Presenter: Anil Damle, Associate Professor, Cornell University Description: The column subset selection problem is a classical topic in numerical linear algebra, with renewed interest driven by applications in computational quantum chemistry, integral equations, model reduction, and model compression in machine learning. This talk surveys recent advances that clarify how structural properties of a matrix influence […]
Presenter: Yu Zhang, Associate Professor, ECE Department of UC, Santa Cruz Description: Modern cyber-physical systems present statistical learning problems that deviate significantly from standard i.i.d. supervised settings. In particular, two challenges frequently arise: (i) learning under hard structural constraints, and (ii) learning under severe distributional imbalance and rare events. In this talk, I present two […]
Most optimization problems face the challenge of computing an optimum solution requiring superpolynomial time. In particular, they are classified as NP-hard problems that have no polynomial-time algorithm to date. Instead, […]
This is the 2nd session of a 2-part Student-led Equity Talks Series titled “From Voice to Power: Students as Leaders, Knowledge Holders, and Change Agents.” Student Advisory Equipo, launched in […]
Advances in microscopy have transformed our understanding of biological systems, yet the high cost and limited accessibility of commercial imaging platforms continue to re- strict their use in many research […]
Please join us for the fourth talk in the FINS: Fisheries Insights Narratives and Stories seminar series featuring Melissa Mahoney giving her talk, “The Future of Blue: Co-Creating a Thriving Seafood Economy in Monterey Bay”.

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond passive perception toward systems that can understand, interact with, and generate the world. This dissertation studies generalist embodied world models that connect language, vision, action, […]
Join us for the Institute for Social Transformation’s annual student showcase, celebrating the incredible work of our Building Belonging Fellows! This special event highlights the achievements of undergraduate research fellows. […]
What do we know about Mythos? Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, a next-generation, general-purpose AI model with 10 trillion parameters, is the most powerful AI developed to date. It is highly capable of advanced reasoning, coding, and autonomously identifying and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities, creating significant cybersecurity risks. Join us for Chat with Praveen Krishna, chair of our AI program, […]
Research on fault-tolerance protocols for approximate Byzantine agreement (ABA) has largely focused on ensuring that distributed processes remain consistent despite fewer than 1/3 faulty processes. Yet in many real systems, […]
Presenter: Dr. Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, Bren Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology Description: N/A Bio: Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz is a Bren Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at […]
