ECE 290 Seminar: High-Frequency Circuits for Next-Generation Communication: From Beyond-5G mm-Wave MIMO to Co-Packaged Optics
Presenter: Susnata Mondal, Research Scientist, Intel Description: Rapid growth in wireless connectivity, cloud computing, and AI infrastructure is driving an urgent need for communication systems that can deliver higher data rates with improved energy efficiency. Meeting these demands requires advances in high-frequency circuit design across both wireless and wireline domains, spanning millimeter-wave radios to optical […]
AM Seminar: Multiscale Modeling of Cellular Membranes and Oncogenic Proteins
Presenter: Liam Stanton, Professor, San Jose State University Description: In this talk, I will present a multiscale model for cellular membranes, which is trained on molecular dynamics simulations. The model is constructed within the formalism of dynamic density functional theory and can be extended to include features such as the presence of proteins and membrane […]
Statistics Seminar: Rotated Mean-Field Variational Inference and Iterative Gaussianization
Presenter: Sifan Liu, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistical Science, Duke University Description:Mean-field variational inference (MFVI) approximates a target distribution with a product distribution in the standard coordinate system, offering a scalable approach to Bayesian inference but often severely underestimating uncertainty due to neglected dependence. We show that MFVI can be greatly improved when performed along […]

Liu, C. (CSE) – Enabling LLM Unlearning at Inference Time by Decomposing Detection and Intervention
Machine unlearning addresses the “right to be forgotten” under GDPR and enables privacy, copyright, and safety compliance in large language models. Training-based unlearning can remove targeted behavior on benchmarks, but it scales poorly, can degrade utility, and can fail under adversarial prompting that recovers supposedly forgotten content. This prospectus proposes inference-time behavioral unlearning: rather than […]
CSE Colloquium: Agile and evolvable software construction in the era of rapidly evolving hardware accelerator designs
Presenter Charith Mendis, Siebel School of Computing and Data Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Abstract Modern AI workloads have become exceedingly abundant and important in the current computing landscape. As a result, there have been numerous software and hardware innovations aimed at accelerating these workloads. However, we observe a subtle disconnect between the software […]

BME 280B Seminar: The evolution of structural variation across vertebrate genomes
Presenter: Peter Sudmant, Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley Description: Structural variants (SVs) contribute substantially to genetic variation and play vital roles in adaptation and disease. However, SVs are poorly captured by short read sequencing and thus are understudied, particularly in non-model organisms. Here, taking advantage of recently generated haplotype-resolved genome assemblies […]
Venezuela: Contradictions of Regime Change Without a Change of Regime, A Discussion with Dr. Gabriel Hetland
*UPDATE!* New date! Now on Thursday, February 26th, 12- 1:30pm at the Stevenson Event Center. Following the January 3 US attack and kidnapping of its president, Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela has been transformed into something approaching a protectorate of the US. In this bizarre regime change without a change of regime, Maduro’s former vice president, Delcy […]

Distinguished Teaching Award Lecture — Teaching Week 2026
Join us as Distinguished Teaching Award recipient Laurie Palmer, Professor of Art, shares her insights on teaching. This lecture is one of the key events featured in Teaching Week 2026.
Starting in 2018-2019, the Distinguished Teaching Award recognizes outstanding teaching on our campus. This annual award is an opportunity to acknowledge the pedagogical contributions of our colleagues that include—but also go beyond—any one particular course. It seeks to recognize an instructor that has made significant contributions to educational equity within and beyond UC Santa Cruz.
How promotions actually happen (and why hard work alone isn’t enough)
Most professionals are told a simple formula: work hard, deliver results, and your career will naturally advance. Yet many find that after years of strong performance, progress slows—responsibilities grow without recognition, and promotions go elsewhere. The issue is rarely capability, but a misunderstanding of how advancement really works. Each career stage has different expectations: the […]
Will Work for Food
Join us for a conversation on labor, food, and justice with Will Work for Food co-author Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern and regional food production and service workers Veronica Rodriguez (Dole, Soledad), and X (Verve, Santa Cruz). Together, they will explore the often-overlooked role of labor in building a more just food system. Free and open to the public. Translation provided.
