Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: “Search for CP violation in neutrino oscillation by T2K and Hyper-Kamiokande”
Atsuko Ichikawa (Kyoto University)
Since the discovery of neutrino oscillation in 1998, an overall picture of the flavor-mass mixing in the lepton sector has been build.
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Understanding the role of phenotypic switching in cancer drug resistance"
Jasmine Foo (University of Minnesota)
Recent findings suggest that cancer cells can acquire transient resistant phenotypes via epigenetic modifications and other non-genetic mechanisms. Although these resistant phenotypes are eventually…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Exploring the space of (Super)Conformal Field Theories.
Mario Martone (Stony Brook University)
N=2 Superconformal Field Theories in four dimensions, represent an arena never ceasing to provide new and exciting results. I will start with an introduction motivating my study and introducing the basics…
Astronomy Seminar: Illuminating the halo-galaxy connection: from theory to observations
Antonio Montero-Dorta (Sao Paulo)
Understanding the complex relations between galaxies and their hosting dark-matter halos is important for theories of galaxy formation and evolution and for the extraction of cosmological…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Antagonistic motor protein dynamics in contractile ring structures"
Adriana Dawes (Ohio State University)
Ring-shaped contractile structures play important roles in biological processes including wound healing and cell division. Many of these contractile structures rely on motor proteins called myosins…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Nonperturbative structures in the SYK model
Mikhail Khramtsov (University of Pennsylvania)
In this talk I will give an overview of the work regarding aspects of the SYK model beyond the commonly used approximations, in particular the replica-diagonal assumption and the conformal limit. We will…
High Energy Experiment Seminar: Off the Beaten Track: Long-Lived Particles at the LHC
Tova Holmes (University of Tennessee)
The LHC has reached a new era: nearly a decade without any large jumps in energy or luminosity. For those interested in finding Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, a paradigm shift is required. In my…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Non-Hermitian Symmetry and Topology in Photonics "
Liang Feng (University of Pennsylvania)
Symmetry and topology are fundamental notions existing in all kinds of natural systems, from spiral galaxies and hurricanes to amino acids in molecules and non-trivial topologically protected electronic states in…
Astronomy Seminar: Science with XRISM: Resolving the Nature of the Energetic Cosmos
Koji Mukai (GSFC)
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), an international JAXA/NASA collaboration including participation from ESA, will be an advanced X-ray observatory capable of carrying out a science…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Modeling and measuring pattern formation in zebrafish skin"
Alexandria Volkening (Northwestern University)
Wild-type zebrafish (Danio rerio) are characterized by black and yellow stripes, which form on their body and fins due to the self-organization of thousands of pigment cells. Mutant zebrafish and sibling…
