Quantum Limited Thermal and Thermoelectric Transport in GrapheneIn low-dimensional systems, a growing number of many-body quantum phenomena have emerged from the combination of reduced dimensionality, strong interactions, and topology. Thermal and thermoelectric transport, which is sensitive to energy- and entropy-carrying degrees of freedom, provides a discriminating probe of emergent excitations in quantum materials. In this talk, I ...
In this talk, I will cover a few recent papers and projects that focus on the measurement of emissions and the costs, benefits, and opportunities associated with a transition to sustainable, deeply decarbonized, and equitable energy systems is needed in the United States. For example, in [1], we show that ...

The Motions of Stars and Gas in Disk GalaxiesStudies of disk galaxies, like our own Milky Way, are foundational to our current understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. Studies of their rotational motions provided one of the first pieces of evidence for the existence of dark matter. I will discuss similar kinematic measurements we use to understand their ...
The past has left its traces on the world, and we only have to know how to read themAnimals arose over five hundred million years ago, and by the end of the Cambrian had diversified into today’s phylum-level forms. This early history is obscured by the fact that the first animals were soft-bodied and left only enigmatic fossils. Here we take a comparative genomic approach to inferring the ...
