Measuring the Hubble Constant with Gravitational WavesThe first detection of binary neutron star merger by Advanced LIGO-Virgo and the discovery of the optical counterpart allowed for the first independent measurement of Hubble constant with gravitational waves. In this talk, I will summarize latest cosmological measurements with gravitational waves, and discuss the future aspects of them. I ...
A discussion of the growth and augmentation of work experience (time effect), the career socio-economic, cultural and regional impact (place effect), relates achieving career success to that of progression in human capabilities (people effect) is presented. Success can be measured in many different ways, and by a variety of criteria ...
As the AI revolution is poised to impact nearly every industry, as well as government, education, family, and social life, concerns are mounting about how training computers to think like us can amplify some of the worst parts of ourselves. Is our training data teaching machines to adopt human biases ...
Suppression of the exciton Bose condensate in TiSe2Cux by metallic screeningThe transition metal dichalcogenide semimetal 1T-TiSe2 exhibits a Bose condensate of excitons traditionally referred to as an “excitonic insulator†(though the material is not technically insulating) and highlighted as “excitonium†in the popular press. Using momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (M-EELS) experiments with meV energy resolution, we showed the experimental signature ...
Programmable proteins that detect and cut specific DNA sequences were uncovered by research to understand how bacteria fight viral infections. In collaboration with Emmanuelle Charpentier’s laboratory, we determined how the enzyme Cas9, which is part of CRISPR-Cas adaptive bacterial immunity, can be harnessed as a powerful technology to alter genomic ...
People and Robots SeminarDespite massive interest in self-driving cars, the problem of how to ensure the reliability and safety of intelligent autonomous systems remains unsolved. In this talk, I will discuss approaches to safe autonomy based on Algorithmic Improvisation, a framework for automatically synthesizing systems with random but controllable behavior. Algorithmic improvisation can ...

From Nonlinear Optics to High-Intensity Laser PhysicsThe laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude and helped usher in a new type of ...

Devices and Decisions for Smart Buildings This panel, moderated by Strategic Energy Alliance Executive Director Richard Sassoon, will feature organizations that seek to optimize when energy is consumed in order to improve building efficiency. Some of these organizations are developing new products, while others emphasize making smart choices as users of electricity.Panelists: Matt Duesterberg, CEO of ...
