Ingo Waldmann (University College London) “Machine learning in exoplanet characterization”

Bloomberg 272 - Schafler Auditorium

Machine learning in exoplanet characterizationThe upcoming decade promises remarkable progress in our grasp of exoplanet formation, evolution, and an in-depth assessment of their climates and possible habitability. With the James Webb Space Telescope now in orbit, we're at the threshold of high-precision atmospheric studies of these distant worlds. This milestone, combined with forthcoming endeavours like […]

Host: Dan Beller Controlling chaotic advection in 2D active nematicsRecent years have seen a surge of interest in active materials, in which energy injected at the microscale gives rise to mesoscale coherent motion.  One prominent example is an active 2D "liquid crystal" composed of microtubules in the nematic phase.  The activity is generated by molecular […]

Joint JHU-UMD Particle Physics seminar – Steve Sclafani (University of Maryland)

on UMD campus

**Lunch at 12 noon** Title: Seeing the Milky Way Galaxy in High-Energy Neutrinos Abstract: Visible in the sky as a swath of stars, dust, and gas, the Galactic plane of the Milky Way has been observed in every wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to infrared, optical, x-rays, and gamma rays. IceCube has […]

Jason Hogan (Stanford) “Long baseline clock atom interferometry for gravitational wave and dark matter detection”

Bloomberg 272 - Schafler Auditorium

Department-wide colloquium, special day and time “Long baseline clock atom interferometry for gravitational wave and dark matter detection” Atom interferometry and atomic clocks continue to make impressive gains in sensitivity and time precision.  I will discuss the potential for using atomic sensors for gravitational wave detection and searches for dark matter.  Interest in this has […]
