Current and forthcoming sky surveys promise to deliver
datasets orders of magnitude better in quality and size than their
predecessors, but our ability to take advantage of these datasets is …
This talk will have two parts. The first part concerns the mechanical wave observed in the wound healing of zebrafish tailfin. Highly regenerative animals can regrow lost appendages and the rate of regrowth is…
Feebly interacting particles (FIPs), such as axions, scalars, dark photons, and majorons, are often theoretically well motivated, and a dark sector including one or more of them can both have the…
In the era of a wealth of data from the sky, new perspectives can lead to parametric improvements in discovery reach. I will discuss two ideas that make use of surprising properties of coherent radiation to open new…
A new window into the growth and evolution of large-scale structure has opened up with the recent observations of the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effects. I will…
