2026 Right Livelihood International Conference

Hybrid Event

The Right Livelihood International Conference is a five-week global conference exploring how education can strengthen democracy, collective intelligence, and just futures. Bringing together Right Livelihood Laureates, students, faculty, and community partners across continents, the conference combines asynchronous learning with participatory dialogue and collaborative action. Rather than advocating specific outcomes, the conference positions education as a democratic […]

Luat Vuong

ECE 290 Seminar: Speaker Luat T. Vuong – Biospeculative approaches to the “needle in a haystack”: vortex encoders and hybrid optical neural-networks

Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Presenter: Luat Vuong, Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering, UC Riverside Description: Given the growing computational demands of machine learning, how can we scale approaches for sifting through large volumes of data—including patterned or delayed information embedded as “noise”? Many computer vision applications have a strict power budget and demand robust, rapid-response, and even real-time image […]

CM Seminar: Edward Wang, “Inventing a New Blood Pressure Monitor”

Silicon Valley Campus 3175 Bowers Avenue, Santa Clara

Presented by: Edward Wang Description: “What does it actually look like to invent something? In this talk, I trace the decade-long journey of turning a smartphone into a blood pressure monitor, from Seismo, which used smartphone accelerometers to measure pulse transit time, to BPClip, a dollar clip that brought calibration-free oscillometry to the fingertip, to VibroBP, which […]

Socio-Ecological Complexity in Coffee Agroecosystems

Sanya Cowal from the UCSC Environmental Studies Department In Person Location: ISB 221 Zoom Link One of the most pressing global challenges considers how to combine sustainable agricultural land use with biodiversity conservation. Agricultural systems have been dramatically transformed and intensified, leading to the simplification of agricultural landscapes through increased agrochemical use, landscape homogeneity, decreased […]

Statistics Seminar: Active Learning for Fair and Stable Allocations

Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Presenter: Riddhiman Bhattacharya, Postdoc, UCSC Description: We propose an active learning approach for dynamic fair resource allocation problems. In contrast to prior work that assumes full feedback from all agents on their allocations, we focus on scenarios where feedback is available only from a carefully select subset of agents at each epoch of the online […]

AM Seminar: Machine Learning in Molecular Simulations: From Free Energy to Vibrational Spectroscopy

Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz

Presenter: Marcos Calegari Andrade, Assistant Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry, UC Santa Cruz Description: In this talk, I will demonstrate how neural networks can represent the high-dimensional potential energy surfaces of many-body systems. By achieving the accuracy of first-principles quantum calculations at a fraction of the computational cost, these models enable atomistic simulations of condensed matter […]
