Birding Pine Flat with Two ACR Ornithologists We’ll stop at several point-count stations to bird and to learn about the Songbirds of the Central Mayacamas project on Pine Flat Road. Then we’ll walk through Pine Flat where we hope to see and hear Purple Martin, Pileated Woodpecker, California Thrasher, Mountain Quail and others. Our guides will be ...
Current challenges and future directions in control and automation.  This symposium will kick off the 1st NorCal Control Workshop, an annual event providing a forum to bring together undergrad, grad students, postdocs and faculty from various universities, as well as representatives from industry, in the Northern California region working in the ...

Determining the PSF over the Full FoV of LSST using Gaussian ProcessesAccurately modeling and interpolating the PSF across the full field of view (FoV) of LSST for a given exposure is crucial for making galaxy shape measurements that meet the requirements of cosmic shear. In current weak-lensing surveys, the PSF is estimated at each star location within a CCD chip and ...

The Best Reciprocal Resonators Make the Best Nonreciprocal SystemsCirculators are a key building block in next generation microwave systems for Simultaneous Transmit and Receive Radios (STAR) and Quantum Computing. State-of-the-art circulators have a ferro-magnet that breaks reciprocity but is hard to scale down to chip-scale dimensions for integrating with on-chip electronic components. The demand is even more urgent ...
Stochastic Modeling of Traffic DynamicsStochastic models of traffic flow are used in a variety of applications, e.g., traffic state estimation, travel time reliability, and traffic control. This talk will present techniques used to develop stochastic models. A main source of uncertainty in traffic dynamics is heterogeneity among drivers. This is captured using parametric uncertainty, ...

taste of science: Synthetic Biology and Quantum MechanicsSynthetic Biology (and pants)We are surrounded by microorganisms. Your intestines contain 100 trillion of them; three microorganisms for every human cell in your body. The oceans contain as many as a million bacteria in every milliliter. Each has evolved a variety of techniques to survive and thrive. Synthetic biologists aim ...
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to experience the beauty and rich natural history of this 535-acre preserve as dusk arrives and the animals start to appear. Our twilight hikes are on select Fridays throughout spring and fall. Participants are divided into small groups and paired with a trained Bouverie ...
