Mentoring Research Students in Science and Engineering
- Location: OFD Lounge, Library 220
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Feeling overwhelmed by supervising research students for the first time? Are you frustrated that the advising strategies that your advisor used are not effective here at UMass Dartmouth? Would you like to learn about new strategies for mentoring your graduate research assistants? The Office of Faculty Development is running a discussion for early career science and engineering faculty starting out as research mentors. The discussion group will be led by John Buck (ECE) and Tracie Ferreira (BNG). The group will meet on the second Friday and fourth Tuesday of each month to discuss readings on research mentoring strategies and to share experiences and challenges.
Lunch will be provided. Contact Prof. John Buck (jbuck@umassd.edu, x9237) with questions or to sign up.

Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

ECE ORAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAM FOR DOCTORAL CANDIDACY by: Mohammad Hassan Ahmad
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: Fast Multipole Method for Analyzing Electromagnetic Scattering from Large Objects
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, SENG-213A
ABSTRACT:
Recent advances in computational electromagnetics has provided the means to simulate scattering from large objects and radiation from complex antenna structures. These advances offer the potential to solve extremely complex scattering and radiation problems in electromagnetics. As result of this, there is a need for efficient and versatile numerical techniques and algorithms to perform large-scale computations.
In electromagnetic scattering, many problems can be solved by using boundary-integral methods. For the past several decades, the method of moments (MoM) has been a very popular numerical technique used to solve these integral equations. Unfortunately, due to the large computer storage requirement of this method, only small to medium sized problems can be solved. This is because when the relevant integral equation is discretized using the MoM, it results in a system of dense linear equations. Solving such dense linear equations requires matrix inversions and quickly becomes prohibitively demanding as the size increases. In the past few decades fast iterative methods have been developed for expediting the solution of these linear equations. Different techniques such as the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) have been developed to expedite each iteration step. The efficiency is improved because only a few terms of the multipole expansion are needed to achieve the necessary level of accuracy. Another method used to solve electromagnetic scattering problems is the spatial frequency domain method (SFD). The basic strategy of the SFD method is to take advantage of the convolution structure of the integral equation and to use the FFT to save memory and reduce the number of arithmetic operations. SFD is also able to handle spatial derivatives by using algebraic multiplication. The mathematical structure of the SFD method also lends itself well to FMM-type implementation.
The objective of this dissertation research is to investigate the development of a technique which merges the spatial frequency technique with the fast multipole method, so as to provide significant improvements in computational speed, storage and complexity. The new algorithms will be applied to one-dimensional and two-dimensional canonical scattering and radiation problems. The new algorithms will be compared with existing techniques for speed and storage requirements. The ultimate goal of this project is to apply the new technique to rough surface scattering for determining fully polarmetric scattering signatures. These signatures will help retrieve important geophysical information from remotely sensed radar measurements.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.

Marijuana Update 2015 (Webinar)
- Location: MacLean Campus Center, Conference Room, Room 201
, UMass Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747
- Cost: Free! Pre-registration required.
- Contact: LiveWell: Office of Health Education, Promotion, & Wellness
- Description: Data support the notion that marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol or other drugs, but that does not mean that its use is entirely benign. Given the national trend towards medicalization and commercialization, it is important to have current information about marijuana, including its biology, pharmacology, effects on brain development, and physical and mental health risks, in addition to issues related to synthetic marijuana. Mechanisms for decreasing marijuana abuse among college students will also be addressed.

Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission.
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015.
After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music.
As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."
