SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Aubin\, Ph.D.\, associate professor of physics at Fordham University\, will present\, “Established 1936: The particle that began and could end the Standard Model.” \nDuring the 20th century\, there was an explosion of new particles discovered\, so many that it took decades for physicists to formulate what is now known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics (the most successful physical theory in current history). This explosion began with the tiny spark that is the muon — a heavy cousin of the electron — because it was the first completely unexpected particle that led I.I. Rabi to quip\, “Who ordered that?” Since then\, the muon has played a vital role in high energy physics to understand how the Standard Model works and more recently\, to search for physics beyond the Standard Model: new physics yet to be understood. I will give a brief history of the muon while then focusing on current studies of this subatomic particle to find out if we can break this fundamental theory of particle physics.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation from Ben Coco\, a physics student in Fordham’s Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, as he presents “Galactic Archaeology at Notre Dame” and “We are all star stuff\, but what about the stuff stars can’t make?” \nAll of the elements through iron can be formed in stars\, but what about the heavier elements? This is where galactic archaeology comes in\, the field of research on how the Milky Way formed. Globular clusters are regions of space that are densely filled with stars. The heavier elements are known as neutron capture elements and currently only have one confirmed source\, binary-neutron star mergers. However\, in a recently submitted paper to The Astrophysical Journal\, Evan Kirby found a relationship in globular cluster M92 that showed there has to be a second source of neutron capture elements. \nCoco’s research over the summer was in globular cluster M15 to investigate the origins of neutron capture elements to see if we would confirm this relationship or learn that globular cluster formation is unique to each globular cluster.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Johannes Flick\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, City College of New York\, will present\, “First-Principle Approaches to Strong Light-Matter Coupling in Molecular and Extended Systems.” \nIn recent years\, research at the interface of material science\, chemistry\, and quantum optics has surged and now offers new possibilities to study light-matter interactions. The combination of theoretical concepts from these fields presents an opportunity to create a predictive theoretical and computational approach from first principles that describes the correlated dynamics of electrons\, nuclei\, and the electromagnetic field on the same quantized footing. \nIn this talk\, Flick will discuss how density-functional theory can be generalized to quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT) and show how new exchange-correlation potentials arise. We discuss the linear-response theory for QEDFT to access excited state properties of such systems\, the emerging ab initio lifetimes\, and the incorporation of losses. By considering electrons\, nuclei\, and photons on the same quantized footing\, we find polaritonically induced vibrational mode mixing\, cavity-modulated molecular motion of molecules in optical cavities\, as well as new light-matter correlated observables for a new type of spectroscopy. Further\, we use this novel framework to study how chemical reactivity is altered in this regime\, by studying the modification of potential-energy surfaces under strong light-matter coupling. Beyond molecular systems\, we will discuss how strong light-matter coupling can be used to make nonlinear phonon processes more efficient and discuss first principle methods to characterize novel single-photon emitters.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Dennis Marks\, Ph.D.\, professor emeritus\, Department of Physics\, Astronomy\, Geosciences and Engineering Technology at Valdosta State University\, will present “Geometry: From Fordham Prep to the Cosmos.” \nRelativity is expressed geometrically\, but quantum mechanics is expressed in terms of matrices. Geometric algebra expresses geometrical elements as matrices\, thereby providing a common mathematical language for both relativity and quantum mechanics. The kind of matrix—dyreal\, real\, complex\, quaternionic\, or dyquaternionic—depends only on the metric signature “s” (the number of spatial dimensions minus the number of temporal dimensions). The rank of the matrix depends only on “n” (the total number of dimensions\, spatial plus temporal). Geometric algebras are periodic in “s”\, but recursive in “n”\, thereby providing a way for larger geometries to grow from smaller geometries—either the Euclidean plane or the Minkowskian plane. \nQubits are unit vectors in the Euclidean plane\, whose eigenvalues are the bits\, +1 and -1. The dot product of two qubits gives the Bell correlation between them. The direct product of the geometric algebras of the two planes is the geometric algebra of 4-d space-time\, with vectors (space-time)\, bi-vectors (spin-area)\, tri-vectors (momentumenergy)\, and 4-volume (action) that satisfy the Heisenberg (anti-) Commutation Relations as a consequence of the anti-commutativity of the basis vectors. The next four dimensions are compact and have the symmetries of the standard model of physics. After eight dimensions\, the pattern of geometric algebras repeats\, leading to an exponentially expanding 4-d space-time lattice with the physics of the standard model of physics at each node of the lattice. Thereafter\, the universe continues growing in complexity from the bottom up.

SUMMARY:Screening and Discussion: How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story
DESCRIPTION:The Fordham Gaelic Society invites you to a screening of the award-winning documentary How to Defuse a Bomb: The Project Children Story. \nThis powerful feature film celebrates the unsullied hard work and dedication of the Project Children charity and one of its founding members\, Denis Mulcahy\, a two-time Nobel Peace Prize winner\, and retired and highly decorated member of the NYPD’s bomb squad. \nNarrated by Liam Neeson and directed by Des Henderson\, the film documents the pursuit of reconciliation in Northern Ireland through the medium of its children. Offering more than 24\,000 children a six-week summer reprieve from the intrinsic\, sectarian violence of “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland\, this extraordinary tale resonates with all that is good in this world. \nA meet and greet with Mulcahy will be held at 6 p.m. before the ceremony\, and a short Q+A will follow the screening. Highly-ranked Irish diplomats will also be in attendance.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation from David Adipietro\, a mechanical engineering student in Fordham’s Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, will present “SpaceX.” \nSpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today\, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible\, aiming to enable human life on Mars. Adipietro has recently accepted a position as an integration and test engineer for SpaceX. He will offer insight into the application and interview process\, internships\, desired candidate attributes\, and future goals.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Tinker\, Ph.D.\, associate professor of physics at NYU\, will present “The History of the Universe from 1919 to Today.” \nFrom the Speaker:\nI will review some of the fundamental observations that have led us to the understanding that the universe is not only expanding but that this expansion is currently accelerating. I will begin with the observational tests of Einstein’s general relativity\, move on to dense star clusters seen in the halo of the milky way galaxy\, and then to the information contained within maps of the radiation left over from the Big Bang. All of these observations contain clues as to the age\, size\, and shape of the universe\, leading to the counter-intuitive conclusion that the universe is filled with some form of “dark energy” that is exponentially accelerating the expansion of the universe.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium: Characterization and Classification of Aerosol Particles
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Holler\, Ph.D.\, professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, will present “Characterization and Classification of Aerosol Particles.” \nLight scattering is a useful tool for characterizing airborne particulate matter. For spherical particles\, the characterization and classification are trivial\, but this is not so for nonspherical particles. The vast majority of airborne particulate matter is irregularly shaped and/or comprised of small constituent particles. The irregularity of the shape of this particulate matter poses challenges for the inverse problem. Digital holography has emerged as a useful tool for capturing light-scattering data and shape and orientation that make the inverse problem tractable. Two-dimensional light-scattering patterns may also be used in conjunction with multivariate statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to perform classification of unknown particulates against known morphologies. \nThis talk will discuss the characterization and classification of airborne particulate matter using both of these techniques.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Quamrul Haider\, Ph.D.\, professor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, will present\, “Can We Keep Our Planet Inhabitable Until 2050?” \nIt is a very dicey time for our planet. In the last 100 years or so\, because of our unrestrained use of fossil fuels and systematic over-exploitation of natural resources\, we have pushed the planet toward climatological catastrophe. By polluting the air we breathe\, contaminating the water we drink\, and chemically altering the soil we till\, we have changed the climate and the environment of our planet beyond measure. \nToday\, we are seemingly transitioning to a new geologic epoch\, Holocene to Anthropocene\, in which the climate is very different from the one our ancestors knew. We are staring at an ever-hotter climate\, rising sea levels\, melting glaciers\, raging wildfires\, frequent and ferocious storms\, widespread droughts\, accelerated species extinctions\, crop failures\, and tens of millions of climate refugees. Simply put\, we dug ourselves into a deep hole\, yet we have not stopped digging. \nWithout major action to reduce emissions\, the global average temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 to 4.5°C by 2050. Will our planet remain inhabitable by then? Under the present circumstances\, the state of our planet in 2050 seems frightening ― “more hostile and less fertile\, more crowded\, and less diverse.”

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Pedro Espino\, Ph.D.\, FCRH ’12\, presently a postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmo\, will present “Neutron Stars as Ideal Physics Laboratories.” \nThe environments associated with neutron stars are unique sites with physical phenomena operating on many different energy and length scales. Neutron stars are ideal laboratories where we can test all of the fundamental interactions in nature\, including (1) gravity: neutron stars are objects with immense gravity\, and the merger of binary neutron stars has led to detections of gravitational waves; (2) electromagnetism: the magnetic fields produced in binary neutron star mergers are thought to be the strongest in the universe and are responsible for bright astronomical transients; (3) weak interactions: neutron stars are sites of high neutrino luminosity and neutrinos may play a crucial role in binary neutron star mergers; (4) strong interactions: it is possible that a deconfinement phase transition takes place in the densest regions of neutron stars and their mergers. \nEspino will discuss numerical simulations in which each of these interactions plays a central role\, as well as highlight some open questions in neutron star research.

Koder\, Ph.D.\, the James Peace Professor of Physics at the City College of New York\, will present “Utilizing Disorder in Natural and Designed Proteins and Enzymes.” \nThe largest destabilizing force in biopolymer folding is the inescapable configurational entropy loss in going from a disordered unfolded state to an ordered folded state. One way that the energy is minimized in evolution is by using the minimum degree of order in the folded state that is necessary for a specific function. Koder will outline his experiments in introducing this disorder in designed electron transfer enzymes; his utilization of disorder to create high signal sensing platforms that we have used to detect chemical- and bio-terror weapons\, cancer biomarkers\, and cytokines central to COVID-19; and recent biophysical analyses of the human protein elastin— the protein responsible for the elasticity of arterial walls whose entropic elasticity is critical to cardiovascular function.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Koenigsmann\, Ph.D.\, associate professor\, in the chemistry department at Fordham University\, will present\, “Designing New Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy and Sensor Applications.” \nA key technological shortfall in the development of practical renewable energy and sensor devices is the high cost and poor durability of the precious metal catalysts that drive electrochemical reactions within operating devices. This has hindered the widespread\, commercialization of platinum-based catalysts in blood-glucose meters and in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells in automobiles. In light of these challenges\, there is a broad effort to design precious metal electrocatalysts and their supports at the nanoscale leading to considerable advancements in catalysts performance. In recent work\, we have focused our efforts on employing solution-based methods to produce alloy-type Pt-based nanostructures with tunable structure\, size\, and composition. The electrochemical properties and electrocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction and the oxidation of small organic molecules are examined as a function of the structure of the active sites at the catalytic interface.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Nick Geiser\, FCRH ’17\, will present\, “What good is string theory? The Math & Physics of Strings.” \nString theory is the most promising candidate for the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity in a mathematically consistent framework. Moreover\, string theory is a well-established conceptual and computational tool that has been applied to a wide range of topics\, including particle physics\, astrophysics\, and pure mathematics. In this talk\, Geiser will present a lightning review of the fundamental theories of quantum mechanics (the standard model of particle physics) and gravity (general relativity) before introducing string theory as a consistent theory of quantum gravity. Geiser will then explore some basic stringy calculations\, encountering several famous mathematical objects\, such as the gamma function and the Riemann zeta function\, along the way. Finally\, Geiser will discuss the stringy origins of the “double-copy” between gauge theory and gravity and its application to colliding black holes. \nThis talk assumes familiarity with calculus (integrals).

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Thrall\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Fordham University\, will present “Overcoming Obstacles: Visualizing How the DNA Replication Machinery Bypasses DNA Damage.” \nAcross all domains of life\, DNA is replicated by a multi-protein complex known as the replisome. At the center of the replisome are DNA polymerases\, the enzymes that synthesize new DNA strands using the parental DNA as a template. Although the replisome efficiently and accurately copies undamaged DNA\, it can be blocked by unrepaired lesions on the DNA template. The DNA damage tolerance pathway translesion synthesis (TLS) allows cells to alleviate this potentially lethal blockade. In TLS\, specialized DNA polymerases gain access to the template\, bypass the damage\, and then relinquish the template to allow the replisome to continue normal DNA synthesis. Because TLS polymerases are error-prone\, however\, their access to the template must be tightly regulated to avoid harmful mutations. Using particle-tracking photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM)\, we visualize the behavior of single molecules of the TLS polymerase Pol IV in live Escherichia coli cells. We show that Pol IV is not strongly enriched near sites of DNA replication in normally growing cells but instead is recruited in response to DNA damage. Further\, we identify the protein-protein interactions that are important for this recruitment. These results suggest a mechanism by which the cell limits access of Pol IV to the DNA template\, minimizing unnecessary mutagenesis.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Megan Urry\, Ph.D.\, the Israel Munson Professor of Physics and Astronomy and director of the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics\, will present\, “Black Holes\, Galaxies\, and the Evolution of the Universe.” \nBlack holes form at the centers of galaxies in the young Universe and\, over the next 13 billion years\, they grow together by factors of a million or more in mass. This growth generates energy that can affect galaxy evolution\, including that of the Milky Way galaxy in which we live. In this talk\, Urry will describe how recent “wedding cake” X-ray+infrared+optical surveys of the sky have led to a quantitative description of black hole growth over the last ~12 billion years. Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are heavily obscured and thus look like inactive galaxies in optical surveys\, so our census effectively quadruples the amount of accretion\, and thus the amount of energy deposited in AGN host galaxies. However\, contrary to leading models\, our data suggest that for only a minority of galaxies does merger-triggered AGN “feedback” cause rapid quenching of star formation.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Viviana Acquaviva\, Ph.D.\, professor in the physics department at the CUNY NYC College of Technology and at the CUNY Graduate Center\, will present “Understanding the Universe Using Machine Learning.” \nAstronomy has truly become a “Big Data” science in the last few decades thanks to technological advances in telescopes development and the availability of space-based observations. Machine learning techniques are found to be increasingly useful in solving a variety of problems\, from the automatic classification of galaxy morphology and source identification in crowded fields to estimation of star and galaxy properties\, outlier recognition and anomaly detection\, and dimensionality reduction\, just to quote a few examples. In this talk\, Acquaviva will review some of the most notable applications of machine learning and deep learning to the analysis of astronomical data and present a few specific examples drawn from her research experience in analyzing galaxy spectra and training models on cosmological simulations.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Sriram Ganeshan\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor at City College\, City University of New York (CCNY)\, will present\, “Chiral Hydrodynamics: From Active Matter to Quantum Hall Fluids.” \nOur understanding of the universal phenomenon in many-body systems ranging from subatomic to astronomical scales relies largely on the hydrodynamical framework. Thus\, the discovery of a new hydrodynamic effect opens new understanding in a multitude of physical systems. Such a new hydrodynamical effect recently has come from quantum Hall effect (QHE)\, where Avron\, Seiler\, and Zograf showed that the viscosity of QH fluid is purely dissipation-less and is the off-diagonal component of the total viscosity tensor\, dubbed “odd” or “Hall” viscosity. It turns out that odd viscosity is not limited to QH\, but a special symmetry allowed term of a parity broken system in two dimensions. In this talk\, Ganeshan will outline several fascinating fluid phenomena induced by odd viscosity terms\, such as “odd” torque\, “odd” surface waves. and “odd” bubbles\, and discuss their applicability in a wide class of systems ranging from chiral active matter to fractional quantum Hall effect.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ioannis (John) Kymissis\, Ph.D.\, Kenneth Brayer Professor of Electrical Engineering and chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University SEAS\, will present\, “Electronics on Anything: How Thin Film Electronics can Instrument the World.” \nSilicon electronics have revolutionized the processing and handling of information. The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, have limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin-film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including the back-end of CMOS integrated circuits\, electronically active substrates\, and flexible materials. \nOur group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors\, thin-film piezoelectrics\, and laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement a range of new functionalities. In this presentation\, Kymissis will show how thin-film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allow for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Devices we have developed include single-chip PCR systems\, miniature spectrometers\, devices for blood flow analysis\, large-area and miniature microphones\, integrated on-chip filters\, and active matrix micro-LED displays. These approaches unlock new applications in health care\, sensing\, displays\, and communications. \nAbout the Speaker\nKymissis earned his B.S.\, M.Eng.\, and Ph.D. degrees from MIT. His M.Eng. thesis was performed as a co-op at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Lab on organic thin-film transistors\, and his Ph.D. was obtained in the Microsystems Technology Lab at MIT\, working on field-emission displays. After graduation\, he spent three years as a postdoc in MIT’s Laboratory for Organic Optics and Electronics\, working on a variety of organic electronic devices\, and also as a consulting engineer for QD Vision (later acquired by Samsung Electronics). He joined the faculty at Columbia University in electrical engineering in 2006 as an assistant professor. \nHe has won a number of awards for his work\, including the NSF CAREER award\, the IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport award\, the Vodaphone Americas Foundation Wireless Innovation Award\, the MIT Clean Energy Prize\, and a Verizon Powerful Answers award. A Society of Information Display (SID) fellow\, he recently served a term as the editor in chief of the Journal of the Society for Information Display. In addition\, he was the general chair for the 2014 Device Research Conference and was the program vice chair for the 2019 SID Display Week Symposium.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Sheehan Ahmed\, Ph.D.\, FCRH 2011\, assistant teaching professor at Rutgers University\, will present “Teaching with ISLE: Facilitating Students to Discover Physics for Themselves.” \nEffectively introducing new students to physics goes hand in hand with using research-based practices for teaching physics. Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) is an inquiry-based approach that focuses on students discovering physical concepts on their own using processes similar to what actual researchers use: observing phenomena\, identifying patterns\, developing hypotheses\, using them to make predictions for testing experiments\, and using these testing experiments to reject inconsistent hypotheses. Ahmed will focus on the particular implementation of ISLE that is being run and developed at Rutgers-Newark and the innovations and challenges that come with it.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:John Gustafson\, FCRH ’16\, and Dan Wines\, FCRH ’17\, will present\, “The Physics Ph.D. Experience at UMBC: A Fordham Alumni Journey.” This talk will present an overview of the physics Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). UMBC is a mid-sized research university located in the Maryland metropolitan area\, and the physics department encompasses research in areas of condensed matter\, astrophysics\, quantum information/optics\, and atmospheric physics. \nWines and Gustafson are current Ph.D. candidates set to begin NRC postdoctoral fellowships in 2022. In addition to a department overview and personal accounts of the graduate student experience\, they will present their respective computational and experimental research on 2D materials. Wines uses powerful computational resources to obtain the electronic\, magnetic\, and mechanical properties of 2D materials\, with such tools as density functional theory (DFT) and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) to discover and engineer new materials for energy applications. Gustafson will speak about light-matter interactions on the sub-picosecond scale. The main thrust of his work involves using an optical-pump THz-probe technique called time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS) to study the electronic properties of 2D materials\, fully characterizing a material’s photoconductivity. By sharing their Ph.D. journey\, they hope to promote the graduate physics program at UMBC and hope to attract future applicants.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Yacine Ali-Haimoud\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, New York University\, will present\, “Hunting for Dark Matter in the Early Universe.” \nIt is now well-established that a large part of the matter in the universe is some substance that appears to be oblivious to any force but gravity. The nature of this “dark matter” remains a mystery—and is one of the most important questions in modern physics. Could it be a new particle\, as light as an electron\, or might it be made of black holes as massive as many suns? \nIn this talk\, Ali-Haimoud will start by giving a brief overview of modern cosmology\, focusing on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). He will then explain how cosmologists can be so sure about the presence and amount of dark matter\, and illustrate how precise measurements of the frequency spectrum and angular fluctuations of the CMB can help shed light on the nature and properties of dark matter. Ali-Haimoud will discuss CMB tests of feeble dark matter interactions with photons\, electrons\, and nuclei\, as well as the signatures of accreting primordial black holes as a potential dark matter candidate.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Vinod Menon\, Ph.D.\, of City College and Graduate Center (CUNY)\, will present\, “Control of Light Matter Interaction in 2D Materials.” \nTwo-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials have emerged as a very attractive class of optoelectronic material due to the unprecedented strength in its interaction with light. In this talk\, Menon will discuss approaches to enhance and control this interaction by integrating these 2D materials with microcavities\, and metamaterials. He will first discuss the formation of strongly coupled half-light\, half-matter quasiparticles (microcavity polaritons) and their spin-optic control in the 2D transition metal dichacogenide (TMD) systems. Following this\, Menon will discuss the formation of polaritons using excited states (Rydberg states) to enhance the nonlinear polariton interaction. Recent results on electrical control and realization of a polariton LED based on 2D TMDs will also be presented. Finally\, he will talk about strain-activated\, room temperature\, single-photon emission from hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) which can be integrated with microresonators on silicon photonic platform.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Gumaro Rendón\, Ph.D.\, of Brookhaven National Lab\, will present\, “New Physics on the Lattice.” \nThe success the Standard Model (SM) has had in describing particle physics cannot be overstated. It describes the smallest constituents of matter as well as three of the four fundamental forces—weak nuclear\, strong nuclear\, and electromagnetic—that hold these together. After the discovery of the Higgs boson\, we have observed\, directly or indirectly\, all the particles in the model. However\, its shortcomings should not be disregarded. There are several phenomena observed experimentally that cannot be described within it. \nFor instance\, deviations between experiment and SM predictions have emerged in weak nuclear processes. However\, the enveloping strong nuclear interactions have to first be calculated. We discuss how we use a space-time lattice to accomplish this.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Maureen E. Raymo\, Ph.D.\, Bruce C. Heezen/Lamont Research Professor and director of the Lamont-Doherty Core Repository at Columbia University\, will present\, “Climate\, CO2\, and Sea Level: Past is Prologue.” \nThe Earth is running a fever. The ongoing pollution of our atmosphere by an invisible odorless gas called carbon dioxide is trapping heat at the Earth’s surface and causing temperatures to rise on land and in the ocean. The polar regions are warming fastest of all and the melting ice sheets are causing sea levels to rise around the globe. This talk will review evidence for climate change—natural and human-caused—and explore how ice sheets and sea level changed in the past. How fast the climate changes in the future will depend on our collective actions as individuals\, families\, communities\, and governments.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Szydagis\, Ph.D.\, of the State University of New York at Albany\, will present\, “Lab Detection of Dark Matter From The Cosmos.” \nThe nature of dark matter has remained an enduring enigma for over eight decades now\, for both cosmology and astroparticle physics. The majority of cosmic mass\, over 85%\, does not shine in the stars nor exist in atomic form. A continued lack of unambiguous evidence from a direct detection experiment of the traditional Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) has led to a major thrust to consider masses both higher and lower than before\, driven by many hypotheses and models. \nSzydagis will summarize his work on the LUX (Large Underground Xenon) experiment and its multi–ton scale successor\, LZ\, currently under construction underground. He will also discuss the microphysics simulations of NEST (Noble Element Simulation Technique) used to make predictions for signals in a liquid xenon–based detector\, and emphasize new research and development at Albany using water to look for dark matter lighter than the canonical WIMP particle. This research and development effort relies critically upon nanotechnology for water purification.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Andrii Iurov\, Ph.D.\, an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Computer Science at the Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York\, will present\, “Temperature-Dependent Plasmons\, Thermal-Convolution Paths\, and Chemical Potential in Tunable Extrinsic Dirac Structures.” \nIn this talk\, Iurov will present and discuss some of their recent results for the finite-temperature plasmons in graphene and other low-dimensional innovative materials in addition to graphene\, such as silicene\, germanene\, and transitional metal dichalcogenides. They have also derived a set of analytical equations to calculate the chemical potential for all these various tunable extrinsic (or doped) Dirac structures and thermal plasmons controlled by different thermal-convolution paths. Furthermore\, they have used the dynamical polarizability and random-phase approximation to study the split plasmon branches in buckled lattices and predicted a unique splitting\, different from that in gapped graphene. Their results are crucial for stimulating new research into electronic\, transport\, and collective properties in the recently discovered lattices\, photovoltaics\, and transistor devices.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Emily Shipley\, FCRH ’20\, engineering physics major\, will present\, “Morphological Discrimination and Classification of Complex Aerosol Aggregates via Simulated Two-Dimensional Multi-Spectral Light Scattering.” \nLight scattering patterns from non-spherical particles and aggregates are a complex speckle pattern resulting from the interference among the constituent particles. The variation in in the observed patterns vary from particle to particle and from forward and backward scattering. Previous experimental work indicated that some features in the scattering patterns can reflect aggregate morphology and are useful for classifying particle types. Despite past success\, these studies have used a limited data set\, and the aerosol morphology was not well characterized. Promising experimental results have prompted a more extensive study that better controls the aggregate parameters. In this study\, light scattering simulations have been performed across multiple wavelengths\, and the resulting patterns have been analyzed to produce morphological descriptors that reflect particle characteristics. As a result\, the identified morphological descriptors may be employed in multivariate statistical algorithms of “unknown” particle classification. These descriptors are processed using a multivariate statistical algorithm and the controlled particles are classified. This talk will focus on the descriptors and their relation to the simulated aggregates\, and how the multispectral information may be used for classifying various particle types including those of biological origin.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Jaeda Mendoza\, FCRH ’22\, engineering physics major\, will present “Towards a Plasmon Coupled Micro-Cavity Biosensor.” \nPlasmonics enables the enhancement of resonance shifts in cavity-based sensors in the presence of a foreign substrate\, altering the refractive index of surrounding dielectrics. This method of sensing can be used for general sensing\, most especially for the trace detection of biological and chemical agents. However\, some sensors use fragile materials or are difficult to manage\, often causing problems. Thus\, there is a need to find alternative sensor platforms that can mitigate such problems. This research project aims to determine whether perforated gold plates as a plasmonic sensor platform will be a better alternative sensor when coupled with a microsphere resonator.
