Presenter: Akira Horiguchi, Visiting Assistant Professor, University of California, Davis Description: Many modern statistical applications involve a two-level sampling scheme that first samples subjects from a population and then samples observations on each subject. These schemes often are designed to learn both the population-level functional structures shared by the subjects and the functional characteristics specific […]
Presenter: Ms. Catherine Blume, University of Colorado-Boulder Description: Recent observations of Rossby waves and other inertial oscillations in the Sun’s convection zone have kindled the hope that such waves might be used as a seismic probe of the Sun’s interior. Here, we present a 3D numerical simulation in spherical geometry that models the Sun’s convection […]

Accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is critical for coherent detection, equalization, and adaptive resource allocation in modern wireless systems. Traditional estimators rely on stationary statistical models, and many learning-based methods assume training and deployment conditions are matched. In practice, these assumptions break down under user mobility and environmental dynamics, leading to degraded performance. This proposal […]

Zoom Forum
We invite all faculty to provide comments and questions regarding the Academic Senate Task Force on UC Adaptation to Disruptions (UCAD) Charge, and UCAD Interim Report (July, 2025).
UCAD’s purpose was to develop response strategies that aim to uphold the teaching and education, research and discovery, and public service mission areas of the University of California in the context of disruptive federal executive orders, uncertain federal and state partnerships, and evolving shifts in the higher education landscape. The report makes interim recommendations related to four key categories:
Research Funding Assistance
Academic Personnel Evaluations During Disruptions
Program Resizing and Restructuring
Need for Flexibility in Course Offerings and Modalities
