    Statistics Seminar: Spatially Varying Gene Regulatory Networks via Bayesian Nonparametric Covariate-Dependent Directed Cyclic Graphical Models

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Trisha Dawn, UC Santa Cruz Description: Spatial transcriptomics technologies enable measurement of gene expression with spatial context, providing opportunities to understand how gene regulatory networks (GRNs) vary across tissue regions. Studying spatial variation in GRNs is crucial for uncovering mechanisms governing heterogeneous cellular functions and gives rise to a challenging statistical problem: graph learning […]

    ECE 290 Seminar: “Photon Counting Detectors for X-Ray Imaging”

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presented by: Jin Zhang, Chief Engineer @ iRay Group Description: “Photon-counting detectors measure individual X-ray interactions, enabling fine spatial sampling and energy-resolved imaging. This seminar connects semiconductor signal formation and readout electronics to imaging benefits and practical limitations in medical and industrial applications. It examines charge sharing, pulse pileup, calibration drift, and material decomposition, then surveys clinical […]

    Statistics Seminar: Advancing Science on the Sea and Stars with Modern Statistical Techniques

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: J. Xavier Prochaska, Professor, UC Santa Cruz Description: I will present two current and challenging research problems from the domains of astrophysics and oceanography which are leveraging standard Bayesian methods. After describing the datasets, scientific goals, and currently methodology, I will welcome a discussion on ways to improve, advance, and/or replace the current approaches. […]

    AM Seminar: Analysis of Flagellar Gait Changes Across Fluid Viscosities

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    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 […]

  • Antonio Roman Alcala - North Stars of Emancipation

    North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems

    Hay Barn 94 Ranch View Road, Santa Cruz, CA, United States

    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 […]

    AM Seminar: Sliced Optimal Transport: From Acceleration to Bayesian Modeling

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Enter the speaker’s name, title, and institution at the top of the event Description: Optimal transport (OT) provides a principled way to match, compare, and interpolate distributions, but its computational cost limits its use at realistic scales. I will present our recent work on reducing that cost and on using OT for statistical modeling […]
