Visiting Film/ Video Artists & Speakers Series Fall 2025:

Olga Tchepikova-Treon: "Allegiances of Difference in Frank Moore’s Misfit Cinema" on October 31st at 4pm in LH 6.

"Frank Moore proudly refers to himself as a misfit artist. Misfits, he insists, are essential in today’s culture. Their calling is to push back the limits of society in the interest of protecting free expression. While he acknowledges that there are many ways to be a misfit artist, Moore considers himself lucky to have been born with cerebral palsy. Being “spastic,” he claims, provides him with certain “techniques of freedom” that advance his artistic work. In this talk, I will first introduce Moore’s oeuvre alongside the broader history of disability, performance, and experimental cinema, emphasizing his recurring criticism of the merits and values that are both ascribed onto and expected from the work of disabled artists. Second, I will present Moore’s short collage film Outrageous Dream (1984) as a concrete example of what playwright, scholar, and artist Ron Whyte calls allegiances of difference, where disability experience and experimental film practices work in conjunction to explore and subvert the aesthetic and symbolic authority of normalcy, tradition, and convention that permeates dominant film cultures."

Hyuna Kwon Professor Mechanical Engineering Atomistic insights into materials chemistry: From first principles to machine learning Understanding and controlling the atomic-scale behavior of functional materials is essential for advancing awide range of emerging applications. Despite significant advances over the past few decades, predicting materials properties under real-world conditions with computational chemistry remains a major challenge.In this talk, I will discuss how machine learning (ML) can be integrated with first-principles simulations to drive materials development and optimization across multiple fronts. Using perfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS) as a case study, I will demonstrate how ML uncovers hidden structure-property relationships inmolecular systems, particularly in relation to molecular fingerprints influencing degradability andbioactivity. I will also describe how ML, combined with molecular dynamics simulations, enables efficientexploration of molecular reactivity and transport at highly heterogeneous interfaces. In particular, I will show that controlling confinement, surface chemistry, and topology of nanoscale oxides provides apromising strategy for accelerating chemical reactions, such as those relevant to hydrogen production via solar water splitting. Furthermore, I will highlight how ML can enhance materials characterization byextracting subtle structural features from spectroscopic measurements. Specifically, I will present an ML-based approach leveraging state-of-the-art diffusion models to reconstruct three-dimensional atomicstructures of disordered systems from X-ray absorption spectroscopy. I will conclude by discussing futuredirections for developing scalable computational frameworks that bridge first-principles modeling and data-driven approaches, ultimately accelerating materials discovery and experimental validation. Hyuna Kwon received her PhD in chemical and environmental engineering from the University of California at Riverside, and her BS in energy resources engineering and chemical biological engineering from Seoul National University. She was a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory before joining as an assistant professor in 2025. Her research integrates atomistic modeling (such density functional theory) and machine learning to accelerate materials discovery. She develops generative AI models and data-driven methods for spectroscopy interpretation, materials stability prediction and inverse design. She also applies ML- accelerated molecular dynamics to uncover mechanisms in complexsystems, including interfacial reactions Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025 Smart Energy Building -- SN 1001A (Fountain Room) 11:00 AM

Seussical:Book, Music, and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen FlahertyDirected by Tommy IafrateMusic Directed by Melissa YanchakChoreographer: JoEllen KuhlmanNovember 14-22, 2025

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Seussical:Book, Music, and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen FlahertyDirected by Tommy IafrateMusic Directed by Melissa YanchakChoreographer: JoEllen KuhlmanNovember 14-22, 2025

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
