Audiences are invited to Making an Exoneree, a reception and film screening featuring the premiere of five student-made short documentaries that reveal the facts—and falsehoods—of wrongful conviction cases from around the country. Over the Winter and Spring quarters, 15 UCSC undergraduate students in the Making an Exoneree course dedicated themselves to uncovering the truth about […]
Presenter: Sung-Mo “Steve” Kang, Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, UC Santa Cruz Description: Recently, applications of artificial intelligence (AI) have far outpaced Moore’s law in chip development, thus […]
Presented by: Alex Olwal Description: “In this talk, I will share my perspectives on the evolution and future of human-centered augmentation, through the lens of two decades of research and […]
Host: ENVS Personnel Committee Groundwater is a critical source of California’s water supply. Many basins in critical overdraft are now being managed under the 2015 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) […]
Presenter: Denis Titov, Assistant Professor, University of California, Berkeley Description: Cells run thousands of chemical reactions simultaneously, and these reactions must be precisely controlled—like a thermostat that prevents overheating. When […]
Lead the next wave of innovation in life sciences and data As biotechnology and data analytics converge, the demand for professionals who can interpret complex biological data and drive discovery […]
Recently, a class of non-invasive hardware side-channel attacks has been discovered in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These attacks extract remnants of prior users’ activity that persist as transistor defect states […]
Ion transfer as the movement of charged species across spaces and interfaces is the basis of signaling in nearly all biological systems. My research is grounded in the idea that […]
The electric grid is essential to modern society, and recent developments such as renewable energy sources (RESs), battery energy storage systems (ESSs), and microgrids (MGs) have necessitated novel computational methods […]
Intracellular symbionts are microorganisms, such as bacteria, that live within host cells. These associations are widespread throughout the invertebrate tree of life, and can perform a diversity of key metabolic, […]
Join us for snacks and to meet program leaders and recruitment specialists and learn about the opportunities available for careers at IOA! Institute on Aging is a nonprofit that was formed […]
This event celebrates and highlights the work of UCSC graduate students in all academic divisions. Enrolled graduate students will present either a poster, talk, or mixed media presentation. Judges will […]
Centromeres ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division, yet the organization and regulation of centromeric chromatin within satellite DNA arrays remain incompletely understood. Here, we leverage the complete diploid human […]
Please join us on June 3rd for the final Anthropology Colloquium of 25-26, “Precarious Accumulation: Fast Fashion Bosses in Transnational Guangzhou,” featuring Nellie Chu of Duke Kunshan University (UCSC PhD ’14).
Cooperative two-player play produces distinctive social experiences between players: intimacy, trust, cooperation, communitas. Since Huizinga, the frame within which these experiences arise has been called the Magic Circle: a temporarily-set-apart […]
As quantum computing transitions from theory to practice, understanding which algorithms suit near-term devices becomes critical. Current quantum computers are severely constrained by limited qubit counts, short coherence times, and […]
Many genetics pipelines start by aligning sequencing reads to a reference genome. Aligners attempt to find the position in the reference sequence which best matches the read sequence, but this […]
Presenter: Stephen Montgomery, Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical Data Science, Computer Science, Stanford University Description: N/A Bio: Stephen Montgomery is an Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical […]
Self-reflection holds significant potential for learning, behavior change, and emotional processing, yet designing technologies that effectively support it remains challenging, particularly when reflection involves difficult experiences such as failure. Most […]
