Ida Cordelia Beam Distinguished Visiting Professor, Dr. Cristopher Moore, shows how to classify key problems in computing, data science, and statistical inference.

mily Galvin Almanza will read from her new children's book, Andromeda Diaz and the Reasonable Doubt. Described as a "twisty, propulsive mystery for kids from former public defender Emily Galvin Almanza, author of The Price of Mercy," Andromeda Diaz and the Reasonable Doubt is about "a fearless fifth grader [who] vows to help a classmate in danger of getting lost in the system."

Emily Galvin Almanza is the co-founder and executive director of Partners for Justice, a nonprofit creating a new collaborative model of public defense designed to empower defenders nationwide. Prior to founding PFJ, Emily fought for clients inside the L.A. County Public Defender’s Office, the Santa Clara County Public Defender’s Office, and the Bronx Defenders, and with the Stanford Three Strikes Project. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Time, among other publications. Her first published book, The Price of Mercy: Unfair Trials, a Violent System, and a Public Defender's Search for Justice in America, debuted in February 2026

Complex-valued tensor data arise in signal processing and neuroscience. Learn more about the method using local field potential recordings, where sparse separable factor analysis (SSFA) captures dependence across brain region, frequency, and time and supports reconstruction of missing signals

Join Life in Iowa and International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) for a comprehensive virtual Optional Practical Training (OPT) workshop to learn about eligibility, application steps, and key timelines.

Join us for a free coffee and an informal conversation about career exploration.

Northwestern University's Peter and Adrienne Barris Chair of Computer Science will speak on the use of greedy algorithms for a basic graph problem called connected dominating set, and the development of LP based algorithms for a basic scheduling problem in the context of data center scheduling.
