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: Where is tree-level string theory? Abstract: Tree-level string theory extends Einstein gravity by an infinite set of massive higher spin particles. From a purely spacetime perspective (if we didn’t know about the worldsheet picture) the consistency of string amplitudes would appear truly miraculous. This prompts the question: is string theory the unique framework for a higher […]
Host: Jazzmin Victorin Title: “Emergent metallicity and superconductivity at oxide heterointerfaces” Abstract: Perovskite-structured complex oxides exhibit a diverse array of physical properties, including magnetism, superconductivity, ferroelectricity, and metal-insulator transitions. The electronic, structural, and magnetic interactions at interfaces formed between crystalline, atomically-thin layers of these materials lead to the emergence of novel phases. Advances in the […]
Alex Szalay will present on the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics/cosmology.
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.

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 […]
