Modeling environmental extremes often involves large collections of spatial or temporal records where both clustering similar series and modeling dependence among extremes are challenging tasks. This Ph.D. proposal addresses several related problems in extreme value analysis. In particular, we study how to cluster many time series based on their extremal behavior using strategies defined via […]
Presenter: Sara Ackerman, Medical Anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco Description: Team science has been widely promoted as a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to […]

Presenter: Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji, Associate Research Scientist, Genomics Institute UCSC Description: We can now grow small pieces of human brain tissue in the lab, known as brain organoids. These models […]
Presenter: Dr. Ryan Giordano, UC Berkeley Statistics Description: Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification (MrP) has become a workhorse method for estimating population quantities using non-probability surveys, and is the primary alternative […]
Presenter: Dr. Aw, Department of Genetics, University of Pennsylvania Description: Admixed groups consist of individuals descended from two or more historically separated ancestral populations, and they are underrepresented in biomedical […]
Are you curious about generative AI development tools and vibe coding? Join us for an excitng in-person boot camp where you will take part in a hands-on lab that will introduce you to the fundamentals of this rapidly growing field. Here’s the tentative schedule: 1:00 – 1:45 – Intro to AI/ML 1:45 – 2:45 – […]
Robotic space missions often use discrete event simulation to reduce risk in operation. A simulation applies a set of planned activities to a model of mission resources, and the model’s observed behavior is used to predict real-world outcomes. However, logically concurrent activities are typically simulated under one possible linearization of their events – an order […]
Presenter: Ravi Kumar, Google Abstract: In discrete choice, a user selects one option from a finite set of available alternatives, a process that is crucial for recommendation systems applications in e-commerce, […]
This quarter, make time for you, for reflection, and for community!
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we understand and solve the world’s most complex challenges—while at the same time causing new challenges and concerns. We invite you to join us for […]
Sequencing technologies have transformed population and evolutionary genetics, making it possible to ask questions at scales that were intractable a decade ago. Realizing that potential depends on tailored computational approaches, and on the tools and infrastructure those approaches are built on. My dissertation works across this spectrum. Using an in vitro Drosophila cell culture system, […]
