Condensed Matter seminar: "Optical Tools for Unraveling Whole-brain Neuronal Circuit Dynamics Underlying Behavior "
Alipasha Vaziri, Rockefeller University
Optical technologies have been transformative for our current understanding of structure and function of neuronal circuits underlying behavior and are in many cases the limiting factors for pushing our understanding…
HE Experimental Physics: "Results from the DUNE 35-ton Prototype Detector"
Jonathan Insler (Drexel University)
The 35 ton prototype for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) far detector was a single phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC) integrated detector that took cosmics data for a six week run…
Math-Bio seminar: "Structured latent factor models to recover interpretable networks from transcriptomic data"
Barbara Engelhardt, Princeton University
Latent factor models have been the recent focus of much attention in "big data" applications because of their ability to quickly allow the user to explore the underlying data in a controlled and interpretable way…
High Energy Seminar: "Entanglement, Holography and Causal Diamonds"
Michal Heller (Perimeter Institute)
Department Colloquium: "Perturbation and Control of Human Brain Network Dynamics"
Danielle Bassett (UPenn), Hosted by: Andrea Liu
The human brain is a complex organ characterized by heterogeneous patterns of interconnections. New non-invasive imaging techniques now allow for these patterns to be carefully and comprehensively mapped in…
Condensed Matter seminar: "Unusual Fluctuations and Absorbing States"
Dov Levine, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
Absorbing state models are far-from-equilibrium many-body systems which exhibit a phase transition with characteristics similar to those of a continuous equilibrium transition. One major difference, however, which…
Astro Seminar: "Cosmology Constrains the Standard Model and Beyond!
Amol Upadhye (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Neutrinos are Standard Model particles whose mass splittings are known, but whose absolute mass scale remains a mystery. Cosmology provides the best upper bound on the sum of masses, 0.23 eV, a number intriguingly…
"From flowing complex fluids to multilayer networks of knotted nematic colloids”
Uros Tkalec, University of Maribor and Jozef Stefan Institute
