SUMMARY:CM Seminar - "From Sibelius to Game: Crafting Adaptive Music for 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance'"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Adam Sporka \nDescription: “This talk explores the technical and creative processes behind the music of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II\, where I served as a music programmer\, and soundtrack contributor. Using our proprietary Sequence Music Engine and music logic module\, we authentically scored the game’s 1400s Bohemia setting with segment-based adaptive music driven by in-game variables. Our workflow centers around the notation program Sibelius and our custom tool Converdi\, which streamlines the production by converting the score symbols to preliminary MIDI streams per individual VSTs and by extracting the precise timing data necessary for the segment transitions. This enabled us to spend more time on the creative aspects of music and less time on production and implementation.” \nThe key takeaways from the talk are as follows: \n* Production should start with a complete score\, and not just the MIDI exports therefrom\n* Custom automation tools can streamline the music creation workflow and reduce the production time\n* Resequencing is more suitable for classical and medievalesque music than layering\n* Rapid music prototyping allows for early testing of adaptive music directly in the game \nBio: Adam Sporka is a software developer by trade\, a musician by domain\, and a scientist by approach. As a researcher\, developer\, and educator in game audio\, he places a special focus on interactive music. He has served as the technical music director for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (Warhorse Studios) and is the author of the Sequence Music Engine\, a proprietary adaptive music middleware used in both games. As a composer\, he contributed to the soundtrack of both Kingdom Come: Deliverance games\, writing some of the most memorable medievalesque and early renaissance pieces on the soundtrack. Currently\, he teaches game audio at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He received his Ph.D. and habilitation in human-computer interaction from the Czech Technical University (Czech Republic) and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Trento (Italy). He has published more than 50 articles in the proceedings of international conferences and academic journals. Adam is currently appointed as a principal engineer at Embody\, a Sunnyvale-based game audio software company focused on the commercial applications of the head-related transfer function. \nHosted by: Professor Christina Chung \nWhen: March 2\, 2026 from 12:30PM to 1:30PM \nLocation:  \nIN-PERSON @  SVC 3212. \nViewing room @ UCSC Main Campus\, E2-280. \nLUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED AT BOTH LOCATIONS! Faculty and students are highly encouraged to attend. \nZoom info: \nhttps://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98763397019?pwd=XUG5pnMjgFgCEOlpunV41oRjNMZiO6.1 \nMeeting ID: 987 6339 7019\nPasscode: 273556

SUMMARY:Education Innovation Workshop: Math Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to The Math Altas!\nIn this one-day workshop\, learning specialist Elizabeth Powell will be sharing her 35 years of experience as an educator in evidence-based strategies from The Math Atlas framework. We’ll talk about instructional effectiveness and learner engagement in one-on-one math settings. \nYou’ll get to evaluate the real-world implications of visual\, verbal\, and multi-sensory approaches to math instruction by reflecting on case examples and adapting them to the needs of individual learners and you’ll discover how The Math Atlas methods strengthen conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in mathematics. \nThis workshop is very welcoming to those who have struggled in math as well as those who love it! \nNote: Teachers are welcome to attend\, but we’ll be focusing on individualized instruction rather than classroom techniques. \nWelcome to our immersive Education Innovation workshop series.\nJoin master educators to explore the most current\, evidence-based best practices to keep your knowledge and skills up to date and to strengthen your ability to support every student. Each session is led by an expert in the field with real-world experience\, who will guide you through the material and help you apply it immediately to your work. This workshop is sponsored by the UCSC Silicon Valley Extension Educational Therapy certificate program. \nEnroll today.

SUMMARY:How promotions actually happen (and why hard work alone isn’t enough)
DESCRIPTION:Most professionals are told a simple formula: work hard\, deliver results\, and your career will naturally advance. Yet many find that after years of strong performance\, progress slows—responsibilities grow without recognition\, and promotions go elsewhere. \nThe issue is rarely capability\, but a misunderstanding of how advancement really works. Each career stage has different expectations: the skills that earn a first role aren’t the same ones that move someone into management or leadership. As organizations grow more complex—and AI makes execution easier to replicate—doing your job well is no longer enough. Advancement depends on how your work connects to the broader mission\, how it’s perceived\, and whether you’re already operating at the next level. \nThis session offers an inside look at why capable people plateau—and why others accelerate. \nBring your thoughts and experiences. This is a discussion-based workshop—please come ready to engage. \nThis event is part of the Dean Conversations: Pathways to professional success series. \nClaim your seat!

SUMMARY:CM Seminar - "How Technology-Mediated Food Interactions Support Family Connection and Routine Reconstruction"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Aswati Panicker \nDescription: “In this talk\, I draw on work in human-food interaction (HFI) to examine how food can serve as a rich interaction medium for connection and routine reconstruction in long-distance families. I highlight insights from three of my studies that explore this question across different technological forms. First\, I discuss how families navigate shifting meanings of “healthy eating” during life transitions\, and the tensions that arise when disclosing new goals and priorities in health-sharing or tracking tools. Second\, I show how family members expressed hesitations\, value conflicts\, and visions for cultural or playful moments when imagining embodied technology such as a social robot within their domestic spaces. Third\, through a mobile app probe for teaching food knowledge and recipes\, I uncover the subtleties of how family members seek to initiate\, learn\, guide\, or be guided through everyday food practices. Throughout\, I outline design implications and close by reflecting on how technology-mediated food interactions might extend to other contexts and routines beyond family life.” \nBio: Aswati Panicker is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, working with Prof. Christina Chung. Her research is at the intersection of HCI and CSCW\, focusing on how technologies are designed and used in social and health-related contexts. She takes a human-centered\, participatory approach and draws on theories from family studies and sociology in her work. She earned her PhD in Informatics from Indiana University Bloomington in July 2025.
