I apply the model to the desktop GPU market\, a duopoly between NVIDIA and AMD. I find that a dollar of R&D generates abou t $9.0 of within-market surplus net of that dollar\, with the firms captur ing $3.0 and consumers the rest. But the return to public support is far m ore modest. I simulate three stylized interventions: an R&D credit and two product rebates\, one at the cutting edge and one on the mass market. Onl y the R&D credit induces a material increase in private R&D\, but it retur ns only $0.51 of surplus per public dollar because additionality is low: m ost of its outlay reimburses research the firms would have conducted anywa y. The rebate on cutting-edge products returns only $0.23 per public dolla r and sets back the technology frontier. Subsidizing both firms\, it ignit es a price war at the top of the line\, benefiting consumers but undercutt ing the reason firms advance the frontier. The mass-market rebate sets off the same war lower down the product line but expands adoption enough that R&D survives\, returning $1.09 per public dollar. These results suggest t hat innovation policy in product-line markets is a more intricate design p roblem than in markets with simpler structure. Each instrument induces a d istinct equilibrium response in prices\, qualities\, and R&D. The static a nd dynamic components of that response can offset or reinforce each other\ , attenuating or even reversing the intended effect.

In this talk\, I will share our w ork on MonarchAttention – a novel approach to sub-quadratic attention ap proximation via Monarch matrices\, an expressive class of structured matri ces. \nBased on the variational form of softmax\, we describe an efficient optimization-based algorithm to compute an approximate projection of soft max attention onto the class of Monarch matrices with Θ(N √N d) computa tional complexity and Θ(N d) memory and IO complexity. We show with exper iments that unlike previous approaches\, MonarchAttention is both (1) tran sferable\, yielding minimal performance loss with no additional training\, even when replacing every attention layer of the transformer\, and (2) ha rdware-efficient\, utilizing the highest-throughput tensor core units on m odern GPUs. With optimized kernels\, MonarchAttention achieves substantial speed-ups in wall clock time over FlashAttention-2: 1.4× for shorter seq uences (N = 256) and 8.2× for longer sequences (N = 16K). \nWe demonstrat e the quality of MonarchAttention on diverse tasks and architectures in vi sion and language problems\, showing that it flexibly and accurately appro ximates softmax attention in a variety of contexts.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on h ow sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC work shop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and sp ace to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the begi nning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the proces s\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios re lated to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle proce ss allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexiti es with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collec tive building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can alw ays pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you a re to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register fo r another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns wit h taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact j hippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to camp us having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make co mpleting this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team.

When these equations are too complicated to solve by hand\, we use computers to find approximate solutions. A common approac h is to approximate the solution at a set of points\, known as a computati onal mesh\, spread throughout the region.\nWhile a fine mesh can be used t o provide a high-resolution approximation in the region\, using a fine mes h can be computationally expensive. Instead of using a fine mesh everywher e in the region\, adaptive mesh methods place more grid points where they are needed and fewer points where the solution changes slowly.\nIn this ta lk\, we will introduce adaptive moving mesh methods for solving nonlinear PDEs. We will explain the basic idea behind these methods and use several numerical examples to show how they can improve accuracy while reducing co mputational cost.\n\nDate: Friday\, September 18\, 2026\nTime: 1:00 p.m.\n Location: Fisher Hall 127\nRefreshments will be provided\n\nThis program/l ecture is partially funded/sponsored by the Visiting Professor Program whi ch is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Mic higan's Martin Luther King Jr-Delores Huerta-Morris Hood Jr.-Rosa Parks In itiative Initiative.\nMichigan Technological University is an Equal Opport unity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer that provides equ al opportunity for all\, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Yet e xisting research tends to conceptualize discrimination through identifiabl e incidents or interactions\, leaving less understood how workers experien ce racialized treatment that is diffuse\, cumulative\, or difficult to tra nslate into institutionally recognizable terms. In order to fill this gap\ , this research draws on 140 in-depth interviews with college-educated Bla ck professionals to investigate how workers perceive\, interpret\, and res pond to racialized treatment in professional workplaces. Findings reveal a striking uncertainty among participants regarding assessments of discrimi nation and their broader accounts of workplace life. While participants de scribed racialized comments\, differential evaluations\, heightened scruti ny\, exclusion\, disproportionate workloads\, and other forms of different ial treatment that accumulated across interactions and organizational proc esses\, they often did so without producing a singular incident they consi dered sufficiently consequential\, provable\, or reportable as discriminat ion. Notably\, 35% of these accounts came from individuals who had reporte d experiencing little or no discrimination in a pre-interview survey. I co nceptualize this diffuse organizational presence as the specter of discrim ination: the pervasive sense that race structures how one is perceived and treated at work even when its effects cannot always be located within a s ingular\, discrete discriminatory event. The specter generates racialized interpretive and vigilant labor as workers scrutinize interactions and org anizational decisions\, assess their cumulative implications\, anticipate future treatment\, and\, at times\, question whether what they experienced was racial discrimination at all. By shifting analytical attention from d iscrimination as a discrete event to racialization as an organizational pr esence that is experienced cumulatively across workplace life\, this study expands sociological understandings of how racial inequality is perceived \, navigated\, and reproduced in contemporary professional workplaces.

At the core of our investigation is the questio n of when and how individual behavior can be accurately inferred from aggr egate data\, particularly when individuals are susceptible to mistakes. Ad dressing this challenge requires bridging the gap between unobserved indiv idual choices and observed aggregate outcomes. To this end\, we first pres ent the “bounds” framework\, designed to constrain deviations from rat ional choice systematically. Then\, we establish com- prehensive results o n “decomposability\,” a key property ensuring that aggregate choice be havior accurately mirrors the underlying characteristics of individual dec ision-making within a population.

The seminar will be held at 3 p.m. Friday (September 18) in ChemSci B002.\ n\nPhillip's presentation is entitled: "From Houghton to Kathmandu: The Ti meline of New Drug Development"\n\nAbstract: Kathmandu\, Nepal\, has an ex cellent hospital system that is at the forefront of work on multidrug resi stance to antibacterial antibiotics. Hospitals there frequently see patien ts with lung and urinary tract infections caused by bacteria resistant to all available antibiotics. When new antibiotics become available\, resista nce develops rapidly—sometimes within months or at best a few years. Thi s resistance can stem from many different causes. Resistance can stem from antibiotic transport out of the cell\, mutations that reduce antibiotic b inding to its receptor\, or the acquisition\, by gene transfer\, of an enz yme that modifies the antibiotic. Beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resis tant bacteria destroy beta-lactam antibiotics. These include penicillins\, cephalosporins\, carbapenems\, and monobactams. We published the first wo rk on boronic acids that inhibit beta-lactamase enzymes in 1983. Vaborbact am and Tanibactam\, developed by others\, are examples currently in medica l use. Several different families of beta-lactamases exist\, and the boron ic acids do not inhibit them all. This talk will describe our current work on a variety of agents that can protect the activity of beta-lactams and other antibiotic families when used against Gram-positive and Gram-negativ e multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Most of the agents we have iden tified are not toxic to bacteria. For that reason\, we believe they are le ss likely to become subject to bacterial resistance.

Most current strategies rely primarily on vector biodistribution to de termine specificity. We are developing an alternative approach in which ge nome-editing activity is actively controlled after delivery.\nIn this semi nar\, I will describe a magnetically gated baculoviral (MBV) platform that combines external magnetic activation with intrinsic biological containme nt. Baculovirus\, an insect-derived virus that does not productively repli cate in mammalian cells\, provides transient CRISPR delivery and is rapidl y inactivated by complement following systemic dissemination. Magnetic nan oparticles coupled to the virus enhance local cellular entry under a magne tic field\, creating a physical ON switch together with a biological OFF s witch.\nWe applied this strategy to disrupt the immune-checkpoint gene Pdl 1 within solid tumors. Baculoviral transduction activates interferon signa ling\, chemokine production\, antigen presentation\, and immune-cell recru itment\, but also induces compensatory PD-L1 upregulation. Local Pdl1 disr uption removes this inhibitory feedback while preserving antiviral immune stimulation. In syngeneic tumor models\, MBV-mediated editing was confined to tumors without detectable editing in major organs\, remodeled dendriti c-cell and CD8⁺ T-cell states\, suppressed tumor growth\, and enhanced r esponses to CTLA-4 blockade. These studies establish a framework for combi ning physical control and biological safeguards to enable localized genome editing and cancer immunotherapy.\n\nBio\n\nSheng Tong\, Ph.D.\, is an As sociate Professor in the F.

We find a maximum subspace of k-forms in an n-variable exterior algebra that is self-annihilating but not annihilated by any 1-form. A difficult y is that \\"not annihilated by any 1-form\\" is not a closed condition in the Grassmannian.

First\, we will show how explainable deep learning techniques can be used to iden tify the flow features that are truly responsible for key turbulent proces ses in wall-bounded flows. By systematically interrogating trained neural networks\, we uncover the most influential coherent structures driving mom entum transport and drag. Our results reveal that classically studied stru ctures (while important) provide only a partial and sometimes misleading p erspective\, motivating a more data-driven and physics-aware view of turbu lence organization. Building on these insights\, we will demonstrate how d eep reinforcement learning can be used to actively control turbulent flows by targeting the dynamically relevant structures identified through expla inability. This approach achieves over 30% drag reduction in canonical wal l-bounded turbulence and extends naturally to more complex configurations\ , including turbulent wings\, highlighting the scalability of learning-bas ed control strategies. Finally\, we will introduce a foundation-model-base d framework for accelerated design\, optimization and scientific discovery . By learning compact\, interpretable latent representations of high-dimen sional flow physics\, these models (combined with agentic-AI systems) enab le rapid exploration of design spaces\, causal reasoning and closed-loop o ptimization\, bridging the gap between expensive simulations\, control and engineering decision making. Together\, these results illustrate how expl ainable and agentic AI are becoming essential for turbulence physics\, flo w control and next-generation engineering design.\n\n\nContact: Silas Alb en LAST-MODIFIED:20260917T062304Z LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148874?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medi um=ics&utm_campaign=ann-arbor-mi X-SOURCE-NAME:Sporting Event X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.umich.edu/list END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Bernstein-Sato poly nomials and log resolutions by orbifolds DTSTART:20260918T190000Z DTEND:20260918T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T062304Z UID:152057-21912774@events.umich.edu CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of sin gularities\, intimately related to the monodromy of the Milnor fiber\, the log canonical threshold\, and rational and Du Bois singularities.

Emeralds show what is possible: usi ng the largest global dataset available\, more than 1\,000 LA-ICP-MS analy ses of gem-quality emeralds\, machine learning models trained on just eigh t trace elements (Li\, V\, Cr\, Fe\, Sc\, Ga\, Rb\, Cs) determine geograph ic origin with 96.8% accuracy.

The CH phase-field model describes phase separation phenomenon in binary mixtures and has been used in various important phase-field applications s uch as tumor growth simulation and multiphase fluid flows. The DD method p roceeds by splitting the computational domain into overlapping subdomains\ , and employing the adaptive mesh method to compute the solution of the ph ase-field model on each subdomain. The implementation of the parallel comp utations is straightforward\, and this helps to reduce the computational c ost for both the adaptive mesh generation and solution of the phase-field equation. We demonstrate the performance of the DD adaptive mesh method fo r the CH phase-field model using several numerical experiments in both two and three spatial dimensions.\n\nDate: Friday\, September 18\, 2026\nTime : 4:00 p.m.\nLocation: Fisher Hall 127\n \n\nThis program/lecture is parti ally funded/sponsored by the Visiting Professor Program which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan's Martin Luther King Jr-Delores Huerta-Morris Hood Jr.-Rosa Parks Initiative Initia tive.\nMichigan Technological University is an Equal Opportunity Education al Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer that provides equal opportunity for all\, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.
