SUMMARY:Technology Future Shock: Society\, Policy and Innovation in the Digital World\, Feb 22
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Population growth and shifting demographics\, rising global energy demand and climate change\, personalized medicine and exploding health care costs\, global communications and digital empowerment\, workforce shifts and global economics – these and other societal factors are reshaping our world. These trends are both influenced and driven by the rise of inexpensive and now ubiquitous hardware and software\, massive social networks and wireless communications\, the consumerization of information technology\, ubiquitous sensors and explosive data growth (“big data”)\, and new models of human-computer interaction. \n                The rapid rate of technical change is challenging the ability of our social structures to adapt in new and novel\, and the resulting “future shock” has profound implications for all of us. This talk will examine both the technical trends and their policy implications\, spanning Internet governance\, telecommunications and global spectrum policy\, privacy and security\, research and innovation\, and environmental sustainability.

SUMMARY:Enabling Technologies For Residential Demand Response\, Feb 24
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Demand Response (DR) and Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing refer to programs that offer incentives for consumers who curtail their energy use during times of peak demand. In this talk\, we will present an integrated solution to predict and re-engineer the aggregate energy demand (e.g.\, peak load reduction and shift) from a group of residential consumers in a locality at a given day/time. We will explore expanding demand response to all residential power loads by dynamically scheduling and controlling appliances in the dwelling unit in a closed loop time-of-use pricing program. A decision-support system will be presented to forecast power demand in the home and enable the user to save energy by recommending optimal run time schedules for appliances\, given user constraints and time-of-use pricing from the utility company. A Master Home Energy controller developed to execute the appliance run time schedules will be introduced. Smart appliance nodes developed to take advantage of time-of-use pricing will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Towards a scientific phenomenology of the past\, Mar 1
DESCRIPTION:“The use of phenomenology in archaeology has been one of the most provocative theoretical developments in the discipline in recent years “ Bruck 2005 \n                Experiential (“sensuous”) elements are significant to understanding human life generally and\, specifically\, the past. According to some the approach explicitly rejects “science “ as a way of knowing and there has been considerable discussion (much heat and some light) on the role and value of a phenomenological perspective in the field. \n                Many of the intellectual structures that have commonly been used to both describe and “explain” the past(s) are\, however\, based on processes of extensive abstraction and are thus essentially reductive. Yet much of human behavior must be understood as “expressive” or “artistic” or (at least) built on direct experience – the “opposite” of reductive thinking. In fact\, a robust understanding of the world must be both abstracted and contextualized\, humans are both “artistic” and “scientific.” The “digital turn” in the humanities is bringing together these areas and major research efforts in computer science in data acquisition\, immersion\, presence and visualization technologies are providing tools for bridging “reductive” and “expressive” ways of understanding the past. This talk will look at these tools and trends and how they are and/or will influence our understanding(s) of the past. Specific attention will be given to the role of the “scholarly apparatus” in this process\, to the need for new ways of education and the value of a representational narrative format to connect scholarship to broader publics and (more importantly) to descendant communities.

SUMMARY:Technology-enabled Programs for Improving the Management of Chronic Care for Older Adults\, Mar 7
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                The capacity of the U.S. health care system is rapidly being tested by the demands of a growing aging and disabled population. The challenges posed by the shear increase in population aging\, combined with the disproportionate level of chronic illness among older adults\, projected shortages in the long-term care work force\, pressures on family caregivers\, and rapid increases in the costs of health care\, require significant changes in the way health providers address the needs of older adults. Technology offers an important means for addressing these challenges\, and ultimately improving the well-being of older adults on both an individual and a systems level. \n                We are currently witnessing an unprecedented change in the way technology is reframing how health care will be delivered to our aging population; how older adults\, family caregivers\, and service providers communicate; how the long term care work force is trained; and how older adults obtain access to care and services. Technology has become a major contributor to improving the quality of aging services and care delivery\, resulting in improved quality of life and independence of older adults. \n                The Center for Technology and Aging promotes the adoption and diffusion of proven technologies that support health care providers’ ability to better manage the delivery of chronic care. Programs supported by the Center are viewed through the lens of better care\, better health\, and better costs. This session discusses the results of several initiatives that apply technology-enabled solutions for medication monitoring and adherence\, remote patient monitoring\, care transition strategies\, and care protocols that use mobile health\, ultimately resulting in improved health outcomes and independence for older adults.

SUMMARY:Anthropological Insights on Poverty in Developing Economies\, Mar 8
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Luncheon Panel Discussion featuring Gillian Tett\, US Managing Editor of The Financial Times\, along with Laura Tyson\, Professor of Economics\, Aihwa Ong\, Professor of Anthropology\, and Clare Talwalker\, Vice Chair\, Global Poverty and Practice Minor\, UC Berkeley. \n                In an era of growing BRIC economies\, alarming rates of poverty persist in much of the developing world. Given this human paradox\, actually deepened by globalization\, we cannot be soothed by formulaic answers proposed for “The End of Poverty.” Beyond abstract statements and statistics\, anthropological insights and findings are crucial for grasping how the interactions between market and culture\, and beliefs and action\, crystallize conditions for creating wealth and poverty on the ground. Our panel will explore how Anthropology is in conversation with Economics\, Policy Studies\, and Regional Studies on concerns of poverty and development. \n                Gillian Tett received a PhD in social anthropology from Cambridge University and currently serves as managing editor of the Financial Times. Her writing\, which includes Fool’s Gold: How Unrestrained Greed Corrupted a Dream\, Shattered Global Markets and Unleashed a Catastrophe\, reflects the critical role of anthropology in current economic debates and policy development.

SUMMARY:Carbon Cycle 2.0 Special Event – LIGTT: LBNL Institute for Globally Transformative Technologies\, Mar 8
DESCRIPTION:Global human development faces a fundamental challenge: \n                many countries seem permanently caught in a poverty trap\, \n                while others build their economies on a path of certain \n                ecological unsustainability. This dichotomy poses a critical \n                challenge: can developing countries climb out of poverty \n                while preserving their ecological health? \n                We are excited to announce the creation of the Lawrence \n                Berkeley National Laboratory Institute for Globally \n                Transformative Technologies (LIGTT\, pronounced “Light”). \n                The Institute has an ambitious mandate to foster the \n                discovery\, development and deployment of a new generation \n                of technologies that advance breakthrough\, relevant and \n                sustainable methods of fighting global poverty and related \n                social ills. Another important mission is to foster a new \n                generation of research[ers] powered with LBNL’s scientific \n                skills and cultural intelligence to focus on technologies for \n                the global poor. \n                In this presentation we will share the vision\, framework and \n                goals of LIGTT.

SUMMARY:Using Wireless Technology to Evaluate Building Performance\, Mar 9
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1007 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                In the quest to reduce energy while preserving comfort in the building sector\, we need tools that enable efficient evaluation and benchmarking of energy\, water and indoor environmental performance. This offers a great challenge since today’s buildings are complex\, they are rarely operated optimally\, and recently adopted evaluation parameters are very comprehensive. Wireless sensing is an enabling technology for creating an advanced generation cart that addresses these challenges. In this presentation\, we will focus on the design and development of a mobile toolkit that uses wireless sensing to facilitate building performance evaluations. We will describe the purpose\, measurement methods\, and system design of the toolkit.

SUMMARY:Intro to Species distribution modeling\, Mar 9
DESCRIPTION:One of the fastest developing and increasingly used tool for conservation and biogeographic research\, this workshop introduces species distribution modeling. We will introduce the concepts and the process of combining species location (x\,y) data with environmental data (climate\, landcover\, etc.) to predict where a particular species may occur. It is suitable for participants with little to no experience with species modeling. We will step through hands-on exercises using the latest tools and methods\, and supply information for participants to continue their exploration of these methods. A great way to discover what this methodology is all about. \n                Agenda: \n                Presentation \n                Overview of species distribution modeling and theory \n                Data types and sources \n                Modeling algorithms \n                Interactive \n                Using Desktop tools and applications to build a species distribution model(including how to acquire data\, how to format\, how to implement\, and how to visualize) \n                View details and register at http://gif.berkeley.edu/support/workshops.html

SUMMARY:Semiconductor Nanowires for Energy Applications\, Mar 9
DESCRIPTION:Semiconductor nanowires are quasi-one-dimensional single-crystals that have emerged as promising materials for the development of photonic and electronic devices with enhanced performance. Nanowires offer solutions to some of the current challenges in science and engineering\, but realization of their full potential will be ultimately dictated by the ability to control their structure\, composition\, and size with high accuracy. \n                For example\, spatial variation of the composition forms the basis of many functional devices\, including light emitting devices\, high electron mobility transistors\, and multijunction solar cells. Furthermore\, diameter modulations along the nanowire axis could be used to enhance device performance\, including improved light trapping\, thermoelectric conversion\, and field emission. \n                Simultaneous control over both composition and morphology (“nanowires on demand”) would further expand the realm of possible nanowire architectures\, but achieving this goal has so far been challenging or elusive. \n                In this talk\, I will discuss our recent results on the controlled growth\, doping\, and applications of III-V nanowires\, as well as advanced electron microscopy techniques for direct correlation of structural and physical properties with high spatial resolution. \n                We have developed a simple\, yet powerful\, approach to modulate both the diameter and composition of individual III-V nitride nanowires by adjusting in-situ the nanowire seed particle composition and volume. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms controlling structural evolution\, we demonstrated the synthesis of axial InN/InGaN nanowire heterojunctions\, compositionally tunable AlGaAs nanowires\, GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires\, and their controlled doping. \n                We have demonstrated that the cathodoluminescence (CL) technique\, coupled with scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)\, effectively bypasses the resolution limit of conventional far-field photoluminescence spectroscopy and allows direct structure-property correlation on the nanoscale.

SUMMARY:Printed Electronic Systems: the Confluence of Printing and Semiconductors\, Mar 14
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                In recent years\, there has been significant interest in the applications of printed electronics for the realization of flexible displays\, fully-printed RFID tags and embedded sensors. Printing of active circuitry is expected to enable a dramatic reduction in the overall cost of these systems\, allowing for integration of electronic barcodes and product quality detection systems into consumer goods\, as well as ushering in an era of low cost flexible displays and content delivery appliances. Printing techniques that have been considered range from high-speed commercial gravure printing through ultra-scaled inkjet printing. While many of the printing techniques under consideration have evolved from techniques already widely deployed in graphic arts applications\, the requirements for printed electronics are in many ways dramatically different from those that exist for conventional graphic arts. \n                In this talk\, I will review the tremendous progress that has occurred in printed electronics over the last decade\, and will discuss the challenges that remain. I will discuss the challenges associated with utilizing printing to realize printed semiconductor-based circuits. Additionally\, I will overview the state of the art in printed electronic materials. I will review our work on developing materials\, processes\, devices\, and circuit architectures for all-printed electronic systems including RFID tags\, displays\, and sensing systems.

SUMMARY:Real-time Field Monitoring of Levees within Comprehensive Health Assessment Framework\, Mar 14
DESCRIPTION:Assessing the health of and maintaining civil infrastructure has been an increased concern worldwide in the wake of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the summer 2007 flood events in the United Kingdom. The variability of properties within geotechnical systems makes predictions of soil behavior extremely difficult\, especially when soil models are not calibrated with field-measured performance. Accordingly\, a need has arisen for a system capable of in situ\, real-time monitoring of critical levees\, embankments\, and other earthen structures. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)-based in-place inclinometer systems\, such as Measurand’s ShapeAccelArray or SAA\, have been developed in response to this need. This system is now being further developed to include digitally integrated pore pressure measurement in the form of vibrating wire piezometers equipped with microprocessors (called SAAPs). The SAAPs are able to convert vibrating wire data to digital data downhole and easily integrate into the SAA system. In situ testing was conducted in a levee in England subjected to significant tidal loading (up to six meters of fluctuation during spring tides) through collaboration with the European Union’s UrbanFlood project. In addition to the SAAs and SAAPs installed in three sections of the levee\, the site was also instrumented with other sensors from Alert Solutions and TenCate\, providing values for comparison. The likelihood of this levee to experience deformation and the density of instrumentation installed in the bank made this the ideal location to test the new SAAP system. The additional insight into subsurface behavior provided by the SAAPs is a component of a multi-scale health assessment framework for effective management of flood-control infrastructure. Preliminary testing indicates the suitability of this multi-scale framework and it will be further implemented in New Orleans\, LA in 2012.

SUMMARY:Special EECS Seminar\, Mar 14
DESCRIPTION:The California state legislature has set aggressive Green House Gas emissions reduction goals of 60% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Achieving these goals requires combining strategies that significantly rethink how we plan and operate our power networks. In this talk I address how to rethink the dispatch of conventional generation\, how to design and operate demand shaping strategies and the challenges to manage autonomous distribution system clusters in the presence of significant penetration of renewable generation. I present Risk Limiting Dispatch that significantly reduces integration cost of wind power compared to current operation procedures\, without requiring ample redesign of markets. I then discuss demand shaping program targeting opportunities based on smart meter and appliance load data. I conclude the talk introducing two measurement and automation platforms for distribution side cluster management based on integrated power sensing. \n                Ram Rajagopal is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Achieving UC Merced's Triple Zero Commitment: Zero Net Energy\, Zero Landfill Waste\, and Zero Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2020\, Mar 16
DESCRIPTION:The complete schedule for the semester is online at \n                . All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1065 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Bio: \n                John Elliott is Director\, Energy and Sustainability in Facilities Management at UC Merced. As co-chair of the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability\, he is also responsible for shaping and implementing the campus sustainability strategy\, which includes a “Triple-Zero” commitment to zero net energy\, zero landfill waste\, and climate neutrality by 2020. John is involved in new construction\, operations\, and planning\, as well as engaged in faculty teaching and research to create a sustainability “living laboratory.” John has previous experience in energy efficiency and renewable energy consulting\, as well as energy software. John received a BS in civil and environmental engineering from Stanford University and a masters degree from the Energy and Resources Program at UC Berkeley. \n                Abstract \n                John will provide an introduction to the new University of California campus at Merced and its sustainability commitments. John will present several approaches that the campus is pursuing to achieve its Triple Zero Commitment to zero net energy\, zero landfill waste\, and climate neutrality by 2020. From a technical perspective\, the campus zero net energy strategy relies primarily on energy efficiency\, solar energy\, and plasma gasification\, along with various smart grid strategies. Zero waste efforts currently emphasize composting and control of purchasing to simplify recycling efforts. Campus efforts are only beginning to address climate neutrality beyond initial attainment of zero net energy. From a methodological point of view\, the campus approach generally involves increasing efforts to leverage sustainability goals in support the core research and teaching mission of the university.

SUMMARY:Panel on Information Access and Freedom in the Digital Age\, Mar 20
DESCRIPTION:Decentralized\, open\, interconnected\, layered — the unique characteristics of the Internet challenge the traditional tools of state governance and raise major policy questions. The Internet bridges political boundaries to increase information access and interaction among globally distributed individuals. That can increase freedom of expression and enable global association\, but it simultaneously poses challenges to governments trying to enforce domestic policies and laws. The challenges are compounded by the complex interactions required for Internet governance itself — among private-sector firms like Google and Twitter\, organizations like the World Wide Web Consortium\, international bodies\, and national governments. How can this communication ecosystem be streamlined and made transparent and responsive to public needs? How do we ensure that new technologies become media for the protection of human rights and the encouragement of free public expression? And what role must each of the stakeholders play? \n                \, Director-General of UNESCO \n                is the Director-General of UNESCO\, the United Nations Educational\, Scientific\, and Cultural Organization. She has previously served as a member of the Bulgarian Parliament for two terms\, minister and deputy minister of foreign affairs in the Bulgarian cabinet\, the Bulgarian ambassador to France and to Monaco\, and the permanent delegate of Bulgaria to UNESCO.

SUMMARY:Four Mobile Machines: Combining Information Design with Persuasion Design to Change Behavior\, Mar 21
DESCRIPTION:All talks may be viewed on our \n                Webviewing at UC Davis: 1003 Kemper Hall \n                Webviewing at UC Merced: SE1 100 \n                Webviewing at UC Santa Cruz: SOE E2 Building\, Room 506 \n                Abstract: \n                Mr. Marcus presents four projects that are conceptual designs for new kinds of mobile applications (smartphone and tablet with associated Web portals) that combine the theories of information design and persuasion design to change people’s behavior. The Green Machine persuades home consumers to save energy. The Health Machine persuades people to change nutrition and exercise habits to avoid obesity and diabetes. The Money Machine persuades baby boomers to improve wealth management so they spend and save appropriately. The Story Machine persuades family members to share more inter-generational stories among families that are geographically distributed\, sometimes across multiple time zones and different countries and cultures. The Machines have been published worldwide since 2009. In 2011\, Green\, Health\, and Money Machines won awards in an international competition sponsored by the International Institute for Information Design\, Vienna. \n                Biography: \n                Aaron Marcus is the founder/President of Aaron Marcus and Associates\, Inc.

She has worked in the field of carbon capture and storage for over 10 years\, both as a researcher and as a technical consultant\, in industry as well as in government. She has extensive experience at the federal and state level in providing technical consultation for energy policymakers\, including as a team member in developing the Energy-Water Report to Congress and Energy-Water Roadmap\, in leading the Assembly Bill 1925 effort at the Energy Commission to report to the California Legislature on recommendations as to how to facilitate commercial-scale CCS adoption in the state\, and as a member of the Technical Advisory Committee to the California CCS Review Panel. She is the author or coauthor of over 100 published technical papers and a college textbook on oceanography. She received a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis\, a MS from the Rosensteil School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences in Miami\, and a B.S. from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. \n                Overview: \n                Carbon Capture\, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a mechanism that captures CO2 from stationary sources\, such as power plants and refineries\, which account for about half of California’s CO2 emissions. The captured CO2 is then stored underground where it will not become a greenhouse gas contributor. Other uses for CO2 are being researched\, but only enhanced oil recovery has been demonstrated at commercial scales. CCUS is being actively pursued in Europe\, Asia\, the Middle East and Australasia. The USA began CCUS activities in 2003 through the Department of Energy’s Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership program: these seven partnerships cover different areas of the country reflecting the geologic\, geographic and economic variations. The West Coast partnership\, WESTCARB\, stretches from Alaska to Arizona\, including Hawaii and California. California has stringent emission standards to limit its greenhouse gas contribution\, which by 2050 should be a fraction of 1990 levels\, which gives a strong incentive to encourage industrial emitters to sequester their CO2 emissions. \n                WESTCARB\, like other partnerships\, was directed to provide an analysis of \n                CO2 point sources and their position relative to potential ‘sinks’\, or geological basins that would have the capacity to store this gas indefinitely. WESTCARB was to undertake small scale pilot injection tests to validate the technology\, then large volume injection tests to monitor the behaviour of CO2 underground. The western region has unique attributes not found in other partnership regions that has enriched our understanding of CCUS. \n                CCUS is a new endeavour in California in which the current regulatory\, permitting and legal frameworks may require reassessment\, for which WESTCARB is informing policy and regulatory deliberations. WESTCARB is keenly aware of the need to reach out and demonstrate technically the safe operation and stewardship of sequestration projects across the region. \n                In order for California to meet its electricity generation needs that do not compromise its greenhouse gas emission goals\, CCUS will be a vital tool. \n                Commercially viable demonstration projects are needed for California energy future. Renewable power generation will be insufficient in the short to medium term.

WESTCARB is keenly aware of the need to reach out and demonstrate technically the safe operation and stewardship of sequestration projects across the region. \n                In order for California to meet its electricity generation needs that do not compromise its greenhouse gas emission goals\, CCUS will be a vital tool. \n                Commercially viable demonstration projects are needed for California energy future. Renewable power generation will be insufficient in the short to medium term.

SUMMARY:Emily May\, founder of Hollaback!\, Apr 5
DESCRIPTION:Hollaback! is a movement dedicated to ending street harassment using mobile technology. Street harassment is one of the most pervasive forms of gender-based violence and one of the least legislated against. Emily May will talk about this movement and how you have the power to end street harassment in your community! \n                Emily May\, co-founder and Executive Director -named one of twelve women to watch in 2012 by the Daily Muse\, Emily is an international leader in the anti-street-harassment movement. In 2005\, at the age of 24\, she co-founded Hollaback! (iHollaback.org) in New York City\, and in 2010 she became the first full-time executive director. Hollaback!’s mission is to give women and LGBTQ folks an empowered response to street harassment\, and ultimately\, to end it. \n                Emily brings a fresh perspective to social action in the digital age. She argues that the internet has provided new opportunities to tackle discrimination\, by transforming discrimination from a lonely experience into a piece of a larger\, public movement. Her project Hollaback! gives women\, girls\, and LGBTQ individuals an empowered\, real-time response to street harassment that will build public awareness on why street harassment matters\, and how it hurts. Emily\, who hold a Master’s Degree from the London School of Economics in Social Policy\, argues that a crowd-sourced movement is the key to changing policy and minds\, and ultimately\, creating a world where everyone has the right to feel safe and confident. \n                Prior to running Hollaback!\, Emily worked in the anti-poverty world as a case manager\, political action coordinator\, director of development\, and most recently\, a one-woman research and development team. She has also worked on four political campaigns.
