ECE Seminar: Integrated Micro- and Nanosystems for Biosensing, Neural Therapy, and Nanotoxicity
Presenter: Dr. Ke Du, Associate Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Riverside Description: Miniaturized micro- and nanofluidic systems, integrated with biochemistry, microscopy, nanomaterials, and computer vision algorithms, provide powerful platforms for diverse biomedical applications, including molecular diagnostics, biophysics, and optogenetics. In this presentation, we introduce a pneumatically controlled nano-sieve device with nanolithography-defined […]
CM Seminar – “The ‘Social’ Side of Social Virtual Reality”
Presented by: Bree McEwan Description: One of the potential use cases of virtual reality is to create spaces where humans can interact with each other or virtual agents across distances. However, despite many of the technological challenges of social VR being solved, social VR does not see poised for widespread adoption. Multi-user social VR needs to […]
Li, X. (CSE) – Compute-Efficient Scaling of Fully-Open Visual Encoders
Vision encoders have demonstrated significant performance gains in visual generation and multimodal reasoning. These improvements are primarily attributed to the scaling of data, model capacity, and compute. However, this progress is becoming less accessible due to a lack of transparency in data curation and training recipes. In combination with the high compute requirements of foundation-scale […]
AM Seminar: Data Driven Modeling for Scientific Discovery and Digital Twins
Presenter: Dongbin Xiu, Professor, Ohio State University Description:We present a data-driven modeling framework for scientific discovery, termed Flow Map Learning (FML). This framework enables the construction of accurate predictive models for complex systems that are not amenable to traditional modeling approaches. By leveraging data and the expressiveness of deep neural networks (DNNs), FML facilitates long-term […]
February Slugs and Steins with Distinguished Professor Emeritus John Brown Childs
Kings of Infinite Space: Courageous Compassion Among Men in Soledad Prison “I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself king of infinite space…” –Hamlet When I reflect on the expansively creative, compassionate, and transformational minds and actions of the incarcerated men with whom I have worked as a volunteer teacher of what I […]

CSE Colloquium: Incentivized Alignment for Strategic Agents (Human and Otherwise)
Presenter: Grant Schoenebeck, University of Michigan Abstract: Advances in machine learning enable new forms of human-AI collaboration, but collaborative settings typically involve agents with divergent objectives and private information. This will become increasingly critical in the emerging world of agentic AI, where ML-powered agents act on behalf of individuals or institutions with conflicting goals. I use the […]
On the Margins of Empire: The Archaeology of Social Complexities in Lower Akinyele, Southwest Nigeria Ca. 18th- 20th centuries
Please join February’s Archaeology and Biological Anthropology Lunch Talk, “On the Margins of Empire: The Archaeology of Social Complexities in Lower Akinyele, Southwest Nigeria Ca. 18th- 20th centuries,” presented by Boluwaji Ajayi (Anthropology, UC Santa Cruz).
Centering the Experiences of Undocumented Transfer Students at HSIs: A Brown Bag Presentation by Valeria Alonso Blanco
The Huerta Center is proud to present a brown bag presentation by Graduate Student Research Awardee Valeria Alonso Blanco. She will present on a qualitative study that explores how undocumented Latinx transfer students navigate institutional support, belonging, and barriers at a four-year Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). Findings reveal gaps between institutional commitments and student […]

California Firefighter Cancer Research Study Panel
In the month of February, The intersections of Climate Change lecture series will host a panel discussion with Dr. Shehnaz Hussain and Fire Captain Jamie Gabriel. They will discuss ongoing research in cancer being the leading cause of death among California firefighters and why preventative interventions remain elusive. The Intersections of Climate Change Series is […]
“The Eternal Song” Film Screening
The Eternal Song is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and Indigenous cultures. Voices from across generations and traditions invite us to witness the enduring scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing pathways carried through ancestral wisdom. Entrusted with medicine stories, the film grapples with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, and the culture […]

BME Seminar: Population Genetics in an Era of Genomic Health
Presenter: Dr. Eimear Kenny, Founding Director of the Institute for Genomic Health and a Endowed Chair and Professor for Genomic Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Description: The overarching goal of my work is to advance genomics in medicine and research through diversity and innovation. The work of my group seeks […]
Sambamurthy, A. (AM) – Lazy Diffusion: Resolving Spectral Collapse in Generative Models for Turbulence
Diffusion-based generative models offer a principled framework for probabilistic forecasting, but we show they suffer from a fundamental spectral collapse when applied to turbulent flows. A Fourier-space analysis of the forward SDE reveals that the mode-wise signal-to-noise ratio decays monotonically in wavenumber for power-law spectra, rendering high-wavenumber content indistinguishable from noise. We reinterpret the noise […]
El Centro, SASA, LALS, MEChA presents: Understanding Venezuela: History, Power, and Multiple Perspectives
There is no single Venezuelan experience. Stories from Venezuela and the Venezuelan diaspora are shaped by history, politics, migration, and personal circumstances, and they often differ from one another in meaningful ways. This panel invites students and community members to learn about the historical and present-day realities shaping Venezuela, including U.S. foreign policy, political power, […]
