- 9:00 AM1hMS BAPM Virtual Information SessionAs you consider a Graduate Program in Business Analytics and Project Management (BAPM) at UConn, it is extremely important that you can make an informed choice. Attending a virtual information session is a valuable way to gather the missing pieces. The BAPM Virtual Information Sessions are an ideal opportunity to learn first-hand about all of our Graduate BAPM Program offerings and hear from admissions representatives who can answer your questions about pursuing this degree.
- 9:00 AM2hDoctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Zhenyu XuThis dissertation develops a new nonparametric framework and estimator to improve cure rate modeling in biomedical contexts involving clustered data and competing risks. The methods are validated through simulations and real-world medical applications, offering more accurate and interpretable survival analysis outcomes.

- 10:00 AM2hScrivener for Scholars: A Philosophy and Software for Your Personal Knowledge Management—from Note-Taking to WritingPart of ISA's Professional Advancement Seminar Series. This course is open to both ISA members and non-members. This is a quintessential question and challenge for anyone whose work relies on creating, organizing, and using vast amounts of information. As international relations scholars, we accumulate notes while preparing for PhD qualifying exams, keeping track of our research ideas, drafting papers, and creating syllabi. Often, these notes are spread across different media, from post-its and physical notebooks to Word documents and citation software, and we may not be able to find them in the moment when they would be most helpful. This workshop suggests a philosophy for a central system of note-taking and demonstrates a technical implementation using the software Scrivener. This session will review how to use Scrivener to manage information in a way that allows researchers to focus on what matters most: creating new insights and knowledge for others. INSTRUCTOR: Stefan Tschauko (Adjunct Assistant Professor, Columbia University). Interested in being notified of upcoming webinars?

- 1:00 PM1hFulbright Info SessionThe Fulbright U.S. Student Program (https://us.fulbrightonline.org/) expands perspectives through academic and professional advancement and cross-cultural dialogue. Fulbright creates connections in a complex and changing world. In partnership with more than 140 countries worldwide, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers unparalleled opportunities in all academic disciplines to passionate and accomplished graduating college seniors, graduate students, and young professionals from all backgrounds. Program participants pursue graduate study, conduct research, or teach English abroad. The info session will cover the basics of the Fulbright US Student program and an overview of the application process.
- 1:00 PM2hDoctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Laron BurrowsDissertation Title: Distributed Ammonia Production Field of Study: Chemical Engineering This dissertation explores the technical feasibility of distributed ammonia production through three distinct research projects. The first project uses dynamic simulations to assess the stability of a scaled-down Haber-Bosch process operating with intermittent feedstocks. The second project proposes and thermodynamically evaluates chemical looping ammonia synthesis (CLAS) pathways as alternative methods better suited for decentralized production. The third project develops a novel bifunctional alloy-based CLAS approach, integrating theoretical alloy selection with experimental validation to enable ammonia synthesis at atmospheric pressure.
