Presenter: Akira Horiguchi, Visiting Assistant Professor, University of California, Davis Description: Many modern statistical applications involve a two-level sampling scheme that first samples subjects from a population and then samples observations on each subject. These schemes often are designed to learn both the population-level functional structures shared by the subjects and the functional characteristics specific […]

Presenter: Ms. Catherine Blume, University of Colorado-Boulder Description: Recent observations of Rossby waves and other inertial oscillations in the Sun’s convection zone have kindled the hope that such waves might be used as a seismic probe of the Sun’s interior. Here, we present a 3D numerical simulation in spherical geometry that models the Sun’s convection […]

Breakthroughs that transform entire industries often begin quietly in academic labs, years before they make headlines. On October 28, the Genomics Rooftop Mixer will bring together leaders in genomics and biotechnology who are shaping the future of health, science, and technology. Hosted by Santa Cruz Works in collaboration with the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, this event offers a rare chance to witness the cutting-edge of discovery in one of the fastest-moving fields in the world.
