With climate risks growing, climate action facing political headwinds in many countries, and international cooperation increasingly challenged, Lily Hsueh’s Corporations at Climate Crossroads illuminates how and under what conditions the world’s largest corporations have taken proactive action on climate change during the years leading up to and after the Paris Agreement. Drawing on insights from […]
Presenter: Ranjit Jhala, UCSD Abstract: Rust has risen as a language of choice for new systems code — from OS kernels to hypervisors, firmware and run-times — as it is memory safe and provides the sort of abstractions needed for efficient low-level systems implementation. We present Flux, a refinement type checker for Rust that shows how […]

Organoids are three-dimensional tissue cultures that model real organs and serve as valuable tools for studying development, disease, and treatment response. Traditional methods, which rely on manual handling and incubators, limit consistency and real-time monitoring. To address these issues, we developed a modular microfluidic platform that integrates automated feeding, live fluorescence imaging, and environmental control […]

Most optimization problems face the challenge of computing an optimum solution requiring superpolynomial time. In particular, they are classified as NP-hard problems that have no polynomial-time algorithm to date. Instead, computer scientists turn to find an approximate solution and create numerous elegant algorithms. However, in the modern era, computational environments have changed drastically, and we […]
Presenter: Professor Andy Moore, UCSC Ocean Sciences Description: Linear inverse models have enjoyed considerable popularity in the geosciences, particularly in the arena of climate research and climate prediction, for several decades as a straightforward approach to dimension reduction and streamlining computational efficiency. The most common approach is to truncate the system by retaining the leading […]

Presenter: Suresh Jagganathan, Purdue University Abstract: Unlike program verifiers, symbolic execution and property-based testing tools underapproximate program behavior: they aim to report only real bugs (no false positives), at the cost of potentially missing some (false negatives). Recent work has sought to place such tools on a more formal footing, primarily through the development of incorrectness […]
