UMass Dartmouth CVPA Campus Gal lery is proud to present Tug and Pull\, an exhibition by Swedish-born arti st Anna Kristina Goransson\, in the CVPA Campus Gallery from September 30 to November 30\, 2026. A reception is planned for Wednesday\, September 30 \, 2026\, from 5 to 7 PM at the CVPA Campus Gallery at 285 Old Westport Ro ad in Dartmouth\, MA 02747\, featuring an artist talk at 5:30 PM. Light re freshments will be served. Please use parking lots 5\, 14\, or 18 and walk to the CVPA building from there. The gallery is located on the first floo r.
\nThe exhibition presents several impressive installations made o f 3D felted forms and found objects that create visual struggles between o pposing forces. As the artist states\, "In this world\, it seems everyone feels the pull of control coming from every direction. There is a constant weight of obligations and expectations. In the end\, who wins?"

The approach generalizes a scalar mass-redistributio n technique using the Zhang-Shu scaling limiter as a projection strategy t o treat nonlinear pressure in the Euler equations. Because the positivity- preserving mechanism operates independently from the spatial discretizatio n, it provides highly modular and non-intrusive stabilization for existing solvers.We first demonstrate the framework's robust performance in explic it fifth-order finite difference WENO schemes for extreme compressible Eul er flows such as high-Mach jets and strong blast waves.

In this livel y, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore one of the most powerful—and somet imes elusive—elements of great writing: voice. Through discussion, examp les, and practical exercises, we’ll look at how one’s unique artistic choices can transform competent prose into writing that feels distinctive, authentic, and alive. Whether you’re new to creative writing, working on a novel or short story, or simply looking to strengthen your craft, yo u’ll learn techniques for developing the kind of prose that lingers in t he hearts and minds of readers.

Docusign is used to create and distribute forms to collect information and digital signatures. This works hop provides an introduction to Docusign features. Participants will creat e a simple form\, send it out via email for a signature\, and review their collected responses. They will also create a more complex form that gathe rs other types of information from the respondent\, and requires multiple signatures. No previous experience is required.
\nAccess to Docusi gn is managed by CITS. Please contact Steven Splinter at SSplinter@umassd. edu at least three business days prior to this workshop to request access. Docusign is available to employees only.
\nThis workshop will take place in the Claire T. Carney Library\, room 128.
\nNote that seatin g is limited. Please register if yo u would like to participate!

Topic: “AI-Enabled Antenna-to -System Design with LLMs\, MCP\, and MATLAB”
\nAbstract: The AI- Enabled Antenna-to-System Design Tutorial offers hands-on exercises and de mos that demonstrate an AI-assisted antenna and RF system engineering work flow in MATLAB. Using LLMs connected through Model Context Protocol (MCP ) and domain-specific skills\, attendees will see how to create antenna ge ometries\, run EM simulations\, evaluate RF metrics\, analyze radiation pa tterns\, and perform design checks with reduced manual effort. The tutoria l will also include hands-on examples of AI-based 3D radiation-pattern rec onstruction from sparse cuts\, pretrained antenna models for rapid design- space exploration\, and the use of EM results in RF chains\, waveforms\, l ink budgets\, and system-level simulations. This tutorial will help attend ees to: (1) Use LLMs and MCP-based domain skills to create and analyze ant enna designs and automate common EM engineering tasks\; (2) Apply AI techn iques for radiation-pattern reconstruction and antenna design-space explor ation\; and (3) Connect antenna and EM results to end-to-end RF system sim ulations in MATLAB.
\nBiography: Dr. Sekhar Rajendran Sekharan is a Senior Application Engineer at MathWorks specializing in RF systems\, an tennas\, electromagnetics\, wireless communications\, and AI-enabled RF de sign workflows. He collaborates with leading semiconductor\, aerospace\, d efense\, and wireless technology companies to develop advanced modeling\, simulation\, and optimization solutions using MATLAB and Simulink. He hold s a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University at Buffalo (SUNY) and is an active IEEE contributor\, speaker\, and author focused on AI-dri ven RF engineering\, antenna design\, wireless sensing\, and next-generati on communication systems.
\nNOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are EN COURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.

\n< p style="mso-layout-grid-align: none\; text-autospace: none\;">Title: Fixed-effect controls for slope-based constructs< /span>\nDate: Friday\, October 30\, 2026
\nTime: 9:30 -10:45 AM
\nLocation: via Z oom Meeting
\nMeeting ID: 438 755 1509
\nAbstract: Fixed-effects designs are pervasive in modern research. R esearchers often apply them “as is” to slope-based accounting construc ts (e.g.\, earnings response coefficient\, which is the slope of Y = abnormal returns with respect to X = earnings su rprise\, asymmetric timeliness\, or cost elasticity). However\, fixed effects are insufficient in such settings because they capture variation in Y\, not variation in the focal slope dY/dX. Several recent articles point this out and add group-level and time-specif ic slopes for the construct. However\, subsequent research mostly ignores this solution. We explain how this neglect distorts inferences and undermi nes the logic of designs like difference-in-differences. We further show t hat simple solutions using aggregate state- or industry-level slopes are i nsufficient. They can cause major biases even when the treatment affects a ll firms equally in the focal states or industries. We examine alternative solutions and their potential pitfalls. Our adjustments change published findings.
