Castro, S. (CSE) – Agentic AI for Security: Adversarial Foundations for Autonomous Cyber Operations
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventAutonomous Cyber Operations (ACO) agents promise effective security automation with minimal human intervention, yet their deployment raises three interconnected challenges: agents must be realistic (reproducing diverse attacker sophistication), secure (preventing autonomy from becoming an attack surface), and feasible (safely replicating human behavior at full autonomy). We argue that these three properties are requirements for ACO […]

Liu, P. (CM) – Reimagining Workplace Concern Reporting: From Emotional Harm to Co-Designed Futures
Virtual EventWorkplace concern reporting infrastructure, including human resources (HR) portals, grievance procedures, and whistleblower hotlines, is the formal channel through which employees in most organizations raise concerns about harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. Yet existing research consistently finds that these systems fail the employees they are meant to protect: reports stall, concerns get filtered, retaliation occurs, and […]

Baskaran, D. (CM) – More than Just Fun: Exploring Meaningful Play, Communities of Play, and Relatedness of Play
Virtual EventPlay is often seen as a form of entertainment, leisure, or childhood development.

Tu, H. (CSE) – From Evaluation to Adaptation: Building Reliable Multimodal Intelligence
Virtual EventMultimodal large language models (MLLMs) are rapidly becoming general-purpose AI systems, yet their capabilities are advancing faster than our ability to evaluate, improve, and validate their reliability in realistic use. Standard benchmarks mainly measure in-distribution final-answer accuracy, leaving critical gaps in safety, robustness, fine-grained reasoning evaluation, and reliability in real-world agentic settings. My research proposes […]

CSE Colloquium – Learning to Image: Computational Microscopy for Dynamic Systems
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAPresenter: Laura Waller, UC Berkeley Abstract: Computational imaging jointly designs hardware and algorithms to push beyond the classical limits of imaging, enabling measurement of new quantities (e.g. 3D, phase, and super-resolution) with simple, inexpensive hardware. These approaches have already transformed consumer photography; our goal is to achieve a similar transformation in scientific microscopy. In this […]
