Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a machine learning paradigm that trains a decision maker, or policy, by learning from interaction with an environment. The power of RL lies in its ability […]
Transient execution attacks are serious security threats in modern-day processors. Out-of-order execution compels the processor to access data that should not be otherwise perceived. Leakage of that secret information creates […]
The growing integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into real-world applications has heightened concerns about their trustworthiness, as models may reveal private information, reproduce copyrighted content, propagate biases, or generate […]

Take a break from the stress of studying for finals and enjoy boba and a short massage on the head and neck. It’s free for UCSC students and will be […]
While Large Language Models exhibit remarkable capabilities, their reliance on the standard Transformer architecture imposes prohibitive computational costs and quadratic memory complexity. To bridge the gap between biological efficiency and high-performance AI, we have established foundational work in linearizing attention and maximizing hardware utilization through architectures such as RWKV and MatMul-Free networks. Addressing the remaining […]
Join us for a discussion on Financial Conflicts of Interest (FCOI) and Conflicts of Commitment (COC) — what they are, why they matter, and how we manage them at UC Santa Cruz. This session will provide an overview of institutional processes for disclosing and reviewing potential conflicts, clarify the key differences between FCOI and COC, […]
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides information-theoretic security for cryptographic key establishment, but existing protocols exhibit limited noise tolerance, restricting their applicability in practical quantum channels with finite resources. This work introduces a QKD protocol based on entanglement swapping that significantly enhances error tolerance and key generation rates. The protocol encodes six-bit classical symbols into six-qubit […]
The Everett Program Presents: Envisioning Digital Justice Together | 7th Annual Project Showcase
This showcase aims to highlight the incredible work of our students, who have completed a year-long practicum conceptualizing and using digital technology to work with nonprofit organizations on social justice issues from climate justice to the racist impacts of the carceral state.
This year, Showcase is an event in which the audience can not only come together to support these wonderful students and their work, but to envision a range of digital futures together.
All are welcome! RSVP with the QR Code found on the poster 🙂
Data analysts are in high demand Even as hiring slows in certain tech sectors, organizations across industries are actively seeking professionals with data expertise. The ability to extract insights from […]
Translation is a central and highly regulated step of gene expression, yet there are few quantitative, high-throughput tools to study translation. Existing methods such as sucrose gradients provide only bulk […]
Transcriptomic profiling has been transformative in pediatric oncology. Pediatric cancers arise from disrupted developmental programs. Their impaired transcriptional states reflect cell lineage infidelity, aberrant differentiation, and immune-microenvironment interactions distinct from those of adult tumors(Gröbner et al., 2018; X. Ma et al., 2018). Within the osteosarcoma (OS) landscape, despite being the most common bone tumor of […]
Today, both individual and collective memories are increasingly mediated by digital platforms. Both are fundamentally enmeshed in platform ecosystems that orient around commercial imperatives very much at odds with community cohesion. The digital archive where our mediated memories are stored does not merely store information but actively inscribes it, often privileging narratives aligned with commercial […]
Step into leadership in early childhood education. The need for skilled supervisors and administrators in early learning programs continues to grow. Childcare centers, preschools, and early education organizations all rely […]
Science In the Neighborhood A public lecture series hosted quarterly by the UC Santa Cruz Science Division The End Game: Discovering how telomeres cause disease Presentation by Carol Greider, Professor, UC Santa […]
Unlock the secrets of delicious, healthy, and home-crafted food at our Home Fermentation Workshop! This hands-on class dives deep into the art and science of fermentation, from understanding how beneficial […]
The program offers Merrill students an invaluable professional opportunity: the chance to work closely with a faculty member and get the kind of experience and advice that can prepare students for graduate or professional school or a career. Students who participate in the program will be employed as Research Assistants.
This program enables Merrill College Faculty Fellows to benefit from paid research assistance from an undergraduate affiliate of Merrill College.
The application is submitted by the faculty member rather than the student.
