salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours. Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora. The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

PhD Thesis Defense – Sayef Azad Sakin

Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) Event Sequence Visualization Design Considerations and Data Management Techniques Abstract: Exploratory visual analysis of event sequences is prevalent in domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, and computing to make useful decisions that are difficult to make from individual events. However, as the data size grows, visualizing a large number of events makes decision-making harder and the visual interface increasingly less useful. Specifically, there is a tension between designing a representative visual interface of the events and managing the large volume of events for the visual interface while maintaining interactivity. Addressing only one side of the tension often results in systems that are less useful. The aim of this dissertation is to ease this tension by treating the visual design considerations and data management techniques as interdependent components rather than separate concerns. The central thesis of this dissertation is that useful event sequence visualization requires connecting visual… Campus Locations: Warnock Engineering Building - John and Marva (WEB).

A tensor field assigns a tensor - a multi-dimensional array of numbers - to each point in space. Tensor fields, such as the stress and strain tensors, and the Riemann curvature tensor, are essential to both science and engineering. The topology of tensor fields captures the core structure of data, and is useful in various disciplines, such as graphics (for manipulating shapes and textures) and neuroscience (for analyzing brain structures from diffusion MRI). Lossy data compression may distort the topology of tensor fields, thus hindering downstream analysis and visualization tasks. TFZ ensures that certain… Campus Locations: Warnock Engineering Building - John and Marva (WEB). Room Name/Number: Evans Conference Room 3760. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Understanding Relationship & Sexual Harm: Power, Community & Accountability

Understanding Relationship and Sexual Harm: Power, Community, and Accountability Oftentimes, institutions of higher education prioritize and emphasize undergraduate students when considering relationship and sexual violence. This focus omits graduate students, professional students, and post-doctoral researchers and fellows. Relationship and Sexual Violence is a significant concern in this population, even as their experiences look different than traditional college students. This workshop, presented by the McCluskey Center for Violence Prevention, seeks to fill this gap and provide relevant, discussion-based content for this often-excluded group. The programming would be delivered through a primary prevention lens, which aims to stop violence before it starts. Event Categories: Seminars. Workshops & Training. Campus Locations: Union - A.

By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Inspired by Feng Shui—an ancient Chinese superstition—this paper proposes a pseudo-theoretical framework that integrates superstition-like heuristics into visualization design. Rather than seeking empirical truth, this framework leverages culturally resonant (superstitious) narratives and symbolic metaphors as persuasive tools to encourage desirable design practices, such as clarity, accessibility, and audience-centered thinking. We articulate a set of visualization designs into a Feng Shui compass, reframing empirical design principles and guidelines within an engaing mythology. We present how visualization design… Campus Locations: Warnock Engineering Building - John and Marva (WEB). Room Name/Number: Evans Conference Room 3760. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours. Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora. The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice. In the true spirit of… Event Categories: U Arts Pass. Exhibitions. Campus Locations: Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA). Cost: Included with Museum admission. Free with UID.

This talk discusses a recently published book about how wine has transformed Tibetan land and lives. Set in the Sino-Tibetan border region renamed "Shangri-La" by the Chinese government for tourism promotion, Crafting a Tibetan Terroir considers how the deployment of the French notion of terroir works to create new forms of ethno-regional identities and village landscapes through the production of Tibetan wine as a commodity.

Distinguished SCI Seminar: J. Nathan Kutz, Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Washington

Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) Title: Shallow Recurrent Decoders for the Automated Discovery of Physical ModelsAbstract: A major challenge in the study of science and engineering systems is that of model discovery: turning data into dynamical models that are not just predictive, but provide insight into the nature of the underlying physics and dynamics that generated the data. We introduce a number of data-driven strategies for discovering nonlinear multiscale dynamical systems and their embeddings from data. We consider two canonical cases: (i) systems for which we have full measurements of the governing variables, and (ii) systems for which we have incomplete measurements. For systems with full state measurements, we show that the recent sparse identification of nonlinear dynamical systems (SINDy) method can discover governing equations with relatively little data and introduce a sampling method that allows SINDy to scale efficiently to problems with multiple time scales, noise and parametric dependencies. For systems with incomplete… Campus Locations: Widtsoe Building - John A. (JWB). Room Name/Number: JWB 335. Campus Wide Event: Yes. Thursday, October 23, 2025, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM.

Art + Cinema: The Rider

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) In partnership with the University of Utah Department of Film and Media Arts, the UMFA is excited to host a special screening of The Rider (2017), the critically acclaimed film from director Chloé Zhao. After a tragic riding accident, young cowboy Brady (Brady Jandreau), once a rising star of the rodeo circuit, is warned that his competition days are over. Back home in South Dakota, Brady finds himself questioning what remains when he can no longer do the one thing that gave his life meaning: to ride and compete. In an effort to regain control of his fate, he sets out on a deeply personal journey to rediscover his identity and redefine what it means to be a man in the heartland of America. The film features a remarkable cast of non-professional Lakota actors from the Pine Ridge Reservation playing fictionalized versions of themselves, including Jandreau—who grew up riding and training horses—as well as his father, sister, wife, and close friends. Following the screening, join us for a post-film… Event Categories: Films. Public Event. U Arts Pass. Campus Locations: Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA). Cost: Free. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

salt 17: Adama Delphine Fawundu

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours. Adama Delphine Fawundu is a New York-based artist of Mende, Krim, Bamileke, and Bubi descent. Her practice embodies ancestral memory across space and time, reconnecting places, objects, plants, animals, and spirits of the global African diaspora. The works in this exhibition were made with a process that Fawundu calls “kpoto patchwok,” a combination of the Mende word for gathering fruits and nuts for communal nourishment (kpoto) and the Krio word for piecing together textiles (patchwok). By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) This exhibition is on view September 13, 2025–June 14, 2026. Visit umfa.utah.edu for Museum hours.

By drawing together materials from Congo, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, Malta, Cuba, and the United States, Fawundu stitches together a collective history of the African diaspora that imagines a more interconnected future. Her work is displayed in conversation with objects from the UMFA’s African art collection, which were selected by the artist for their resonance with her practice.

RED 764: Research Data Management and Sharing

Data Management Hosted by: Madison Golden, Research Data Librarian Researchers world-wide have been moving towards open research, meaning all the results of research in any discipline should be shared without restrictions. Granting agencies in the U.S. have mandated the sharing of research outputs since 2013. For research to be shared it must be managed appropriately. Changing technology is impacting the way research is being conducted as is interdisciplinary and collaborative work. Managing the research appropriately starts with the writing of the grant proposal, continues throughout the research process and even after the closeout of the project with the outputs being shared. This class will cover federal and University policies surrounding data ownership, and stewardship. Understanding data management plans, secure campus storage options and how to share your research outputs will be discussed. The class will cover the basics, such documenting the research, developing file naming systems, metadata and why it is importan… Event Categories: Lectures. Workshops & Training.
