Chou, Y. (CM) – Exploring Future AI-Mediated Health Creator–Audience Interactions on Social Media: Transparency, Care, and Accountability
Virtual Event
Health and wellness content creators play an important role in shaping how people receive and engage with health information on social media. Beyond delivering information, they also convey care, build trust, and sustain relationships with audiences. As generative AI (GenAI) becomes increasingly integrated into creator work, existing research has examined AI disclosure, AI-mediated communication, and […]
Weber, Z. (ECE) – Sustainable Bioinspired Polymer–Mineral Composites for Adaptable Repair in Conservation Applications
Hybrid Event
Every year, tens of thousands of tons of plaster-based materials are used in restoration and conservation applications, many of which are derived from non-renewable sources and discarded at the end of their service life. Here, we introduce a biodegradable, bio-derived composite based on chitosan and calcium carbonate that is composed of simple, widely available constituents […]
ECE Seminar: Advanced Sensing and AI Technologies for Food Safety and Precision Agriculture
Presenter: Hamid Jafarbiglu, Agricultural Technology Evaluator, Big Idea Ventures Description: California agriculture is increasingly adopting organic and regenerative production systems, creating a growing need for technologies capable of monitoring complex agricultural environments, assessing food safety risks, and supporting data-driven management decisions. Emerging tools such as drones, hyperspectral scanning, environmental sensors, and artificial intelligence provide new […]
Harsh, B. (CSE) – SUPERSCALAR, MULTIPLE TAKEN BRANCH PREDICTOR
Hybrid Event
This work addresses improvements in branch prediction mechanism to support high perfor- mance processors. The state of the art aims to balance the prediction latency and prediction accuracy using multi level correcting predictors . Prior published work focusses on scalar designs and prediction accuracy improvement for hard to predict branches employing tailor made, non generic […]
Castro, S. (CSE) – Agentic AI for Security: Adversarial Foundations for Autonomous Cyber Operations
Hybrid Event
Autonomous Cyber Operations (ACO) agents promise effective security automation with minimal human intervention, yet their deployment raises three interconnected challenges: agents must be realistic (reproducing diverse attacker sophistication), secure (preventing autonomy from becoming an attack surface), and feasible (safely replicating human behavior at full autonomy). We argue that these three properties are requirements for ACO […]
Liu, P. (CM) – Reimagining Workplace Concern Reporting: From Emotional Harm to Co-Designed Futures
Virtual Event
Workplace concern reporting infrastructure, including human resources (HR) portals, grievance procedures, and whistleblower hotlines, is the formal channel through which employees in most organizations raise concerns about harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. Yet existing research consistently finds that these systems fail the employees they are meant to protect: reports stall, concerns get filtered, retaliation occurs, and […]
Test Anxiety Workshop for International Students
Virtual Event
Test Anxiety Workshop Facilitated by Jen Emmett, MA (Counseling & Psychological Services) Date: May 26, 2026 Time: 1:30 – 2:30 pm Zoom link: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/6299323184?pwd=n8SrOCp6zqZHgSjNnlOZrLUjaptSJt.1 Do you freeze up during exams? You know this feeling: you worked hard all quarter and studied for the final, but suddenly your mind is blank. Learn practical, effective strategies for managing […]
The Deep Read: The Literature and Poetics of Fungi Salon
Join us for a salon-style event at the Hay Barn on campus where we will hold a salon focused on the literary and poetic influence of fungi and its relation to Entangled Life. The salon will feature Professors Hannah Cole (Assistant Professor of Literature at UC Santa Cruz), Brenda Hillman (Professor Emerita of Poetry at Saint Mary’s […]
