SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Learning to Image: Computational Microscopy for Dynamic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Laura Waller\, UC Berkeley \nAbstract: \nComputational imaging jointly designs hardware and algorithms to push beyond the classical limits of imaging\, enabling measurement of new quantities (e.g. 3D\, phase\, and super-resolution) with simple\, inexpensive hardware. These approaches have already transformed consumer photography; our goal is to achieve a similar transformation in scientific microscopy. \nIn this talk\, I will show how end-to-end learning is reshaping the design of imaging systems\, from programmable illumination with LED arrays to compact\, lensless cameras built from Scotch tape. By combining physical models with neural networks\, we can jointly learn how to capture data\, reconstruct images\, and self-calibrate systems that would otherwise be too complex to model. However\, many computational methods rely on multiple measurements\, limiting their use for live\, dynamic samples. I will introduce new space-time algorithms based on implicit neural representations (INRs) that jointly recover structure and motion\, correct artifacts\, and enable high-resolution imaging in regimes where traditional approaches fail. \nBio: \nLaura Waller is the Charles A. Desoer Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley. She received B.S.\, M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2004\, 2005 and 2010. After that\, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer of Physics at Princeton University from 2010-2012. She is a Packard Fellow for Science & Engineering\, Moore Foundation Data-driven Investigator\, OSA Fellow\, and Chan-Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator. She has received the Carol D. Soc Distinguished Graduate Mentoring Award\, OSA Adolph Lomb Medal\, the SPIE Early Career Award and the Max Planck-Humboldt Medal. \nHosted by: Professor Alvaro Cardenas \nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180 (Refreshments such as fruit\, pastries\, coffee\, and tea will be provided.) \nZoom Option: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3

SUMMARY:Your Next Degree: Graduate School
DESCRIPTION:Careers and academic interests often evolve over time\, and many people choose to pursue graduate education after gaining experience in the workforce or further exploring their fields. Whether you are considering a master’s or PhD\, in an academic or professional program\, graduate school can be a powerful step toward advancing your goals\, shifting career paths\, or deepening your expertise. \nThis UCLA Alumni webinar will explore what it takes to apply to graduate school across a range of disciplines. The application process can differ significantly from other advanced degrees and depends on your individual goals and motivations. You will gain an overview of the process and timeline\, hear from a representative from the UCLA Division of Graduate Education\, and learn how to evaluate programs such as those offered through the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. A UCLA Career Center representative will also share insights on how graduate education can help unlock future career opportunities. \nWhether you are actively preparing an application or just beginning to consider graduate school\, this session will help clarify the process and available pathways. \nThis program\, hosted by UCLA\, is open to UC alumni from all 10 campuses. \nWebsite for additional information \nRegistration link  \n

SUMMARY:“So\, There We Were...” – Celebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate another year of profound discoveries\, uplifting unheard voices\, and opening up the world for the next generation of students\, the Academic Senate is planning a year-end celebratory event on Wednesday\, May 27\, 5-7:30 pm (week 9)\, at the Haybarn. But lest you think this is yet one more end-of-year academic event with mind-numbing presentations and hard-to-read powerpoint slides\, think again. This Scholarly Event is an excuse for us to do what we never get to do: come together to share the real stories behind our work and\, most of all\, HAVE FUN! In this spirit we are launching a celebratory event to feature the true but unknown\, the odd\, the awkward\, and just plain unbelievable stories behind our research: \n“So\, There We Were…”\nCelebrating the Untold Stories Behind the Discoveries \n \nThese might be the adventures\, misadventures\, revelations\, miscues\, or simply the “you would never believe it all worked out” moments that we have all experienced but rarely talk about (at least not in public). These are the stories that our friends\, neighbors\, and students want to hear\, but never would make it into scholarly publications or presentations. These are the stories we swap with our colleagues over drinks. While this event is intended primarily for faculty\, the campus community and community members will be welcome to attend (in other words\, feel free to bring your kids\, your partner\, your neighbors). \n \nWe are therefore soliciting applications (or nominations if you know someone—including yourself—who really needs to share that story) to regale your colleagues with details about “that time that…(fill in the blank)\,” while showing how those hidden moments shaped what finally came out of that research. This is meant to be a lighthearted and fun event\, so while having the audience learn something about what you do and why it is SO COOL is very good\, our focus will remain on humor\, fun\, and engaging tales. As the Ig Nobel Awards put it: “First make them laugh…then make them think!” \nPresenters will give a ~10 min TED style talk. Talks must begin with the phrase “So\, there we were” (or “So\, there I was” ) and they should feature the adventurous\, the bizarre\, and ideally the humorous in your research. Absolutely no tedious powerpoints\, jargon\, or literature background review will be allowed.  \nA reception will follow. Or it may precede\, or even take place during\, the event. But rest assured\, we will be celebrating in style. \n \nNB: There may well be prizes. But we have not gotten quite that far yet.
