For decades, El Centro has hosted the Chicane Latiné Year-End Ceremony—a beloved tradition that celebrates the achievements and cultural pride of Chicanx Latinx graduating students and their families. This bilingual ceremony features danzantes, live musical performances, and powerful keynote speakers, all coming together to honor the strength, resilience, and joy of our community. The Chicanx […]
Real-time monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks calls for statistical models that recover interpretable quantities such as the time-varying reproduction number from noisy count data, track posterior uncertainty, and run on time scales compatible with daily updates. Existing methods address these aims through separate model classes. Discretized Hawkes processes, Poisson autoregressions, and distributed lag models each […]

Connect virtually and take essential steps toward laying the foundation for your future career and potentially even land an interview! […]
AI-assisted clinical decisions in medicine, and particularly in dermatology, demand fine-grained understanding across diverse skin tones, body sites, and disease types, yet expert-annotated datasets are scarce, demographically imbalanced, and almost devoid of rare presentations. This dissertation develops four deep learning systems for this low-label, low-coverage regime. We introduce HealNet, which learns wound healing stages from […]
Modern AI systems are rapidly moving beyond static text generation toward capable models and agents that reason, use tools, store memories, and update persistent state, yet safety methods still often assume a fixed model whose behavior can be controlled by output-level refusal. This leaves critical gaps in understanding why aligned models fail under adversarial pressure, […]

Carol won the Nobel Prize in 2009 for discovering how the tips of our […]
Homer’s Odyssey is becoming a major motion picture. Whether you like movies or not, this is a great excuse to read this millennia-old story about a salty war hero who just wants to go home. Join us on June 24th and July 1 to discuss the Odyssey with UC Santa Cruz Ancient Studies faculty Anne Kreps and Martin Devecka […]
Presenter: Mario Stanke, Professor of Bioinformatics, University of Greifswald Description: This talk will explore recent machine learning approaches for eukaryotic genome annotation. Our supervised ab initio deep gene finder, Tiberius, correctly predicts more than four times as many human protein-coding gene structures as its father, Augustus, and in some clades, it approaches the accuracy of […]
Due to their increasing complexity, autonomous decision-making agents rely on increasingly advanced algorithms, from classical control theory to reinforcement learning (RL) and, more recently, large vision-language models. While these algorithms help automate the decision-making in complex systems, they bring newer attack vulnerabilities that an adversary can exploit. In this dissertation, we study the security of […]
