SUMMARY:CM Seminar - "How Technology-Mediated Food Interactions Support Family Connection and Routine Reconstruction"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Aswati Panicker \nDescription: “In this talk\, I draw on work in human-food interaction (HFI) to examine how food can serve as a rich interaction medium for connection and routine reconstruction in long-distance families. I highlight insights from three of my studies that explore this question across different technological forms. First\, I discuss how families navigate shifting meanings of “healthy eating” during life transitions\, and the tensions that arise when disclosing new goals and priorities in health-sharing or tracking tools. Second\, I show how family members expressed hesitations\, value conflicts\, and visions for cultural or playful moments when imagining embodied technology such as a social robot within their domestic spaces. Third\, through a mobile app probe for teaching food knowledge and recipes\, I uncover the subtleties of how family members seek to initiate\, learn\, guide\, or be guided through everyday food practices. Throughout\, I outline design implications and close by reflecting on how technology-mediated food interactions might extend to other contexts and routines beyond family life.” \nBio: Aswati Panicker is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, working with Prof. Christina Chung. Her research is at the intersection of HCI and CSCW\, focusing on how technologies are designed and used in social and health-related contexts. She takes a human-centered\, participatory approach and draws on theories from family studies and sociology in her work. She earned her PhD in Informatics from Indiana University Bloomington in July 2025.

SUMMARY:AM Seminar with Dr. Truong Vu
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Truong Vu\, IPAM and MSU \nDescription: We present a framework for the gradient flow of sharp-interface surface energies that couple to embedded curvature active agents. We use a penalty method to develop families of locally incompressible gradient flows that couple interface stretching or compression to local flux of interfacial mass. We establish the convergence of the penalty method to an incompressible flow both formally for a broad family of surface energies and rigorously for a more narrow class of surface energies. \nBio: Dr. Vu received a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Department of Mathematics\, Statistics\, and Computer Science at University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Vu is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (UCLA) and a visiting faculty in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University. \nHosted by: Applied Mathematics
