Speaker: Zhengwei Liu (Tsinghua University)In person or on Zoom: https://mit.zoom.us/j/92441268505Title: Alterfold Theory and Modular InvarianceAbstract: We will present new insights in alterfold theory to study modular tensor categories. We provide streamlined quick proofs and broad generalizations of a wide range of results on modular invariance of modular tensor categories.It is based on joint work with M. Shuang, Y. Wang and J. Wu, arXiv:2412.12702.

This workshop explores the intersection of embodied interaction, performance, visual composition, and creative computing. Participants will learn and engage with live coding using Hydra—an open-source live coding environment and visualization engine in the browser—as a tool for performance practice, storytelling, and artistic expression through embodied gesture.No prior coding experience is required.Workshop is led by Computational Media & Performance Artist and Scholar, Dr. Sahar Sajadieh.

Presented by the Emerson/Harris Program for Private Study Solo Recital SeriesProgramTBDLivestream: https://mta.mit.edu/viewlisten/live-killian-hallAbout the PerformersSoprano Hyo Sun Park is a second-year PhD student in Physics at MIT, specializing in Experimental Atomic Physics in Prof. Wolfgang Ketterle's group. Originally from South Korea, Hyo Sun studied Physics at Bryn Mawr/Haverford Colleges, where she began formal vocal training with Suzanne DuPlantis during her freshman year. While in college, Hyo Sun won the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Concerto Competition with Mozart's Exsultate, Jubilate and performed as a soloist with the Bi-Co Chorale and Orchestra. She sang with the Bi-Co Chamber Singers for four years and gave annual recitals.At MIT, Hyo Sun studies voice with Kendra Colton as an Emerson-Harris Fellow for Classical Voice and is a member of the MIT Chamber Chorus. She was the featured soloist for the MIT Concert Choir's performances of Mozart's Requiem and Poulenc's Gloria, and the MIT Chamber Chorus's performance of the newly commissioned piece Grace by MIT Professor Charles Shadle, all directed by Ryan Turner. Hyo Sun feels fortunate to have worked with Nathan Zullinger, Heidi Jacob, Ting Ting Wong, and Kerry Deal. She is honored to collaborate with Seolyeong and give her first solo recital at MIT this spring!About the Emerson/Harris Program for Private StudySupport for private musical study is available for students through the Emerson/Harris Program (E/HP), which offers merit-based financial awards for outstanding achievement on instruments or voice in classical, jazz, or world music. Each academic year, the program awards Scholarships and Fellowships to nearly seventy students who commit to a full year’s study and participate in the musical life of MIT.Auditions for the program are held at the beginning of each academic year. Private teacher selections, made in consultation with the E/HP jury heads, may include instructors from MIT staff and throughout Greater Boston. The Emerson/Harris Program is funded by the late Mr. Cherry L. Emerson, Jr. (SM, 1941), in response to an appeal from AssociateProvost Ellen T. Harris (Class of 1949 Professor Emeritus of Music). The Emerson/Harris Masterclass Series is supported, in part, by the Robert L. Malster (1956) Fund.This project is presented as part of Artfinity, an Institute-sponsored event celebrating creativity and community at MIT. Artfinity is organized by the Office of the Arts.

The 21st Annual Operations Simulation Competition (OpsSimCom) 2025 is a student-led event where you can compete with students from around the country to see who can run the most profitable factory.Play for a prize pool totaling $2,500 - no travel required!Play an online simulation against teams from around the world to manage a factory: make investments, cut costs, borrow money, forecast demand, find bottlenecks, fulfill orders and satisfy customers! We've witnessed the best teams from around the world pit their wits against each other in what the game creator has called "possibly the most challenging assignment I've ever created." OpsSimCom will use a simulator specially designed for the competition, and no prior experience with the simulation is required. Even if you have played this game in class, this will not be a repeat of what you have seen before.Competition begins at 5PM EST on Wednesday April 16th and runs till Friday April 18th 5pm ETWebsite: OpsSimCom 2025 - Operations Management Club | MIT Sloan School of ManagementFAQ: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MT9Hdx-jIP002QK_0J2aDX6MGG02lB0uQg8MGGp335U/editWebinar: April 14th @ 12PM ESThttps://mit.zoom.us/j/91412776156Registration Deadline: April 15th @ 11:59PM ESTTeam Prizes:First: $ 1,500Second: $750Third: $250Important Note: Prize money is awarded to people individually, not as a group, and is considered taxable income.Rules:All participants must be currently enrolled university studentsThe competition is entirely online, no travel is required.There is a limit of up to 4 students per team (and as low as 1 person per team)No limits on the number of teams per schoolNo help can be taken from professors or others outside of the teamEach person can only be on one teamTwo teams are not allowed to interact/help each otherRegistration:Each team must purchase 1 ticket on the eventbrite page to be confirmedQuestions?Reach out to opssimcom@mit.edu
