Fluctuating superconductivity on a partially flat band - LivestreamPhase coherence is considered to govern the superconducting Tc in underdoped cuprates. However on the overdoped side, magnetic and optical evidence of diminishing zero temperature superfluid density are mounting in La2CuO4 cuprates. We combine magnetic and thermodynamic probes with angle-resolved photoemission, and show evidence of superconducting fluctuation substantially above Tc ...
In 2019, New York passed a groundbreaking climate law, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The climate law codified Governor Cuomo’s climate vision, committing New York to among the most ambitious climate objectives in the world, including 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040 and an 85 percent reduction in ...

Overcoming Barriers to Engagement of Underrepresented Students in STEM PhD Programs - LivestreamThe level of participation by underrepresented minority (URM) and female students in STEM PhD programs is low: in physics and astronomy URMs earn only 6% of PhDs v. 30% in the general population; women earn only 20% of PhDs v. 50% in the general population. I present research into why ...

Slugs and Steins: From the Emergence of Planets to the Destiny of Black Holes - LivestreamThree most frequently asked big-picture questions by the general public are: 1) are we alone?, 2) what is going on inside black holes?, and 3) what happened before the big bang? While there is no shortage of philosophical speculation, scientifically-proven insights of these age-old profound and fundamental conundrums remain elusive. ...
