- 11:00 AM30mSacred Art "Visio Divina"Visio Divina, or “sacred seeing,” is an ancient form of Christian prayer in which we allow our hearts and imaginations to prayerfully and meditatively enter into an image. Join the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art for guided sessions of visio divina with sacred art in the Mary, Queen of Families Chapel. This opportunity is a wonderful way to spiritually engage with this unique, art-filled space. Whether you are new to the practice of visio divina or a long-time devotee, all are welcome for a moment of peace, prayer, and meditation. Meet at the Welcome Desk on Level 1. Always free and open to all. Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.

- 11:00 AM1hThiele Lectureship Seminar—"Machine learning in computational catalysis: from electronic structure theory to kinetic models"Andrew J. Medford Associate Professor in the School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology As a faculty member, his group’s research lies at the intersection of catalysis and surface science, computational chemistry, and machine learning, and he has received several research awards, including the NSF CAREER Award and the Early Career Award from the ACS CATL division.2025 THIELE LECTURESHIP AWARDEESeminar Title: Machine learning in computational catalysis: from electronic structure theory to kinetic models Abstract: Heterogeneous catalysis is an inherently multi-scale process that ultimately connects the behavior of electrons to the global-scale production of chemicals. Understanding how these processes interact is a never-ending challenge, but recent research has shown that application of machine learning and artificial intelligence models is a promising strategy for discovery of novel catalytic materials and advancing fundamental insight at the interface between chemistry and physics. This talk will present progress in the application of machine learning from opposite ends of the multi-scale spectrum. At the scale of electrons, the talk will introduce the use of machine learning approaches to establish a new paradigm of exchange-correlation functional design that uses "multipole features" to provide flexibility between the solid-state and molecular electronic environments that arise in solid-gas/liquid interfaces of heterogeneous catalysis. At the scale of reactors, the use of "kinetics informed neural networks" will be presented as a route to directly analyze large volumes of transient kinetic and spectroscopic data to extract rate parameters that can help elucidate intrinsic kinetics and reaction mechanisms. The talk will demonstrate how these fundamentally different approaches have complementary strengths and weaknesses, indicating that a combination of methods will ultimately be required to understand the complex multi-scale processes involved in heterogeneous catalysis.

- 12:30 PM1h 30m"Private Violence": A Conversation about Gender-Based Violence and Asylum in the United StatesMichele WaslinAssistant Director, Immigration History Research Center, University of MinnesotaCarol CleavelandAssociate Professor of Social Work, George Mason University Moderated by:Cat GarganoKellogg Doctoral Student AffiliatePhD student in Peace Studies and Clinical Psychology As part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week, the Kellogg and Klau institutes welcome Michele Waslin, a Notre Dame alumna, and her co-author Carol Cleaveland for a talk based on their book of the same name. Private Violence exposes how the US asylum system fails to protect Latin American women fleeing severe gender-based violence, including assault and death threats from intimate partners and gangs. The book reveals the legal challenges these women face due to asylum laws rooted in outdated views that persecution must come from state actors, not private individuals. It advocates for policy reforms to incorporate a gender-based perspective in asylum law, highlighting both the system's flaws and the resilience of survivors and their advocates. Presented by the Kellogg Institute and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights.Michele Waslin is the assistant director of the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota, where she tracks and analyzes immigration research and policy. She has nearly 20 years of experience in immigration policy research, writing, and advocacy. She holds a PhD in government and international studies from the University of Notre Dame. Carol Cleaveland is associate professor of social work at George Mason University whose research focuses on Latino immigration and gender-based violence. She earned her PhD from Bryn Mawr College and specializes in immigration-related trauma and advocacy for vulnerable populations. For more information, visit the events page.
