Astronomy Seminar: Detection and Characterization of M-dwarf Planets with Next Generation Instruments
Guðmundur Kári Stefánsson (Princeton)
Abstract: Planets orbiting nearby M-dwarfs—the most numerous stars in the galaxy and our nearest stellar neighbors—are advantageous for detailed characterization. The…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Boolean Networks: discrete dynamical models of high-dimensional nonlinear systems"
Jordan Rozum (Pennsylvania State University)
Boolean networks are a common modeling tool for studying the phenotypic changes that cells undergo in response stimuli. Examples include cell differentiation during embryogenesis, metastasis of…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Anomalies and Emergent Symmetries on the Lattice and in the Continuum
Shu-Heng Shao (IAS)
We consider various standard and exotic lattice models, and deform them using an approach generalizing the Villain formulation. The new lattice models exhibit many properties that were thought to be…

Annual Diversity Seminar Website Event: "Cultivating Equity-Focused Institutional Change in University STEM Departments"
Gina Quan (San José State University)
Discipline-based education research has made great strides in understanding how to foster more equitable and effective teaching in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, there still has…
Astronomy Seminar: The First Flight of SPIDER: A view to the dawn of time from above the clouds
Jeffrey Filippini (University of Illinois)
Inflation is thought to have seeded the cosmos with a hum of primordial gravitational waves - unique messengers from the universe's earliest moments. If present, these should have left a unique "B-…

High Energy Theory Seminar: Illuminating the Early Universe with Dark Matter Minihalos
Adrienne Erickcek (UNC)
As remnants of the earliest stages of structure formation, the smallest dark matter halos provide a unique probe of the evolution of the Universe prior to the onset of Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN…
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: "Non-thermal pathways to quantum matter "
Martin Claassen (University of Pennsylvania)
Quantum materials host a wide range of phenomena that challenge our physical understanding while offering intriguing possibilities for next-generation technologies. A promising direction towards…
