Space@Hopkins is excited to invite you to our upcoming Seed Grant Symposium, on Tuesday, April 29 in Olin Hall Room 305 on the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus. This event will highlight recent innovative research supported by Space@Hopkins Seed Grants, with a series of brief “flash talks” from recipients representing a range of divisions across the […]
Title: Flowing behind the horizon, Abstract: Considering an analytic continuation of holographic Renormalization Group flows opens up the possibility of defining a monotonic a-function along all the flow, including the region behind the horizon. While the precise field-theoretical interpretation of such a monotonic function is an open question, holographically, thermal RG flows offer a natural […]
Title: Tracing light: on Linear and Nonlinear Terahertz Polaritonics in Quantum Paraelectrics, Abstract: The advancement of high-speed data processing and signal manipulation technologies has pushed the frontier into the terahertz (THz) frequency range, raising a fundamental challenge: how to efficiently control electromagnetic fields at these frequencies. This issue, often referred to as the "THz gap" in optical and […]
Talk #1: Ruoxi Wang Title: Simulation study of CUPID sensitivity to low-energy solar neutrinos Abstract: Detecting low-energy solar neutrinos through charge current (CC) interactions is a unique channel to examine various models in particle physics and solar physics, such as non-standard neutrino-matter interactions and the Standard Solar Model (SSM). While efforts to measure the solar neutrino interactions […]

Title: Topological defects in liquid crystals, Abstract: I will present an introduction to the theory of topological defects in materials, giving an intuitive overview of homotopy theory and exploring how it is used to understand physically (and often visually!) observable quasiparticles. I will focus primarily on nematic liquid crystals, while highlighting analogous phenomena in other […]
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: "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 […]
Title: Topological Resummation in Quantum Gravity, Abstract: The gravitational path integral remains one of the most elusive constructs in quantum gravity, particularly in regimes dominated by topological fluctuations. In this talk, I will present recent progress in Jackiw–Teitelboim (JT) gravity, where the sum over geometries can be made precise. We demonstrate that in a low-temperature […]
