Title: Control of Segmentation Timing in the Zebrafish Notochord Abstract: Many developmental processes require coordination across multiple cells to achieve a common function. One way to achieve this harmony is through control of developmental timing, regulated by genetic species acting as biological timekeepers. In this talk, I will discuss evidence of an oscillatory system in…

Title: Nuclear Structure and Isomer Studies for R-Process Nucleosynthesis Abstract: Neutron-capture-driven nucleosynthesis is believed to be responsible for the creation of most of the nuclei heavier than iron with one of the most dominant processes called the fast-neutron capture process or the r-process. To understand the exact path of the r-process and its link to…
Title: SNeND Measurements: “Supernova Neutrino constrained by Neutrino Data” for DUNE Abstract: Neutrinos are the electrically neutral elementary particles with finite mass. The discovery of their non-zero masses is the first instance of a conflict with the Standard Model of particle physics, which has successfully described elementary particles and interactions but leaves questions unanswered. The…
Title: Nuclear Physics and the Origins of the Heaviest Elements Abstract: The groundbreaking discovery of the neutron star merger event GW170817 ushered in a new era of multimessenger astrophysics. One key observation was the optical signal that accompanied GW170817, which provided the first firm proof that neutron star mergers produce heavy elements. Still, it is…
Dr Ajay Ram Srimath Kandada received his PhD in Physics from Politecnico di Milano, Italy in 2013 for his work on ultrafast spectroscopy of organic photovoltaic materials. He subsequently moved to the Italian Institute of Technology as a post-doctoral researcher to investigate bulk metal-halide perovskites' excited state dynamics and defect physics. In 2016, he received…
