Mathematical Biology seminar: "Multiscale inference and modeling of cell fate via single-cell data"
Qing Nie (University of California, Irvine)
Cells make fate decisions in response to dynamic environmental and pathological stimuli as well as cell-to-cell communications. Recent technological breakthroughs have enabled to gather data in…

Thesis Defense: “An Experimental and Computational Study of Pattern Formation in Insect Cuticle and a Novel Administration of a Sensemaking Instrument in Physics Education"
Stephen Hackler (University of Pennsylvania)
High Energy Experiment Seminar: Searching for the Supersymmetric Partner to the Top Quark at ATLAS: Don't Stop Believin'
Stephanie Majewski (University of Oregon)
The discovery of the stop — the Supersymmetric partner of the top quark — is a key goal of the ATLAS physics program enabled by the Large Hadron Collider. I will review the status of the search for direct…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Controlling quantum information in room-temperature, solid-state devices"
Lee Bassett (University of Pennsylvania)
Quantum science and technology rests on our understanding and control of matter and information at the smallest scales. Devices based on individual atoms or complexes of a few atoms represent the ultimate limit in a…

Mathematical Biology seminar: "Population Dynamics in Changing Environments"
Mark Lewis (University of Alberta)
Classical population dynamics problems assume constant unchanging environments. However, realistic environments fluctuate in both space and time. My lecture will focus on the analysis of population dynamics in…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Conformal Matter: A Bootstrap Story
Florent Baume (University of Pennsylvania)
Six-dimensional N=(1,0) SCFTs of geometric origin have been classified, but an understanding of the associated conformal data remains elusive. Moreover, it is not known if there exists SCFTs that do not…
