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 […]

Building Soil with Microbes: Compost as Biological Infrastructure
Keisha Ernst from the Catalyst Bio-Amendments and Compost Academy In Person Location: ISB 221 Zoom Link In this talk, Keisha will explore how biologically focused compost production differs from conventional composting systems designed primarily for waste diversion. She will discuss how microbial communities influence soil structure, nutrient cycling, plant resilience, and water dynamics—and how managing […]
Waste and Cataclysm, Waste as Catalyst: The Politics of Disposability in New Orleans
Christopher Lang from the UCSC Environmental Studies Department In Person Location: ISB 221 Zoom Link Lang explores the politics of disposability in New Orleans, Louisiana, revealing how pollution intersects with Black community health, waste workers’ lives and livelihoods, and the city’s overall resilience in the face of increasing flood risk. Using a combination of methods […]
AM Seminar: Variational Inference and Density Estimation with Non-Negative Tensor Train
Presenter: Dr. Xun Tang, Stanford University Description: This talk covers an efficient numerical approach for compressing a high-dimensional discrete distribution function into a non-negative tensor train (NTT) format. The two settings we consider are variational inference and density estimation, whereby one has access to either the unnormalized analytic formula of the distribution or the samples […]
Statistics Seminar: Hierarchical Clustering with Confidence
Presenter: Snigdha Panigrahi, Associate Professor, Department of Statistics, University of Michigan Description:Agglomerative hierarchical clustering is one of the most widely used approaches for exploring how observations in a dataset relate to each other. However, its greedy nature makes it highly sensitive to small perturbations in the data, often producing different clustering results and making it […]

April 22, 2026CSE Colloquium – Robust Machine Learning for Biomedical Data: Efficiency, Reliability, and Generalizability
CSE Colloquium – Robust Machine Learning for Biomedical Data: Efficiency, Reliability, and Generalizability
Presenter Chenyu You, Stony Brook University Abstract In the rapidly growing area of machine learning, there is profound promise in crafting intelligent, data-driven methods for diverse real-world applications. Yet, in safety-critical domains like healthcare, some fundamental challenges remain: (1) The insufficiency of raw biomedical data emphasizes the need for data-efficient and robust learning approaches. (2) […]

BME 280B Seminar: Speaker Dr. Aaron Newman – Molecular and spatial determinants of single-cell developmental states in cancer
Presenter: Dr. Newman, Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science, Stanford University Description: Determining the factors that shape cell potency—the ability of a cell to differentiate into other cell types—is essential for understanding tissue biology in health and disease, including cancer. In previous work, we found that single-cell transcriptional diversity decreases across […]
