Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Investigating order parameter dynamics and control in quantum materials using terahertz spectroscopy"
Richard Averitt (UC San Diego)
Dynamics and control of quantum materials using light has emerged as a frontier research area. There are numerous possibilities to investigate including photoinduced metastability, creating…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Designer quantum materials for new sensing paradigms"
Shengxi Huang , Penn State
Emerging quantum materials, such as novel two-dimensional (2D) materials and topologically nontrivial materials, have gained increasing…
High Energy seminar: "Far forward neutrino detectors at the high luminosity LHC"
Dr. Milind Diwan (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a cavern with the space and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider during the High Luminosity…
DIP x PSPDG Workshop: Science Policy for Physicists!
Diversity and Inclusion in Physics at Penn (DIP) is hosting the Penn Science Policy and Diplomacy Group (PSPDG) for a specially curated workshop, Science Policy for Physicists on…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Information bottleneck approaches to representation learning"
David Schwab (CUNY)
Extracting relevant information from data is crucial for all forms of learning. The information bottleneck (IB) method formalizes this, offering a mathematically precise and conceptually appealing…
Special Seminar: “Data-Driven Cosmology with the Next Generation of CMB and Galaxy Surveys”
Mathew Madhavacheril (Perimeter Institute)
Ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments are now pushing into discovery space where new insights on inflation, dark matter, dark energy and neutrino physics will be obtained…
High Energy seminar: "Embracing both Wigner and `t Hooft in matrix models of 2D gravity"
Clifford V. Johnson (USC)
The main purpose of this talk is to urge us to more carefully consider how random matrix models capture theories of 2D gravity. The key is to emphasize a Wignerian view alongside the more…
