This dissertation addresses two questions in survey methodology: How can we produce granular, reliable estimates? And how can we validate them without ground truth? We develop three methods: (1) Gaussian data thinning enables out-of-sample model validation using only direct survey estimates and their sampling variances. We characterize its bias–variance tradeoff to guide model comparison. — […]
Presented by: Adam Wang, Assistant Professor of Radiology @ Stanford University Description: “Computed tomography (CT) is a mainstay of medical imaging, but its capabilities are constrained by radiation dose and the information captured by conventional x-ray detectors. Photon-counting CT (PCCT) measures individual x-ray photons and their energies, creating new opportunities for high-resolution, low-dose, and quantitative imaging. […]

Presenter: Dr. Kelli Gutierrez, CSU Monterey Bay Description: Many microswimmers propel themselves using flagella, which are thin, threadlike filaments that beat in a periodic wavelike motion. The flagellar beat emerges from the coupled interactions between the surrounding fluid and the active and passive responses of the flagellum. Previous studies have observed the qualitative shape of […]
Dr. Antonio Roman-Alcalá has been participating in food and farming movements in California for over two decades. He’s founded urban farms, taught organic horticulture, and made documentary films about why food systems continue to be unsustainable. More recently, he’s turned towards participatory, movement-based research to develop an understanding of what “emancipation” might mean for those […]
