ECE 290 Seminar: Low-Power and Miniaturized Medical Electronics for in vivo Localization and Tracking
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 minimally invasive procedures. However, current clinical methods rely on endoscopy or repeated ionizing imaging (CT/X-ray), and are poorly suited for continuous or out-of-hospital use. In […]
Global Learning Alumni Panel: Study Abroad & Away Experiences
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 learning programs will share their unique experiences, personal stories, and advice for making the most of your journey. This is your chance to ask questions, […]
CM Seminar: “Playful Design to Empower Climate Adaptation – What are we missing for real-life impact?”
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 awareness, what real-life impact and adapted behaviors can we actually observe from such interventions? In this talk, I will reflect on the differences between short-term […]
AM Seminar: Dynamo Action Inside the Giant Planets
Presenter: Dr. Paula Wulff, UCLA Description: Our solar system hosts six unique planetary magnetic fields. Intrinsic magnetic fields are generated deep inside planets by dynamo action. This process requires regions of electrically conducting material and energy sources to maintain the dynamo. Thus, we can learn about the deep interiors of planets, including their structures and […]
Statistics Seminar: Beyond the Average Treatment Effect: Causal Mediation Methods for Understanding Intervention Mechanisms
Presenter: Hanna Kim, Assistant Professor, Psychology Department, UCSC Description: Understanding how an intervention works is a central question in behavioral and social research, following the demonstration of its overall effect. Traditional mediation analysis techniques often assume a homogeneous mechanism of effects, overlooking both validity concerns and subgroup variation in causal pathways. In this talk, I […]

Corporations at Climate Crossroads: Book Talk with Lily Hsueh
With climate risks growing, climate action facing political headwinds in many countries, and international cooperation increasingly challenged, Lily Hsueh’s Corporations at Climate Crossroads illuminates how and under what conditions the world’s largest corporations have taken proactive action on climate change during the years leading up to and after the Paris Agreement. Drawing on insights from […]

November 19, 2025CSE Colloquium – Flux: Refinement Types for Verified Rust Systems
CSE Colloquium – Flux: Refinement Types for Verified Rust Systems
Presenter: Ranjit Jhala, UCSD Abstract: Rust has risen as a language of choice for new systems code — from OS kernels to hypervisors, firmware and run-times — as it is memory safe and provides the sort of abstractions needed for efficient low-level systems implementation. We present Flux, a refinement type checker for Rust that shows how […]

Jorquera, Z. (CSE) – Quantum Entanglement Bounds and the Approximation Algorithms That Use Them
One of the central challenges in quantum computing is finding or approximating the ground-state energy of a local Hamiltonian, a quantum analogue of classical constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Among these, the Quantum Max-Cut problem serves as a canonical example, paralleling the classical Max-Cut problem. Despite its foundational importance in both theoretical computer science and condensed […]
Ellen Bass: Morton Marcus Poetry Reading
Join us for the 15th annual Morton Marcus Poetry Reading, featuring honored guest Ellen Bass. Poet Gary Young will host the program, and the evening will include an announcement of the winner of the Morton Marcus Poetry Contest (recipient receives a $1,000 prize). Ellen Bass’s most recent collection, Indigo, was published by Copper Canyon Press in […]

Ramollari, H. (ECE) – An Optofluidic Spectrometer and Applications in Biosensing
Miniaturized spectrometers have the potential to replace bulky and expensive benchtop models. We have previously demonstrated a multimode interference (MMI) waveguide-based spectrometer that achieves high performance while minimizing its footprint. In this talk, the integration of the MMI spectrometer into an optofluidic device is proposed. This integration opens up applications such as the detection of […]

Torres, S. (ECE) – An Integrated Platform for Real-time Monitoring and Support of 3D Tissue Growth
Organoids are three-dimensional tissue cultures that model real organs and serve as valuable tools for studying development, disease, and treatment response. Traditional methods, which rely on manual handling and incubators, limit consistency and real-time monitoring. To address these issues, we developed a modular microfluidic platform that integrates automated feeding, live fluorescence imaging, and environmental control […]
