Condensed Matter Seminar: "Atomic Crystals with New Twists"
Jiwoong Park, Cornell University
Chiral materials possess left- and right-handed counterparts linked by mirror symmetry, with applications in physics, chemistry and biology. In atomic crystals such as graphene, chiral symmetry emerges naturally as a…
Astro Seminar: "Large-Scale Structure Tests of Galaxy Formation and Modified Gravity"
Ying Zu (Ohio State University).
I will present novel tests of galaxy formation theories and the nature of gravity, using large-scale structure measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). I will first introduce the iHOD model, a…
*Special* High Energy Seminar: "Monopole-antimonopole Creation and Other Numerical Studies"
Tanmay Vachaspati (Arizona State University)
I will describe magnetic monopoles, their properties, and recent numerical work on their creation from particles.
High Energy Theory: "TBA"
Tom Hartman (Cornell University)
Advances in Biomedical Optics Seminar: "Optical Diagnostics for Improved Pancreatic Disease Detection"
Mary-Ann Mycek (University of Michigan)
Pizza will be served at 11:45am.

FACULTY WORKING GROUP LECTURE
Carl Weiman (Stanford)
Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science has advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Guided primarily by tradition and dogma, the learning and teaching of these subjects meanwhile has remained…
Astro Seminar: "Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors for High Contrast Imaging"
Benjamin Mazin (UCSB)
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are superconducting detector arrays that can measure the energy and arrival time of individual optical through near-IR photons without read noise or dark current. I…
Math-Bio seminar: "Spatial statistics in bioimage analysis"
Thibault Lagache, Columbia University
New advances in fluorescence microscopy make possible the localization of thousands of molecules with nanometer resolution inside living cells. This calls for the development of new statistical tools in spatial…
High Energy Seminar: "TBA"
