SUMMARY:ECE 290 Seminar: "Photon Counting Detectors for X-Ray Imaging"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Jin Zhang\, Chief Engineer @ iRay Group \nDescription: “Photon-counting detectors measure individual X-ray interactions\, enabling fine spatial sampling and energy-resolved imaging. This seminar connects semiconductor signal formation and readout electronics to imaging benefits and practical limitations in medical and industrial applications. It examines charge sharing\, pulse pileup\, calibration drift\, and material decomposition\, then surveys clinical PCCT systems and detector technologies from Siemens\, GE\, Canon\, Varex\, CERN\, DECTRIS\, and iRay. Examples span diagnostic CT\, industrial inspection\, and laboratory and synchrotron measurements. The discussion concludes with research priorities in sensor manufacturing\, high-rate electronics\, module integration\, and quantitative validation. The central question is how to preserve useful spatial and spectral information at realistic flux\, dose\, and throughput\, and demonstrate improvements through fair\, task-specific comparisons.” \nBio: Jin Zhang\, Ph.D.\, is an engineering and R&D leader with more than 20 years of experience in medical imaging\, semiconductor detectors\, and AI-enabled sensing. Currently Chief Engineer at iRay Group\, he previously held leadership roles at Varex Imaging\, Quanergy\, and PerkinElmer\, leading global teams across North America\, Europe\, and Asia. His expertise spans photon-counting detectors\, image processing\, and bringing advanced imaging technologies into commercial products. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester and completed postdoctoral research at Stanford University. He has authored more than 40 publications and holds a granted U.S. patent. \n  \nHosted by: Professor Zhicong Yu\, Electrical & Computer Engineering Department \nWhen: Monday\, October 12th from 10:40 to 11:45 AM PST \nLocation: Classroom E2-194

SUMMARY:Environmental Studies Seminar Series | Caring for cultural keystones: Indigenous-led stewardship\, public values\, and tree genomics in a hotter\, drier world
DESCRIPTION:In person and via Zoom (Meeting ID: 978 5545 8946\, Passcode: 454736).  \nIf you are unable to stream the talk live and need to access a recorded version\, please contact Stacy Philpott at sphilpot@ucsc.edu. A UC Santa Cruz email address is required to access the recording. \nHost: Maywa Montenegro \nSpeaker: Diana Macias\, UC Berkeley \nTitle: Caring for cultural keystones: Indigenous-led stewardship\, public values\, and tree genomics in a hotter\, drier world \nAbstract: Pinyon pine nuts are a culturally significant food source for Indigenous communities who have cared for pinyon-juniper woodlands for millennia. However\, colonial land dispossession and federal land management have disrupted these relationships\, while recent droughts\, wildfires\, pests and pathogens have resulted in extensive tree die-off. In the Eastern Sierra of California and Nevada\, differing knowledge systems and unequal institutional power have limited effective co-management between Tribes and federal agencies. My work asks: how do we sustain the local variation and place-based knowledge that make tree persistence possible? I share results from three studies: (1) An Indigenous-led monitoring network tracking tree health and cone production\, priorities identified by Tribal Environmental Departments of the Big Pine Paiute\, Bishop Paiute\, and Washoe Tribes; (2) a regional household survey that examined whether recognition of pinyon–juniper woodlands\, climate change knowledge\, and demographic factors predicted four measures of environmental care; and (3) a genomic data set from across the pinyon pine species complex which revealed the geography of genetic variation and signatures of climate adaptation. Together\, these projects show how ecological monitoring\, public perspectives\, and population genomics can inform the future of pinyon-juniper woodlands and underscore a broader responsibility to support Indigenous-led stewardship. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:October Slugs and Steins with Professor Matt O'Hara
DESCRIPTION:The Flying Death: Poison\, Plunder\, and the Quest for a Miracle Medicine in the Amazon\nIn the 1930s and 40s\, amateur explorers and hardened plant hunters combed the Amazon in a race to unlock the secrets of curare\, an Indigenous poison they hoped could cure many diseases. The poison they brought north had a major impact on the practice of medicine as it became routinely used in shock therapy to treat psychiatric disorders\, transformed anesthesia and surgery across the globe\, and led to a Swiss scientist’s Nobel prize. Drawing on thousands of pages of archival documents and hours of oral histories and interviews\, O’Hara brings to life this epic quest\, a stranger-than-fiction story that moves from Indigenous lands in the Amazon to rogue medical trials to cutthroat strategizing in corporate boardrooms. He also poses searching questions about who receives the glory and profit when medical progress is made\, and who pays the price. \nMatt O’Hara is professor of history at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He is the author or editor of four books on the history of Latin America. This talk draws on his forthcoming book for which he was named a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar. \nREGISTER
