Liang Wu (U Penn) "Novel nonlinear optical response in PT-invariant antiferromagnets"
We are fortunate to have Benjamin Wandelt from Sorbonne University visiting to present a special seminar on "AI-assisted discovery in cosmological physics." Professor Benjamin D. Wandelt obtained a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Imperial College, London. After research positions at the Niels Bohr Institute and Princeton University, and tenure at Illinois, he is now a Professor at […]
Department-wide colloquium Speaker: Alex Lupsasca (Vanderbilt) Title: "The Black Hole Photon Ring" Abstract: What does a black hole look like? The first images of the supermassive black hole M87* display a bright ring encircling the event horizon, which appears as a dark patch in its surrounding emission. But Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that within this […]
