Seminars rotate between Mudd\, Pomona and Claremont McKenna campuses\, and start at 4 p.m.\, with snacks and convers ation starting at 3:45 p.m.\n\nMelanie Moses\, associate professor of comp uter science\, University of New Mexico\n\n"Emergence\, Cooperation\, and Diversity: The Evolution of Natural and Engineered Swarms"\n\nNatural syst ems are immensely more adaptive\, flexible\, and robust than anything buil t by humans. For example\, right now trillions of T cells are crawling thr ough your tissues\, without a blueprint of your body or centralized instru ctions\, protecting you from viruses\, nascent tumors\, and their own unco ntrolled proliferation. Uncountable numbers of ants crawl across forest ca nopies\, desert sands and perhaps your kitchen counter. Each species uses its own decentralized strategy that tailors a small repertoire of sensing\ , navigation and communication behaviors to forage effectively in its envi ronment. While spectacularly successful decentralized collective behaviors have evolved in ant colonies and immune systems\, it remains a challenge to engineer flexible and effective cooperative robotic systems that can fu nction in the real world. We emulate natural cooperative search\nbehaviors in robotic swarms that sense\, navigate and communicate to search effecti vely in previously unmapped environments. This work is the first to demons trate high-level robot swarm behaviors that can be automatically tuned to produce efficient collective foraging strategies in varied and complex env ironments. The NASA Swarmathon engages students in this research in a swar m robotics challenge designed to demonstrate diverse approaches that robot ic swarms can use to explore for resources\, search for signs of life\, an d support human settlements on other planets.

E-bikes increase mobility options\, alleviate traffic congestion\, enhance public health and reduce carbon emission. They are also the subje ct of controversy and misunderstanding as citizens and governments struggl e to identify appropriate rules and regulations to ensure safe use.  \n\ nSo what should you ride\, and how should we regulate? At this event\, spe akers Damian Kevitt\, executive director of Streets Are for Everyone\, and Ross Pringle\, instructor at Pomona College and communications director o f Claremont Streets for People\, will describe the different types of e-bi kes and how these differ from electric motorcycles. They’ll review optio ns for sensible public policy to take advantage of the e-bike revolution.\ n\nThis event is sponsored by Claremont Streets for People\, Sustainable C laremont\, and Harvey Mudd College’s Hixon Center for Climate and the En vironment\n\nThe Wayne ’73 and Julie Drinkward Recital Hall is located a t the lower level of the R.

While they excelled from the beginning in producing completions in appropriate style\, factuality and reasoning/planning abilities remain ed their Achilles heel (premature claims notwithstanding). More recently a breed of approaches dubbed “reasoning models” (LRMs). These approache s leverage two broad and largely independent ideas: (i) test-time inferenc e—which involves getting the base LLMs do more work than simply providin g the most likely completion\, including using them in generate and test a pproaches such as LLM-Modulo (that pair LLM generation with a bank of veri fiers) and (ii) post-training methods—which go beyond simple auto-regres sive training on web corpora by collecting\, filtering and training on der ivational traces (that are often anthropomorphically referred to as “cha ins of thought” and “reasoning traces”)\, and modifying the base LLM with it using supervised finetuning or reinforcement learning methods. Th eir success on benchmarks notwithstanding\, there are significant question s and misunderstandings about these methods–including whether they can p rovide correctness guarantees\, whether they do adaptive computation\, whe ther the intermediate tokens they generate can be viewed as reasoning trac es in any meaningful sense\, and whether they are costly Rube Goldberg rea soning machines that incrementally compile verifier signal into the genera tor or truly the start of a golden era of general purpose System 1+2 AI sy stems. Drawing from our ongoing work in planning\, I will present a broad perspective on these approaches and their promise and limitations.\nSpeake r\nSubbarao Kambhampati is a professor of computer science at Arizona Stat e University.

Tf orX builds on this technique by treating video as a multi-dimensional spac etime hypervolume that is scanned through arbitrary positions and orientat ions using custom software. Seeing both time and space as the subject\, "T forX" explores a fundamental shift from “the linear understanding of tim e and the perspectival view of space” (TforX).\n\nBy taking fixed video shots of everyday scenes—such as transportations\, commuters\, landscape s\, and domestic interiors—and using their method of rendering time as s patial and space as temporal\, the duo creates a transformed view of the w orld: “As time is scanned along the y-axis and space is scanned along th e x-axis\, entire durations of the videos are compressed into single frame s\, and slivers of the observed space are redistributed. Time is encounter ed not as a sequence of past\, present\, and future\, but a surface that i s visible. This flattening of time [into the field of the screen] shows th e adjacency of cause and effect and encourages the viewer to realize the i nterconnectedness of time and space” (TforX\; edited by Julia Hong).\n\n The result is a repetition of one and the same duration of a scene across a progression of space that appears both slow and sudden\, both fragmentar y and fused. Sometimes meditative and at other times brutally dizzying\, e ach work is a still-life painting of time in video: the impossibility of\, or resistance to\, the complete flattening of memory. \n\nOn view are the duo’s recent videos of trains\, people\, and stations\, as well as natu re as destination\, placing their work––the contemporary world and wha t time means in it––in dialogue with the many 19th-century paintings o f railway stations and what time has meant since then.\n\n"TforX: A Chrono scape" opens on September 6\, with a reception from 1 to 4 p.m.\, and cont inues through October 10\, 2025. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday\, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.\, with additional hours during events on evenings and we ekends.\n\nThe exhibition is curated by Arts Director Julia Hong of the Ha rvey Mudd College Department of Humanities\, Social Sciences\, and the Art s.

Thes e marine-terminating glaciers form walls of ice that extend hundreds of me ters below the ocean surface\, as well as breaking off to form large icebe rgs that drift along the fjord. The resulting ice-ocean interactions profo undly influence the local marine environment\, sustaining productive ecosy stems that are integral to local communities\, as well as controlling melt water export into the North Atlantic Ocean. Lindeman will discuss how ocea nographers use physics and chemistry to identify fingerprints of glacially -modified waters in Greenland fjords from field measurements\, and how thi s approach led to a surprising finding about glaciers’ role in the cycli ng of mercury\, a environmental toxicant.\n\nLindeman is a post-doctoral f ellow at Harvard University\, where she studies ice-ocean interactions. He r research includes observational studies of iceberg melt and ice shelf ca vity circulation in Greenland\, as well as modeling of small scale Arctic sea ice processes.

They introduced the distance matrix of a graph\, and used its eigenvalues to determine how short the addresses ca n be. We continue their investigation\, obtaining more precise spectral in formation about tree distance matrices. These results\, combined with the theory of Lorentzian polynomials\, allow us to prove some conjectural ineq ualities about graphs and matroids that are very easy to state but have ta ken decades to prove.\nSpeaker\nFederico Ardila-Mantilla is a Colombian-Am erican mathematician and musician. He obtained his PhD from MIT in 2003 an d has been a professor of mathematics at San Francisco State University si nce 2005. In his research\, Ardila-Mantilla investigates objects in algebr a\, geometry\, topology and applications by understanding their underlying combinatorial structure. His interests include polytopes\, matroids\, hyp erplane arrangements\, Lie and Coxeter combinatorics\, Hopf algebras and t ropical geometry.\n\nArdila-Mantilla loves working with and learning from students: he has advised over 50 thesis students. He founded the SFSU-Colo mbia Combinatorics Initiative\, an international research and educational collaboration that also hosts more than 200 hours of free combinatorics le ctures on YouTube. He also co-directed the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program in Berkeley\, California\, a summer resear ch program designed to increase the participation of minoritized racial gr oups in mathematics.\n\nHe is a winner of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award for research\, the Mathematical Association of America's Nati onal Haimo Award for Teaching and the American Mathematical Society's "Mat hematics Programs that Make a Difference" Award for service. He is also a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and the Colombian Academy of S cience and an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematici ans.\n\nFederico is always searching for ways to grow and foster an increa singly diverse\, equitable and welcoming community of mathematicians that empowers and serves the needs of all. His efforts are grounded on the foll owing axioms:\n\n Mathematical potential is equally present among differe nt groups\, irrespective of geographic\, demographic\, and economic bounda ries.\n Everyone can have joyful\, meaningful\, and empowering mathematic al experiences.\n Mathematics is a powerful\, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.\n Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.\n\n \ ; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hmc.edu/calendar/wp-content/uploads/ sites/39/2025/08/Ardila-MantillaFederico.jpg CATEGORIES:General Feed,TCCS Feed: Lecture LOCATION:Shanahan Center\, 320 E.

He rnandez wanted to fly in space ever since he heard that the first Hispanic -American had been chosen to travel into space. He was selected to begin t raining as a mission specialist as part of the 2004 astronaut candidate cl ass.\n\nOne of four children in a migrant farming family\, Hernandez—who didn't learn English until he was 12 years old—spent much of his childh ood traveling between Mexico and southern California\, depending on the se ason\, picking strawberries and cucumbers at farms along the route. After graduating high school in Stockton\, Hernandez enrolled at the University of the Pacific in Stockton\, where he earned a degree in electrical engine ering and was awarded a full scholarship to the graduate program at the Un iversity of California in Santa Barbara\, where he continued his engineeri ng studies. In 1987\, he accepted a full-time job with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where he had worked as a co-op in college. While at La wrence Livermore\, Hernandez worked on signal and image processing applica tions in radar imaging\, computed tomography\, and acoustic imaging.\n\nLa ter in his career\, Hernandez worked on developing quantitative x-ray film imaging analysis techniques for the x-ray laser program. Hernandez applie d these techniques in the medical physics arena and co-developed the first full-field digital mammography imaging system. This system has proven use ful for detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage than present film/scre en mammography techniques. Hernandez has won recognition awards for his wo rk on this project.

These system s don’t just change how tasks get done—they shift how people see thems elves and each other at work. Denae Ford Robinson shares insights from rec ent research on AI-powered agents. First\, she’ll discuss how these syst ems can extend our abilities and reshape the relationships we build at wor k. She'll highlight early approaches for aligning agents with our “inten ded” selves. Then\, she'll examine how lessons from our interactions wit h AI can be carried offline to strengthen in-person collaboration and deve lop new strategies for self-advocacy in the workplace. She'll reflect on t he challenges and opportunities of this emerging space and what it reveals about the “new new” future of work—and the ways AI may extend\, but also reshape\, who we are in it.\nSpeaker\nDenae Ford Robinson is a princ ipal researcher at Microsoft Research in the Inclusive Futures group and a n affiliate assistant professor in the Human Centered Design and Engineeri ng Department at the University of Washington. Her research sits at the in tersection of Human-Computer Interaction and Software Engineering\, with a focus on dismantling social and cognitive barriers in online socio-techni cal ecosystems and empowering marginalized groups in software development communities.\n\nShe is best known for her work on just-in-time mentorship\ , which enables more welcoming engagement in collaborative Q-and-A for onl ine programming communities and open-source projects. More recently\, her research investigates how knowledge workers adopt AI-powered tools\, with an emphasis on building trust\, understanding psychological impacts\, and designing strategies for well-being in AI-mediated workplaces. She is also exploring mimetic agents—AI systems that extend human behaviors and com munication patterns—and their effects on collaboration\, identity\, and knowledge work.\n\nFord Robinson earned her B.S.\, M.S.\, and PhD in compu ter science from North Carolina State University\, with a graduate minor i n cognitive science. Her work has been recognized by the National GEM Cons ortium\, National Science Foundation\, Microsoft Research and the White Ho use Office of Science and Technology Policy. She has also been honored as a BlackComputeHER Rising Star and named a Young Research Fellow by the Hei delberg Laureate Forum. Beyond her research\, she is committed to advancin g equity and mentorship in computing. She has organized mentoring and incl usion initiatives at leading ACM conferences and co-founded the Black Rese archers @ Microsoft Research group\, which she continues to co-lead. She a lso remains active in the Women Researchers at Microsoft group\, mentoring emerging scholars as they navigate their post-PhD careers.

The response of plants to these conditions is a significa nt source of uncertainty in hydrologic and water resources predictions\, c limate change forecasts\, and wildfire risk estimates\, among others. Howe ver\, characterizing plant responses to water stress is challenging becaus e of the large diversity of relevant vegetation traits (including root\, x ylem\, and stomatal properties) within species\, within ecosystems\, and a cross the globe.\n\nAlexandra Konings\, associate professor of Earth syste m science at Stanford\, will describe how remote sensing (i.e.\, satellite measurements) of vegetation water content—which naturally integrates ov er these sources of variability and provides data across the globe—may b e a useful tool for better understanding plant water stress response. Afte r describing the scientific challenges in quantifying plant-water stress\, Konings will introduce microwave remote sensing and what data it can prov ide. She will then discuss several examples of the utility of this data: i ncluding for accounting for spatial variability in ecosystem behavior and better predictions of hydrologic cycle\, and for understanding wildfire ri sk under different conditions. She'll also briefly discuss emerging fronti ers and opportunities.

These novel VOC emissions i nclude oxygenated organics from personal care products and cooking activit ies\, as well as terpenoids from both anthropogenic and biogenic sources. Such compounds are often poorly represented in air quality and climate mod els\, making it difficult to diagnose their individual effects on atmosphe ric outcomes of interest.\n\nKelvin Bates\, assistant professor of air qua lity at University of Colorado Boulder\, combines field observations\, tar geted laboratory experiments and atmospheric modeling to determine the che mistry and the impacts of these compounds. His research team uses mass spe ctrometric techniques to identify gas-phase tracers of individual emission sources in major U.S. cities. After quantifying their emissions\, they re plicate the chemistry of VOCs from individual sources in environmental cha mber experiments\, which enables them to diagnose the atmospheric fates of compounds from each source. They incorporate the chemistry elucidated by their experiments into GEOS-Chem\, a global atmospheric chemistry model\, and show that organic emissions from cooking\, personal care products and urban vegetation are all major contributors to modern U.S. urban air pollu tion. Moreover\, these sources are sufficiently strong and widespread to c hange atmospheric composition at regional to global scales\, with importan t implications for climate-chemistry feedbacks.

However\, t he rapid development of new technologies has also enabled the rapid genera tion of electronic waste. In fact\, e-waste is the largest consumer waste stream in the world with estimates of 82 million tons being generated by 2 030.\n\nWhile much of the field of computing focuses on when devices are i n use\, Jasmine Lu\, human-computer interaction researcher and PhD student at University of Chicago\, explores how to extend to interactions beyond device use to also include when devices often become e-waste. She investig ates "re-computing" electronic waste by incorporating computational method s and interaction design towards reducing\, reusing and recycling electron ic waste. She'll present an overview of recent research on:\n\n re-envisi oning e-waste recycling strategies\,\n building computational recycling t ools\, and\n empowering end-users in sustainable computing.\n\nDrawing on insights from her work\, Lu connects re-computing e-waste with computing' s broader impacts on the environment and discuss how we can build toward m ore sustainable computing futures.

Kim shows how massacre haunts contemporary space science\, unsettling na rratives of technological progress and national pride. South Korean activi sts who oppose the siting of the space program in Jeju are staging shamani c rituals to guide and care for the souls buried under the satellite opera tions center. Through the rituals\, the political memory of 4.3 massacres is transformed into a cosmological story—one that invokes the stars\, th e sun\, and the wider universe. Drawing on 18 months of fieldwork\, Kim an alyzes Korean shamanistic understanding of ghosts\, outer space\, and haun ting through the framework of “cosmological care\,” showing how these rituals both honor the dead and contest the extension of militarized scien ce into outer space.

Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne will reve al the decades-long effort to detect gravitational ripples in spacetime cr eated by colliding black holes\, exotic objects he helped bring to life in the movie Interstellar.\nKip Thorne\, Theoretical Physicist and Nobel Lau reate\n5 p.m. Community Reception &\; Book Sales - Galileo Foyer and pa tio\n6 p.m. Lecture followed by book signing - Galileo Hall\n“My Half-Ce ntury Quest\, with a Thousand Colleagues\, to Create Gravitational Wave As tronomy”\nThorne will present a series of vignettes that illuminate the birth of gravitational-wave astronomy: from seminal ideas in the 1960s\; t hrough a horrendously difficult technology development program\, political battles\, human conflicts and $1.1 billion of taxpayer money\; to the fir st observation of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitat ional-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015\; and onward to LIGO today observing several black hole collisions each week.\nBio\nThorne was born in 1940 in Logan\, Utah\, USA\, and is currently the Feynman Professor of Theoretica l Physics\, Emeritus at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). From 1967 to 2009\, he led a Caltech research group working in relativisti c astrophysics and gravitational physics\, with emphasis on relativistic s tars\, black holes\, and especially gravitational waves. Fifty-three stude nts received their PhDs under his mentorship\, and he mentored roughly 60 postdoctoral students. He co-authored the textbooks Gravitation (1973\, wi th Charles Misner and John Archibald Wheeler) and Modern Classical Physics (2017\, with Roger Blandford)\, and was sole author of Black Holes and Ti me Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy.\n\nThorne cofounded (with Rainer Weiss and Ronald Drever) the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wav e Observatory) Project. LIGO—in the hands of a younger generation of phy sicists—made the breakthrough discovery of gravitational waves arriving at Earth from the distant universe on Sept. 14\, 2015. For his contributio ns to LIGO and to gravitational wave research\, Thorne shared the 2017 Nob el Prize in Physics\, and other major awards.\n\nIn 2009 Thorne stepped do wn from his Caltech professorship to ramp up a new career at the interface between art and science. This new career has included\, among other thing s\, a recent book The Warped Side of our Universe\, consisting of Thorne ’s poetry tightly integrated with paintings by Lia Halloran\; also Chris topher Nolan’s 2014 movie Interstellar (which sprang from a Treatment Th orne co-authored\, and for which he was executive producer and science adv isor)\, and Kip’s book The Science of Interstellar. Thorne is working wi th colleagues on a detailed history of LIGO.\nThe Nelson Series\nThe Bruce J. Nelson Distinguished Speaker Series is made possible through the gener osity of the family of Bruce J. Nelson ’74. Nelson was a brilliant techn ologist and leader\, who developed the remote procedure call protocol and who\, at the time of his death\, was the chief science officer at Cisco Sy stems. The speaker series addresses global technical issues and their soci al\, economic and political challenges—a reflection of Harvey Mudd Colle ge’s vision of STEM for a Better World.

H ow do bureaucratic artifacts elicit paradoxes that persist beyond their cr eators\, subtly mediating the time horizons of long-term human-ecological security? This talk explores how spectral infrastructures of nuclear waste governance absorb sociopolitical inertias\, technocratic rubrics\, toxic material aftermaths\, budgeting logics\, and community-level public feedba ck to render fragile models of future societies\, bodies\, and ecosystems. Drawing on fieldwork among Finland’s spent nuclear fuel repository safe ty assessors\, U.S. nuclear weapons waste managers\, and billionaire-funde d Silicon Valley technoculturists\, it tracks how Promethean aesthetics of technocratic optimism and systems resilience are mobilized as implicit re assurances of long-term institutional continuity. Of special interest is h ow ghost protocols—residual program architectures of past technopolitica l compromises—linger in liminal spaces just beyond immediate perception\ , subtly constraining institutional agency by shaping the boundaries of wh at can be said\, planned\, or imagined. Studying them ethnographically rev eals how bureaucratic legacy-making collides with the uncertainties of geo physical time\, regulatory entropy\, and sociopolitical volatility to endo w planetary hazard governance with trans-temporal legitimacy.

No longe r shrouded with misnomers like “progress” or “religious conversion\, ” he calls out their true name: genocide and enslavement\, enacted with unimaginable violence by Spanish priests and soldiers in the name of spiri tual and physical possession. Sepulveda points out that while resistance\, survival and empowerment run like a thread through California Indian hist ory\, it has come with a price: whatever empowerment we gain\, we cannot w alk away as if unscathed by such a history\, but must carry it with us\, a cknowledging what has been irreparably lost and what must be reinvented. T o ignore it is to ignore colonization\, which continues to dispossess Cali fornia Indians of our sovereignty and human-land relationships.\nSpeaker\n Charles Sepulveda studies California Indian histories with a focus on the mission system’s enslavement of Native peoples and their resistance. He earned his PhD in ethnic studies at UCR and held previous appointments at Cal Poly Pomona and the University of Utah. He received the Sacred Places Institute for Indigenous Peoples’ Land Rematriation Fellowship and the F ord Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. Sepulveda’s first book\, Native Alienation: Spiritual Conquest and the Violence of California Missions\, w as published by the University of Washington Press in 2024. His article\, “Our Sacred Waters: Theorizing Kuuyam as a Decolonial Possibility\,” o ffered guests the opportunity to radically alter their relations to place. Sepulveda is a board member of the Acjachemen Tongva Land Conservancy\, t he Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy\, and Sacred Places Institute for I ndigenous Peoples.

D igital India is a flagship policy of the Government of India to foster “ economic growth combined with social inclusion.” Central to Digital Indi a is the Aadhaar card\, a biometric identification now distributed to 1.3 billion Indians\, and a real time mobile payment technology\, Unified Paym ents Interface (UPI)\, that has significantly replaced cash transactions. This technological transformation was imagined and implemented against the social backdrop of India's large informal economy. Prior scholarship has shown that technological promises to improve governance and economic oppor tunities are often not fully realized and create new sources of friction\, especially for marginalized communities. Nevertheless\, digital technolog ies have been taken up by actors in the informal economy\, such as street vendors in urban cities like New Delhi. How do street vendors rationalize breakdowns in techno-economic promises? In what ways is the introduction o f technology in modern governance systems changing the relationship of mar ginalized citizens in India to the nation-state\, and with what consequenc es for contemporary populist politics? I draw on multi-year ethnography in New Delhi on the uptake of digitization and its political discourse by st reet vendors to explore on-ground tensions in the nature of the Indian nat ion-state and how ordinary citizens relate to it through technology. This has stakes for the nature of contemporary democracy. Unlike postcolonial I ndia where a large bureaucracy was set up to facilitate the nation's growt h\, I show how digitization is morally justified and accepted by citizens through a recasting of mediating institutions like the traditional bureauc racy as a threat to the nation’s progress.

But its deployment in increasingly sophisticated and sensitive areas affecting individuals\, the groups they belong to and society as a whole raises critical concerns aro und fairness\, transparency and robustness\, among others. As the complexi ty and scale of ML systems and of the settings in which they are deployed grow\, so does the need for responsible ML methods that address these chal lenges while providing reliable performance in practice. Mixed-integer opt imization (MIO) offers a powerful framework for embedding responsible ML c onsiderations directly into the learning process while maintaining perform ance. This talk outlines some of the core principles of responsible ML\, t heir importance in applications and the practical utility of MIO for build ing ML models that align with these principles. To illustrate these ideas\ , I will present recent research on how mixed-integer optimization can be used to construct decision trees designed for responsible deployment in hi gh-stakes settings\, motivating a variety of future research directions.

Does a vaccine decrease disease rates? The answers to causal questions li ke these can inform public policy decisions and public health strategies. A broad goal of causal inference\, the field that studies causality\, is t o quantify the causal effect of a treatment (e.g. phone call or vaccine) o n an outcome (e.g. voter turnout or disease rate) to answer a causal quest ion of interest. Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) are considered the “go ld standard” for estimating causal effects because they satisfy an impor tant independence assumption about the treatment. However\, even RCTs can be subject to interference\, where the treatment of one individual can aff ect the outcome of another (e.g.\, vaccines and herd immunity). Many appro aches to addressing interference have arisen in the last decade and most b egin by modeling the interference as a network. However\, the majority of these approaches require full knowledge of the underlying network\, which is a problem in many practical settings where such information is unavaila ble. Thus\, to address this critical gap\, Cortez-Rodriguez presents an ap proach that achieves unbiased estimates of causal effects without requirin g fine-grain knowledge of the underlying interference network. Then\, she presents a way to incorporate two different types of network information t o improve performance. Cortez-Rodriguez concludes with some promising dire ctions for future work.

Over the years\, centrality has been used as a proxy of importance in settings as diverse as transportati on\, biological\, and social networks. In the last decade\, we are observi ng a move away from nodal metrics\, which assign importance to a node alon e\, and towards group metrics\, which consider collections of nodes. It is often desirable for these groups to induce specific structures or motifs\ , depending on the application or context. Chrysafis Vogiatzis will presen t an overview of the state-of-the-art and its fast evolution within the op erations research and network optimization communities. Then\, Vogiatzis w ill talk about future exciting directions\, including the limited availabi lity of stochastic metrics\, new structures and emerging applications that can take advantage of the proposed metrics. Vogiatzis will finish this pr esentation with his contributions to stochastic variants of group centrali ty with an application to protein-protein interaction networks.

The next transformation is Physical AI: syste ms that do not merely interpret the world\, but act within it. Ashutosh Sa xena will explore what it means to build foundation models for the physica l world. Unlike digital domains\, physical environments are governed by ge ometry\, dynamics\, partial observability\, and irreversible consequences. Data is expensive\, failures are costly\, and cloud dependent learning is often impractical due to privacy\, latency\, and reliability constraints\ , particularly in healthcare settings. Physical AI therefore demands model s that can perceive\, reason\, and act cohesively\, while learning efficie ntly from limited and sensitive data. I will discuss how this reshapes mod el training\, representation learning\, and loss function design\, where o bjectives must jointly encode accuracy\, safety\, temporal consistency\, a nd downstream actionability rather than static prediction performance alon e. Saxena will discuss why Physical AI represents one of the largest open opportunities in computer science and engineering. As intelligence moves f rom screens into the physical world\, it enables new classes of systems\, companies\, and careers\, with the potential to create trillions of dollar s in value across healthcare\, logistics\, manufacturing and beyond.\nSpea ker\nAshutosh Saxena\, founder and chief AI officer of TorqueAGI\, is a pi oneering force in the field of physical AI and robotics. As the founder an d chief AI officer of TorqueAGI\, he is leading the development of AI foun dation models that enable enterprise-grade robots to perform complex\, rea l-world tasks in high-stakes industries. Saxena holds a PhD in computer sc ience from Stanford University (with AI luminary Andrew Ng). Saxena became an accomplished professor at Cornell University\, where he led the "Wikip edia for Robots" project (MIT 10 technology breakthroughs). With over 20\, 000 citations and more than 100 published papers\, his foundational work o n 3D computer vision and deep learning has been recognized with numerous a wards\, including the MIT Technology Review TR35 Innovator Award\, a Sloan Fellowship and the World Technology Award. His entrepreneurial experience includes co-founding Katapult (NSDQ: KPLT)\, Brain of Things ($8 million ARR) and Caspar AI (Top 100 AI Companies by CB Insights).

Computational research holds promise to improve our a bility to make medicines – through predictions of toxicity\, generative design of molecules\, mining public research\, among many other examples. In this presentation I’ll focus on data science in the very first step o f drug discovery: identifying disease-associated genes to drug. Leveraging genome-wide data from single cells\, we use stochastic optimization and d eep neural networks to create cell atlases. These cell atlases can be used to identify novel cell types\, infer disease-associated cell state change s\, and predict the effects of gene perturbations via transfer learning. W e applied these techniques to identify anti-inflammatory genes for progres sive multiple sclerosis\, and further characterized the disease with dynam ic spatial imaging from mouse tissue sections. I’ll conclude with commen ts on data science in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry – what car eers look like\, how to train toward this field\, and the great opportunit ies for computational scientists to reimagine the paths towards innovative medicines for patients.\nSpeaker Bio\nSarah Spencer received a B.A. in bi ology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2009\, and then pursued a PhD from MIT in computational and systems biology from 2011–2017. For t he next three years\, she joined CRISPR Therapeutics\, researching gene ed iting and supporting the first clinical trials using CRISPR technology. Sh e spent a year at Alltrna\, a start-up engineering RNA drugs\, prior to jo ining Novartis in 2022. As an associate director and senior principal scie ntist at Novartis\, Sarah leads a computational research team focused on t he very earliest stages of drug discovery.

As such\, their sol utions are typically given by functions of several variables. In the moder n theory of PDEs\, solutions are viewed as belonging to vector spaces whos e elements are functions\; these spaces are typically infinite-dimensional . For instance\, if one insists on solutions having “finite energy\,” then it is often natural to assume that solutions should be elements of th e vector space of square-integrable functions. This talk will present the fundamental equations of incompressible fluids in a simplified setting tha t allows one to see its infinite-dimensional nature\, but nevertheless dem onstrate that their long-time behavior is\, in some sense\, finite-dimensi onal. We will then discuss the importance of this property in the context of turbulence and weather prediction. CATEGORIES:Faculty,Staff,Students LOCATION:Shanahan Center\, 320 E.

In this talk\, Chinmay Nirkhe will argue that this mystery can be expla ined through a computational lens. Nirkhe will introduce a perspective on quantum mechanics inspired by theoretical computer science and complexity theory\, asking questions like: How hard is it to describe a quantum state ? How hard is it for a (quantum) computer to certify properties of physica l systems like local Hamiltonians? These questions naturally lead to QMA\, the quantum analogue of NP (from complexity theory)\, where proofs themse lves are quantum states and familiar ideas like verification and efficienc y take on surprising new meanings.\n\nNirkhe will sketch recent research i deas (by him and the community) showing how quantum states can hide inform ation in ways that defeat classical reasoning\, how circuit depth and quer y complexity limit what we can learn about them\, and what differentiates quantum proofs and states from their classical counterparts. The goal of t his seminar is to invite thinking about quantum mechanics and physics from a new computational vantage point. CATEGORIES:Faculty,Staff,Students LOCATION:Shanahan Center\, 320 E.

Soil carbon and greenhouse gas emissions arise from nonlinear pr ocesses\, incomplete records\, and uncertain futures. Converting those dyn amics into decision-ready tools requires integrating computer science\, st atistics\, and domain science in ways that are rigorous\, transparent\, an d scalable.\n\nDavid LeBauer will describe his path from ecology to buildi ng climate modeling systems that support governments and startups working on carbon and greenhouse gas accounting in managed lands. He chose to buil d a career at the intersection of open-source software\, quantitative mode ling and public policy.\n\nLeBauer will introduce the computational archit ecture behind these systems in accessible terms: how biological processes are encoded in models\, how Bayesian calibration constrains parameters usi ng noisy data\, how ensemble simulations and sensitivity analysis propagat e and decompose uncertainty\, and how software design and open science pra ctices determine whether tools are interpretable\, reproducible\, transpar ent and scalable for real-world decision-making.\n\nThe broader message is that impactful climate work requires scientific depth\, disciplined softw are engineering\, and a commitment to transparency and reproducibility\, a nd that there are multiple viable paths to building such a career.\nSpeake r\nDavid LeBauer (PhD\, earth system science\, UC Irvine) is a scientist a nd consultant working at the boundary of ecology\, statistics\, and scient ific computing. He builds open\, reproducible modeling and data infrastruc tures that couple process-based ecosystem models\, field measurements\, an d Bayesian inference to make ecological predictions transparent\, scalable \, and decision-relevant. He is founder of The LeBauer Approach and Modeli ng Lead and Project Manager for California’s statewide cropland carbon m onitoring and modeling initiative. Previously\, he founded the Data Scienc e team at the University of Arizona and led model calibration and validati on at Indigo Ag in support of carbon credit protocols. He is creator and l ong-time co-lead of the open-source PEcAn ecosystem modeling platform and has led open data and cyberinfrastructure efforts supporting model–data synthesis\, forecasting\, and data-intensive agricultural research.
