SUMMARY:Kramer\, A. (BMEB) - Scalable phylo-pangenomics
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic generated genomic data at unprecedented scale\, with tens of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes deposited in public repositories and thousands of new sequences added each day. This dissertation develops methods for analyzing genomic datasets at this scale\, unified by the idea that encoding genomes according to their evolutionary relationships can make otherwise intractable computations practical. First\, I evaluate online phylogenetic inference\, in which new genomes are continuously added to an existing tree\, and compare parsimony-based methods with maximum-likelihood approaches under pandemic time constraints. For densely sampled SARS-CoV-2 genomes\, online inference with UShER and matOptimize produces trees comparable to established maximum-likelihood methods while requiring orders of magnitude less time and memory. I then develop tools that make phylogenies containing millions of genomes useful for downstream analysis and visualization. ShUShER enables privacy-preserving phylogenetic placement within a web browser\, allowing laboratories to analyze sensitive sequences without transmitting them to an external server. Treenome Browser co-visualizes the genomic variation of millions of samples alongside their phylogenetic relationships by operating directly on a compressed mutation-annotated tree. Finally\, I describe Panmap\, which uses Pangenome Mutation-Annotated Networks (PanMANs) to place\, align\, and genotype sequencing reads and to estimate haplotype abundances against reference collections containing up to millions of genomes. Panmap produces indexes hundreds of times smaller than graph-based alternatives\, improves genome reconstruction over single-reference workflows at low coverage\, and supports applications ranging from pathogen genome assembly to ancient environmental DNA analysis. Together\, these results show that evolutionary history can serve not only as an object of inference but as a scalable computational infrastructure for phylogenomic and pangenomic analyses as genomic datasets continue to grow. \nEvent Host: Alexander Kramer\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics \nAdvisor: Russell Corbett-Detig \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/91364025182?pwd=Tq95CuaBqrePatRjopy6uJ9bbjsrIH.1 \nPasscode: 318268

Curated by Valéria Miranda\, the Sesnon’s Director\, ReView includes a wide variety of media and techniques highlighting the diversity of contemporary practice of alumni who graduated from 1972 to 2025. The exhibition title alludes to the portfolio critique process and suggests ideas of reflection and reevaluation—whether revisiting past work\, rethinking materials\, or tracing how a practice evolves over time. \nThis exhibition celebrates the creative path of artists who began their journeys at UC Santa Cruz. United by shared roots yet defined by distinct paths\, the participating alumni reflect the lasting influence of the Arts Division programs. Their works speak to the spirit of inquiry\, experimentation\, and perseverance that has long shaped the university’s artistic community. \nReView presents an opportunity for the campus and larger community to see the professional practice of these artists who continue to build on the creative foundation that they received at UCSC and to inspire our current students\, offering visualization of their own future artistic journeys after graduation. \nReView offers a unique opportunity for returning alumni to celebrate their creative expressions while reconnecting with classmates and the university community. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.  \nMore Information

SUMMARY:Saleem\, O. (ECE) - Coupled Evacuation Readiness and Post-Disaster Restoration for Vehicle-to-Grid Enabled Resilient Power–Transportation Networks
DESCRIPTION:The accelerating adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in California is reshaping both the transportation and electrical grids at the moment as climate-driven disasters are intensifying in frequency and severity. This dual transition exposes a critical structural gap: existing resilience research treats pre-disaster evacuation readiness and post-disaster grid restoration as separate problems\, even though both are governed by the same underlying resource\, i.e.\, electric vehicle batteries. On the other hand\, same underlying constraint\, a damaged\, congested transportation network. This dissertation develops an integrated framework that spans the full disaster lifecycle\, coupling evacuation-phase EV readiness assessment with restoration-phase vehicle-to-grid (V2G) coordination. \nThe work begins by establishing a quantitative ZEV Evacuation Readiness Score (ZEV Score) that assess community preparedness across exposure of the region to various natural disasters based on historical data\, vulnerabilities of the available infrastructure and the adaptive capacity of the infrastructure under stress. This work was afterwards extended to 44-indicator resilience framework across 6 domains i.e. community engagement\, charging infrastructure\, mobile and backup power\, transportation routing\, exposure\, equity\, and community engagement. Building on this foundation\, the dissertation introduces a novel restoration architecture that couples vehicle-routing-problem-based crew dispatch with game-theoretic V2G aggregation through a physics-consistent islanding-duration variable — the first framework to close the loop between road/grid repair scheduling and battery energy management. Validated on the IEEE RTS-79 network with Tesla Model 3 battery dynamics\, this coupling eliminates the “battery dead-zone” failure mode entirely\, reducing cumulative unsupported outage time from 54.3 to 0 hours under worst-case coordination scenarios\, while cutting total load shed by up to 18% beyond standalone repair coordination. \nTogether\, these contributions reframe EV fleets not merely as evacuation liabilities to be planned around\, but as a coordinated\, timeline-aware energy resource spanning both the flight from disaster and the recovery that follows. The dissertation’s proposed aims extend this integration towards stochastic damage scenarios\, heterogeneous mobile energy resources\, and a unified pre- to post-disaster co-optimization pipeline. Which offer both a technical bridge between restoration engineering and evacuation planning\, and a policy-relevant tool for California communities navigating a fully electrified\, climate-exposed future. \nEvent Host: Osman Saleem\, Ph.D. Student\, Electrical & Computer Engineering \nAdvisor: Keith Corzine & Leila Parsa  \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/96031345847?pwd=bjLMYhuyPyIMt7deiEKWRh35I7vjUW.1 \nPasscode: 544944

SUMMARY:Nag\, S. (BMEB) - Personalized Diploid Genome Graphs for Accurate Somatic Variant Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Many somatic variant-calling pipelines begin by aligning tumor and matched-normal sequencing reads to a single linear reference genome\, such as GRCh38. Because every individual differs substantially from this reference\, this approach can introduce reference bias\, causing reads to map incorrectly or not at all and potentially leading to missed somatic variants or germline variants being misclassified as somatic. I propose replacing the generic reference with a personalized diploid genome graph constructed from a donor-specific assembly (DSA)\, which represents both inherited haplotypes of the individual. I will develop this framework by (1) generating haplotype-resolved\, telomere-to-telomere DSAs for cancer reference cell lines\, (2) developing haplotype-aware graph alignment and adapting DeepSomatic to call variants against personalized diploid genomes\, and (3) applying this approach across tissues from SMaHT donors to improve somatic mosaicism detection and characterize shared and tissue-specific mutations. \nEvent Host: Sagorika Nag\, Ph.D. Student\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics  \nAdvisor: Benedict Paten \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/99844148597?pwd=amp5Nhmj2UeodTADUdaJwZsKtscRMG.1 \nPasscode: 685655
