High Energy Experiment Seminar: Searching for the Supersymmetric Partner to the Top Quark at ATLAS: Don't Stop Believin'
Stephanie Majewski (University of Oregon)
The discovery of the stop — the Supersymmetric partner of the top quark — is a key goal of the ATLAS physics program enabled by the Large Hadron Collider. I will review the status of the search for direct…
Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: "Controlling quantum information in room-temperature, solid-state devices"
Lee Bassett (University of Pennsylvania)
Quantum science and technology rests on our understanding and control of matter and information at the smallest scales. Devices based on individual atoms or complexes of a few atoms represent the ultimate limit in a…

Mathematical Biology seminar: "Population Dynamics in Changing Environments"
Mark Lewis (University of Alberta)
Classical population dynamics problems assume constant unchanging environments. However, realistic environments fluctuate in both space and time. My lecture will focus on the analysis of population dynamics in…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Conformal Matter: A Bootstrap Story
Florent Baume (University of Pennsylvania)
Six-dimensional N=(1,0) SCFTs of geometric origin have been classified, but an understanding of the associated conformal data remains elusive. Moreover, it is not known if there exists SCFTs that do not…
Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: “Search for CP violation in neutrino oscillation by T2K and Hyper-Kamiokande”
Atsuko Ichikawa (Kyoto University)
Since the discovery of neutrino oscillation in 1998, an overall picture of the flavor-mass mixing in the lepton sector has been build.
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Understanding the role of phenotypic switching in cancer drug resistance"
Jasmine Foo (University of Minnesota)
Recent findings suggest that cancer cells can acquire transient resistant phenotypes via epigenetic modifications and other non-genetic mechanisms. Although these resistant phenotypes are eventually…
High Energy Theory Seminar: Exploring the space of (Super)Conformal Field Theories.
Mario Martone (Stony Brook University)
N=2 Superconformal Field Theories in four dimensions, represent an arena never ceasing to provide new and exciting results. I will start with an introduction motivating my study and introducing the basics…
Astronomy Seminar: Illuminating the halo-galaxy connection: from theory to observations
Antonio Montero-Dorta (Sao Paulo)
Understanding the complex relations between galaxies and their hosting dark-matter halos is important for theories of galaxy formation and evolution and for the extraction of cosmological…
Mathematical Biology seminar: "Antagonistic motor protein dynamics in contractile ring structures"
Adriana Dawes (Ohio State University)
Ring-shaped contractile structures play important roles in biological processes including wound healing and cell division. Many of these contractile structures rely on motor proteins called myosins…
