Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are a primary engine of socioeconomic growth in the modern world. Electronic information processing and transmission are being further accelerated by the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The adoption of AI continues to expand at an unprecedented pace, driven by the exponential growth of ...
My research program applies established terrestrial approaches to marine conservation challenges, using an interdisciplinary approach to investigate and manipulate plant microbiomes for enhanced resilience against environmental stressors. Working primarily with Zostera marina (eelgrass) as a model, I extend these principles across seagrass meadows, mangroves, and saltwater marshes.Speaker: Gina Chaput, Sonoma ...
Bad metals exhibit approximately T-linear dc resistivity beyond the Ioffe - Regel limit. That this behavior occurs in systems with radically different ground states suggests it is a generic manifestation of strong local correlations. We test this hypothesis in the infinite-U Hubbard model with small hole densities using exact diagonalization ...
Axions are one of the most compelling answers to the question of what makes up the majority of the matter in the universe: the dark matter. Detecting axion dark matter is a challenge, due to the particle’s theorized tiny coupling to visible matter and its very low, unknown mass. To ...
GRAIL - the Green Artificial Intelligence Learning network - is a global collaboration platform, founded by the Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation, built to close the gap between two communities that rarely work together: the people building frontier AI and the people running the climate systems that need to decarbonise. ...
