High Energy seminar: "Exploring nature with black holes and gravitational waves"
Sam Wong (University of Pennsylvania)
In this talk, we will explore the exciting world of black holes and gravitational waves and their role in our understanding of the universe. First predicted by Einstein's theory…

Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "The 'Who Ordered That' Collider"
Nathaniel Craig (University of California, Santa Barbara)
In this talk, I’ll survey some of the major open questions in particle physics and make the case that they can best be addressed by a qualitatively new type of particle accelerator: a high-energy muon…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Rough fitness landscapes: from protein evolution to protein design"
Francesco Zamponi (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS)
Rough (energy, or free energy, or fitness) landscapes are ubiquitous in disordered systems, from material science to biology. These landscapes feature a multitude of local energy minima…

Florent Baume (University of Hamburg)
Annual Strings and Geometry conference at Penn
Click on link for list of speakers
The conference is co-chaired by Mirjam Cvetic and Jonathan Heckman. It will center on topics in high energy theoretical physics and its intersection with geometry. The conference will take place in…
High Energy Theory seminar: "Type IIB flux compactifications with h^{1,1}=0"
Timm Wrase (Lehigh University)
After reviewing a few concepts of the swampland program, I revisit type IIB flux compactifications that are mirror dual to type IIA on rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. Recently, we found a variety of…
