SUMMARY:Data Visualization with Python I: Plotting Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Python is a very popular language for computational and data science\, and it has many powerful capabilities for visualizing data in the pursuit of understanding and conveying underlying patterns. The first part of this series will showcase various ways that Python can be used for creating graphics\, following which we’ll dive into some common Python libraries for data viz: Matplotlib\, Pandas\, and Seaborn. Along the way we’ll cover how these libraries fit together — Matplotlib’s underlying figure-and-axes model\, Pandas’ convenient one-line plotting for quick exploration\, and Seaborn’s higher-level interface for statistical graphics — as well as the practical details that make a figure publication-ready. We will go through several interactive exercises so that attendees can gain direct experience in using these libraries and will be prepared to learn more on their own after the workshop. Basic familiarity with Python will be useful.

SUMMARY:Docker Containerization for Reproducible Scientific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Installing and managing scientific software and its dependencies can be challenging in both local and high-performance computing environments. Container technologies such as Docker\, Podman\, and Apptainer help address these challenges by providing isolated\, portable\, and reproducible software environments. By packaging applications together with their dependencies\, containers promote consistent execution across different systems and reduce compatibility issues. \nThis workshop will introduce the fundamentals and practical applications of containerization for scientific computing\, with an emphasis on Docker-based workflows. It also provides participants with practical skills for developing reproducible and portable computational environments. Participants will learn how to write Dockerfiles for common scientific workloads\, build and configure Docker images\, and publish container images to cloud-based registries for sharing\, distribution\, and reuse.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop introduces physics-informed neural networks (PINNs)\, a machine-learning approach that can complement or provide an alternative to traditional scientific computing methods such as finite difference\, finite volume\, and finite element methods. Unlike purely data-driven approaches\, PINNs incorporate governing physical equations directly into the training process. Participants will learn the neural network fundamentals needed to develop PINNs. Through examples involving partial differential equations\, participants will see how to build PINNs both from scratch and with an established software framework.\nSome programming experience is expected. Examples will use Python\, NumPy\, PyTorch\, and JAX\, but prior experience with these specific tools is not required.

SUMMARY:XRI Design Speaker Series talk: "UX for XR" with Cornel Hillmann
DESCRIPTION:The XRI Design Subcommittee is thrilled to welcome XR designer\, producer\, and author Cornel Hillmann for a special Design Speaker series talk on UX for XR\, as he examines the latest trends shaping XR and the future of experience design. \nDiscussing the new edition of his book UX for XR\, Cornel will explore how recent advances in mixed reality and AI are transforming the XR industry\, how the design thinking process is evolving\, and what these changes mean for designers creating immersive experiences. \nAbout the Speaker:\nCornel Hillmann specializes in user experience design for immersive technologies\, with a focus that includes visual communication\, interactive media\, 3D design\, and XR. Originally from Bremen\, Germany\, Cornel has enjoyed a professional life working in a range of distinctive locations\, especially including Los Angeles and Singapore. \nCornel is the author of the newly updated second edition of his UX for XR\, a practical guide to designing for extended reality that explores mixed reality\, spatial computing\, AI-assisted design\, WebXR\, and emerging immersive technologies. Through his consulting\, writing\, and workshops\, he helps designers and organizations navigate the evolving landscape of XR and experience design.

SUMMARY:Sriram Sankararaman\, Professor of Computer Science\, Human Genetics and Computational Medicine – UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Insights into the evolutionary and genetic architecture of human complex traits from biobank-scale data” \nThe quest to understand the interplay between evolution\, genes and traits has  been revolutionized by the collection of rich phenotypic and genetic data across millions of individuals in diverse populations.  However analyses of these Biobank-scale datasets present substantial statistical and computational challenges. I will present new statistical and computational techniques that aim to provide a deeper understanding of the role of archaic admixture in human evolution and the genetic architecture of complex traits. While multiple instances of interbreeding between modern and archaic humans (Neanderthals and Denisovans) have been documented\, our understanding of the structure and functional impact of archaic introgression remains limited. I will discuss how we combine maps of introgressed archaic DNA with biobank-scale data to assess the contribution of introgressed alleles to complex traits. In the second part of my talk\, I will describe our efforts to understand the genetic architecture underlying complex traits. Our current picture of genetic architecture is largely one of additive models due\, in part\, to the computational challenges involved in fitting even the simplest models at scale. I will describe a new class of algorithms that can learn non-additive(context-dependent) models of genetic architecture while scaling to biobanks with millions of individuals. By applying these methods to data from the UK Biobank\, we obtain novel insights into the contributions of additive\, dominance\, gene-environment\, and gene-gene interaction effects to complex trait variation.
