Award-winning filmmaker and photojournalist Fiona Lloyd-Davies has been making films about human rights issues in areas of conflict since 1992, including in Bosnia, Iraq, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lloyd-Davies’ work combines journalism with a strong visual style that she learned as a graduate of the Royal College of Art. She films much of her own work, drawing out intensely personal and difficult stories from people often at their most vulnerable and bringing the viewer into the subject’s life to render a deeply drawn portrait, while preserving the dignity and integrity of their story.
About the Producer: Nick Stuart
Nick Stuart is a producer of “Unconquered: Gorazde, City of Heroes” and has spent over 30 years presenting, directing, and producing programming in the UK and in the U.S,, winning The Human Rights Award at the Venice International Film Festival and a Peabody Award among others. Dedicated to human rights and social justice programming he also specializes in impact campaigns to help documentaries be more effective in bringing positive change to our world.
This event is a collaboration between the Gladstein Family Human Rights Institute, Dodd Human Rights Impact Programs, the Department of Digital Media & Design, Studio 9 Films and Nick Stuart Films.

3/19 Traction Workshop: The Pitch Deck
Traction Workshop: The Pitch Deck
Tuesday, March 19th, 202406:30 PM - 07:30 PMThe Traction Program is made up of bi-weekly workshops and office hours with the potential for seed funding based on participation and the opportunity to apply for incubation space.

In this workshop we’ll cover what slides you should include in your deck, how you should structure your pitch and how to make your deck look visually appealing.
Office hours with the workshop instructor are available the following week to those that attended the workshop.
Traction Workshops are coordinated by the Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (CCEI) at UConn. CCEI was founded in 2007, and is a focal point for entrepreneurial activity within the University. CCEI supports student, faculty, staff, and alumni entrepreneurs across all academic departments, schools, and colleges. For more info: ccei.uconn.edu

Major Advisor: Dr. Fei Miao
Associate Advisors: Dr. Desheng Zhang, Dr. Dongjin Song

Meeting link: https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/meet/sih19006Abstract:
Networked systems comprise interconnected components or agents that operate in complex environments. One of the principal challenges in these networked systems is ensuring robust decision-making. Due to inherent systematic complexities and multiple uncertainties, decisions must be resilient to unexpected perturbations, inaccurate sensing, and imprecise modeling. In this thesis defense, we introduce Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL)-based and Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO)-based strategies for robust decision-making in networked systems. First, we present a distributionally robust optimization (DRO)-based method with data-driven uncertainty quantification, for vehicle rebalancing problems in intelligent transportation systems. It minimizes the worst-case expected rebalancing cost considering uncertainties in both passenger mobility demand and electric vehicles supply. Then, we design robust multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL)-based methods, to provide fair and robust mobility and charging decisions. Prediction uncertainty and model uncertainty are modeled by adversarial attacks and transitional kernel uncertainty sets, respectively. Finally, a general robust MARL framework is proposed to address state uncertainty in multi-agent systems. We will introduce the Markov game with state perturbation adversaries (MG-SPA), including theoretical analysis, algorithm designs with performance guarantees, and experimental results.Contact Information:Sihong He
