I will discuss how causality can be used to place bounds on higher derivative corrections to Einstein Maxwell theory. Scattering probe photons off of charged shock waves, we obtain new constraints on the Wilson…

On large scales the Universe is well described by a cosmological model where matter primarily comprises cold dark matter (CDM), a single collision-less particle species with negligible primordial thermal dispersion.…

Abstract: Soft robots have the potential to adapt their morphology and behavioral control policy to changing tasks and environments. Inspired by the dynamic plasticity of living materials and general adaptability of…

I will exhibit a class of effective field theories that have hierarchically small Wilson coefficients for operators that are not protected by symmetries but are not finely tuned. These theories possess bounded target…

This talk will discuss two projects.  The first concerns topological insulator/magnet samples made by mechanical stacking of exfoliated van der Waals flakes.  The proximity interaction of the magnet with the…
