ECE Seminar: Advanced Packaging as the Engine of the AI Systems Era
Presenter: Tolga Acikalin, System and Package Architect, Lumilens Description: The rapid rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning—most notably recent breakthroughs in large language models—is reshaping the trajectory of the semiconductor industry and ushering in a new era of system innovation. As performance scaling at the device level slows, heterogeneous integration (HI) has emerged as […]
Statistics Seminar: Mathematical Foundations for Machine Learning from a Nonlinear Time Series Perspective
Presenter: Jiaqi Li, William H. Kruskal Instructor, University of Chicago Description:Modern machine learning (ML) algorithms achieve remarkable empirical success, yet providing rigorous statistical guarantees remains a major challenge, particularly in distributional theory and online inference methods. In this talk, we will introduce a novel framework to provide mathematical foundations for ML by bringing powerful tools […]
AM Seminar: Are Graph Learning Methods Actually Learning?
Presenter: Seshadhri Comandur, Professor of Computer Science, UCSC Description: There has been a lot of literature on graph machine learning over the past few years, and a bewildering array of new methods. This talk is based on a series of results making a provocative argument. Maybe many graph machine learning methods are not really that […]

Statistics Seminar: Statistical Inference for Multi-Modality Data in the AI Era
Presenter: Qi Xu, Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Statistics & Data Science, Carnegie Mellon University Description: Multi-modality data are increasingly common across science medicine and technology, such as imaging, text, sensors, and genomics. These modalities are often high dimensional or unstructured and naturally exhibit blockwise (nonmonotone) missingness where different samples observe different subsets of modalities. Such […]
Kraw Lecture: Learning Earth’s Biodiversity via Space and eDNA
The California DNA Program (CALeDNA), launched from the University of California in 2017, has been tackling the massive disconnection in scales of measuring nature from satellite-based sensing down to DNA in a gram of soil or water. Through dozens of collaborative projects around the world, CALeDNA lab scientists have harmonized different ways of observing biodiversity […]
Regulatory Affairs Info Session
Lead regulatory strategy in the evolving medical device industry. As global regulations become increasingly complex, professionals who can navigate FDA, EU, and international requirements are in high demand. Learn how to design and execute regulatory strategies, manage premarket submissions using tools like the FDA’s eSTAR, leverage AI-driven platforms for regulatory intelligence, and ensure compliance across […]

Carl Deppe Memorial Lecture with Dr. Kara Cooney
The UCSC Ancient Studies Program presents the Carl Deppe Memorial Lecture, taking place February 5th at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn (reception to follow). Kara Cooney will present her lecture “When Women Ruled the World”. Doors open at 5:30pm, program begins at 5:45pm. Kara Cooney is a professor of ancient Egyptian art and architecture and […]
Climate Justice and the Moss Landing Battery Fire Panel
As part of the Intersections of Climate Change Lecture series there will be a panel discussion including marine geologist Ivano Aiello and environmental studies scholars J. Mijin Cha and Dustin Mulvaney focused on the climate justice issues raised by the Moss Landing Battery Storage System fire. The Intersections of Climate Change Series is organized with […]
Science in the Neighborhood: Innovations for building coastal resilience locally, nationally, and globally
Coastal risks are growing from climate change, development, and habitat loss. The Center for Coastal Climate Resilience assesses coastal risks, promotes nature-based adaptations, and identifies innovative solutions to reduce risks to people, property, and the environment. Dr. Beck will describe recent successes in bridging ecology, engineering, and economics to develop solutions at the intersection of science, policy, and finance. This is part of the Science in the Neighborhood lecture series.

Johnstone, J. (AM) – The Effects of Asymmetry on Overshooting and Magnetic Pumping from Compressible Convection Zones
We present a comprehensive numerical investigation examining how vertical asymmetry in compressible convection affects overshooting and the transport of large-scale magnetic fields from convective to stably stratified regions. Using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we systematically vary the superadiabaticity and stratification of a convective layer to control the vertical asymmetry of the flow and analyze its […]
GDAC Portfolio Workshop
Part of the GDA Conference on campus – come and learn best practices for creating a portfolio to use in the gaming industry!
Yang, J. (CSE) – Towards Controllable and Compositional Generative Vision
Diffusion-based text-to-image models can generate impressive images, but they largely treat an image as a single, flat output, which makes precise editing of individual elements difficult. This proposal studies layered generative representations that align with professional editing workflows, enabling users to manipulate foreground objects while preserving the rest of the scene. A central focus is […]

First Saturday Tour at the Arboretum
First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide, and the people who join in. For example, you might learn about the birds […]
