofar Sarlati is a 2024-25 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature.

Molecular complexes can provide well-defined molecular models that provide chemical insight into structure and bonding\, spectroscopy\, and reactivity of these often transient species. Synthesis of these complexes is often highly challenging\, and molecular design can play a critical role in enabling access. In a long-standing project\, we have shown that a modular family of strong donor ligands are able to enforce three-fold symmetry at metal ions\, providing a platform for stabilizing iron complexes containing metal-ligand multiple bonds. In early work\, we demonstrated that isolable nitride complexes are active in multielectron nitrogen atom transfer reactions to a variety of substrates\, including unsaturated hydrocarbons. Further elaboration of nitrogen atom transfer as a synthetic strategy has enabled the construction of new ligands and binuclear complexes. More recently\, we have successfully created iron complexes with other multiply bonded atomic ligands\, including oxo\, sulfido and carbide. The accumulating library of complexes provides the foundation for ongoing studies aimed at understanding underlying trends in the fundamental reactions of these multiply bonded atomic ligands.

In this talk\, I will discuss exciton and exciton-polariton properties in two different 2D vdW semiconductors. In the first part\, I will report strongly coupled exciton-polaritons of an anisotropic 2D magnet\, CrSBr\, integrated with an anisotropic photonic crystal (PhC) cavity. In this system\, the spin\, atomic lattice\, and photonic lattices anisotropies are strongly correlated\, giving rise to exceptionally strong coupling between engineered anisotropic optical modes and anisotropic excitons in CrSBr and a highly tunable polariton polarization by tens of degrees by many means. In the second part\, I will discuss how the twist between two CrSBr monolayers leads to tunable exciton states and anisotropies. Cavity- and twist-tuning on 2D materials provide new opportunities for both fundamental understanding of quantum materials and photonic technology.\n\n\nDechen Zhang\nU-M Physics\n\nField Tunable BKT and Quantum Phase Transitions in Spin-1/2 Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet\n\nQuantum magnetism is one of the most active fields for exploring exotic phases and phase transitions. The recently synthesized Na2BaCo(PO4)2 (NBCP) is an ideal material incarnation of the spin-1/2 easy axis triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF). Experimental evidence shows that NBCP hosts the spin supersolid state with a giant magnetocaloric effect. It was also proposed that the applied magnetic field B can drive the system through Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) and other richer quantum phase transitions. However\, detecting these transitions is a huge challenge because they onset at extremely low-temperature T at around 60 mK\, and the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of these transitions requires high sensitivity. With the help of our newly developed gradient force magnetometer in a dilution refrigerator\, we constructed the contour diagram of the magnetic susceptibility in the B-T phase diagram in temperatures as cold as 30 mK. These results provide a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the several field-tunable quantum phase transitions and BKT melting of the spin supersolidity\, which are especially significant when their giant magnetocaloric effects highlight potential applications for sub-Kelvin refrigeration under concerns about global helium shortages.

State-of-the-art methods often rely on building efficient dynamics for probability measures. This talk examines the analysis and design of such dynamics\, drawing insights from and targeting applications in high-dimensional scientific computing. \n\nIn the first part\, we uncover and analyze a novel 'delocalization of bias' phenomenon in MCMC with Langevin dynamics. While sampling bias increases with dimensionality in full coordinates\, individual coordinates can exhibit nearly dimension-independent behavior. This finding suggests that the curse of dimensionality in sampling may be mitigated at the level of low-dimensional marginals. In the second part\, we propose a generative diffusion dynamics design for probabilistic forecasting\, focusing on benchmark applications in stochastically forced Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that a specific design of diffusion coefficients minimizes novel statistical errors at the level of path measures and yields Föllmer processes\, which also offer a Bayesian interpretation of the optimal design. We conclude with a real-data scientific application in black hole imaging\, where we combine generative diffusion dynamics with MCMC for rigorous posterior sampling. Overall\, the talk demonstrates how mathematical understanding and methodological design of high-dimensional sampling dynamics can synergize with insights and applications in scientific computing.

With the transition to electronic health systems\, growing collaborations among institutions\, and the rapid advancement of genome sequencing technologies\, health data has become more accessible than ever before. However\, the large-scale nature of health data presents unique challenges for statistics and data science in distilling\, integrating\, and generalizing knowledge\, due to its high dimensionality\, diverse modalities\, complex structures\, and more.\n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight several efforts I have undertaken in recent years to address these challenges using statistical\, probabilistic\, and AI-driven tools\, ranging from practical applications to the theoretical foundations of data science. First\, I will focus on the theoretically guaranteed learning of a comprehensive medical knowledge graph that integrates heterogeneous relationships from various sources by employing embedding-based neural networks combined with representation learning. Next\, I will discuss a method for harmonizing data across multiple institutions using graph neural networks (GNNs)\, along with a theoretical analysis of GNN performance in graph alignment tasks through random geometric graphs. Finally\, I will present a framework for unifying the representation of biomedical concepts and genetic markers by leveraging large language models (LLMs). Through these efforts\, I have developed an extensive toolbox for knowledge integration to better understand health-related outcomes and advance the use of biomedical data in clinical practice.\n\nhttps://www.suqil.com/ UID:129238-21862366@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129238 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250106T151557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T190000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Winterfest Central Campus DESCRIPTION:Join us for our largest student org fair of the semester.

Love & Special Sauce DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\n\n\"I've been in the game a long time\, but I've always considered myself a student\,\" says G. Love. \"Finishing this album with Keb Mo' felt like graduation.\"\n\n\nRecorded in Nashville with a slew of special guests including Robert Randolph\, Marcus King\, and Roosevelt Collier\, 'The Juice' is indeed diploma-worthy. Co-produced and co-written with GRAMMY-winning icon Keb Mo\,' it's an electrifying collection\, one that tips its cap to more than a century of blues greats even as it offers its own distinctly modern pop spin on the genre\, mixing programmed beats and hip-hop grooves with blistering guitar and sacred steel. G. Love's lyrics are both personal and political here\, artfully balancing his appreciation for the simple joys in life with his obligation to speak out for justice and equality\, and his performances are suitably riotous and rousing to match\, with infectious call-and-response hooks and funky sing-along choruses at every turn. Easy as it is to succumb to cynicism these days\, the songs on 'The Juice' refuse\, insisting instead on hope and determination in the face of doubt and despair.\n\n\n\"I've always tried to make music that's a force for positivity\,\" G. Love explains. \"It was important to me that this album be something that could empower the folks who are out there fighting the good fight every day. I wanted to make a rallying cry for empathy and unity.\"\n\n\nBorn Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia\, PA\, G. Love grew up equally enthralled with folk\, blues\, and rap\, devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After migrating to Boston\, he and his band\, Special Sauce\, broke out in 1994 with their Gold-selling self-titled debut\, which earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next twenty-five years\, G. Love would go on to release seven more similarly lauded studio studios albums with Special Sauce (plus four solo albums on his own)\, solidifying his place in music history as a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as \"a new and urgent hybrid\" and NPR called a \"musical melting pot.\" G. Love's magnetic stage presence\, meanwhile\, made him a fixture on festival lineups from Bonnaroo to Lollapalooza\, and his relentless appetite for tour and collaboration landed him on the road and in the studio with artists as diverse as Lucinda Williams\, Dave Matthews\, The Avett Brothers\, Jack Johnson\, and DJ Logic.\n\n\nG. Love is excited to offer the Pre-Show VIP option. G. Love’s Pre-Show Pop Off is an ALL REQUEST storytellers solo acoustic performance by G. Love and a one of a kind merch package. The pre-show pop off also includes early entry\, a Q&A and photo opportunity with G. Love\, and early access to the merch booth.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621493@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250130T063154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Networking Event - Respiratory Therapist (Mankato\, MN) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Southwest Minnesota?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event. *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.  UID:130139-21865526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130139 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Investigative Journalism in the Baltics: Breaking the Kremlin's Operations in Estonia and Latvia DESCRIPTION:Despite the Baltic states of Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania joining the European Union and NATO already 20 years ago\, Vladimir Putin has never let go of his imperial desire for Russia to regain control over the three small states to its West. The Kremlin has done this through covertly funding political parties in Estonia and Latvia\, setting up elaborate propaganda and disinformation networks\, hiring thugs to burn down museums and throw Molotov cocktails at military facilities\, arranging cyber-attacks against state institutions\, and increasing direct military presence at the Baltic countries’ borders. Award-winning investigative reporters Holger Roonemaa (Estonia) and Inga Springe (Latvia) have spent years revealing Russian hybrid war efforts to sow chaos in the Baltic countries.\n \n Is Putin’s goal to reconquer the U.S allies in North-Eastern Europe or to use the Baltic countries to prove the inefficacy of NATO’s collective defense? What are the Baltic lessons-learned to consider in the U.S? Roonemaa and Springe will discuss the Russian tactics in and against Estonia and Latvia\, as well as the methods to counter it.\n \n Holger Roonemaa is a 2024-25 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. He manages the investigative and fact-checking team at the daily news site Delfi Estonia. He is also an editor with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). He has covered money laundering\, corruption and evasion of sanctions\, as well as topics related to national security\, espionage and propaganda. In recent years\, the majority of his investigations have focused on Russian security threats in Baltic countries.\n \n Inga Spriņģe is an award-winning investigative journalist\, broadcaster\, lecturer\, and one of the two founders of The Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism Re:Baltica\, which is based in Latvia. Springe is a member of the major international investigative journalism networks the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. Her topics cover propaganda\, disinformation\, and social justice.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Today\, more than 100 years later\, experimental control of certain physical systems described by quantum theory has led to a tantalizing pursuit. Can we build a computer that stores and acts on information encoded in the quantum mechanical wave function of a physical system? Can such a machine be made computationally useful? Could it be made general purpose? In this talk\, I will discuss the physics advances that have created platforms for the pursuit of a quantum computer\, along with key areas of research that can unlock new capabilities for future machines. In particular\, I will describe the need for multi-platform integration\; the intrinsic role of quantum communication\; and the need for advances in quantum computer architecture.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

However\, existing analyses of the algorithm for strongly log-concave distributions suggest that\, as the dimension $d$ of the problem increases\, the number of iterations required to ensure convergence within a desired error in the $W_2$ metric scales in proportion to $d$ or $\sqrt{d}$. In this work\, we argue that\, despite this poor scaling of the $W_2$ error for the full set of variables\, the behavior for a \emph{small number} of variables can be significantly better: a number of iterations proportional to $K$\, up to logarithmic terms in $d$\, often suffices for the algorithm to converge to within a desired $W_2$ error for all $K$-marginals. We refer to this effect as \textit{delocalization of bias}. We show that the delocalization effect does not hold universally and prove its validity for Gaussian distributions and strongly log-concave distributions with certain sparse interactions. Our analysis relies on a novel $W_{2\,\ell^\infty}$ metric to measure convergence. A key technical challenge we address is the lack of a one-step contraction property in this metric. Finally\, we use asymptotic arguments to explore potential generalizations of the delocalization effect beyond the Gaussian and sparse interactions setting.

These varieties have surprising finiteness properties (e.g.\, Draisma proved that the descending chain condition holds for GL-stable closed subsets) and they can be useful for studying asymptotic properties in algebra (e.g.\, Stillman's conjecture). The basic theory of these varieties has been developed over the last few years. I will explain a somewhat deeper result\, obtained recently by Bik\, Draisma\, Eggermont\, and me\, which constructs a sufficient supply of curves on GL-varieties. I will not assume any prior knowledge about GL-varieties.

The land struggle carried out by the Tupinambá of Serra do Padeiro\, in Southern Bahia\, in the Northeast of the country\, provides a striking example of Indigenous mobilization to assert territorial rights. In 2004\, they began to carry out direct actions\, called *retomadas de terras*\, to recover their territory\, which\, from the end of the 19th century onwards\, had been turned by non-Indigenous settlers into cocoa farms and resorts. By doing so\, they have been able to revert the diaspora triggered by the loss of their lands. Despite being heavily targeted by criminalization\, paramilitary attacks\, and police brutality\, after 95 *retomadas*\, they regained possession of around two-thirds of the territory\, even though the official demarcation of their land\, which also began in 2004\, is not over yet. Through their mobilization\, the Tupinambá has forged a thriving collective project aimed at creating conditions for viver bem (living well)\, which forms part of broader ongoing decolonization processes. This presentation focuses on the territorialization process among the Tupinambá\, examining both the history of dispossession and the territorial recovery carried out by the Indigenous community\, also drawing connections between the *retomadas* and the reversion of the Tupinambá diaspora.\n\nDaniela Fernandes Alarcon (Ph.D. Social Anthropology\, National Museum\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, 2020) is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Museum. Over the past two years\, she worked at the Brazilian Ministry of Indigenous Peoples as a general coordinator in the Department of Mediation of Indigenous Land Conflicts. From 2021-22\, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow with the Project “Dispossessions in the Americas: The Extraction of Bodies\, Land\, and Heritage from La Conquista to the Present” at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, from 2017-18\, she was a visiting scholar at the LLILAS Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past 15 years\, she has developed in-depth studies among Indigenous peoples and other traditional communities in Brazil\, focusing on territorial rights and the mobilizations of these groups to defend their territories\, lifeways\, and collective projects. Her master’s thesis\, published in book form in 2019\, earned the Norm and Sibby Whitten Publication Subvention Award for Anthropological Monographs on Lowland South America by the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America.

The aim of each player is to minimize the expected value of her cost\, which is a function of the player's state and the empirical measure of the states of all the players. Our aim is to determine the N→∞ asymptotic behavior of the upper order statistics of the player's states under Nash equilibrium (the Nash states). For this purpose\, we consider also a system of interacting diffusions which is constructed by using the Master PDE of the game and approximates the system of the Nash states\, and we improve an L2 estimate for the distance between the drifts of the two systems which has been used for establishing Central Limit Theorems and Large Deviations Principles for the Nash states in the past. By differentiating the Master PDE\, we obtain that estimate also in L∞\, which allows us to control the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a Girsanov transformation that connects the two systems. The latter allows us to reduce the problem to the case of N uncontrolled diffusions with standard mean-field interaction in the drifts\, which has been treated in a previous work.\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Given a single noncompact finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M\, the theorem provides a construction for a countably infinite family of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds converging to M in a geometric sense. The theorem is a major source of examples of 3-manifolds admitting hyperbolic structures\, and closely connects the topology of a 3-manifold to the analysis of the character variety of its fundamental group in PSL(2\, C). In this talk\, we discuss some analogs and generalizations of Thurston's theorem in the context of general (arbitrary-rank) semisimple Lie groups. We will explain how our results provide a way to construct new examples of Anosov and relatively Anosov representations into higher-rank Lie groups\; we will also discuss upcoming joint work with Jeff Danciger\, which applies our results to construct exotic new examples of convex cocompact and geometrically finite groups acting on complex hyperbolic 3-space.
