Exoplanet Deep Interiors with JWSTObservations of exoplanetary atmospheres provide a valuable upper boundary condition for studying their interiors. The species that appear in transmission and emission spectra are formed from the composition of the uppermost convective region minus any condensates and after chemical reactions induced by the lower temperatures and pressures. As such, if ...
Shifting toward a circular economy for a sustainable future requires developing, optimizing, and diffusing water and resource recovery technologies. Transitioning these technologies from laboratory to commercial scale is a process that often spans years, if not decades. The conventional approach for biological resource recovery processes involves performing lab-scale experiments in ...

Surprises in the n-type cupratesThe n-type cuprates have long been considered the little cousin of the p-type cuprates, with an apparently simpler phase diagram dominated by antiferromagnetic correlations. Through angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies, we reveal that there are surprises and important insights to be learned from a prototypical n-type cuprate Nd2-xCexCuO4. In the ...
Pathogen Emergence at the Forest Edge: A One Health Approach to Understand SpilloverMy research investigates how anthropogenic forest change alters the ecology, evolution and transmission of zoonotic viruses. In this seminar, I will discuss longitudinal studies of unique communities of people and wildlife along the perimeters of accelerated forest loss in the Congo, Amazon and Mekong basin forests. This work investigates theory ...

On the many-body physics of embryonic development While the complexity and robustness of embryonic development are plain to see, a physicist might ask whether there are simple principles that underlie them. Can we ever have a “Theory†or is it just a matter of filling up repositories of data, tabulating what happens, but not why? Focusing on ...
Jeff Rissman will draw from his new book, Zero-Carbon Industry, exploring the pathways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector. Accounting for a third of global emissions when including purchased electricity and heat, decarbonizing the industrial sector is a key part of reaching nations’ net zero targets. The ...

Geologic Hydrogen - A Critical Part of a Net-Zero Strategy? - CANCELEDHydrogen is projected to play a significant if not crucial role in the future energy mix, with the IEA forecasting an increase of almost an order of magnitude compared to hydrogen consumption today. This increase is driven by the possible dual use of hydrogen: to provide a clean or green ...
Dark Energy was initially suggested as an explanation for the accelerated expansion of the cosmos, yet its true nature remains unknown. In this lecture, we will explore this mysterious aspect of the Universe alongside the human stories of discovery. We will begin by revisiting the discovery of the expanding Universe ...
