Title: Polymer models for the prediction of 3D structure and transcription in human chromatin, Talk abstract: Transcription is a fundamental cellular process, and the first step of gene expression. In human cells, it depends on the binding to chromatin of various proteins, including RNA polymerases and numerous transcription factors (TFs). Observations indicate that these proteins […]
Hosted by JHU Gender Minorities & Women in Physics (G-WiP). Donna Strickland is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo and is one of the recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for developing chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourou, her PhD supervisor at the time.
Haim Beidenkopf (Weizmann Institute) condensed matter and biological physics seminar. Host: Peter Armitage
Black (hole) Coffee is a space for students, postdocs, and professors to discuss cutting-edge research on all things black holes, spanning both observations and theory.
Title: Dynamic Jahn-Teller effect and a multi-polar order in 5d double-perovskites, The properties of strongly correlated systems have been at the forefront of scientific research for many decades. Typically focused on 3d transition metal compounds, it was often enough to consider only two relevant energy scales, the hopping integral and on-site Coulomb repulsion. In recent […]
TITLE: Cosmological results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, ABSTRACT: A quarter-century after the discovery of the accelerated expansion of theuniverse, the constraints on dark energy that powers this acceleration havebecome very good, but physical nature of dark energy remains elusive. I willpresent and discuss cosmological results from the measurement of baryonacoustic oscillations (BAO) in […]
Condensed Mater & Biological Physics Seminar: Shenshen Wang (UCLA) Host: Brian Camley
ML x Astro/Cosmo meetings are geared towards discussing new methods/ideas at the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics/cosmology.

TITLE: Precision measurement in tabletop experiments, Abstract: Many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model predict small deviations from Standard Model behavior at low energy scales. We can search for such deviations by performing precision measurements in "tabletop" experiments. In this talk, I will describe some of the frontiers of research in this field. I […]
