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. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break! No Art Friday\nNov 28 Unexpected Landscape Surrealist Collage\n\nPlease note that the date and the project is subject to change.

SUMMARY:Jorquera\, Z. (CSE) - Quantum Entanglement Bounds and the Approximation Algorithms That Use Them
DESCRIPTION:One of the central challenges in quantum computing is finding or approximating the ground-state energy of a local Hamiltonian\, a quantum analogue of classical constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). Among these\, the Quantum Max-Cut problem serves as a canonical example\, paralleling the classical Max-Cut problem. Despite its foundational importance in both theoretical computer science and condensed matter physics\, our understanding of approximation algorithms for Quantum Max-Cut and related local Hamiltonian problems remains limited\, primarily due to the difficulty of representing and optimizing over entangled quantum states. \nIn this advancement talk\, we introduce the quantum information background needed to contextualize the results and the significance of the proposed future work by drawing an analogy to classical optimization. We then investigate approximation algorithms for 2-local Hamiltonians beyond qubit systems\, focusing on higher-dimensional qudit analogues\, such as Quantum Max-d-Cut and a new problem we introduce: the Maximal Entanglement problem. We establish new entanglement upper bounds for these problems based on the star bound\, a key tool for analyzing entanglement monogamy in Hamiltonian optimization. For the Maximal Entanglement problem\, we show that these bounds can be efficiently certified via semidefinite programs (SDPs) and that they directly admit a (1/d + O(1/D))-approximation algorithm (where D is the degree of the interaction graph)\, which beats random assignment. For Quantum Max-d-Cut\, the star bound gives a more complicated notion of entanglement\, for which we show that the basic SDP can verify this bound for all reduced marginals on up to five vertices when d=3\, but likely fails for larger subgraphs. We further propose that b-matchings\, with b = d-1\, capture the appropriate notion of entanglement for these higher-dimensional Quantum Max-d-Cut systems\, analogous to matchings in the qubit/Quantum Max-Cut case. Leveraging this insight\, we design a novel 2-matching-based algorithm that outperforms existing approaches for Quantum Max-3-Cut\, giving an approximation ratio of 0.555. \nThe present work advances the theoretical framework for understanding approximations in qudit Hamiltonians and highlights open directions for certifying quantum upper bounds as well as finding lower bounds via approximation algorithms. \n  \nEvent Host: Zack Jorquera\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science and Engineering  \nAdvisor: Alexandra Kolla  \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98034235739?pwd=k260nd9labWT8xoQ9Cv3m2TATGw7VB.1

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. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Field School Workshop: Why and how to get your first fieldwork exposure
DESCRIPTION:Please join Anthropology’s Field School Workshop: Why and how to get your first fieldwork exposure on Wednesday\, November 19th\, from 12-1pm in 261\, Social Sciences 1\, hosted by Prof. Vicky Oelze and Anthropology majors Annie Bleveans\, Lina Pesso\, and Jamie Sorensen. \nThe main purpose of attending a field school in archaeology\, biological anthropology\, paleoanthropology or primatology is to gain hands-on experience in the basic field methods of these disciplines\, such as survey and excavation techniques\, observational data and sample collection and data analysis\, and usually involves several weeks of institutionally organized field work under the guidance of faculty and other experts. \nAre you wondering:\nHow do I pick the right school and how do I apply?\nWhat is field school like and is it really the right thing for me? \nThen please join our conversation\, in which we will provide rich resources on how to find and select field schools and also field volunteering opportunities. We will share our very own field school experiences and what we learned. Finally\, there will be plenty of time to address questions from the student audience. \nRefreshments (pizza) will be served.

SUMMARY:CSE Colloquium - Flux: Refinement Types for Verified Rust Systems
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Ranjit Jhala\, UCSD\n\nAbstract: Rust has risen as a language of choice for new systems code — from OS kernels to hypervisors\, firmware and run-times — as it is memory safe and provides the sort of abstractions needed for efficient low-level systems implementation. We present Flux\, a refinement type checker for Rust that shows how logical refinements can work in tandem with Rust’s ownership mechanisms to yield ergonomic type-based verification of low-level systems code. We then present a case study showing how Flux was used to formally verify process isolation in Tock: a microcontroller OS used in security-critical systems like the Google Security Chip (GSC) and Microsoft’s Pluton security processor. Our verification effort unearthed multiple subtle bugs that broke isolation\, allowing malicious applications to compromise the OS to potentially steal sensitive data or brick or take control of the OS. We describe how Flux helped design and implement a new granular process abstraction that is both simpler\, more efficient\, and yields formally verified security guarantees.\n\nBio:\nRanjit Jhala is a professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California\, San Diego. He works on algorithms and tools that help engineer reliable computer systems. His work draws from and contributes to the areas of Model Checking\, Program Analysis\, and Automated Deduction\, and Type Systems. He helped create several influential and award winning systems including the BLAST software model checker and Liquid Types\, received ACM SIGPLAN’s Robin Milner Young Researcher Award\, and is a Fellow of the ACM.\n\nHosted by: Professor Mohsen Lesani\n\nLocation: Engineering 2\, Room E2-180\n*Refreshments such as coffee and pastries will be provided.\n\nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93445911992?pwd=YkJ2TQtF79h0PcNXbEcpZLbpK0coiY.1

SUMMARY:Corporations at Climate Crossroads: Book Talk with Lily Hsueh
DESCRIPTION:With climate risks growing\, climate action facing political headwinds in many countries\, and international cooperation increasingly challenged\, Lily Hsueh’s Corporations at Climate Crossroads illuminates how and under what conditions the world’s largest corporations have taken proactive action on climate change during the years leading up to and after the Paris Agreement. \nDrawing on insights from economics\, political science\, and management\, the author uncovers how corporations and their leaders are key players in a nested structure of climate change governance. Hsueh shows that corporate leaders’ climate actions are shaped by bottom-up and top-down institutions and incentives involving firm\, regulatory\, and global governance. To navigate uncertainty\, corporate responses to the climate challenge are therefore an interplay of internal firm leadership\, complementary capabilities in adjacent areas\, and strategic and proactive engagement with regulatory process and global governance. Sophisticated large-N statistical analyses of global businesses’ climate mitigation and performance from 2011 to 2020 and illustrative company case studies substantiate the demand for\, and supply of\, global businesses’ climate mitigation\, across sectors\, and in developed and developing countries. \nPlease join us for this book talk in-person at the Interdisciplinary Sciences Building (ISB 102). Open to all. \nJoin online at: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98816465544?pwd=Li4HOKSoaal6PCIJcyG5hBRl60hHfW.1 \nMeeting ID: 988 1646 5544\nPasscode: 860374 \nPreceded by a panel “The Role of Corporations in a+3ºC World” to be held on Zoom at 2 p.m. on November 18. \nMeeting ID: 684 546 2150\nPasscode: Karoli\nSponsored by \nInstitute for Social Transformation and Earth Futures Institute \nAbout the author: Dr. Lily Hsueh\, PhD \nLily Hsueh is Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Arizona State University\, where she is also a Senior Global Futures Scientist at the ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory. She is an affiliate scholar at the Stanford Woods \nInstitute for the Environment.

SUMMARY:Macroeconomics & International Finance Seminar Series Presents: Yuriy Gorodnichenko
DESCRIPTION:Macroeconomics and International Finance Seminar\nDate: Tuesday\, November 18\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Yuriy Gorodnichenko\nTitle: Quantedge Presidential Professor of Economics\nAffiliation: UC Berkeley\nHost: Pascal Michaillat\n \nSeminar title:  How costly are business cycle volatility and inflation? A Vox Populi approach\n \nABSTRACT:  Using surveys of households across thirteen countries\, we study how much individuals would be willing to pay to eliminate business cycles. These direct estimates are much higher than traditional measures following Lucas (2003): on average\, households would be prepared to sacrifice around 5-6% of their lifetime consumption eliminate business cycle fluctuations. A similar result holds for inflation: to bring inflation to their desired rate\, individuals would be willing to sacrifice around 5% of their consumption. Willingness to pay to eliminate business cycles and inflation is generally higher for those whose consumption is more pro-cyclical\, those who are more uncertain about the economic outlook\, and those who live in countries with greater historical volatility.

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. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break!

SUMMARY:Statistics Seminar: Beyond the Average Treatment Effect: Causal Mediation Methods for Understanding Intervention Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Hanna Kim\, Assistant Professor\, Psychology Department\, UCSC \nDescription: Understanding how an intervention works is a central question in behavioral and social research\, following the demonstration of its overall effect. Traditional mediation analysis techniques often assume a homogeneous mechanism of effects\, overlooking both validity concerns and subgroup variation in causal pathways. In this talk\, I present a series of developments in causal mediation methods aimed at identifying and estimating natural direct and indirect effects\, addressing challenges such as unobserved confounding and heterogeneity across subpopulations. I illustrate these approaches using data from early childhood education programs and online course participation\, showing how causal mediation analysis can reveal diverse mechanisms of change. The talk concludes with current directions for integrating mixture modeling and clustered data analysis with causal inference to enhance both robustness and interpretability at the interface of statistics and applied research. \nBio: Hanna Kim is an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Psychology at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. Her research centers on advancing causal inference and mediation methods to investigate how educational programs influence child development and how effects differ across subpopulations. She also integrates latent variable modeling with dyadic data analysis to study interpersonal dynamics. Her work bridges psychology and statistics to address methodological challenges in applied research\, with publications in Psychological Methods\, Cancer Epidemiology\, Biomarkers & Prevention\, Journal of Substance Use and Addiction Treatment\, and the Asian Journal of Education. \n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by: Professor Paul Parker
