CEI Interdisciplinary Seminar: Jonothan Philips - Director of the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project; Duke University

Energy in Transition: The End of Aid and What it Means for Achieving Modern Energy Systems in Emerging Economies, The energy landscape in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is being reshaped by a set of converging disruptions—none more immediate than the rapid rollback of foreign assistance programs that have long supported basic service delivery and infrastructure development. Following two decades of major progress on energy access—albeit with serious gaps in reliability, affordability, and last-mile delivery—the road ahead is deeply uncertain, with many countries facing deep debt burdens, escalating costs, and shifting geopolitical alliances. Against this backdrop, the abrupt gutting of foreign aid has triggered a cascading reallocation of domestic resources in many countries—prioritizing short-term emergencies at the expense of longer-term energy system development. This talk will explore what all this means for the future of energy transitions in LMICs. We’ll inquire: What do meaningful, resilient,… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: NAN 181.

ME Seminar: Duane Storti, UW Mechanical Engineering

We are pleased to welcome ME Professor Duane Storti for a seminar. About the speaker: Professor Storti is co-director of the Solheim Rapid Manufacturing Lab. His research interests lie primarily in the areas of 3D printing and novel approaches to geometric design. He has significant experience working to create new materials systems for 3D printing and maintains a strong interest in new approaches to solid modeling specifically suited for compatibility with 3D medical image stacks. (The emphasis on imaging and biomechanical applications is the product of an ongoing research program with colleagues at the Seattle VA Hospital and the UW Medical School’s departments of Radiology and Orthopaedics.) Real-time interaction with models based on image stacks depends on the power of GPU-based parallel computing, so Dr. Storti’s research and instructional efforts now include extensive use of CUDA with a special emphasis on application of 3D texels.

Allen School Colloquium: Shaping AI for the Public Good via the Berkeley Lab Model

ABSTRACT: This three-part talk summarizes the underlying philosophy and best practices of the Berkeley lab model, offers a perspective on improving AI’s impact, and describes a new research funding opportunity starting this Fall. Senior computer scientists and rising stars in AI developed a balanced perspective on AI's societal impact informed by interviews with 24 experts including John Jumper, Barack Obama, Susan Rice, and Eric Schmidt (see www.ShapingAI.com). We believe we are in the early days of practical AI, and focused efforts by practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders can still increase AI's upsides and reduce its downsides. We suggest guidelines for enhancing AI development: i) Human-AI collaboration exceeds capabilities of either AI or people; ii) Focus on productivity improvements that generate more jobs; iii) Initially prioritize eliminating tedious tasks; and iv) Consider that AI impact varies by geography. Rather than simply predict long-term AI impact, we've identified research… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: Amazon Auditorium | Room G20 (CSE2).
