Dissertation Defense: TRACK RECONSTRUCTION AND SEARCHING FOR MASSIVE, LONG-LIVED CHARGED PARTICLES AT ATLAS

Abraham Kahn

High Energy Theory Seminar: Testing Beyond Slow-Roll Inflation Across Large and Small Cosmic Scales

Matteo Braglia (NYU)

Inflation is widely recognized as the leading theory for explaining the origin of the Big Bang. While the simplest slow-roll models predict a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial density perturbations,…

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…

Physics of Soft Matter: Self-Assembling, Responsive, Smart (and Squishy!)
