SUMMARY:Ecology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Norris Center Art + Science Graduate Fellowship Exhibition \nEcology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World brings together the work of ten graduate students supported by the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History Art + Science Fellowship\, a program dedicated to creative research connecting art with the natural world. Across media – including sound\, moving image\, music\, performance\, installation\, comics\, social practice\, photography\, and storytelling – the artists in Ecology of Presence emphasize relationality and careful attention to place as essential to building relationships with environs. As accelerating environmental change and technological dependency threaten ways of belonging\, the works in this exhibition maintain a steadfast commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that propose kinship with the natural world. By coming together\, Art + Science Fellows artworks and social practices suggest ways of imagining human life in relation to the more-than-human world.

SUMMARY:Of Body and Soul: Politics and Eschatology in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:This seminar explores how pre-modern debates over body and soulshaped political and eschatological thought in the Mediterranean. Each panel brings Jewish\, Christian\, and Islamic voices into dialogue\, with Dante Alighieri’s oeuvre as a recurring point of comparison. Our aim is to situate questions of embodiment\, psychology\, soteriology\, and collective destiny in light of their historical contexts and their wider intellectual and political implications. \nPanels are organized around four thematic currents — Aristotelianism\, Neoplatonism\, Mysticism\, and Political Eschatology — in order to examine how body-soul anthropology\, political theology\, and visions of history intersected in the pre-modern Mediterranean (12th–16th centuries). \nFor more information: Of Body and Soul: Politics and Eschatology in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean \nThis event is sponsored by Siegfried B. and Elisabeth Mignon Puknat Literary Studies Endowment\, Porter College\, The Humanities Institute\, the Italian Studies and the Literature Department\, The Center for Jewish Studies\, University of California Regents System Collaboration Funding\, and San José State University Division of Research and Innovation.

SUMMARY:Ecology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Norris Center Art + Science Graduate Fellowship Exhibition \nEcology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World brings together the work of ten graduate students supported by the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History Art + Science Fellowship\, a program dedicated to creative research connecting art with the natural world. Across media – including sound\, moving image\, music\, performance\, installation\, comics\, social practice\, photography\, and storytelling – the artists in Ecology of Presence emphasize relationality and careful attention to place as essential to building relationships with environs. As accelerating environmental change and technological dependency threaten ways of belonging\, the works in this exhibition maintain a steadfast commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that propose kinship with the natural world. By coming together\, Art + Science Fellows artworks and social practices suggest ways of imagining human life in relation to the more-than-human world.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Query Optimization: How to design a Meta-Algorithm that designs Algorithms?
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Mahmoud Abo Khamis\, RelationalAI \nAbstract: \nDatabase systems have evolved from simple bookkeeping tools to comprehensive data analytics platforms capable of learning from the data and making business decisions. As a result\, database queries expanded in their expressive power and applications to include tensor computations\, constraint satisfaction problems\, graph analytics\, scientific computing\, SAT solving\, among others. This puts a lot of pressure on modern query optimizers to rise up to the occasion and produce efficient query plans for a wide variety of very complex queries that describe problems in different domains. The ultimate goal of query optimization is for the query optimizer to become a “meta-algorithm” where you can feed in any problem definition and get back an efficient algorithm for this particular problem. \nIn this talk\, we describe two related frameworks for query optimization that aim to take us one step in the direction of the above goal. The first framework is based on information theory. It uses information theory to get provably accurate cost estimates for query plans and to find the best query plan. Among other applications\, this framework currently achieves the best known complexity for graph pattern matching problems\, thus subsuming and generalizing known results in this area\, where\, for decades\, algorithms used to be designed by hand for specific graph patterns. The second framework is based on algebra. It uses algebraic abstractions to unify and generalize algorithms across different domains\, in the same way template programming allows for reusing code across different applications. \nBio: \nMahmoud Abo Khamis is a Senior Computer Scientist at RelationalAI\, where he has worked since 2017. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2016. Prior to joining RelationalAI\, he was a Senior Database Engineer at Infor from 2015 to 2017. His research interests include database systems and theory\, in-database machine learning\, query optimization and evaluation\, information theory\, and beyond worst-case analysis. His work has been recognized with two Test-of-Time Awards at ACM PODS 2025 and 2026\, three Best Paper Awards at ACM SIGMOD 2025 and ACM PODS 2022 and 2016\, three ACM SIGMOD Research Highlight Awards\, and the 2016 Best CSE Dissertation Award from SUNY Buffalo. His work has also received multiple invitations to the Journal of the ACM\, ACM STOC\, and ACM TODS. He is on the Editorial Board of ACM TODS\, and serves on the program committees of ACM PODS\, ICDT\, and ICALP among others. \nHosted by: Professor Nikos Tziavelis \nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180 (*Refreshments such as coffee\, tea\, pastries\, and fresh fruit will be provided in-person.) \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1&jst=3

SUMMARY:Ecology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Norris Center Art + Science Graduate Fellowship Exhibition \nEcology of Presence: Pathways to the Natural World brings together the work of ten graduate students supported by the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History Art + Science Fellowship\, a program dedicated to creative research connecting art with the natural world. Across media – including sound\, moving image\, music\, performance\, installation\, comics\, social practice\, photography\, and storytelling – the artists in Ecology of Presence emphasize relationality and careful attention to place as essential to building relationships with environs. As accelerating environmental change and technological dependency threaten ways of belonging\, the works in this exhibition maintain a steadfast commitment to interdisciplinary approaches that propose kinship with the natural world. By coming together\, Art + Science Fellows artworks and social practices suggest ways of imagining human life in relation to the more-than-human world.
