We are thrilled to invite you to join Libia Posada, a multidisciplinary artist as well as a physician, for this artist-led tour of Everything is Going Right, the premiere solo exhibition of her work in the United States. With artworks influenced by her medical training, Posada will discuss how she engages the body as a […]
Join us at Norrie’s Gift and Garden Shop at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden for a pop-up information booth about California’s Native Plants. Here at the Arboretum, we like […]
Presenter: Luat Vuong, Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering, UC Riverside Description: Given the growing computational demands of machine learning, how can we scale approaches for sifting through large volumes of data—including patterned or delayed information embedded as “noise”? Many computer vision applications have a strict power budget and demand robust, rapid-response, and even real-time image […]
This is a programming contest, but with a twist! Instead of scoring you based on your speed and solution accuracy, we score you based on your programming quality and solution […]
Presented by: Edward Wang Description: “What does it actually look like to invent something? In this talk, I trace the decade-long journey of turning a smartphone into a blood pressure monitor, from Seismo, which used smartphone accelerometers to measure pulse transit time, to BPClip, a dollar clip that brought calibration-free oscillometry to the fingertip, to VibroBP, which […]
Sanya Cowal from the UCSC Environmental Studies Department In Person Location: ISB 221 Zoom Link One of the most pressing global challenges considers how to combine sustainable agricultural land use with biodiversity conservation. Agricultural systems have been dramatically transformed and intensified, leading to the simplification of agricultural landscapes through increased agrochemical use, landscape homogeneity, decreased […]
Please join us for “This has a name: Witchcraft, suspicion, and circumlocution in Central Angola,” an Anthropology Colloquium with Iracema Dulley (Institute of Social Sciences, University of Lisbon), on April 27th at 3:30 in Social Sciences 1, Rm. 261 or by Zoom.
Presenter: Riddhiman Bhattacharya, Postdoc, UCSC Description: We propose an active learning approach for dynamic fair resource allocation problems. In contrast to prior work that assumes full feedback from all agents on their allocations, we focus on scenarios where feedback is available only from a carefully select subset of agents at each epoch of the online […]
Presenter: Marcos Calegari Andrade, Assistant Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry, UC Santa Cruz Description: In this talk, I will demonstrate how neural networks can represent the high-dimensional potential energy surfaces of many-body systems. By achieving the accuracy of first-principles quantum calculations at a fraction of the computational cost, these models enable atomistic simulations of condensed matter […]
“Do I really need a LinkedIn profile to get hired?” The answer is YES! Employers and recruiters absolutely use LinkedIn to look for and research candidates. Come to this fast-paced and practical workshop to learn more about the basics of creating a LinkedIn profile that gets noticed and just might help you land your dream job!
When two quite different disciplines make eerily similar predictions about the future of the planet and human societies, they deserve notice. Climate scientists warn that we may be heading toward a Hothouse Earth “inhospitable to … human societies,” with “increasingly catastrophic impacts” possibly “worldwide societal breakdown.” Finance and actuarial science emphasize the importance of tail […]
This evening blends science, poetry, and storytelling to explore our deepest origins and shared humanity. Tracing the cosmic formation of the elements that make our bodies, we reflect on an ancestry older than nations, borders, and labels. Through verse and story, we connect stellar history with lived experience, inviting us to see how our many identities arise from the same ancestral matter. Together, we explore how storytelling can soften divisions, cross boundaries, and remind us that we are forged from one common origin.
