As you consider the Doctorate (PhD) program in Business Administration at UConn, it is extremely important that you make an informed choice, and attending a virtual infosession is a valuable way to gather the missing pieces. The PhD Virtual Infosessions are an ideal opportunity to learn first-hand about our highly regarded program and hear from admissions representatives.

Join us for a deep dive into application requirements as part of the graduate admissions process. This session will go over updates, the process The Graduate School uses before programs see their applications (Initial Grad Audit bin), and what programs should be looking for in their program review process (Program Audit bin). This will include the difference in accessing graduate admissions requirements versus program requirements, how to upload recommendations, and checking materials on the checklist. Please bring your questions, as we will be holding time at the end for Q&A.See more about all Timely Topics offered by The Graduate School.

Within this context, digital twin technology has emerged as a critical enabler, creating real-time virtual representations of physical assets for monitoring, analysis, and optimization. Computational intelligence plays a pivotal role in realizing the full potential of digital twins through data-driven approaches including surrogate modeling, machine learning algorithms, and physics-informed neural networks. These methods address key challenges such as real-time prediction requirements, high computational costs of traditional simulations, and the need for predictive maintenance capabilities. This presentation demonstrates practical applications of computational intelligence in digital twin frameworks through several industrial case studies: structural response predictions using graph neural networks, gearbox fault diagnosis through vibration signal analysis, bearing remaining useful life prediction, and automated turbine blade inspection using vision language models. These examples illustrate how computational intelligence transforms raw sensor data into actionable insights for predictive maintenance, quality control, and operational optimization. The integration of these technologies enables smart manufacturing systems that can anticipate failures, optimize performance, and make autonomous decisions, ultimately advancing the goals of Industry 4.0.  Who Should Attend?

What is the goal of a concert experience? At one level a concert allows musicians to show their skills and preparation in front of listeners. But what else does a concert achieve? What makes a concert impacting for performers and listeners? In this session, the speaker will share her experience as conductor, and her expertise programming and crafting music. She will highlight examples from her work with collegiate, professional, and community choirs, presenting different angles on this important issue for the performing arts. Discussion included—bring your questions and ideas!Ellen Voth, UConn Festival Chorus Director

Chemistry Colloquium: Sustainable Strategies for Synthesizing Drug Substances at Boehringer Yongda Zhang, Boehringer Ingelheim | Host: Green Chemistry Initiative 

What's the Tennessee 11? The Tennessee 11 (T11) is a documentary that was produced by Builders (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbuildersmovement.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmarc.massicotte%40uconn.edu%7C685bef421baf444a8a8e08dd67a3763f%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638780673949203991%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=sNk6DonVoZLxEuFpiVY2PZjs5yaC5Xn55yWmp6P%2Bf9Y%3D&reserved=0) (formerly "Starts With Us"), an organization focused on facilitating civil dialogue around polarizing topics in America. The documentary follows 11 Tennesseans (that are ideologically diverse on this issue – and probably many others) as they work to find consensus on firearms policies or interventions. Builders convened the T11 after the Covenant School (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tennessean.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Flocal%2F2023%2F03%2F31%2Finside-nashville-covenant-school-shooting-police-response%2F70061034007%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cmarc.massicotte%40uconn.edu%7C685bef421baf444a8a8e08dd67a3763f%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638780673949216546%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mxlDD%2BGNjtkULpB6xHk6RljVPf7h4yRBwAeXPi4QPfU%3D&reserved=0) (in Nashville) shooting and (coincidentally) at the same time the Tennessee State Legislature was in session to debate potential new gun laws in Tennessee. The T11 were not direct victims of the Covenant School shooting, rather they are Tennesseans whose state was affected by tragedy. Like many Americans, some of them have other experiences with gun injury and those experiences certainly influence how they think about guns in America/ Tennessee.

The panel will explore perspectives at the intersection of art, science, and engineering: What is the role of clouds and the turbulent atmosphere in art, science, and engineering? Clouds are always transient: How do we observe, analyze, and understand ephemerality?
