SUMMARY:CITRIS Mobile App Challenge Info Session + Ideation Summit 2015
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Social Apps Lab at UC Berkeley create information technology solutions for many of our most pressing social\, environmental\, and health care problems. To promote innovation\, community service\, and career development among UC Berkeley students\, CITRIS\, the Social Apps Lab\, and Berkeley Center for New Media are sponsoring a semester-long competition for the best mobile apps that address identified needs in Health\, Energy\, Climate & Environment\, Civic Tech & Smart Communities or Education. \nRSVP to attend! \nThis challenge encourages teams of UC Berkeley students to develop innovative mobile applications for today’s most pressing societal needs. Through a rigorous 3-month process\, students will design\, prototype and pitch their ideas. Participants will receive coaching and guidance from CITRIS faculty and staff\, entrepreneurs\, developers\, nonprofit leaders and prospective clients. The challenge will culminate in a public Demo Day at the end of the semester where teams will give short presentations and prizes will be awarded in various categories. Teams may win up to $1\,000 in scholarship funds and preferred consideration for application to Berkeley startup incubator programs. \nStudents can participate in the challenge by either registering in late January or taking a 3-unit course\, New Media 190/290P\, taught by Dan Gillete. \nThe Info Session & Ideation Summit will help facilitate the ideation and development of project ideas\, an info session followed by a roundtable will be held to help students define potential areas of interests for their apps. Domain experts from our societal impact areas will attend to provide advice and share their experiences.

SUMMARY:Erasure Coding for Cloud Storage
DESCRIPTION:As more and more data moves to the cloud\, data replication has become prohibitively costly and there is an acute need for efficient\, fault-tolerant schemes for data storage. Coding theory offers solutions for fault-tolerant storage that are potentially far more efficient than replication. At the same time\, the cloud storage setting presents some unique challenges that traditional…

SUMMARY:Reza Abbaschian\, Trends in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Education
DESCRIPTION:Materials research over the last three decades has led to significant advances in the manufacturing of new materials with tailored and unique properties for a variety of applications. These advances have come about mostly because of a highly influential National Research Council study titled “Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) for the 1990’s: Maintaining Competitiveness in the Age of Materials\,” that defined and delineated MSE around four basic elements of synthesis and processing\, structure\, properties and performance.  In this presentation\, an overview of the recent trends in incorporating these four basic elements in MSE education will be given\, followed by an example of the MSE program at the University of California\, Riverside. The program offers interdisciplinary BS\, MS and PhD degrees in MSE. At the undergraduate level\, the program integrates with all five engineering departments in the Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE).  This new approach allows students to have meaningful interactions with engineers from other engineering disciplines who ultimately are the “end-users” of materials.  At the graduate level\, the UCR MSE program integrates with other disciplines such as Physics and Chemistry. \nSpeaker Bio: \nReza Abbaschian began his tenure as Dean of the Bourns College of Engineering and Distinguished Professor and William R. Johnson\, Jr. Professor in September 2005 at UC Riverside. Prior to his appointment at UCR Dr. Abbaschian was the Vladimir A. Grodsky Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Florida\, where he also served as Chair of the Department for 16 years. During his tenure\, the Department rose to a U.S. News & World Report top-ten ranking for both undergraduate and graduate education. \nDr. Abbaschian received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley\, M.S. in metallurgical engineering from Michigan Technological University\, and BSc in mining and metallurgy from Tehran University. He has published more than 250 scientific articles on subjects ranging from metal processing to composites\, solidification and high temperature-high pressure growth of jewelry diamonds\, which led to the formation of Gemesis Diamond Company. He holds five patents and eight patent disclosures and has authored eight books\, including the recently published fourth edition of Physical Metallurgy Principles. \nDr. Abbaschian is a past President of ASM International\, the largest materials society. His awards include the TMS Educator Award\, Structural Material Division’s Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award\, TMS Leadership Award\, ASEE Donald E. Marlowe Award\, Davis Productivity Award of the State of Florida\, and the Albert Sauveur Achievement Award which he received on October 2013 in Montreal\, Canada. The award recognized him as “outstanding scientist and researcher in solidification fundamentals and materials processing\, educator and leader in advancing the materials profession.” He has been elected a Fellow of ASM\, TMS and AAAS. \n  \nFree and open to the public\, the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series is a weekly dialogue highlighting leading voices on societal-scale research issues. Each one-hour seminar starts at 12pm PST and is hosted live in the Banatao Auditorium at Sutardja Dai Hall on the UC Berkeley campus (*unless otherwise noted). Lunch is provided at UC Berkeley for those who register in advance. \nLive webcasting of each CITRIS Research Exchange seminar is available at these CITRIS campuses and also online: \n\nCITRIS @ Davis: 1131 Kemper Hall\, College of Engineering\, UC Davis\nCITRIS @ Merced: 322-Willow\, Classroom and Office Building (COB)\, UC Merced\nCITRIS @ Santa Cruz: Room 595B\, Engineering 2 Building\, Baskin School of Engineering\, UC Santa Cruz\n\nAsk questions live via Twitter using #CITRISRE. All talks may be viewed on our YouTube channel at least a week after the event. \nThe full schedule for the CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar Series can be found on the CITRIS site.

SUMMARY:Sackler Lecture in Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:A glistening spaceship\, with seven lonely years and billions of miles behind it\, glides into orbit around a softly-hued\, ringed planet. A flying-saucer shaped machine descends through a hazy atmosphere and lands on the surface of an alien moon\, ten times farther from the Sun than the Earth. Fantastic though they seem\, these visions are not a dream. For seven years\, the Cassini spacecraft and its…
