Thesis Defense: "Towards Precision Measurements of the Optical Depth to Reionization using 21 cm Data and Machine Learning"
Tashalee Billings (University of Pennsylvania)
High Energy seminar: "A Puncture in the Euclidean Black Hole"
Yoav Zigdon (Ben-Gurion University)
We study a black hole in string theory which is described by an exact worldsheet conformal field theory (CFT). In Euclidean signature, the radial-time part of its geometry is described by a shrinking…
Thesis Defense: "Bismuth and Vanadium Selenides: Towards Spintronic Applications "
Sarah Friedensen (University of Pennsylvania)
Zoom: Meeting ID: 932 2426 5613

HET Seminar: "TBA"
Katie Freese (University of Texas)
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "First Results from the Muon g-2 Experiment at Fermilab’s Muon Campus"
Chris Polly (Fermilab)
The much anticipated initial results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab’s Muon Campus were released last year. The new determination of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment is in good…
HET Seminar: "Effective Geometry, Complexity, and Universality"
Adam Brown (Stanford)
This talk will be based on arXiv:2111.12700 and arXiv:2112.0572.
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Phase Separation Inside Cells "
Ned Wingreen (Princeton University)
Biologists have recently come to appreciate that eukaryotic cells are home to a multiplicity of non-membrane bound compartments, many of which form and dissolve as needed for the cell to function.…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Explore topological physics and optical computing in synthetic dimensions"
Shanhui Fan (Stanford University)
The physics of a photonic structure is commonly described in terms of its apparent geometric dimensionality. On the other hand, with the concept of synthetic dimension, it is in…
Astronomy Seminar: "21-cm Cosmology at a Crossroads"
Rennan Barkana (Tel Aviv/IAS)
Radio waves from high redshift are expected to show a rich signal due to the 21-cm line of intergalactic hydrogen. After years of theoretical…
