Genderations Luncheon with Dr. Amy Brausch (Psych Sciences)
Lunch 12:00 – 12:15. Lecture: 12:15 – 1:00
The catered lunch portion of the event will require an RSVP. Please contact marla.zubel@wku.edu.
Dr. Brausch's research interests fall under the broad category of adolescent and young adult self-harm and risk-taking behaviors. She studies risk and protective factors for suicide, as well as non-suicidal self-injury. She is especially interested in the role of the body in self-harm, and how factors such as body image, body protection, and body attitudes are related to an individual’s propensity to inflict harm on oneself. Other research has investigated the overlap between self-injury and risk-taking behaviors such as substance use, unhealthy eating and exercise habits, and self-asphyxial behaviors (known commonly among adolescents as “the choking game”). As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Brausch is also interested in the assessment, treatment, and prevention of suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and eating disorders.

Title: Non-Collocated Observer Design and Boundary Output Feedback Stabilization for Magnetizable Piezoelectric Beam Model: Exponential Stability of the PDE Model and Uniform Exponential Stability of Its Finite-Difference Model
Abstract: This thesis presents a mathematical model for a magnetizable piezoelectric beam with free ends, described by partial differential equations (PDEs) that capture the complex interactions between longitudinal vibrations and charge dynamics. Moving beyond traditional collocated boundary control designs, the work proposes a non-collocated boundary controller and observer setup, facilitating state recovery and boundary output feedback control through observers positioned at opposite ends. The closed-loop system’s exponential stability, including both the observer and observer error dynamics, is rigorously established with an explicit decay rate, achieved using a carefully constructed Lyapunov function and the multipliers approach [1]. Additionally, the thesis develops a novel Finite Difference approximation using midpoints in uniform discretization and an average operator. This approximation retains exponential stability uniformly as the discretization parameter approaches zero. By employing a discretized Lyapunov function and discrete multipliers, the proof demonstrates that the decay rate is independent of the discretization parameter, ensuring that the Finite Difference approximation reflects the exponential stability properties of the original PDE model [2].

Title: Exponential Stability of the PDE Model for Heat and Piezoelectric Beam Interactions with Static or Hybrid Feedback Controllers and its Stability-Preserving Finite-Difference Model Reductions
Abstract:
This research investigates a strongly coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs) governing heat transfer in a copper rod, longitudinal vibrations, and charge accumulation at electrodes within a magnetizable piezoelectric beam, analyzed within a transmission line framework. The analysis reveals significant interactions at the contact point between traveling electromagnetic and mechanical waves in magnetizable piezoelectric beams, despite differences in wave velocities. Findings indicate that, in an open-loop configuration, the coupling between heat dynamics and beam vibrations alone does not ensure exponential stability when only thermal effects are considered. To address this, we propose two boundary feedback control designs at the right end of the piezoelectric beam: (i) a pair of static feedback controllers and (ii) a hybrid design combining a dynamic electrical controller with a static mechanical feedback controller to enhance system performance. An energy-equivalent Lyapunov function is constructed to satisfy Grönwall's inequality, supported by rigorous functional-analytic estimates, and system parameters are carefully selected to ensure exponential stability with an explicit decay rate.
Transitioning from the continuous PDE model, the study introduces a novel order-reduction-based Finite Difference (FD) approximation that incorporates midpoint discretization and average operators. This approach enables the construction of a discrete analog of the Lyapunov function used in the PDE model. By leveraging this discrete Lyapunov function we demonstrate exponential stability for the FD-approximated systems, preserving the exact decay rate of the original PDE model. Notably, this proof technique avoids the exhaustive spectral approach, which typically requires constructing the system's eigenvalues asymptotically or analytically. Instead, by mirroring the stability proof structure of the PDE model, this framework provides a rigorous basis for verifying the exponential stability of Finite Difference-based model reductions as the discretization parameter approaches zero. This method advances both theoretical understanding and practical applications for complex piezoelectric systems.

Critical Race Theory in Kentucky: What is it and why is it the "Bogeyman" in the classroom?
Panel discussion with moderator Dr. Andrew Rosa, Associate Professor, History, WKU; Dr. Jeffrey Budziak, Assistant Dean, Political Science; Dr. Sophia Arjana, Associate Professor, History and Dr. Amy Cappiccie, Professor, Social Work. Panelists will introduce and discuss Critical Race Theory and why the flurry of bills, resolutions, and other legislative actions have sparked debates over the role of teaching race in America. Panelists will reflect on whether the "problem" of Critical Race Theory truly exists in the classroom and the origins of these political movements to control school curriculum.

To most people, jazz funerals are a mystery.
In 2005, writer and videographer Deb Cotton leaves “hard-hearted Hollywood” for New Orleans, and becomes a chronicler of the parading club culture spawned by the legacy of funerals with music. This tradition is carried by the prolific clarinetist Michael White, renowned for playing “the widow’s wail” in sorrowful dirges. When Hurricane Katrina hits, White loses everything in the catastrophic flooding. In his struggle to rebuild, White becomes an everyman, embodying the resurrection spirit of jazz funerals.
Deb and Michael take us on a journey into the city’s past, searching for answers in the face of tragedies both present and past.
As Deb follows the parading culture through the aching recovery, Michael explores his ancestral roots in the dawn of jazz. The danced-memory of enslaved Africans charges a reimagining of antebellum Congo Square, juxtaposed with the grandeur of European marching bands. With burial pageants as a mirror on the city’s history, the film hits a violent turning point at a parade shooting, plunging Deb and Michael into a search for the city’s soul.
Free tickets are available at capitolbg.org. After the screening, a Q&A with filmmakers will be offered.

If you're interested in spending a year abroad FULLY FUNDED after you graduate, this info session is for you!
With the Fulbright US Student Program, you can (1) Teach English and American culture or (2) study for a postgraduate degree or (3) do an independent research or creative project in one of about 140 countries worldwide.
In this info session, presenters from the organization that administers the program and Fulbright alumni will cover possibilities and benefits of the Fulbright US Student Program, and then WKU folks will go into a breakout session with Dr. Grimsley, WKU's Fulbright Program Advisor, for Q&A.
