Explore how to lead with AI—whether you want to build it or apply it. In this information session, discover two dynamic pathways: AI Business Practices, for professionals seeking practical AI tools […]
First Saturday Tours are a wonderful way to introduce yourself to the Arboretum or to deepen your knowledge of the Arboretum’s plant collections. Each tour is a little different depending on the time of year, the interests of the tour guide, and the people who join in. For example, you might learn about the birds […]
Spatially dependent data are common in environmental and climate studies, where Gaussian process models are used for prediction and uncertainty quantification. Learning their covariance structure involves both statistical and computational challenges. Likelihood-based inference may be sensitive to covariance misspecification, while repeated evaluation of prediction-oriented criteria can be computationally demanding. To study these issues, we develop […]
Volunteer Information Sessions at the Arboretum Do you love gardens and gardening? The UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden has a wonderful community of staff, students, and volunteers, ready to welcome you. Opportunities include staffing our gift shop & retail nursery and working to care for our gardens and greenhouses. To learn more, join us at […]
Understanding neuronal function requires measurements that capture both the rapid dynamics and spatial organization of neural activity. Conventional neural interfaces often prioritize either high temporal resolution through electrophysiological recording or […]
Multivariate dependent discrete data routinely arise in microbiome studies. Analyzing these data presents interesting statistical challenges, such as high dimensionality, excess zeros, large heterogeneity across samples, and temporal dependence in […]
Coherent wireless reception depends on accurate channel state information (CSI), yet acquiring CSI through pilot transmission consumes time–frequency resources that could otherwise carry data. This tradeoff becomes more pronounced in […]
There are many things that can derail our ability to advance in our careers while maintaining long-term sustainability and health. Join us as we discuss the 4 key factors that […]
Join the Research Financial Services and Extramural Funds Accounting leadership for a conversation about good internal controls and effective financial oversight of sponsored projects accounts. During this session, we will discuss the tools and resources that are available to ensure that we are good stewards of the funds entrusted to us. We will review when […]
Changes to the “duration of status” for F and J visa holders are now in effect. Immigration rules are complex, and Global Engagement wants to make sure you have accurate […]
Artificial intelligence and machine learning models depend on large and diverse datasets to learn patterns across different situations and generalize to cases they have not seen before. In cybersecurity, suitable data is difficult to find for two main reasons: first, sensitive information limits what organizations can share; second, public datasets often lack the coverage or […]
Take a free, guided tour of the 30-acre organic UCSC Farm. Visitors can enjoy touring the organically managed greenhouses, hand-worked garden beds, orchards, row crop fields, and children’s garden, while learning about the history of the site and the basic concepts of organic farming and gardening. Perched on a meadow near the campus entrance, the […]
Check out Santa Cruz Maker Studios at the Seymour Center. Hands-on Activities include: Build and test a seawall Make a wooden sea creature Ocean-themed 3D kits Create felt ocean ornamentsActivities […]
Looking for fun, weekend family activities? Join us on select Saturdays through the end of the year for hands-on, ocean-themed maker projects for kids! Featured Workshops: Build and Test a […]
Get ready to set sail on a storybook adventure! 📚 ✨ It’s the ultimate weekend treat to spark big imaginations, foster a love for nature, and nurture the next generation […]
The separation of memory and processing in conventional computer architectures leads to significant energy consumption associated with data transfer, known as the von Neumann bottleneck. Two-dimensional (2D) materials provide a promising platform for developing nanoscale memory devices for in-memory and neuromorphic computing because of their atomic-scale thickness, lack of dangling bonds, and ability to form […]
Slime is on Their Side: Celebrating 40 (Official) Years of the UCSC Banana Slug Mascot While rumors and stories abound about the sea lion vs. banana slug controversy of the […]
Join the Ecological Farming Association (EcoFarm) at the Hay Barn and UCSC Farm for a focused conversation on organic seeds — from seed economics and profitability to hands-on care and stewardship practices. We’ll explore varietal selection, storage, germination, and seed saving, along with a practical discussion on the role and legitimacy of community seed libraries […]
Aluminum and silver are excellent metal-bases for astronomical telescopes designed for broadband spectral measurements. In particular silver excels in the violet to infrared spectral range range with over 95% reflectance. In turn aluminum excels deep ultra-violet to infrared with over 90% reflectance across the bulk of its spectral range. In astronomical telescope optics, each percent […]
Before fall quarter gets underway, take some time to pause, recharge, and focus on your well-being. Join fellow students Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 2–5 p.m. at the Namaste Lounge at College Nine for an afternoon of restorative activities. Stop by and experience: Massage: A guided energy-healing session to help restore balance within the mind, body, and […]
