A key challenge in solving the climate problem is the difficulty of estimating and verifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rates from energy systems around the world. In recent years, satellites have increasingly been used to detect methane emitted from oil and gas infrastructure, coal mines, landfills, and other sources. Some ...

Environmental Defense Fund and the Quest for a Sustainable Water Future for AllAnn Hayden will talk about the work of the Climate Resilient Water Systems team at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and their quest for a sustainable water future for all. Under her leadership, the Water team is focused on rebalancing water systems across the arid U.S., India and China, so that ...
The screened Coulomb interaction is a central quantity in condensed matter, which determines critical properties of materials. The formation of bound excitons, Cooper pairs, and exotic states of matter, all depend on the strength of the interaction between electrons and holes, which is screened by the surrounding medium. The vast ...
Synergistic Enhancer Networks Revealed by Live-Cell 3D Chromatin Imaging and PerturbationThe 3D genome plays a critical role in regulating transcription, cellular functions, and diseases. We explore innovative technologies for perturbing the 3D genome organization and imaging interaction between regulatory elements in real-time. We systematically perturb enhancers and reveal a synergistic enhancer network that regulate oncogene expression. Genome profiling confirms that ...
Cosmological and astrophysical measurements provide clear evidence for the existence of dark matter, and in recent years they have started to map dark matter over large volumes of the cosmos - but we still do not know the mass or interaction properties of the dark matter particle(s?). I will describe ...
California electricity rates are among the highest in the nation. Over the last decade, ratepayers have funded significant, new wildfire mitigation activities and recovery costs. For the average PG&E residential customer, these costs represent about a quarter of their bill today. New costs, including to support rapid electrification and modernizing ...

Reimagining the Exploration of Fundamental Interactions with AIParticle, nuclear, and astrophysics experiments are producing massive amounts of data to answer fundamental questions about the basic constituents of our universe. While researchers in these areas have been using advanced data science tools for decades, modern machine learning has introduced a paradigm shift whereby data can be directly analyzed ...
