2026 Right Livelihood International Conference
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 […]

ECE 290 Seminar: Speaker Dr. Josh Star-Lack – Photon Counting Detectors for X-Ray Computed Tomography
Presenter: Dr. Josh Star-Lack, Principal Scientist and Research Manager, Varex Imaging Inc Description: X-ray computed tomography (CT) provides rapid, detailed 3D imaging of internal organs, bones, and vasculature. By enabling the swift diagnosis of cancer, cardiac disease, neurological disorders, and other pathologies, CT has revolutionized medicine—reducing the need for invasive exploratory surgeries and facilitating precise […]
BME 80G Seminar: Speaker Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji – How Close Are We to Consciousness in a Dish?
Presenter: Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji, Associate Research Scientist, Genomics Institute UCSC Description: We can now grow small pieces of human brain tissue in the lab, known as brain organoids. These models show many features of early brain development, including different types of neurons and coordinated electrical activity. This progress raises a fascinating question: how close are […]
Statistics Seminar: Calibration Weighting-Style Diagnostics for Nonlinear Bayesian Hierarchical Models
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Giordano, UC Berkeley Statistics Description: Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification (MrP) has become a workhorse method for estimating population quantities using non-probability surveys, and is the primary alternative to traditional survey calibration weights, e.g.~ as computed by raking. For simple linear regression models, MrP methods admit “equivalent weights”, allowing for direct comparisons between […]
AM Seminar: Genetically Admixed Groups as a Laboratory for Mathematical Modeling and Discovery
Presenter: Dr. Aw, Department of Genetics, University of Pennsylvania Description: Admixed groups consist of individuals descended from two or more historically separated ancestral populations, and they are underrepresented in biomedical studies. Admixed individuals are unique in that they carry mosaics of ancestral segments within their genome, so their genetic information is typically summarized as a […]

April 15, 2026CSE Colloquium – Algorithmic Problems in Discrete Choice by Ravi Kumar
FINS: Fisheries Insights Narratives and Stories seminar series featuring Dr. George Leonard
Please join us for the second talk in the FINS: Fisheries Insights Narratives and Stories seminar series featuring Adjunct Professor Dr. George Leonard. His talk, “Lessons learned from my time at the science-policy interface” will discuss his extensive experience at the ocean science-policy interface at major nonprofits (Monterey Bay Aquarium and Ocean Conservancy). He initiated, developed, and led a host of conservation programs during his time at Ocean Conservancy including offshore aquaculture, plastics pollution, ocean acidification, climate change, mesopelagic fisheries, and deep-sea mining. During his early career at Monterey Bay Aquarium, he developed the scientific foundation for the nascent sustainable seafood movement. Preceding the talk please join us for a networking coffee hour (snacks provided) and a student-only lunch after the talk.
CSE Colloquium – Algorithmic Problems in Discrete Choice by Ravi Kumar
Presenter: Ravi Kumar, Google Abstract: In discrete choice, a user selects one option from a finite set of available alternatives, a process that is crucial for recommendation systems applications in e-commerce, social media, search engines, etc. A popular way to model discrete choice is through Random Utility Models (RUMs). RUMs assume that users assign values to […]
