Night Skies in the Observatory: "How to find another Earth … Nearby"
Professor James Aguirre (UPenn)
In the last twenty years, the notion that planets exist outside our solar system has moved from informed speculation to hard, observational science. James will discuss how we find planets outside the solar system,…
Dissertation Defense: "Nano/Biosensors Based on Large Area Graphene"
Pedro Ducos (UPenn)
Experimental Particle Physics: "TBA"
Alessandro Tricoli (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
High Energy Seminar: "Entanglement, Gravity, and Quantum Error Correction"
Xi Dong (IAS)
Over the last few years it has become increasingly clear that there is a deep connection between quantum gravity and quantum information. The connection goes back to the discovery that black hole entropy is given by…
"Sounds of Silent: Listening to the Universe with Gravitational Waves”
Prof. Dr. Alessandra Buonanno, Director at Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Head of the division Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity
Department Colloquium: "The New Era of Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astrophysics"
Alessandra Buonanno (MPI Munich) hosted by Justin Khoury
The detection by LIGO of gravitational waves emitted by coalescing binary black holes heralded a new era in physics and astrophysics. I will review the theoretical work aimed at solving the two-body problem in…
Experimental Particle Physics: "TBA"
Allison McCarn (University of Michigan)
Math-Bio seminar: "Robust and scalable inference of population history from hundreds of unphased whole-genomes"
Jonathan Terhorst, University of California, Berkeley
It has recently been demonstrated that inference methods based on genealogical processes with recombination can reveal past…
ADVANCES IN BIOMEDICAL OPTICS SEMINAR: "High-resolution Imaging of Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism and Hemodynamic Responses"
Sava Sakadzic (Harvard)
The understanding of the cortical oxygen delivery and consumption on the microvascular scales may have profound implications for evaluating microvascular oxygen delivery capacity to support cerebral tissue metabolism…
