PhD Thesis Defense - Xiwen Li

Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) Surveillance Style Audio-Visual Roadside Perception for Idling Vehicle Detection, Abstract: Idling vehicles, defined as stationary vehicles with running engines, contribute to lo- calized air pollution, unnecessary fuel consumption, and greenhouse-gas emissions. Auto- matically detecting idling vehicles in outdoor environments is challenging because visual motion cannot distinguish idling from engine-off vehicles, while vehicle sounds are often weak, spatially mixed, and affected by distance, sensor placement, and environmental noise. This dissertation investigates idling vehicle detection (IVD) using a roadside audio-visual sensing platform consisting of a surveillance-style RGB camera and six spatially distributed microphones. Given synchronized video and multichannel audio, the goal is to localize individual vehicles and classify their operational states as moving, idling, or engine-off. First, this dissertation establishes a complete real-time IVD pipeline spanning outdoor data acquisition, annotation,… Campus Locations: Warnock Engineering Building - John and Marva (WEB).

How To ProtoSpace: 3D Design in Blender

Protospace Week 7: Sculpt, Render, Repeat This week we go deep into Blender, the free and shockingly powerful 3D software behind everything from indie animations to Hollywood VFX. It's the tool that turns the 3D printing and scanning you've seen earlier this semester into things you design from the ground up. We'll cover three ways in: digital sculpting, where you push and pull virtual clay into whatever form you can imagine; rendering, turning your models into polished images with real lighting and materials; and procedural geometry with geometry nodes, where you build shapes with logic and math instead of by hand, small tweaks, wildly different results. Blender has a reputation for being intimidating, but that's exactly why we're here to guide you in. No experience needed, just come ready to make something weird and wonderful. Equipment provided. Bring your imagination, leave with new skills. Event Categories: Workshops & Training. Campus Locations: Marriott Library - J. Willard (M LIB). Room Name/Number: ProtoSpace, Level 1. Cost: Free.

Technical Lecture: Quantifying the role of external drivers of climate change in extreme weather events

Wilkes Center Myles Allen, visiting Professor in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Department of Physics, at the University of Oxford, plans to give the following lecture: We have been studying how external drivers of climate change affect extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, floods or wildfires, for over 20 years (https://www.nature.com/articles/421891a) but this remains particularly challenging for rare and/or localised events — which also tend to be the ones that do the most damage. While we can seldom, if ever, assert “this event could not have happened without climate change” this does not mean there is nothing to be said. Conclusions must instead be based on changing probabilities. We explore a novel probabilistic approach to the event attribution problem, perturbing initial and boundary conditions of an operational ensemble forecast (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-48280-7). This starts from a forecasting system whose reliability is well documented, so we avoid using models to make stat… Thursday, October 8, 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. L. S.

Public Reception and Lecture with Oxford Climate Scientist, Myles Allen: Can We Fix Fossil Fuels?

Wilkes Center Solutions to climate change often focus on phasing out fossil fuels, replacing them with non-fossil alternatives, or even discouraging the activities that use them altogether. But this leaves out an important part of the story: in many pathways that limit global warming to well below 2°C (roughly 4°F) above pre-industrial levels, we continue to use oil and gas for decades. What changes is that instead of releasing the carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, we dispose of it permanently. There are many reasons to reduce our reliance on oil and gas, not least cost and security. But we also need to address what we will still use: we need to stop fossil fuels from causing global warming before the world stops using fossil fuels. Thursday, October 8, 2026, 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM. L. S. Skaggs Applied Science Building, Room W1222 275 S. University Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84112. For more info visit wilkescenter.utah.edu.

How To ProtoSpace: Machine Embroidery

Protospace Week 9: Stitched by Design Welcome back from fall break, we're picking things up with thread and pixels. This week introduces machine embroidery, where a digital design becomes a physical, stitched-out pattern on fabric. We'll work in Inkscape, a free vector design tool, using the Ink/Stitch extension to turn your artwork into embroidery you can wear. Then we hand it off to our embroidery machine and watch it stitch your creation into being. You'll leave understanding the full pipeline, from a shape on the screen to a finished design. It pairs naturally with the sewing skills from week five, and opens the door to customizing just about any fabric you can hoop. No design or embroidery experience needed, just bring an idea and we'll help you stitch it out. Equipment and materials provided. Let's make it stick. Event Categories: Workshops & Training.

How To ProtoSpace: Machine Embroidery

Protospace Week 9: Stitched by Design Welcome back from fall break, we're picking things up with thread and pixels. This week introduces machine embroidery, where a digital design becomes a physical, stitched-out pattern on fabric. We'll work in Inkscape, a free vector design tool, using the Ink/Stitch extension to turn your artwork into embroidery you can wear. Then we hand it off to our embroidery machine and watch it stitch your creation into being. You'll leave understanding the full pipeline, from a shape on the screen to a finished design. It pairs naturally with the sewing skills from week five, and opens the door to customizing just about any fabric you can hoop. No design or embroidery experience needed, just bring an idea and we'll help you stitch it out. Equipment and materials provided. Let's make it stick. Event Categories: Workshops & Training.

The 41st Annual Jefferson B. Fordham Debate - Presidential Power and Independent Agencies: Who Controls the Executive Branch?

“The Constitution does not authorize Congress to create independent officers or agencies that exercise executive power.” For more than a century, Congress has created independent agencies designed to operate with some independence from presidential control, including through statutory limits on the President’s power to remove their leaders. These agencies exercise substantial authority over areas such as labor, communications, securities, consumer protection, and monetary policy. But the Constitution vests executive power in the President and requires the President to ensure that federal law is faithfully executed. How much control must the President have over officials who exercise executive power? Supporters of strong presidential control argue that officials who exercise executive power must remain accountable to the President and cannot be insulated from presidential supervision. Critics argue that the Constitution allows Congress to create independent officers and agencies, and that complete presidenti… Campus Locations: Quinney College of Law - S. J. (LAW).

Frontiers of Science Lecture featuring Martin Chalfie

Biology Martin Chalfie, University Professor and former chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Full bio: https://chalfielab.biology.columbia.edu/people/martin-chalfie In 1939, the first director of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Abraham Flexner, wrote an article in Harper's Magazine titled "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." Flexner questioned whether our idea of usefulness had become too narrow for the wide-ranging, unpredictable nature of human curiosity, arguing that real discovery happens when scientists are free to explore without needing to justify usefulness in advance. Several Nobel Prizes have gone to discoveries that emerged sideways from what researchers originally set out to study. Chalfie will argue that "useless knowledge" is as necessary today as ever for improving human health and well-being, and will offer thoughts on how we can create space for the unexpected discoveries that drive future scientific breakthroughs.

salt 18 Public Opening

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) You’re invited to a free celebration at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Enjoy pozol by Zoque Mexican Chocolate, vibe to beats provided by DJ Drew, and mingle with artist Amor Muñoz! Amor Muñoz is a Mexico City-based artist who works at the intersections of technology, craft, labor, and biology. In her expansive, research-driven practice, she traces how technology is deeply embedded in our material and cultural lives. For her salt exhibition, Muñoz turns to corn (also known by the Nahuatl name elotl, or elote in Spanish). Corn is more than a food: it is a carrier of memory, a record of cultural exchange, and a living system of knowledge that has been passed across generations. The exhibition features an immersive installation called KaleidescopElote. Using enlarged resin kernels as building blocks, the central sculpture can be an observatory, a lighthouse, a seed bank, or an oracle. With an interactive digital kaleidoscope of stars and seeds inside, the work explores ancient relationships between agriculture,… Event Categories: U Arts Pass. Public Event.
