The UConn Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (i.e., UConn Pepper Center), plans to submit an application for competitive renewal to the National Institute on Aging at NIH. At this time, the UConn Pepper Center Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core (PESC) seeks letters of intent (LOIs) for studies to be included in the application. Studies selected for inclusion in the application will be funded contingent upon continued funding of the UConn Pepper Center. We are seeking Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 1-year pilot and exploratory studies that focus on enhancing function and independence in older adults while also advancing knowledge in the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology, and that will support future grant applications. We welcome a variety of research approaches, ranging from biological to clinical/behavioral to health services/community-based research. Projects focusing on cognition and behavior, host defense and immunity, voiding and continence, and mobility and falls are of particular interest. For proposed studies involving human subjects research, secondary data analysis-based projects are encouraged. Projects involving primary data collection are allowed but must be sufficiently feasible to complete within 1 year. LOIs are due by September 10, 2025 Full-time UConn and JAX faculty are eligible to apply for PESC funding. Priority will be given to junior faculty/early-stage investigators as well as established investigators pursuing aging-related research (relevant to Precision Gerontology) as a new area of research. Investigators may request up to $50,000 (direct costs) for a 1-year pilot project. Those interested in submitting an LOI are strongly encouraged to contact the PESC Co-Leaders Dr. Lisa Barry (libarry@uchc.edu) Dr. Blanka Rogina (rogina@uchc.edu) and to visit the UConn Pepper Center website to learn more about the theme of Precision Gerontology and the UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. https://health.uconn.edu/pepper-center/ Those seeking to apply for UConn PESC funding must submit the following by September 10, 2025: 1. A 1-page Letter of Intent (LOI) that includes:Brief description of the Specific Aims, Significance, and Approach; Statement as to how the proposed study aligns with the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology; Statement of how the proposed study will utilize applicable UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. 2. On a separate page, a brief budget and timeline 3. NIH Biosketch for Principal Investigator. Please send LOIs to Ms. Laura Masi (masi@uchc.edu) Individuals selected to submit full proposals will be notified by the PESC Co-Leaders.

Statistics Colloquium: Connecting the dots: a statistical framework for land change science using dense satellite time series  Presented by: Zhe Zhu, Associate Professor of Remote Sensing, Department of Natural Resources & the Environment, University of ConnecticutDate: Friday, September 5, 2025, 10:00 AM, AUST 247Meeting Link:Link (https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/uconn-cmr/j.php?MTID=m7ac0f6a5c077e6cda8d694f4d28bd2d1)Coffee will be available at 9:30 in the Noether Lounge (AUST 326)Abstract: Remote sensing data are noisy, which makes land change detection challenging, particularly for changes that are subtle, gradual, or transient. By connecting the dense time series observation "dots", we can better model the land surface characteristics, and therefore, detect and attribute land changes that are usually "invisible" in multitemporal satellite images. Moreover, the use of dense time series satellite observations and time series modeling creates new change products that if well-connected can provide a multifaceted view of land change. Finally, I will use the derived multifaceted land change products as the dots and connect them to demystify the changing land disturbance regimes, diminishing coastal tidal wetlands, and shifting human activity at continental and global scales.

Prof. Alexander Balatsky, Department of Physics, University of ConnecticutQuantum Printing and Materials for Quantum Technologies I will present main directions of research in the group: 1. Dynamics of quantum matter and 2. Defects and decoherence in qubits. 1. Quantum matter out of equilibrium emerge as an important platform to induce correlations and transient orders. Nonequilibrium orders have been seen in driven cold atoms, spins, magnetism and superconductivity. I will introduce the concepts of rectified quantum orders and quantum printing and discuss recent theory predictions and experimental observations of induced orders: magnetization induced in paraelectric and light induced vortex excitations in superconductors. 2. Decoherence and dephasing of solid state qubits like transmons are the active research topics in materials science. I will discuss ongoing work on role of two level systems in decoherence of qubits.

Host: Mia MaltzLocation: YNG 132 Webex Link:s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars (http://s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars)  Designing Plant Performance: CEA, Field-Sensing and Omics for Specialty Crops   Dr. Jianyu Li is an Extension Assistant Professor and horticultural scientist at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) and small‑fruit crops. His program integrates greenhouse and indoor crop management with field‑scale sensing and plant omics to optimize yield, quality, and resilience in specialty crops. Current projects focus on basil and other culinary herbs—testing how light spectrum, intensity, and photoperiod shape productivity, canopy architecture, physiology, and phytonutrient profiles—and extend to vegetable and small‑fruit systems. His group pairs drone‑based canopy imaging with omics to link management decisions to mechanistic insight. Collaborations include an active partnership with Prof. Mia Maltz (UConn) on fertility management in high‑organic‑matter soils. Dr. Li earned a Ph.D. in Horticultural Science and Soil Science from the University of Florida (2021) and an M.S. in Plant Pathology from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (2016).

Elliptic curves occupy a central role in modern number theory, arising naturally in the study of Diophantine equations. A central theme in their arithmetic is the Mordell-Weil theorem, which establishes that for a number field \(K\), the group of \(K\)-rational points on an elliptic curve \(E\), denoted \(E(K)\), is a finitely generated abelian group. The rank of an elliptic curve is therefore defined as the rank of the free part of the \(\mathbb{Z}\)-module \(E(K)\). Over the past few decades, many questions about ranks of elliptic curves have arisen, most notably the following: for a given number field \(K\), are the possible ranks of elliptic curves defined over \(K\) bounded or unbounded? Recent developments and heuristics suggest that the answer may be unbounded; however, much remains unknown. In this talk, we investigate how the rank of an elliptic curve can increase when passing to quadratic extensions (or towers of quadratic extensions) of the base field over which it is initially defined.

COPENHAGEN by Michael Frayn directed by Vince Tycer September 4, 5 and 6 at 7:30 pm Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre Stage Set in 1941, Copenhagen explores the enigmatic meeting between German physicist Werner Heisenberg and his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr, amidst the backdrop of World War II. As former collaborators now on opposing sides, they grapple with the mysteries of quantum physics and the complexities of human relationships. Sponsored by the Yale Quantum Institute (https://quantuminstitute.yale.edu/) (YQI) in recognition of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (https://quantum2025.org/) this production marks the centennial of Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics. CRT is delighted to collaborate with our colleagues at YQI and bring this production to the Harriet S Jorgensen theatre. Through the YQI Artist-in-Residence program, producer Florian Carle has collaborated with director Vince Tycer and talented artists from Yale and UConn to bring this profound story to life.  Florian Carle, YQI Managing Director, shares, "When I created the YQI Artist-in-Residence program, bringing quantum physics to a theater production was always in the back of my mind. The QuantumCT (https://quantumct.org/) initiative brought Vince Tycer and me together to explore how to teach quantum science to diverse learners. I could only think about one thing: Copenhagen." Don't miss this unique blend of art and science that offers a glimpse into the minds of two iconic figures in quantum theory. Admission is FREE. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Please note that ticketing is via the YQI Eventbrite link posted below. WAITING LIST OPTION In the event of a sold out performance, CRT will implement a nightly waiting list each evening at 6:45 pm in the Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre lobby. Interested parties will be added to the waiting list in the order of their arrival. You must be present in the lobby to join the waiting list and must be present in the building when your name is called.  We look forward to seeing you at the theatre!
