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
Special Seminar - From viscous to elastic sheets: Dynamics of freely floating smectic films
Kirsten Harth, Otto-von-Guericke Universität Magdeburg
The dynamics of droplets and bubbles, particularly on microscopic scales, are of considerable importance in biological, environmental, and technical contexts. Soap bubbles, vesicles and components of biological cells…
