TITLE: New perspectives on the cold neutral interstellar medium: from the Milky Way to nearby galaxies, ABSTRACT: The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) is a vital player in the star formation process, based on its major contribution to the ISM's mass, and bears the brunt of the stellar feedback. In particular, the diffuse ISM is not […]
Title: Local Probes of Spin Excitations in Quantum Matter, Abstract: Major scientific discoveries are often enabled by new measurement capabilities that provide novel perspectives into complex physical problems. Recent advances and discoveries made on quantum materials have challenged experimentalists to come up with new ways to probe their intrinsic properties. In this talk I will […]
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: Viable qubits in noisy and strongly interacting systems, ABSTRACT: Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems, quantum analogs of classical bits assuming binary values ‘0' or ‘1'. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of ‘0’ and ‘1’ persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescription to avoid decoherence of solid-state […]
Theoretical approaches to cosmic tensions, Abstract: The Hubble and weak-lensing S8 tensions in cosmology perhaps hint at new physics beyond LCDM. I have extensively investigated these anomalies, proposing the early dark energy (EDE) solution to the Hubble tension. Although EDE has had some successes, there are challenges yet - improving EDE's underlying fundamental model, constraining […]
Order from disorder: Designing sequence-programmable protein condensates, Abstract: Biology provides numerous examples of phase-separated protein and nucleic acid condensates, which establish distinct compartments for spatially organizing biomolecules within living cells. This mechanism of spatial organization relies on the ability of biomolecular systems to navigate high-dimensional phase diagrams by tuning the interactions among proteins and […]
Title:Searching for neutrinoless double beta decay with CUORE and CUPID Abstract: We do not know whether neutrinos are their own antiparticle. Neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay is a theorized radioactive decay process that would prove that neutrinos are their own antiparticle, and it would also be the first observation of lepton number violation. The discovery of this […]
