ECE Seminar: From Plumes to Produce: Leveraging Atmospheric Modeling and Smart Sensing for Food Safety
Presenter: Derek Hollenbeck, postdoctoral research scholar, University of California, Merced Description: Advances in drone-based environmental sensing, atmospheric modeling, and intelligent monitoring systems are creating new opportunities for addressing emerging challenges in food safety and agricultural resilience. This talk explores how methodologies originally developed for methane emission detection and quantification could be translated toward agricultural and […]
ECE 290 Seminar: AI for Enhancing Power Grid Resilience Against Extreme Weather Events
Presenter: Masood Parvania, Roger P. Webb Endowed Professor, University of Utah Description: Many communities across the world are experiencing more frequent and severe extreme weather disturbances such as wildfires, heatwaves, drought, storms, rising sea levels, and flooding, which not only pose threats to human health, and the environment but also affect the ability of […]
Seminar Series | Is the Farm a Digital Factory?: Labor, Leafy Greens, and the Limits of Automation with Summer Sullivan
Host:Madeleine Fairbairn Silicon Valley investors, entrepreneurs, and engineers are increasingly interested in agriculture as a site to disrupt and improve upon with their technologies. The nearby Salinas Valley – known as the Salad Bowl of the World – might be considered a “ground zero” for these operations of technological introduction, with some calling it the […]
Statistics Seminar: Unifying Regression-Based and Design-Based Causal Inference in Time-Series Experiments and Crossover Experiments
Presenter: Peng Ding, Associate Professor, UC Berkeley Description: I will present some recent results on unifying regression-based and design-based causal inference in time-series experiments and crossover experiments. Part I: Time-series experiments, also called switchback experiments or N-of-1 trials, play increasingly important roles in modern applications in medical and industrial areas. Under the potential outcomes framework, […]
AM Seminar: Dissecting Complex Disease Mechanisms with Causal Inference and Deep Learning
Presenter: Dr. David A. Knowles, New York Genome Center & Columbia University Description: Many human diseases have a substantial genetic component, which association studies are increasingly capable of characterizing, empowered by ever-growing sample sizes. These associations have the potential to elucidate complex disease biology and prioritize therapeutic interventions. However, it is challenging to determine the […]

May 20, 2026BME80G Seminar – Ann Mc Cartney, “The Why, What and How of Indigenous Data Sovereignty”
CSE Colloquium – Safety Alignment of LMs via Non-cooperative Games
Presenter: Arman Zharmagambetov, Meta Abstract: Ensuring the safety of language models (LMs) while maintaining their usefulness remains a critical challenge in AI alignment. Current approaches rely on sequential adversarial training: generating adversarial (harmful) prompts and fine-tuning LMs to defend against them. We introduce a different paradigm: framing safety alignment as a non-zero-sum game between an […]

BME80G Seminar – Ann Mc Cartney, “The Why, What and How of Indigenous Data Sovereignty”
Presenter: Dr. Ann Mc Cartney Location: Virtual. Please register here: https://ucsc.zoom.us/meeting/register/ciShTZsyRViYxMDjCc_cAQ#/registration Abstract: In 2007 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) that supports Indigenous Peoples’ inherent rights to self-determination and governance over Indigenous Peoples, territories and resources. This codification in an international treaty led to the […]

BME 280B Seminar: Speaker Dylan Shropshire – “How did Wolbachia become Earth’s most pervasive animal symbiont?”
Presenter: Dylan Shropshire, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University Description: Maternally transmitted Wolbachia bacteria inhabit roughly half of all arthropod species, making them likely the most common animal-associated microbe on Earth. Wolbachia alter host reproduction, persist across deep evolutionary timescales, and move into new host species in ways that we are only beginning to resolve. Wolbachia’s […]
