SUMMARY:UCSC Summer Academy on Artificial Intelligence for High School Students
DESCRIPTION:UCSC’s Summer Academy on Artificial Intelligence is a four-week\, in-person program for talented and motivated high school students who are interested in exploring artificial intelligence (AI) in a university setting. Hosted at the UCSC Silicon Valley Campus\, the program offers an immersive learning experience that combines foundational AI concepts with hands-on\, research-inspired work. Students learn from UCSC professors and active PhD researchers\, gaining advanced problem-solving skills\, research-oriented thinking\, and a deeper understanding of how AI is applied in cutting-edge innovations. \nApplication Deadline: April 24\, 2026

SUMMARY:Levine\, R. (CSE) - Validating GPU Memory Consistency and Safety at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become essential platforms for parallel computing\, supporting applications far beyond graphics. Central to GPU programming models is its memory consistency specification (MCS)\, which defines the semantics of concurrent shared-memory operations and interacts with other language features to determine security guarantees such as memory safety. Understanding whether implementations conform to an MCS\, and whether the MCS provides a sound abstraction of real hardware\, is essential for reasoning about GPU programs and validating implementations. \nThis thesis develops techniques and large-scale studies for validating GPU memory consistency and memory safety. First\, it introduces MC Mutants\, a mutation testing methodology that systematically evaluates GPU MCS test environments. Applied to WebGPU\, MC Mutants generates a suite of conformance tests and uncovers two implementation bugs. Next\, it presents GPUHarbor\, a browser- and Android-based framework for large-scale testing across commodity GPUs. GPUHarbor enables a study of 106 GPUs from seven vendors\, reveals two previously unknown memory consistency bugs\, and provides new insights into GPU behavior that inform subsequent architectural and security studies. Finally\, this thesis presents SafeRace\, a collection of security assessments and specification proposals for preserving WebGPU memory safety in the presence of data races. Evaluated across dozens of GPUs and 21 WebGPU compilation stacks\, SafeRace identifies vulnerabilities in multiple GPU implementations\, including one assigned a CVE\, and proposes a validated path toward stronger memory safety guarantees in WebGPU. \nEvent Host: Reese Levine\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Tyler Sorensen \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/94641390195?pwd=RWXp9aprCMqmaAo8nq7oKwqTt02zwN.1 \nPasscode: 628349

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions at the Institute of the Arts and Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Visit the IAS\, UCSC’s premier art galleries\, for our spring exhibitions. On view April 10–August 16\, 2026 are three diverse and interdisciplinary shows: Libia Posada: Everything is Going Right\, the first US solo exhibition by the Colombia-based artist and medical doctor; Gina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj\, a site-specific and immersive exploration of the Haitian kreyol conception of rasanblaj; and Ronaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\, a mixed-media exhibition emerging at the intersections of Black poetics\, performance\, and visual art. \nThe IAS Galleries are open Wednesday-Sunday\, 12 pm – 5 pm. Admission is free to the public. \nLibia Posada: Everything is Going Right\nLibia Posada’s first solo exhibition in the United States features installations\, sculptures\, and drawings meticulously constructed from surgical instruments\, gauze bandages\, crutches\, used books\, and domestic picture frames. The new and existing works in the exhibition powerfully stitch together the personal\, social\, and political disorders and afflictions that currently trouble the world\, from the wars that resonate across the globe to the violences of aging in US prisons.  \nGina Athena Ulysse: A Redwoods Rasanblaj: Origins & Disentanglements\nThe internationally-lauded work of humanities professor Gina Athena Ulysse is on view as a premier Faculty Spotlight Exhibition. The site-specific installation\, produced in community from things collected\, found\, purchased and donated\, centers on the Haitian concept of rasanblaj\, a form of assembly and collage that transcends the formal use of materials to draw together people\, spirits\, and ideas.  \nRonaldo V. Wilson: There Are No Words\, But Melodies\nCollage is both a material practice and a structural interrogation in the Faculty Spotlight Exhibition artworks by literature professor Ronaldo V. Wilson. In video\, painting\, and installation\, layers and folds conceal and reveal\, delving into the experience\, both bodily and emotive\, of living in times of violence.  \n
