Winter Weather Safety Reminder

by Human Resources

With winter weather returning soon, this is a reminder for departments to continue communicating procedures regarding weather-related absences.

During times when weather conditions deteriorate, each member of the University community must exercise personal judgment about their ability to get to or from campus safely. Interruptions in work due to weather are no different from other events that cause us to leave work early or arrive late.

If any employee’s work schedule is affected by winter weather, the first thing they should do is contact their supervisor directly and explain the situation. Hourly employees may use vacation or comp time to make up for hours missed due to bad weather. Exempt employees are expected to fulfill their regular job responsibilities.

Employees should contact Human Resources at 906-487-2280 with questions or concerns.

Math-Sci Colloquium Series Speaker: Chris Bemis

by Mathematical Sciences

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is pleased to welcome Chris Bemis from X Cubed to speak as part of our Math-Sci Colloquium Series.

Bemis will present a colloquium and a research lecture on Friday, Nov. 6. A social hour will be held between the two events at 2 p.m. in Fisher 323. Light refreshments will be provided.

  • Math-Sci Colloquium: Friday, Nov. 6, at 1 p.m. in Fisher 101
  • Title: “Investor Views as Constraints in Mean-Variance Optimization” 
  • Abstract: We study the effect linear constraints have on risk in the context of mean-variance optimization (MVO). Jagannathan and Ma (2003) establish an equivalence between certain constrained and unconstrained MVO problems via a modification of the covariance matrix. We extend their results to arbitrary linear constraints and provide alternative interpretations for the effect of constraints on both the input parameters to the problems at hand and why ex-post performance is improved in the constrained setting. In addition, we present a signal modification strategy similar in approach to that of Black-Litterman.Audience: Undergraduate and Graduate students seeking careers in Math or Finance.
  • Math-Sci Research Lecture: Friday, Nov. 6, at 4 p.m. in Fisher 130
  • Title: “Quasi-Explicit Recovery of Heston Parameters from SSVI-Paramaterized Surfaces”
  • Abstract: The calibration of the Heston model via least-squares to an implied volatility surface is ill-posed as the surface identifies combinations of the parameters (κ,θ,ξ,ρ,v0) while failing to disambiguate individual values. We assemble, from published asymptotic results together with several elementary computations, a quasi-explicit recovery map with each Heston parameter expressed as an explicit functional of a fitted stochastic volatility inspired surface (SSVI). The construction relies on a sequential and exact identification across two asymptotic regions and the at-the-money term structure, and the identification of each parameter requires no more than scalar monotone root-finding.

Bemis is co-founder and managing director at X Cubed Capital Management. He focuses on alpha-driven portfolio construction across various asset classes. He joined the firm from Whitebox Advisors, where he headed their quant group since 2007. His previous work has yielded several systematic credit strategies, most recently in corporate credit. 

Bemis earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Minnesota, where his thesis involved modeling and optimization for portfolios of risky assets. He remains an affiliated faculty in their math finance program.

ChE Seminar Series: Philip Biessey

by Chemical Engineering

Philip Biessey will present as part of the Department of Chemical Engineering (ChE) Seminar Series on Friday, Nov. 6, at 10 a.m. in person in Chem Sci 211 and virtually via Zoom.

Join the ChE Seminar on Zoom.

Biessey will present “The Circularity Transition and the Rise of Circular Process Engineering.”

Read Biessey’s abstract and bio on the University Events Calendar.

Biessey is the chair for responsible process engineering at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.

MAE Graduate Seminar Speaker: Matthew Kemnetz

by Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

The next Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) Graduate Seminar speaker will present at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, in Dow 641.

Matthew Kemnetz will present “Aerodynamic Effects in Laser Beam Propagation.”

From the abstract:
In this presentation we explore how Aero-optical turbulence distorts laser beams for airborne systems due to the high-speed airflow around the aircraft. The complexity of the high-speed airflow around the aircraft makes predicting and mitigating these distortions challenging. Experimentalists often use wind tunnels to collect data for aero-optical turbulence, but most wind tunnel imaging techniques are limited in their ability to capture 3D turbulence dynamics.

Guest Lectures with Visiting Scholar Verginia R. Wortel

The Office of Community Engagement invites you to attend guest lectures featuring Verginia R. Wortel, whose visit to Michigan Tech is made possible through the Visiting Professor Program.

Wortel is the head of the Department of Forest Management at the Center for Agricultural Research in Suriname (Celos), where she has been an active researcher since 2006. With a background in environmental management and conservation biology, she currently manages the forest management department. She will be giving two lectures at Michigan Tech and everyone is welcome to attend. 

  • Lecture 1: Monday, Nov. 2, from 1-2 p.m. in Noblet 144
  • Title: “The Future of Tropical Silviculture: The Case of Suriname”
  • Abstract: Tropical forests are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems and provide essential ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, and timber production. These forests sustain the livelihoods of over 1.5 billion people and in many tropical countries the timber industry is an important economic sector. Globally, approximately 1 billion ha of forests is subjected to selective logging, including 680 Mha of tropical production forests. Tropical forestry is presently facing profound changes in environmental, social, economic and climate conditions. For more than 40 years, selective logging, operated in untouched old growth forests and followed basic rules based on a logging cycle of 20 to 35 years. However, as these forests now enter their second or subsequent logging cycles, research indicates that longer rotations (exceeding 60 years in South America), paired with reduced logging intensities and diversification of targeted species, are essential for long-term sustainability. This is equally the case for Suriname — a developing nation with rich natural resources — including over 90% forest cover. With successive governments of Suriname committing to preserve this coverage, there is a growing need to insights into managed tropical forests. This urgency is reinforced by the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) Global forest sector outlook 2050 stating that the demand for timber will increase substantially by 2050. The Centre for Agricultural research in Suriname (CELOS) manages a unique, 48-years old silvicultural experiment, that offers an opportunity to address these knowledge gaps. This experiment provides critical data on long-term tropical forest recovery following different logging and silvicultural treatments. Previous research evaluating the first 32 years post — logging, revealed that applying the legal cutting limit of 25 m3 ha−1 will require more than 70 years to recover aboveground carbon and 40 years to recover timber stocks, with 90% probability. This indicates that Suriname’s current 25-year cutting cycle is too short to sustain long-term timber stocks. The present study evaluates the forest 46 years post-logging to provide actionable insights for sustainable forest management policies. Ultimately, these findings will help protect critical ecosystems, support the long-term productivity of forest-dependent communities, and assist Suriname in meeting its national and international commitments. 
  • Lecture 2: Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the MUB Alumni Lounge C (MUB 107C)
  • Title: “Road to Higher Education: From Teeth to Trees — A Full Circle Back to the Forest”
  • Abstract: The road to higher education is rarely a straight line; more often, it is a journey of self-discovery. This talk explores a full-circle academic path that began in the shade of childhood trees, nearly detoured into the highly specialized world of dentistry, and ultimately returned to its roots in the forest. While dentistry offered a stable, traditional career, my affinity for the environment proved impossible to ignore. Driven by pivotal mentors, this transition highlights a profound realization: higher education can serve to bring us back to our original passions, equipped with the scientific rigor and tools needed to understand them. Today, this journey drives research dedicated to understanding forest ecosystems and developing sustainable, responsible methods for their responsible management, protection, and sustainable use.

This program/lecture is partially funded/sponsored by the Visiting Professor Program which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan’s Martin Luther King, Jr. – Dolores Huerta – Morris Hood Jr. – Rosa Parks Initiative.

Michigan Technological University is an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer that provides equal opportunity for all, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Neoliberal Loops Gallery Exhibit - Rozsa Art Galleries

Monday, November 2, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. | Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts, Rozsa Art Galleries

MICHIGAN TECH ART SERIES EVENT Neoliberal Loops is a body of work created by Emma C. Johnson that explores neoliberalism, postfeminism, economic precarity, and how our understanding of these phenomena are mediated through visual culture. Her work is concerned with mundane and idiosyncratic details that are telling of a larger picture of the world. She works primarily in painting, printmaking, photography, video, sound, and text. Whatever medium the idea demands is what determines the materiality of the finished work. The Neoliberal Loops project features three related works on the theme of financial crisis. This includes music/sound and digital video, photography, text on a moving LED lights screen, and letterpress on paper. This exhibition is an opportunity to reflect on capitalism, representation, and feminism, and grapple with this material in a visceral way. Emma invites viewers to reflect on neoliberalism, which often seems as natural as the air we breathe. This opens up a dialog about how representations of neoliberalism shapes our understanding of it and how we might approach our understanding of it and other possibilities for living differently. This project brings Emma…

PFAS in the Great Lakes Aquatic System

Monday, November 2, 3 p.m. | Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), 202

Environmental Engineering Graduate Seminar Chunjie Xia, Research Associate, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University Abstract: Atmospheric deposition is an important but incompletely understood pathway through which per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter the Great Lakes. This study integrates measurements of PFAS in air, precipitation, and lake water with mass-budget analyses to examine how atmospheric inputs influence PFAS accumulation and export across the five lakes. As part of the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network, precipitation (n = 207) and air (n = 60) samples were collected at five monitoring sites, together with water samples (n = 87) from all five Great Lakes, during 2021–2023 and analyzed for 41 PFAS. Median summed PFAS concentrations ranged from 2.4 to 4.5 ng/L in precipitation and from 1.3 ng/L in Lake Superior water to 11 ng/L in Lake Ontario water. These measurements were combined with available data to develop mass budgets for four representative compounds: PFBA, PFBS, PFOS, and PFOA. Estimated budgets generally indicated net accumulation in Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron and net export from Lakes Erie and Ontario…
