Each fall, together URI’s Center for Career and Experiential Education and URI Center for the Humanities invite alumni to speak to current humanities undergraduates to discuss their career paths, and why their humanities degrees were instrumental in their success. We encourage students to realize not only how marketable their humanities skills are, but also how diverse their career opportunities are. This is also an opportunity for students to practice their networking skills in a supportive, informative environment.Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

Please see below for the next talk in the fall seminar series organized by the Institute for AI & Computational Research on AI/ML techniques and applications across various scientific domains. You can find a table of upcoming talks here: https://web.uri.edu/iacr/seminars/.Speaker: Wenchao Ge (URI)Date/Time/Location: Oct 30, 3pm, Memorial Union room 308.Title: Introduction to Quantum Computing and Variational Quantum AlgorithmsAbstract: In this talk, I will introduce the basics of quantum computing and discuss a leading strategy to use quantum computers--variational quantum algorithms. In the first half, I will explain what quantum computing is, why it is interesting, and the state-of-the-art in quantum computing. In the second half, I will talk about the components and the properties of variational quantum algorithms, which use a classical optimizer to train a parametrized quantum circuit. As an example, I will discuss the idea of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm and its applications to solve combinatorial problems, such as the Max-Cut problem.

AI Tools provides a comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) for students of all disciplines. The course introduces students to various AI tools that can enhance their academic performance and overall college experience.

Title: Expanding Ocean Observing Systems for Weather and Climate: From the Northeast US to the Caribbean SeaSpeaker: Dr. Travis Miles, Rutgers UniversityAbstract: Over the past three decades in situ ocean observing capabilities have expanded rapidly, becoming robust multi-platform networks capable of supporting broad stakeholder needs with real-time data delivery. In parallel, the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has been focused on connecting those networks with stakeholders from local communities, regional and global forecasting systems, and multi-disciplinary research teams. In this presentation I will broadly discuss the 1) growth and implementation of the hurricane glider network from the Northeast US through the Caribbean; 2) the impacts of upper ocean observations on operational ocean forecasting during hurricanes; and 3) exploration of new findings of climate trends in the Caribbean Sea.
