Astrophysics seminar: The James Webb Space Telescope: A New Era for Space Exploration
Mike McElwain (NASA)
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared
space telescope designed to transform space science by observing targets
from within our own Solar System to the first light in the Universe (and…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Critical points and Bifurcations integrate and amplify sensory information.
Ben Machta (Yale University)
Biological systems must integrate and amplify signals which are faint and insignificant at the level of individual sensory receptors. In this talk I will argue that organisms can use the diverging…

High Energy Theory Seminar: Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole DynamicsUri Kol (Harvard University)
Colloquium: Theia: Illuminating Neutrinos with a New Kind of DetectorJosh Klein (University of Pennsylvania)
High Energy Theory Seminar: "TBA"Lorenzo Ricci (University of Maryland)
Astrophysics Seminar: Near-field Cosmology with Stellar StreamsNora Shipp (Carnegie Mellon)Stellar streams, the tidal remnants of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies orbiting throughout the Milky Way’s halo, are some of the most powerful tools in the study of near-field cosmology. In particular, they are… Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: Optical neural networks for faster AI and super resolution imagingAlex Lvovsky (University of Oxford)Although machine intelligence is taking over the world, its current digital electronic platform is very inefficient in terms of energy consumption. Switching to analogue computation, which function more like human… © 2025 The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
