« 4/12 - 4/29 »	Exhibition: Making Her Mark Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: Art History Department Description: The Making Her Mark exhibition runs from April 12 thru April 29, 2017 at the Main Campus Art Gallery located in the College of Visual & Performing Arts, UMass Dartmouth, adjacent to parking lot 9. We invite the public to attend the opening reception and gallery talk on Wednesday, April 12 from 4pm -6pm. The public exhibition hours are Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. -4 p.m. For more information, please contact: - Dr. Anna Dempsey, adempsey@umassd.edu or - Allison J. Cywin, acywin@umassd.edu You can also call the gallery at 508-999-8550. Making Her Mark is an exhibition highlighting late nineteenth-century paintings, illustrations, books, and sculptures by Rhode Island women artists and their contributions to the modernity narrative. The exhibition focuses on a group of women artists who were instrumental in the establishment of one of the first American art club, Providence Art Club, that excepted women as equal members, as active board members and as artistic colleagues. Over the course of the later half of nineteenth century women artists, such as, Rosa Peckham, Emily McGary Selinger, Helen Watson Phelps, Emma Swan, Charlotte Gilman, Mary C. Wheeler, & Sophia Pitman, along with other female artists, worked, traveled, and exhibited alongside their male contemporaries. Many of these women pursued opportunities to show their artworks in salons and galleries in both the United States and abroad, including Paris and London. These remarkable women, artists, suffragettes, art instructors, authors, and community leaders help form and contribute to the regional and national artistic and cultural conversation. The exhibition celebrates these women artists and recognizes their struggles as well as their accomplishments to the American history. The exhibition is part of the capstone experience where students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. This is the 6th year that Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin, art history professors, have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities in Providence. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Providence Art Club.

9:00 AM - 11:00 AM	Doctor Of Philosophy Dissertation Defense by: Mohammad H. Ahmad Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A Cost: Free Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department Description: Topic: Spectral Domain Fast Multipole Method for Solving Integral Equations in Electromagnetic Wave Scattering Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Abstract: In this dissertation, a spectral domain implementation of the fast multipole method is presented. It is shown that the aggregation, translation, and disaggregation stages of the fast multipole method (FMM) can be performed using spectral domain (SD) analysis. FMM is a technique that is used widely to reduce the speed and memory requirements of computing the electromagnetic scattering from large objects. Calculating the electromagnetic scattering from objects requires the solution of an integral equation which relates the scattered fields to the induced currents. In the Method of Moments (MoM), the integral equation is discretized into a matrix equation. Conventional FMM uses a near field/far field separation to speed up the computation of the matrix elements. The spectral domain fast multipole method (SD-FMM) has the advantage of eliminating the near field/far field classification used in conventional FMM formulation. The goal of this study was to investigate the similarities of the spectral domain analysis and the FMM formulation. The benefits of the spectral domain analysis such as transforming the convolutional form of the Greenâ€™s function to a multiplicative form are incorporated in the SD-FMM method. The study focuses on the application of SD-FMM to one-, two- and three-dimensional electric field integral equations (EFIE). The cases of perfectly conducting (PEC) strips, circular and square perfectly conducting cylinders are numerically analyzed. For three-dimensional cases, a perfectly conductor sphere, square flat plate, and circular disk are also analyzed. The results from the SD-FMM method are compared with the results from the conventional FMM and the direct application of Method of Moments (MoM). All the results compared well with results from the direct application of MoM and FMM. Note: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend.

Making Her Mark is an exhibition highlighting late nineteenth-century paintings, illustrations, books, and sculptures by Rhode Island women artists and their contributions to the modernity narrative. The exhibition focuses on a group of women artists who were instrumental in the establishment of one of the first American art club, Providence Art Club, that excepted women as equal members, as active board members and as artistic colleagues. Over the course of the later half of nineteenth century women artists, such as, Rosa Peckham, Emily McGary Selinger, Helen Watson Phelps, Emma Swan, Charlotte Gilman, Mary C. Wheeler, & Sophia Pitman, along with other female artists, worked, traveled, and exhibited alongside their male contemporaries. Many of these women pursued opportunities to show their artworks in salons and galleries in both the United States and abroad, including Paris and London. These remarkable women, artists, suffragettes, art instructors, authors, and community leaders help form and contribute to the regional and national artistic and cultural conversation. The exhibition celebrates these women artists and recognizes their struggles as well as their accomplishments to the American history. The exhibition is part of the capstone experience where students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience. This is the 6th year that Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin, art history professors, have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum quality exhibition and publication. This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities in Providence. This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the Providence Art Club.

Human behavior is increasingly mediated by technology that captures and transmits data at speeds and scales never before imagined. Enabling humans to make sense of such big data offers almost boundless possibilities for us to learn about ourselves and improve the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of the research field, visual analytics, which marries advanced computation with human cognition for supporting sensemaking activities. I will present my work on interfacing machine learning to scale up its usage beyond data processing, and discuss the role of machine learning in visual analytics. Biography: Maoyuan Sun is an Assistant Professor in the Computer and Information Science Department, at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. His research seeks to create effective human-in-the-loop methods to support sensemaking of big data. His work falls in the areas of visual analytics, information visualization, human computer interaction and human-centered machine learning, with applied domains in intelligence analysis, business intelligence and cyber security. Maoyuan received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech in 2016. The Seminars is open to the public free of charge. *For further information, please contact Dr. Honggang Wang at 508.999.8469, or by via email at hwang1@umassd.edu.
