The Department of Mathematics invites you to the 41st Lonseth Lecture on Thursday, May 28, with guest lecturer Laura P. Schaposnik. In her lecture, titled "Geometry of Hidden & Broken Symmetries," Schaposnik will break symmetry on purpose to see what drives reality.
At this year's Milne Lecture, Professor Bin Yu of UC Berkeley will introduce veridical data science: Grounded in three fundamental principles — Predictability, Computability and Stability (PCS) — veridical data science makes the uncertainties surrounding human decision-making in healthcare more explicit and assessable, aggregating reality-checked algorithms for better results.
In the inaugural Val Nereo Lecture, presented by the Dept. of Statistics, UCSB professor Annie Qu discusses the challenges associated with multi-modal datasets, proposing a a novel Representation Retrieval (R2) framework.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the world—but how did we get here, and where are we going next? Join us to hear Rachel Ward, an applied mathematician known for her work on machine learning, optimization and signal processing from the University of Texas at Austin, share a talk titled, “From bits to bots: a mathematical perspective on generative AI.” Whether you're studying STEM, already immersed in the field, curious about AI, or passionate about the future of technology, this lecture offers a compelling look at the science and mathematical principles behind the algorithms—and the opportunities ahead.
The College of Science will host its inaugural Graduate Research Showcase from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, May 16, 2025 in the Memorial Union Horizon Room.
