Astronomy seminar: "Accretion in the Shadow of M87"
Joey Neilsen (Villanova University)
With the Event Horizon Telescope’s groundbreaking detection of the shadow of the supermassive black hole in M87, we have entered a new era of black hole astrophysics. After presenting the first results from the EHT,…
High Energy Theory seminar: "Boundary conditions, zero modes, and spacetime entropy"
James Sully, University of British Columbia
How do we describe the local Hilbert space of a continuum field theory? And does this have lessons to teach us about the emergence of spacetime in AdS/CFT? I will describe how to define the Hilbert space of an…
ADVANCES IN BIOMEDICAL OPTICS 2019 SEMINAR SERIES: “Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy to Elucidate Mechanisms of Brain Injury"
Erin Buckley, Emory University
Pizza will be served at 11:45 am
*These seminars are supported by the Biomedical Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory, the Center for Magnetic Resonance and Optical Imaging, the Department of Radiology…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Control of light-matter interaction in 2D materials"
Vinod Menon, The City College of New York
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials have emerged as a very attractive class of optoelectronic material due to the unprecedented strength in its interaction with light. In this talk I will discuss approaches…
Experimental Particle Physics Seminar: "Latest results from KOTO"
Brian Beckford, University of Michigan
Astronomy seminar: "Integrated approach to cosmology"
Andrina Nicola (Princeton/ETH)
Recent progress in observational cosmology and the establishment of ΛCDM have relied on the combination of different cosmological probes. These probes are not independent, since they all measure the same physical…
SPECIAL MEAM/MSE SEMINAR: "Scalable functional phase change materials for displays and photonic non-von Neumann computing"
Harish Bhaskaran, University of Oxford, UK; Co-founder of Bodle Technologies
Talk Abstract: In electronics, doping silicon results in one of the most versatile functional materials ever employed. The pursuit of such functional materials in the optical domain is an area of great…
Special Condensed Matter seminar: "Topological materials science"
Claudia Felser (Director, Max Planck Institute Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden)
Topology, a mathematical concept, recently became a hot and truly transdisciplinary topic in condensed matter physics, solid state chemistry and materials science.
