Have you ever wondered what really happens to your protocol after you hit submit? Join us for an informal, in-person conversation with IRB members to peel back the curtain on the review process. The event is open to all researchers, students, and staff conducting, planning, or supporting human subjects research. To ensure we address what […]
Presenter: J. Xavier Prochaska, Professor, UC Santa Cruz Description: I will present two current and challenging research problems from the domains of astrophysics and oceanography which are leveraging standard Bayesian methods. After describing the datasets, scientific goals, and currently methodology, I will welcome a discussion on ways to improve, advance, and/or replace the current approaches. […]
Presenter: Dr. Kelli Gutierrez, CSU Monterey Bay Description: Many microswimmers propel themselves using flagella, which are thin, threadlike filaments that beat in a periodic wavelike motion. The flagellar beat emerges from the coupled interactions between the surrounding fluid and the active and passive responses of the flagellum. Previous studies have observed the qualitative shape of […]
Many participants are involved in the Exploratory Reading Groups and the Research Pathways program in Baskin Engineering as well as in the Physical and Biological Sciences.
Presenter: Reza Fazel-Rezai, Senior Science and Education Application Engineer, MathWorks Description: Please join us to learn how to accelerate data analysis using a workflow that spans low-code tools, Generative AI, and Agentic AI. Through live demonstrations and practical examples, you’ll see how to import, explore, visualize, model, and process data using interactive tools that require […]
Presenter: Chrysoula Tsogka, Professor, Applied Mathematics, UC Merced Description: In a strongly scattering medium, waves undergo multiple scattering that is usually seen as an obstacle to imaging. Time-reversal experiments show the opposite: waves re-emitted into the medium refocus on their source more sharply than in a homogeneous medium, because scattering makes the array appear larger […]
Federal agencies and research sponsors are increasingly requiring institutions to attest to and provide evidence of research security compliance. The stakes go beyond a single grant: a security incident can trigger a review of that attestation, and granting agencies can pause or revoke funding across an entire program, not just one award. Join Chief Information […]
Presenter: Edric Tam, Warren Alpert Fellow in AI and Computational Biology, Department of Biomedical Data Science, Stanford University Description: A longstanding question in Bayesian analysis concerns the role of randomization. We introduce randomization posteriors, a class of generalized Bayesian updates obtained by averaging over an auxiliary randomization law. A particularly relevant instance assigns random weights […]
Please join Office of Research and Enterprise Financial Systems experts for a demonstration of the new Employee Compensation Certification (ECC) system. Presenters will review how this change impacts our reporting/certification processes, and provide greater context about “compensation certification” and how it differs from our previous “effort reporting” mindset. During this session, we will also define […]
