Saleem, O. (ECE) – Coupled Evacuation Readiness and Post-Disaster Restoration for Vehicle-to-Grid Enabled Resilient Power–Transportation Networks
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventThe accelerating adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in California is reshaping both the transportation and electrical grids at the moment as climate-driven disasters are intensifying in frequency and severity. This dual transition exposes a critical structural gap: existing resilience research treats pre-disaster evacuation readiness and post-disaster grid restoration as separate problems, even though both are […]

Nag, S. (BMEB) – Personalized Diploid Genome Graphs for Accurate Somatic Variant Discovery
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventMany somatic variant-calling pipelines begin by aligning tumor and matched-normal sequencing reads to a single linear reference genome, such as GRCh38. Because every individual differs substantially from this reference, this approach can introduce reference bias, causing reads to map incorrectly or not at all and potentially leading to missed somatic variants or germline variants being […]

Shen, J. (STAT) – Bayesian Modeling and Uncertainty Quantification for Verbal Autopsy Data
Virtual EventVerbal autopsy (VA) is a well developed tool to collect information describing deaths outside of hospitals by conducting surveys to the relatives and caregivers of the deceased person. It is routinely-implemented in low and middle income countries, where it often lacks sufficient resources to conduct the autopsy. The main task is to estimate both individual […]

Dry Farm Tomato Field Day
Hay Barn 94 Ranch View Road, Santa Cruz, CA, United StatesClimate change models predict increasingly hot and dry conditions, raising concerns about impacts on agricultural production and food security. Answering this challenge is organic dry farming, a sustainable practice that allows growers to produce crops under arid conditions with little irrigation. Researchers from UC Santa Cruz and the University of Oregon are studying the environmental […]

Zhang, X. (STAT) – Predictive Generalized Variational Inference for Spatial Gaussian Process Model
Virtual EventSpatially 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 […]

Devarajan, K. (ECE) – Towards Multimodal Detection of Neuronal Signaling using Graphene Heterostructures
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 high spatial resolution through optical imaging, while integrating these modalities within a single interface remains challenging. This work seeks to develop a transparent, flexible, and […]

Chen, Y. (STAT) – Flexible Bayesian Models for High-Dimensional and Longitudinal Discrete Data in Microbiome Studies
Virtual EventMultivariate 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 longitudinal studies. Drawing inferences about objects of primary scientific interest—such as temporal trajectories of microbial abundance, microbial interactions, clusters of microbes similarly associated with environmental […]

Abdulaziz, A. (ECE) – Learning-Based Channel Estimation for Next-Generation Wireless Communications
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventCoherent 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 time-varying and frequency-selective channels and in short-packet communications, where accurate channel estimation is challenging and pilot overhead can be significant. This dissertation investigates how CSI […]
