Cybersecurity in private enterprise is as much about relationships as technology. In this session, Hakeem Oseni will share strategies for using diplomacy and personality to achieve good security outcomes. We will discuss tips and tricks for leveraging interpersonal and emotional skills and stories to win people over and make them feel part of ...
A Century of Better Sampling: Ocean Data Collection from Boundary Layer to Basin ScalesOceanographer Walter Munk famously declared the first century of oceanography “A century of under sampling.†And while ocean data collection is still a real pain, I hope, in this talk, to inspire some optimism for the century to come. I will begin by discussing my doctoral work, which relied on ...

Electronic order and unconventional phase behavior in new classes of kagome metalsKagome networks have long been predicted to host an interesting combination of features within their electronic band structures, ranging from localized flat bands to protected Dirac points to saddle points and their corresponding Van Hove singularities. Tuning band filling near these features is predicted to stabilize a wide array of ...
As the most recently discovered fundamental particle, the Higgs Boson offers a promising window into the nature of our universe. One special avenue of study is in measuring how the Higgs Boson interacts with itself. The Higgs bosons’ self-interactions carry important implications about both the microscopic and macroscopic behavior of our ...

Tracking the motion of electrons, atoms, and molecules in strong laser fieldsExcitation of atoms and molecules by intense ultrafast lasers produces quantum tunneling of several electrons on femtosecond timescales, which can lead to attosecond electron bursts and coulomb explosions. I’ll describe our recent experiments that detect and film this motion to reveal the underlying physics.Speaker: Philip Bucksbaum, Stanford University
China’s development institutions have played a role in financing over 39GW of currently operating overseas coal power plants, largely in South and Southeast Asia and commissioned within the past two decades. Early retirement of these plants will likely require concessional financing to reduce the cost to investors and address the ...

Nanobody Optimization via Machine LearningNanobodies are antibody fragments that mimic human’s natural immune response to diseases; unlike traditional small-molecule drugs, nanobodies rarely induce toxic side effects. Moreover, because nanobodies are smaller than antibodies, nanobodies can cross the blood-brain barrier and have shown promise in treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. However, the ...
