Department Colloquium: "The Event Horizon Telescope: Imaging and Time-Resolving a Black Hole"
Shep Doeleman (MIT) Hosted by James Aguirre
A convergence of high bandwidth radio instrumentation and Global mm and submm wavelength facilities are enabling assembly of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT): a short-wavelength Very Long Baseline Interferometry
*Special Seminar*:"Control of Nanoparticle Self-assemblies using Distorted Liquid Crystals”
Emmanuelle Lacaze (Institut de Nano-Sciences de Paris, Université Pierre et Marie Curie)
Directed assembly of nanoparticles is a promising alternative for original nanoparticle organizations. New kinds of optical properties are expected when semi-conductive or metallic nanoparticles are concerned. Using…
ABO Seminars: "Label-Free Intraoperative Optical Imaging of Breast Tumor Margins and the Microenvironment"
Stephen Boppart (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
Condensed Matter seminar: "Managing Energy Far From Equilibrium"
Carlos Ortiz, University of Pennsylvania
Meaningful advances in energy generation, utilization, or storage require exquisite control and optimization of the transport properties of materials far-from-thermal-equilibrium. Whether concerned with ion-…
Department Colloquium: "Spotting the Elusive Majorana Under the Microscope"
Ali Yazdani (Princeton University) Hosted by Eleni Katifori
Topological superconductors are a distinct form of matter that is predicted to host boundary Majorana fermions. The search for Majorana quasi-particles in condensed matter systems is motivated in part by their…
Dissertation Defense: "Theoretical Studies of Cosmic Acceleration"
James Stokes (UPenn)
High Energy Theory: New Frontiers in Particle Cosmology Pt.2
The purpose of this meeting is to bring together experts working at the interface of cosmology, string theory and particle physics for a few days of informal talks and exchanges of ideas. The schedule will allow…
ABO Seminars: "Noncontact Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy and Tomography of Deep Tissue Hemodynamics for Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring"
Guoqiang Yu (University of Kentucky)
Near-infrared diffuse correlation spectroscopy or tomography (DCS/DCT) is a relatively new techniques for measuring/imaging microvascular hemodynamics in a variety of deep/thick tissues. Most DCS/DCT measurements use…
