SUMMARY:ORC Seminar: Scaling AI Capabilities in Mathematical Reasoning
DESCRIPTION:Theophane Weber\n\nResearch Scientist\nGoogle\n\nAbstract: TBD\
 n\nBio: Théophane Weber is a Research Scientist and Team Lead in Gemini a
 t Google DeepMind\, where he focuses on RL science\, LLM reasoning and AI-
 based scientific discovery. His research interests span sequential decisio
 n-making\, reinforcement learning\, generative models\, probabilistic infe
 rence\, inference-time scaling\, and planning. At DeepMind\, he was a key 
 contributor to the IMO and DeepThink efforts\, co-inventing the training t
 echnique behind the Gemini model that achieved a gold medal at the 2025 In
 ternational Mathematical Olympiad. He is also a member of Project Big Slee
 p\, which discovered the first real-world software vulnerability using AI 
 (late 2024)\, pre-empted an in-the-wild zero-day exploit (July 2025)\, and
  demonstrated AI’s viability for cybersecurity by finding over 20 vulner
 abilities across open-source software.\n\nPrior to DeepMind\, he was at Ly
 ric Labs (acquired by Analog Devices). He earned his PhD and MS from the M
 IT Operations Research Center (ORC)\, where he was co-advised by David Gam
 arnik and John Tsitsiklis for his PhD and Jérémie Gallien for his MS. Hi
 s doctoral research explored the intersection of statistical physics\, mac
 hine learning and computer science\, following earlier work on dynamic con
 trol of queueing systems.

SUMMARY:Infinite-Dimensional Algebra Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tudor Pădurariu (University of Bonn​​​​​​
 ​)\n\nTitle: Abelian quasi-BPS categories\n\nAbstract: \n\nI will report
  on joint work in progress with Sabin Cautis and Yukinobu Toda. The Grothe
 ndieck group of the Hall category of a quiver is isomorphic to a positive 
 half of the quantum affine algebra corresponding to the quiver. We show th
 at two structures on the Hall category are compatible: a perverse coherent
  t-structure and a filtration by window categories.\n\nIn particular\, we 
 construct t-structures on the so-called quasi-BPS categories\, which gener
 ate Hall categories. We thus obtain a refinement of the total BPS cohomolo
 gy of the quiver\, whose dimension is the value at one of the Kac polynomi
 al of the quiver\, in terms of nilpotent orbits. \n\nI will discuss exampl
 es of quasi-BPS categories for finite-type quivers\, where they may be com
 pared with categories of representations of KLR algebras\, and for the Jor
 dan quiver. As a corollary\, we prove a conjecture of Gorsky–Negut about
  generators of the category of coherent sheaves on the commuting stack.\n\
 nZoom: https://mit.zoom.us/j/91800438944. For the Passcode\, please contac
 t Pavel Etingof at etingof@math.mit.edu.\n\nNote: the seminar will run on 
 occasion throughout this Fall semester.

SUMMARY:SHOWCASE: Community Engagement & Participatory Design
DESCRIPTION:A public showcase in conjunction with the Forum on Community En
 gagement and Participatory Design in Humanitarian Innovation and Disaster 
 Response. \n\nA public showcase of posters and project displays from parti
 cipants in the Forum on Community Engagement and Participatory Design in H
 umanitarian Innovation and Disaster Response\, as well as from students\, 
 faculty\, and organizations engaged in this work. Light refreshments will 
 be served.\n\nBackground\n\nHumanitarian crises are growing in scale and f
 requency\, while at the same time\, funding and other resources for humani
 tarian aid are shrinking.\n\nHumanitarian innovation strives to help close
  that gap by designing and developing new and more effective aid products\
 , processes\, and programs. The scarcity of resources makes it increasingl
 y important to ensure that these innovations are culturally and contextual
 ly appropriate to maximize their effectiveness and efficiency.\n\nSince th
 e World Humanitarian Summit in 2016\, there has been growing emphasis on t
 he importance of increasing participation of the affected population in hu
 manitarian solutions. This moment makes finding practical pathways to do s
 o even more urgent. The convergence of several different but related disci
 plines can catalyze new ways to bring people affected by crisis into the d
 esign of innovations in humanitarian response\, disaster preparedness\, an
 d risk reduction.\n\nThe Forum and Showcase bring together actors from des
 ign\, humanitarian innovation\, urban risk reduction\, humanitarian respon
 se\, community engagement\, disaster response\, and disaster preparedness 
 to explore ways for increasing community participation in innovations in h
 umanitarian and disaster response.\n\nSponsored by MIT D-Lab\, the MIT Urb
 an Risk Lab\, Boston University's Center on Forced Displacement\, Red Soci
 al Innovation\, the Japanese Red Cross College of Nursing Disaster Managem

  space for peer supervision in general\, whether it touches on GVV framewo
 rks or not. Do you feel the freedom to offer – or\, if you are in leader
 ship\, to receive – genuine values-based feedback about how well your DL
 CI is living up to its stated mission? Are you experiencing tensions in yo
 ur attempts to live out your values in your work\, or are you interested i
 n supporting colleagues who are? \n\nWhether you're new to this group or a
 ttended last year\, you are welcome. Facilitated by Nicholas Collura\, ORS
 EL chaplain (ncollura@mit.edu).\n\nThis group will also meet on Monday\, N

SUMMARY:Online Seminar On Undergraduate Mathematics Education
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Alice Mark (Vanderbilt University)\n\nTitle: Reframing
  “buy-in” during a phased adoption of course coordination\n\nAbstract:
  One of the major sticking points for departments thinking of coordinating
  their courses is buy-in from faculty. Will coordination mean that certain
  people just don’t teach that course? Do people just have to get on boar
 d\, like it or not? Who has a say\, and how? Do some faculty just get to o
 pt out of the whole endeavor? Perhaps most importantly\, how do we remain 
 in collegial dialogue when we’ve decided to do this but don’t agree on
  all aspects of implementation? This session will not answer these questio
 ns. Rather\, it will provide the opportunity to unpack them and brainstorm
  strategies relevant to your own course coordination project.\n\nZoom link

 ffice (TLO) is sending our annual reminder on disclosure obligations for f
 ederally funded research — with this year's training dates.\n\nOur goal 
 is simple: protect MIT's rights\, meet our sponsor commitments\, and keep 
 your publishing and release timelines on schedule. Timely disclosure is a 
 shared responsibility across faculty\, postdocs\, students\, lab staff\, a
 nd administrators.\n\nFour things to keep in mind this year\n\nDisclose ea
 rly — ideally 6–8 weeks before public release. That means before manus
 cript submission\, pre-prints\, conference abstracts\, thesis defenses\, o
 r public code repositories. Sharing to the public before disclosing to the
  TLO can affect patent rights\, including forfeiture. Early disclosure let
 s us secure protection without slowing you down.Disclose all inventive out
 puts — not just patentable ones. Inventions\, software code\, algorithms
 \, tangible research property/materials\, and copyrightable works all requ
 ire institutional disclosure through the Research@MIT. Open-source release
 s may require a software disclosure\, and TLO can help with confirmation t
 hat no sponsor obligation conflicts with the release.Give us complete fund
 ing information at disclosure. Under the Bayh-Dole Act\, MIT must report e
 ach subject invention to the federal funding agency within two months of y
 our written disclosure to the TLO — and failure to report on time can me
 an MIT loses title to the government entirely. Full award numbers and spon
 sor details up front are what make accurate\, on-time reporting possible.T
 ell us about outside collaborators. External co-inventors\, visiting resea
 rchers\, subcontractors\, and foundation or industry support all affect ow
 nership. All contributors to the ideas behind a disclosure should be named
 \, even non-MIT personnel. \nFall Training\nFederal IP & Disclosures 101 (
 1 hour) - A practical walk-through of the disclosure process\, federal tim
 elines\, and sponsor compliance — built for researchers and administrato
 rs.

SUMMARY:Richard P. Stanley Seminar in Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jim Propp (UMass Lowell and Radcliffe Institute)\n\nTi
 tle: Snake graphs and q-deformed real numbers\n\nAbstract: I'll present a 
 statistical-mechanical construction of q-deformed real numbers\, inspired 
 by the q-deformed rational numbers [x]_q of Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko. Th
 e new construction admits two equivalent formulations: one in terms of ran
 dom filters in snake posets and the other in terms of random dimer covers 
 of snake graphs.\n\nI'll begin with a combinatorial approach to Stern's di
 atomic series and the Calkin–Wilf bijection via finite snake graphs\, an
 d then construct q-deformed rational numbers by introducing an activity pa
 rameter q into the model. For irrational values of x\, the construction re
 quires passing from finite to infinite snake graphs\; the main technical s
 tep is to show that the associated limiting probability measures are well 
 defined.\n\nThe resulting q-deformation satisfies [[x]]_1 = x for all x>0.
  There's evidence that\, wherever both [x]_q and [[x]]_q are defined\, [[x
 ]]_q = q [x]_q. For more details\, see arXiv:2607.14332.

SUMMARY:ORC Seminar: Points-Based Allocation with Costly and Strategic Repo
 rting
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Paulson\n\nAssistant Professor\nHarvard Business Scho
 ol\n\nAbstract: Agencies often allocate scarce resources with transparent 
 point systems in which individuals choose whether to apply and which score
 -relevant features to report. Because announced point values can influence
  these choices\, we study two behavioral responses. First\, application an
 d documentation are burdensome\, so costly features can discourage applica
 tion and reduce program access. Second\, applicants may strategically acti
 vate features absent at baseline to improve their scores. These responses 
 put opposing pressure on point values and shape both optimal feature selec
 tion and point allocation. We show that access and integrity requirements 
 can be incompatible\, and that adding correlated—even statistically redu
 ndant—features can improve design. Finally\, we address a practical hurd
 le: how to redesign high-stakes point systems with limited information. We
  propose a DRO-based approach to identify promising one-shot redesigns\, a
 nd demonstrate the approach on the existing SNAP benefit formula using pub
 lic quality control data. \n\nBio: Elisabeth develops analytical methods t
 o improve decision-making in public and social-sector operations. She stud
 ies how algorithmic systems can personalize interventions\, allocate scarc
 e resources\, and incorporate fairness considerations in ways that are use
 ful to the people and organizations that deploy them. One application sett
 ing of focus is improving access to healthy food. Another stream of work d
 evelops algorithmic decision-support tools to improve refugee resettlement
 . Elisabeth holds a PhD in Operations Research from the ORC.

SUMMARY:Online Seminar On Undergraduate Mathematics Education
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nathan Alexander (Howard University)\n\nTitle: critsta
 ts: Reimagining introductory statistics using a critical quantitative appr
 oach\n\nAbstract: I describe a modern approach to teaching introductory st
 atistics that leverages logic\, theory\, and computational methods to enga
 ge students in critical quantitative analysis. I explore how integrating o
 pen-source software tools into this curriculum enables learners to partici
 pate in an interdisciplinary process of knowledge construction: defining t
 erms and propositions and applying statistical concepts to social issues. 
 This approach can strengthen both technical proficiency and critical think
 ing. I then discuss the structure of a related package\, critstats\, which
  informs a community model and framework for developing informational data
  systems through which users can examine niche histories\, issues\, and ch
 allenges.\n\nZoom link: https://cornell.zoom.us/j/92415199317\n\nZoom Link

SUMMARY:ORC Seminar: Queues with Cues: How Visual Congestion Drives Join-or
 -Balk Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Gad Allon\n\nProfessor\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\n\nAbstract:
  Customers often cannot directly observe congestion in physical queues and
  instead rely on visual cues such as line length\, movement\, and who is w
 aiting. Using video and computer vision data from a stadium concession\, w
 e show that these cues\, rather than actual queue length alone\, drive ent
 ry decisions. We estimate models of perceived congestion and find they sig
 nificantly outperform standard approaches. When perception diverges from r
 eality\, classic results on optimal admission policies break down\, with w
 elfare differences of up to 45%. This suggests a shift in congestion manag
 ement. Shaping how queues are seen\, for example\, through speed\, structu
 re\, or segmentation\, can be more effective than pricing alone.\n\nBio: G
 ad Allon is the Jeffrey A. Keswin Professor and Professor of Operations\, 
 Information and Decisions\, and the director of the Management and Technol
 ogy Program at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his PhD in Mana
 gement Science from Columbia Business School in New York and holds a Bache
 lor and Master degree from the Israeli Institute of Technology. His resear
 ch interests include operations management in general\, and service operat
 ions and operations strategy in particular. Professor Allon has been study
 ing models of information sharing among firms and customers both in servic
 e and retail settings\, as well as competition models in the service indus
 try. His articles have appeared in leading journals\, including Management
  Science\, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management and Operations 
 Research. Professor Allon won the 2011 “Wickham Skinner Early-Career Res
 earch Award” of the Production and Operations Management Society. He is 
 the Operations Management Department Editor of Management Science and serv
 es on the editorial board of several journals. Gad is an award-winning edu
 cator\, teaching courses on scaling operations and operations strategy. He
  has also been an innovative leader in many educational technology initiat
 ives. He is the co-founder of ForClass\, a platform that enables professor
 s to drive higher student engagement and accountability in their classroom
 s. Professor Allon regularly consults firms both on service strategy and o
 perations strategy. Gad writes a weekly newsletter at: https://gadallon.su

SUMMARY:ChemE Dept. Seminar: Dissipative Self-Assembly of Colloidal Suspens
 ions in Microgravity
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eric M. Furst\, Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular
  Engineering\; University of Delaware\n\nI will describe experiments perfo
 rmed in the Microgravity Science Glovebox aboard the International Space S
 tation. Because the gravitational Péclet number scales as the fourth powe
 r of aggregate size\, even small density mismatches drive sedimentation on
  Earth once particles begin to cluster\; microgravity removes this and all
 ows direct observation of fully three-dimensional assembly. Across 96 flig
 ht test points spanning field strength\, toggle frequency\, and duty ratio
 \, we find six characteristic structural regimes: structureless suspension
 s\, an arrested gel-like network\, sheets\, ribbons\, a spiky phase\, and 
 a transient fluid-fluid state. Quantitative image analysis of domain elong
 ation\, surface texture\, and interaggregate separation yields a state dia
 gram organized by a dissipative timescale\, and a duty-ratio-weighted magn
 etostatic energy scale — axes suggested by the toggled-interaction theor
 y of Sherman and Swan\, and which also organize data from two earlier ISS 
 campaigns. I will close with reflections on three ISS campaigns spanning m
 ore than twenty years — what microgravity can access\, a few of the uniq
 ue challenges\, and what it is like to run an experiment through a crew me
 mber in orbit.
