SUMMARY:Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: Sustainable\, Reliable\, and Secure AI
DESCRIPTION:The latest installment of the Colloquium Series from the Department of Physics and Astronomy is scheduled to take place on February 27 at 3:15 PM in 140 Bennett Hall. \nThe event 鈥� titled 鈥淪ustainable\, Reliable\, and Secure AI鈥� 鈥� will be presented by Ayesha Siddique\, assistant professor in the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering at the 91爆料. \nFrom the abstract: \nApproximate computing has been widely explored as a means to improve the energy efficiency of deep neural networks (DNNs) for edge AI hardware. However\, both accurate and approximate DNNs remain inherently vulnerable to faults and adversarial attacks\, and the reliability and adversarial robustness of approximate DNNs remain largely unexplored. This gap presents an opportunity to rethink how we design sustainable and dependable AI hardware. In this seminar\, I will discuss our recent advances in post-fabrication fault mitigation methods and the principled selection of hardware approximation techniques to preserve adversarial robustness under attack. I will highlight how we leverage emerging computing paradigms\, such as explainable artificial intelligence\, neural architecture search\, moving target defense\, and neuromorphic computing\, to ensure reliability\, security\, and energy efficiency. This seminar outlines a path toward AI hardware that is not only high-performing and energy-aware but also resilient against both hardware faults and security threats. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Universe Through All Senses
DESCRIPTION:The Universe Through All the Senses \nWhen asked to talk about the universe\, astronomers will describe it to you in a thousand different ways. Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System\, charming comets\, hot stars\, and ethereal nebulae\, they鈥檒l take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix\, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter\, a few black holes\, a dash of dark energy\, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles. \nHowever\, for an ordinary Earthling\, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook\, without being able to taste the individual ingredients\, let alone the finished product. That鈥檚 why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way 鈥� You will experience it with all your senses! \nDiscover what it feels like to touch the universe\, what a comet or cosmic space smells like\, and even how the Saturn鈥檚 moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like. Listen to the explosion of a supernova\, the rumbling sounds of the Sun\, and more. See the glow of auroras and vibrant nebulae. This unconventional sensory-packed show is narrated by Jack Stephens. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for 91爆料 Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12. Click here to view our聽calendar. \nTickets may be purchased聽online\, by phone at 207.581.1341\, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.

Though the report focuses on fisheries\, this presentation intends to connect this story to many topics central to Wabanaki Foodways\, whether it鈥檚 land-based conservation or clams\, they all come from the story of what happened to our food. \nAnthony Sutton\, PhD\, is Passamaquoddy from Sipayik. He is an Assistant Professor of Native American Studies and Food Systems at the 91爆料 and Faculty Fellow at the Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions. Tony鈥檚 work focuses on historical and contemporary aspects of Wabanaki foodways\, both unpacking the histories that have shaped lands\, waters\, and species central to Wabanaki foodways\, to the present by centering Wabanaki visions for the restoration of foodways and fisheries.

SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium - Colorings and Consensus on Graphs
DESCRIPTION:MAT Colloquium\nWednesday\, March 4\, 2026\nHill Auditorium\, Barrows Hall\nRefreshments at 3:00pm\, Talk 3:15-4:05pm \nSpeaker: Matt Jones\, Colby College \nAbstract: For hundreds of years\, graphs have been used by mathematicians to study the connections between things. I will begin by introducing graphs and graph colorings\, and briefly talk through a classical result from the field of graph coloring problems. After that\, I will show how graph colorings can also be used to study group behavior by introducing a new kind of graph coloring. These 鈥渓ocally-optimal鈥欌�� colorings are relevant when a group tries to reach consensus\, and I will describe an algorithm to count them. Finally\, I鈥檒l talk about how to think of consensus as a stochastic process and how to apply these ideas to real-world scenarios.
