This year\, we will be hosting Professor Amada Armenta\, UCLA Director of Latino Policy and Politics Institute. In this talk\, Amada Armenta traces the policy and practice of immigration enforcement in the United States. Drawing on years of qualitative research with police officers\, bureaucrats\, and undocumented immigrants\, she examines how the politics of enforcement are enacted in everyday life—through discretionary decisions\, local collaborations\, and moral reasoning. Armenta shows how immigration enforcement generates moral tensions for those who carry it out and existential dilemmas for those forced to live within its reach\, revealing a system that exposes the uneven burdens of power and belonging. \n  \n2026 Distinguished Lecture (1) \n  URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/policing-belonging-the-politics-of-immigration-enforcement/ LOCATION:Hay Barn\, 94 Ranch View Road\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations,Undergraduate GEO:36.9817736;-122.0569624 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hay Barn 94 Ranch View Road Santa Cruz CA 95064 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=94 Ranch View Road:geo:-122.0569624,36.9817736 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260422T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260422T210000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184029 CREATED:20260312T234855Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260312T234855Z UID:10011297-1776880800-1776891600@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Women of Color Environmentalists panel 2026 DESCRIPTION:Join the UCSC People of Color Sustainability Collective for a panel that celebrates the efforts\, voices\, and visions of women of color environmentalists.

(STAT) - Flexible and Scalable Mixtures of Experts for Oceanographic Flow Cytometry Data DESCRIPTION:Flow cytometry is a valuable technique in microbial research used to measure the optical properties of single-celled organisms at high throughput. Oceanographers often deploy flow cytometers on research cruises in order to study the characteristics of phytosynthetic microbes—called phytoplankton—in regions and times with diverse environmental conditions. Because cytometers cannot distinguish between subpopulations\, researchers typically cluster observations into subpopulations and subsequently analyze cluster characteristics. This two-stage workflow is often manual\, difficult to reproduce\, and fails to account for uncertainty in cluster assignments when relating subpopulation behavior to environmental conditions. To address these shortcomings\, statistical mixture models are gradually being introduced as alternatives to manual flow cytometry data analysis. However\, existing models either cannot use covariates or make restrictive assumptions about the relationships between cluster characteristics and covariates. Additionally\, they are designed to analyze individual cruises and consequently characterize local\, rather than global\, patterns in phytoplankton behavior. We propose to develop computationally efficient mixtures of experts which account for the complex dependency structures in oceanographic flow cytometry data. In this framework\, cells are probabilistically assigned to latent subpopulations\, while cluster-specific regressions relate each subpopulation’s optical properties and relative abundance to environmental conditions. Our first project develops a mixture of random weight neural network experts which can estimate arbitrary nonlinear regressions at low computational cost\, without a priori specification of functional forms. In the second project\, we develop a variational Bayesian mixture of experts which automatically selects variables without requiring cross-validation for hyperparameter selection. The final project incorporates spatial and temporal dependence\, allowing joint inference on data collected from multiple research cruises conducted at different locations and times. \nEvent Host: Ethan Pawl\, Ph.D. Student\, Statistical Science \nAdvisors: Sangwon Hyun & Paul Parker \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/96353239941?pwd=a4PJ94EMSD6D0SJ75S3WYzrPbYsBtn.1 \nPasscode- 244463 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/pawl-e-stat-flexible-and-scalable-mixtures-of-experts-for-oceanographic-flow-cytometry-data/ LOCATION:Engineering 2\, Engineering 2 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064 CATEGORIES:Ph.D. Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/option-3.png GEO:37.0009723;-122.0632371 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street Santa Cruz CA 95064;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Engineering 2 1156 High Street:geo:-122.0632371,37.0009723 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260423T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260423T180000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184029 CREATED:20260324T154908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T192133Z UID:10011366-1776963600-1776967200@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Artist Roundtable for EASP M.F.A.

(STATS) - Semi-Supervised Statistical Learning for Oceanographic Data DESCRIPTION:Oceanographic data\, generated by modern technologies that measure biological systems across time\, space\, and cell populations\, are often rich\, high-dimensional\, and highly heterogeneous. Such data provide valuable opportunities to study subcellular organization\, cellular heterogeneity\, and dynamic biological processes in marine environments. However\, because marine plankton systems remain relatively understudied and less well characterized than many model biological systems\, both data generation and labeling are particularly challenging. Limited domain knowledge and less mature laboratory protocols often produce noisy observations\, while reliable annotation requires substantial expert effort and is therefore difficult to obtain at scale.\nThis proposal develops statistical methodology for oceanographic data settings in which a small amount of expert-labeled data must be combined with a much larger collection of unlabeled or imperfectly processed data. A central goal is to incorporate limited scientific knowledge into statistical learning procedures to improve interpretability\, component identifiability\, and inferential reliability. In particular\, I develop semi-supervised statistical methods that explicitly quantify the information contributed by expert annotation.\nTo address this goal\, I study three related problems: semi-supervised functional clustering for subcellular spatial proteomics\, anchored semi-supervised mixture-of-experts models for flow cytometry\, and temporally structured latent-variable models that separate smooth trend and seasonal variation from scientific signals of interest. Together\, these projects aim to develop principled and interpretable methodology for partially labeled\, structured\, and high-dimensional oceanographic data\, with an emphasis on valid uncertainty quantification. \nEvent Host: Ziyue Zheng\, Ph.D. Student\, Statistical Science \nAdvisor: Sangwon Hyun \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93229540289?pwd=8bsBOSBFmISlexmS4OWTmTZKp420u2.1 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/zheng-z-stats-semi-supervised-statistical-learning-for-oceanographic-data/ LOCATION:Engineering 2\, Engineering 2 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064 CATEGORIES:Ph.D. Presentations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/ph.d.-presentation-graphic-option-3.png GEO:37.0009723;-122.0632371 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street Santa Cruz CA 95064;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Engineering 2 1156 High Street:geo:-122.0632371,37.0009723 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260425T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260425T150000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184029 CREATED:20260202T223235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260211T002936Z UID:10009147-1777111200-1777129200@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Spring Plant Sale DESCRIPTION:Stock your garden with premium organic seedlings while supporting student education!

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 resource allocation process. Despite this limitation\, our algorithms achieve sub-linear regret in the number of time-periods for multiple fairness metrics commonly used in resource allocation problems and stability constraints inherent to matching mechanisms. The core innovation of our approach lies in the adaptive identification of the most informative feedback through dueling upper and lower confidence bounds. This strategy enables efficient decision-making with limited feedback\, achieving favorable outcomes across various problem classes. \nAbout the speaker: I am Riddhiman Bhattacharya\, currently a postdoc at UCSC\, Statistics Department\, working with Justin (Sangwon Hyun). I have previously been a postdoc at Purdue and have obtained my PhD from the University of Minnesota in Statistics. I am interested in methodological development in statistics with varied applications including oceanography\, biology and economics. I am also interested in theoretical development of statistics particularly in the fields of Markov Chain Monte Carlo\, Optimization and Fast Sampling.

By achieving the accuracy of first-principles quantum calculations at a fraction of the computational cost\, these models enable atomistic simulations of condensed matter at unprecedented scales. I will discuss how this approach provides a detailed lens into chemical reaction dynamics under experimentally relevant conditions and facilitates the direct calculation of observables\, such as vibrational spectra\, effectively bridging the gap between theoretical simulation and experimental observation. \nAbout the speaker: Marcos Calegari Andrade is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He earned his PhD from Princeton University\, where he developed machine learning models to simulate the chemistry and vibrational spectroscopy of condensed-phase systems. He later joined the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, applying deep neural network models to fundamental challenges in climate and energy security. His current research at UCSC focuses on the application of machine learning to molecular simulations\, with a particular emphasis on chemical reaction mechanisms\, vibrational spectroscopy\, and the development of automated simulation frameworks. \nThis seminar is hosted by Applied Mathematics URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/am-seminar-machine-learning-in-molecular-simulations/ LOCATION:Jack Baskin Engineering\, Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064 CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations,Seminars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/calegariandr1.png GEO:37.000369;-122.0632371 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street Santa Cruz CA 95064;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street:geo:-122.0632371,37.000369 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260428T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260428T150000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184029 CREATED:20260311T203216Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T203216Z UID:10011310-1777384800-1777388400@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:LinkedIn 101: Create A Great Profile That Gets Noticed!

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. \nRegister to attend in-person or virtual\nDoors open at 5:30 p.m. for guests attending in person\nLecture: 6 p.m.\nFollowed by a reception for in-person guests\nFree and open to the public\nParking is $6 \nPresented by the UC Santa Cruz Emeriti Association \n  \n  \n \nEnrico Ramirez-Ruiz studies some of the most powerful explosions since the birth of the universe by looking not at the heavens but at computer models.

Yamashita will be in conversation with Alice Yang\, Professor of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nIn February 1942\, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor\, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order authorizing the secretary of war to remove 120\,000 Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast and corral them into inland concentration camps. \n \nQuestions 27 & 28 reaches backward and forward from the time of the questionnaire\, chronicling the individuals who arrived in the US from Japan at the turn of the century\, their children who came of age during war and incarceration\, and their descendants who lived in its aftermath. Yamashita mixes fact with fiction and layers genres from James Bond movies to haiku to oral history\, transfiguring an enormity of archival research into a chorus of stories. With her signature wit and aplomb\, she gives voice to laborers\, artists\, scholars\, informants\, and activists who\, over three generations\, defined an immigrant community. \nKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of nine books\, including I Hotel\, finalist for the National Book Award. Recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 2021 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, she is Professor Emerita of literature and creative writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. In 2024 Yamashita was inducted as a Literature Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nAlice Yang is Professor of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She received her Ph.D. in history from Stanford University and currently co-directs the Center for the Study of Pacific War Memories. She specializes in memories of the Pacific War\, Asian American history\, race\, gender\, oral history\, historical memory\, and twentieth-century America. Her publications include Historical Memories of the Japanese American Internment and the Struggle for Redress (2007)\, Major Problems in Asian American History (2003\, 2017) and What Did the Internment of Japanese Americans Mean? (2000). Her exhibit\, Never Again is Now: Japanese American Women Activists and the Legacy of Mass Incarceration\, appeared at UC Santa Cruz\, the Watsonville Public Library and the Japanese American Museum of San Jose. She also has served as chair of the UCSC History Department and provost of Stevenson College at UCSC. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Karen Tei Yamashita \n\nCo-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

Not only are distributed systems concurrent\, they pose additional challenges including data consistency and fault tolerance. At the same time\, the share of software systems that are necessarily distributed systems is growing rapidly. As a result\, too many software developers are asked to become distributed systems experts. Thus\, tools and techniques for ensuring the correctness of distributed systems are urgently needed in order to leave this unsustainable trajectory. This talk presents research results towards the design and implementation of programming systems that support emerging applications and workloads; provide reliability and trust; and embrace simplicity and accessibility. Concretely\, the presented work focuses on two directions. \nThe first direction explores a distributed programming model that provides consistency while enabling high availability for workloads operating on join-semilattices without sacrificing partition tolerance. We propose a new consistency protocol\, called observable atomic consistency protocol (OACP)\, which leverages on-demand coordination to support both coordination-free operations as well as totally-ordered operations on replicated data types. We present a formal\, mechanized model of OACP in rewriting logic and verify key correctness properties using the model checking tool Maude. Furthermore\, we present the evaluation of a prototype implementation of OACP based on Akka\, a widely-used actor-based middleware. The second direction explores a programming system that aims to reconcile the scalability and fault tolerance of stream processing systems with the flexibility of the actor concurrency model. The programming system ensures a failure-transparency property\, effectively masking failures through transparent recovery. Our work is the first to formalize failure transparency using a small-step operational semantics\, and to provide proofs of failure transparency for stateful dataflow streaming and a fault-tolerant actor-based programming model. \nBio: \nPhilipp Haller is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm\, Sweden. His main research interests are in the design and implementation of programming languages\, type systems\, concurrency\, and distributed programming. He was part of the team that received the 2019 ACM SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award for the development of the Scala programming language. Prior to KTH\, he was an early employee at Akka (previously Lightbend\, Inc.)\, a start-up company developing and supporting Scala as well as frameworks for large-scale distributed programming. Prior to Akka\, he was a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University\, USA\, and at EPFL\, Switzerland. In 2010 he received his PhD in computer science from EPFL\, including a nomination for the 2010 EPFL Doctorate Award. In 2006 he received his Dipl.-Inform. degree from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (previously University of Karlsruhe)\, Germany. \nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani \nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180 (Refreshments such as fruit\, pastries\, coffee\, and tea will be provided.) \nZoom Option: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3 URL:https://events.ucsc.edu/event/cse-colloquium-towards-safe-and-resilient-large-scale-distributed-programming/ LOCATION:Engineering 2\, Engineering 2 1156 High Street\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, 95064 CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations,Seminars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.ucsc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/BElogoWHITE.png GEO:37.0009723;-122.0632371 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street Santa Cruz CA 95064;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Engineering 2 1156 High Street:geo:-122.0632371,37.0009723 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260429T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260429T173000 DTSTAMP:20260408T184029 CREATED:20260210T002958Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260210T002958Z UID:10009183-1777476600-1777483800@events.ucsc.edu SUMMARY:Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed DESCRIPTION:Please join us as Quinn Slobodian & Ben Tarnoff discuss their new book\, Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed (April\, 2026). \nA Financial Times Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of the Year ‱ A Kirkus Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of Spring 2026‱ A Literary Hub Most Anticipated Book of the Year\n\nA pyrotechnic examination of Elon Musk as a symptom and avatar of our postliberal age \nEveryone’s got an Elon take. He’s a messiah. A menace; a genius; a clown. The verdicts differ\, but they share one theme: they treat him as an individual. Muskism argues otherwise. Elon Musk isn’t a glitch in the system—he is the system. His worldview promises sovereignty through technology: plug in\, power up\, and become self-reliant. But the more you connect\, the more he owns you.\nIf Fordism defined the capitalism of the twentieth century\, Muskism may define the twenty-first. Fordism helped build the welfare state. Musk undoes it. He thrives on dependence while preaching freedom. His cars run on subsidies; his satellites run the battlefield; his social networks train the AI that trains us. Muskism sells itself as the future but entrenches age-old hierarchies. It offers autonomy for some and exclusion for others. It’s pro-natalist but anti-immigrant\, futurist but reactionary. It speaks of humanity but warns against empathy. Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff cut through the hype and the hate to reveal what Musk really represents: a new political economy\, where to be “free” means to serve a Technoking. Muskism isn’t about the man. It’s about the machine that made him—and the world he’s making next. \nQuinn Slobodian is professor of international history at Boston University\, and the author or editor of seven books translated into ten languages including\, Hayek’s Bastards: Race\, Gold\, IQ and the Capitalism of the Far Right\, Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World without Democracy\, and Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism. \nBen Tarnoff is a writer and technologist based in Massachusetts and is the author of Internet for the People and the co-author of Voices from the Valley: Tech Workers Talk About What They Do—And How They Do It. He is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books\, and has also written for the New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and the New Republic\, among other publications.
