SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Wang\, S. (CSE) - Learned Hashing and Overlay Networks for AI-native Retrieval and Serving at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Modern AI systems demand low-latency high-quality retrieval and serving over billion-scale keys and vectors. This proposal studies learned hashing and overlay networks to co-locate semantically related items and steer queries with minimal coordination. We first present LEAD\, to our knowledge the first use of order-preserving learned hash functions in distributed key-value overlays\, enabling efficient range queries and cutting hops/messages by 80–90% in prototypes while retaining balance and churn resilience. Second\, Vortex applies learned hashing to approximate nearest-neighbor retrieval: a self-organizing overlay binding learned keys to distributed HNSW indexes to achieve high recall at low fan-out. Third\, PlanetServe introduces onion-style path setup with multi-path dispersal and cache-aware forwarding for open LLM serving\, reducing TTFT and latency while preserving privacy. Planned work generalizes learned hashing to embedding partitions\, token/KV caches\, programmable switches\, and storage tiers\, and provides formal convergence\, load-balancing\, and monotonic-progress guarantees under skew and churn. We are also working to design the first knowledge delivery network for LLM serving: an overlay that unifies data placement\, retrieval\, and policy-aware routing across clusters and providers with tunable cost\, privacy\, and quality. Evaluation on real workloads at scale will measure recall\, tail latency\, cost\, and robustness\, targeting a predictable\, elastic\, scalable AI-native retrieval and serving stack. \nEvent Host: Shengze Wang\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Chen Qian \n  \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/5455463199?pwd=bHRVM01Vd20rcVpkc0FQY01kZG1UUT09&omn=98106984546 \nPasscode: 2121

SUMMARY:"Bring Them Home" Screening
DESCRIPTION:The American Indian Resource Center will be screening "Bring Them Home" at the Namaste Lounge this November 7th.\n"Bring Them Home" is more than a film; it is a movement aimed at raising awareness around the Blackfeet's buffalo program\, a cornerstone in their fight against the lingering shadows of colonization\, oppression\, and trauma. Through this campaign\, we aspire to amplify the tribe's rewilding efforts\, support the sustainability of their buffalo program\, and convey the critical message of living in harmony with animals and the land.\nThe narrative of the Blackfeet and bison is intertwined with themes of survival\, resilience\, and rebirth. These majestic creatures are integral to every face of the Blackfeet culture\, playing a vital role in ceremonies and symbolizing the community's cultural\, spiritual\, and economic healing. The recent release of the Elk Island Herd into the wild marks a significant step in this journey\, despite the numerous challenges encountered along the way.\n

SUMMARY:Nguyen\, R. (BMEB) - Development of Computational Methods for Reliable Genetic Identification of Forensic Samples
DESCRIPTION:Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the recovery of genetic data from minimal\, contaminated\, and highly degraded samples\, overcoming long-standing barriers in forensic analysis. Nevertheless\, many evidentiary samples still yield poor-quality DNA that is unconducive to PCR amplification of short tandem repeats (STRs)\, microarray genotyping\, or deep sequencing necessary for accurate\, complete genotype calls. \nThis dissertation addresses these challenges through the development of computational methods for reliable identity analysis of forensic samples. First\, I present IBDGem\, a fast and robust computational procedure for detecting identity-by-descent (IBD) regions by comparing low-coverage sequence data from an unknown sample against SNP genotype calls from a known individual. Using data from the 1000 Genomes Project and a panel of 8 rootless hairs\, I demonstrate that IBDGem can detect relatedness segments at 1x coverage and achieve high-confidence identifications with as little as 0.01x coverage. \nThe next part of my thesis examines the characteristics of DNA derived from single\, rootless hairs and evaluates their potential as a source of forensic genetic information. Analyses of 80 rootless hair samples reveal DNA fragmentation patterns associated with endonuclease-mediated degradation and nucleosome positioning. This chapter also shows that even short segments of rootless hair shafts can yield adequate sequence data to generate statistical support for or against identity. \nFinally\, I present a comprehensive analysis of IBDGem’s performance across a range of data conditions and program settings. I find that IBDGem is robust to moderate input errors and can identify the major contributor in two-person mixtures. The method also reliably distinguishes self-comparisons from close-relative comparisons\, and remains effective even when limited to 94 target SNPs in the ForenSeq assay. Overall\, these findings establish IBDGem as a practical tool for analyzing trace DNA evidence when conventional methods are unsuccessful. \nEvent Host: Remy Nguyen\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics  \nAdvisor: Ed Green \n  \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/91522009894?pwd=JWPSUcIi7IaZ4YOeLDQJohyRApos4T.1 \nPasscode- 854645

SUMMARY:AM Seminar: Structure-Preserving Discretizations and their Applications
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Andy Wan\, Assistant Professor\, University of California\, Merced \n  \nDescription: Many models from science and engineering possess fundamental structures which are important to preserve in order for accurate and stable long-term predictions. For instance\, preserving conserved quantities\, such as energy\, mass and momentum\, are fundamental in many physical systems. Moreover\, preserving dissipative quantities\, such as entropy or Lyapunov functions\, are also essential for predicting correct asymptotic limits. In this talk\, we will survey a recent new class of conservative and dissipation-preserving integrators\, called the Discrete Multiplier Method (DMM). We will discuss various applications to many-body systems\, geodesic flow\, and particle methods in fluids and kinetic models. Moreover\, we will introduce Conservative Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, which utilizes DMM to improve sampling efficacy of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for high dimensional target distributions. If time permits\, we will also discuss how structure-preservation in scientific machine learning can improve long-term predictions and be amenable to error analysis on accuracy bounds. \n  \nBio: Andy Wan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of California\, Merced (UC Merced). Prior to joining UC Merced in 2024\, he received his Ph.D. from Polytechnique Montreal\, and was a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University and later an assistant professor at the University of Northern British Columbia. His research interests are in numerical analysis\, scientific computing\, and scientific machine learning. He focuses on structure-preserving discretizations\, specifically in the theory and development of conservative and dissipation-preserving integrators\, as well as their applications to mathematical sciences\, computational statistics and scientific machine learning. He is currently a co-investigator of the 2024-2027 Collaborative Research Group on “Structure-Preserving Discretizations and their Applications”\, supported by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). He has also recently co-organized a summer school and hackathon event on “Structure-Preserving Scientific Computing and Machine Learning”\, supported by NSF and PIMS. \n  \nHosted by: Professor Julie Simons \n

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.
