HEP-Astro Seminar | Tuning into Cosmic Neutrinos at High Elevation: Stephanie Wissel (Penn State)
Feb 24 15:00 - 16:00. Workshop / Seminar. West Hall

Neutrinos are the ideal messenger for high-energy astrophysics. Weakly interacting and uncharged, they propagate undeterred and unabsorbed through the universe. In the last decade, the IceCube experiment has brought us the discovery of a flux of high-energy, TeV-scale neutrinos and through a multi-messenger lens — the combined observations of neutrinos and other messengers like photons — we are starting to see hints of energetic neutrino sources for the first time. At higher energies still, bey ...

STeMS Speaker Series | Emotion AI in the Future of Work: Nazanin Andalibi, University of Michigan
Feb 24 16:00 - 17:30. Lecture / Discussion. Tisch Hall

Emotion AI, increasingly used in mundane (e.g., entertainment) to high-stakes (e.g., education, healthcare, workplace) contexts, refers to technologies that claim to algorithmically recognize, detect, predict, and infer emotions, emotional states, moods, and even mental health status using a wide range of input data. While emotion AI is critiqued for associated scientific validity, bias, and surveillance concerns, it continues to be patented, developed, and used without public debate, resistance ...

Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series: "Designer Proteins for Cell Signaling," with Rubul Mout, Ph.D.
Feb 24 15:30 - 16:30. Workshop / Seminar. Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)

Designer Proteins for Cell Signaling Abstract: Over the years, I worked on designing ‘brand new’ (de novo) protein complexes—ordered and disordered—using computational tools such as Rosetta. I created large symmetric protein assemblies through the rigid helical fusion of smaller protein chains and later expanded this approach to design disordered system-wide protein networks with unique mechano-fluidic properties inside and outside of cells. Using these de novo protein complexes, I deve ...

Quantum Research Institute Seminar | Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics on Quantum Simulators: From Ergodicity Breaking to Quantum Metrology: Jacob Lin
Feb 27 11:00 - 12:00. Workshop / Seminar. West Hall

Abstract: The development of quantum computers and simulators has opened new avenues for studying nonequilibrium quantum many-body dynamics through quantum simulation. In this talk, I will discuss how quantum simulation has deepened our understanding of quantum many-body chaos, thermalization, and their breakdown, with a focus on ergodicity breaking due to quantum many-body scar states. I will then discuss a recently proposed nonequilibrium quantum phase—strong-to-weak spontaneous symmet ...

The soccer model, stochastic ordering and martingale transport: Wenpin Tang/ Columbia
Feb 26 17:00 - 18:00. Workshop / Seminar. East Hall

Tournaments are competitions between a number of participants, the outcome of which determines the relative strength or rank of each participant. In many cases, the strength of a participant in the tournament is given by a score. Perhaps, the most striking mathematical result on the tournament is Moon’s theorem, which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a feasible score sequence via majorization. To give a probabilistic interpretation of Moon’s result, Aldous and Kolesnik introduce ...
