High Energy Seminar: "TBA"
Paolo Creminelli (ICTP)
Department Colloquium:"The Maps Inside Your Head"
Vijay Balasubramanian (UPenn) hosted by: Joe Kroll
How do our brains make sense of a complex and unpredictable world? In this talk, I will discuss a physicist's approach to the neural topography of information processing in the brain. First I will review the brain's…
Astro Seminar: "The New Ly-alpha Power Spectrum Measurements and constraints on WDM"
Vid Irsic (University of Washington)
With the X-Shooter XQ-100 Legacy survey, 100 QSO measurements at intermediate resolutions were available to measure the Lyman-alpha power spectrum in the similar redshift range to SDSS (z=3 - 4.2), but to smaller…
Dissertation Defense: Toric Elliptic Fibrations Over Hirzebruchs
Prashant Subbarao (UPenn)
Experimental Particle Physics: "Search for Supersymmetry in Events with Four or More Leptons at ATLAS "
Matthew Klein (Columbia University)
Math-Bio seminar: "Controlling the rate of false discoveries in tandem mass spectrum identifications"
Uri Keich, University of Sydney
A typical shotgun proteomics experiment produces thousands of tandem mass spectra, each of which can be tentatively assigned a corresponding peptide by using a database search procedure that looks for a peptide-…
High Energy Seminar: "Shaving off Black Hole Soft Hair"
Massimo Porrati (New York University)
After recalling a definition of a black hole "hair" we explain why the only interesting hairs are those that are also remnants. Next, we will examine a recent proposal by Hawking, Perry and Strominger, who suggest…
