ECE 290 Seminar: “Photon Counting CT: How Counting X-Ray Photons Enables a Major Advance in Medical Imaging”
Presented by: Adam Wang, Assistant Professor of Radiology @ Stanford University Description: “Computed tomography (CT) is a mainstay of medical imaging, but its capabilities are constrained by radiation dose and the information captured by conventional x-ray detectors. Photon-counting CT (PCCT) measures individual x-ray photons and their energies, creating new opportunities for high-resolution, low-dose, and quantitative imaging. […]
CM Seminar: Professor Jim Whitehead – “Sides Taken: Generative Artists Made by Generative AI”
Welcome to the second Computational Media seminar of the fall quarter. Open to all, class enrollment is not required. Food will be provided. Please join us in-person at E2-280 or via Zoom to learn more about the works of Professor Jim Whitehead: Title: Sides Taken: Generative Artists Made by Generative AI Presenter: Dr. Jim Whitehead, Professor of […]
Statistics Seminar: Advancing Science on the Sea and Stars with Modern Statistical Techniques
Presenter: J. Xavier Prochaska, Professor, UC Santa Cruz Description: I will present two current and challenging research problems from the domains of astrophysics and oceanography which are leveraging standard Bayesian methods. After describing the datasets, scientific goals, and currently methodology, I will welcome a discussion on ways to improve, advance, and/or replace the current approaches. […]
AM Seminar: Analysis of Flagellar Gait Changes Across Fluid Viscosities
Presenter: Dr. Kelli Gutierrez, CSU Monterey Bay Description: Many microswimmers propel themselves using flagella, which are thin, threadlike filaments that beat in a periodic wavelike motion. The flagellar beat emerges from the coupled interactions between the surrounding fluid and the active and passive responses of the flagellum. Previous studies have observed the qualitative shape of […]
North Stars of Emancipation: Navigating Movements and Institutions to Change Food Systems
Dr. Antonio Roman-Alcalá has been participating in food and farming movements in California for over two decades. He’s founded urban farms, taught organic horticulture, and made documentary films about why food systems continue to be unsustainable. More recently, he’s turned towards participatory, movement-based research to develop an understanding of what “emancipation” might mean for those […]

CSE Colloquium: Relational Attention for Data-Efficient Language Modeling
Title: Relational Attention for Data-Efficient Language Modeling Presenter: Adrian Brasoveanu, UCSC Linguistics (Joint work with Ece Takmaz and Jakub Dotlačil) Abstract: We present Relational BabyLM, a system submission to the BabyLM 2026 challenge that combines two cognitively motivated inductive biases in a single decoder-only Transformer. Architecturally, we replace standard self-attention with a Dual Attention Transformer (DAT), […]
