Presenter: Tjitse (TJ) van der Molen, Ph.D. (Postdoc, Sharf Lab, UC Santa Cruz and PhD Kosik Lab, UC Santa Barbara) Description: Neuronal firing sequences are thought to be the building blocks of information and broadcasting within the brain. Yet, it remains unclear when these sequences emerge during neurodevelopment. Here we demonstrate that structured firing sequences […]
Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar: Shanjun Li
Presenter 1: Anne Nakamoto, BME PhD Candidate, Corbett-Detig Lab, UC Santa Cruz Talk: Investigating deleterious mutation burden across populations and landscapes in the California Conservation Genomics Project Description: Biodiversity is being lost at an accelerated rate due in part to anthropogenic forces, posing a threat to the sustainability of Earth’s ecosystems as well as to human […]
Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar: Matt Pecenco
Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar: Giovanni Peri
Presenter: Dr. Saransh Sharma, Postdoctoral Scholar, MIT Description: Accurate in vivo localization of medical devices is central to applications ranging from ingestible pills in the GI tract to endovascular and […]
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to study abroad or participate in a domestic study away program? Join us for a virtual alumni panel where past participants of global […]
Presented by: Linda Hirsch Description: “Games and playful interventions have been researched to increase awareness of climate change impacts and educate about mitigation and adaptation measures. However, besides increased […]
Macroeconomics and International Finance Seminar: Yuriy Gorodnichenko
Presenter: Joey Sankman, Analog/Power Designer, Analog Devices Description: With the rising interest in edge computing, and the addition of AI/ML functionality, nanopower circuits are in great demand to reduce the quiescent power consumption of remote sensors. In this tutorial, fundamental building blocks for nanopower circuits will be covered, including startup-less low-voltage references, low-frequency clocks, and […]
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 […]
Macroeconomics and International Finance Seminar: Helen Popper
Presenter: Peyman Milanfar, Distinguished Scientist, Google Description: Denoising, the process of reducing random fluctuations in a signal to emphasize essential patterns, has been a fundamental problem of interest since the dawn of modern scientific inquiry. Recent denoising techniques, particularly in imaging, have achieved remarkable success, nearing theoretical limits by some measures. Yet, despite tens of […]
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 […]
Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar: Matt Weinberg
Presenter 1: Gali Bai, BME/PBSE Doctoral Candidate, Brooks Lab, UC Santa Cruz Title 1: Dissecting the contribution of chromatin accessibility to RNA transcription and processing with long-read sequencing Description: Although all cells in an organism share the same genomic sequence, transcriptional programs vary dramatically across cell types. This diversity is governed by epigenetic regulation involving […]
Economics Behavioral, Econometrics and Theory Seminar: Jacopo Magnani
Presenter: Andrew Myers, Cornell University Abstract: Modern civilization depends on complex, interconnected software systems that must safeguard trustworthy or private data. We have ever-growing mountains of code yet lack principled ways to build large systems that are secure. What is missing is a way to securely build these systems compositionally: module by module and layer […]
