CMB Seminar: Lewis ‘Alex’ Rolband
Riddick 314Title: Assessing the Biological Activities of DNA-Templated Silver Nanoclusters Abstract: DNA and RNA are structurally and functionally diverse biopolymers that have shown promise in recent years as a powerful biomedical tool, in the form of nucleic acid nanotechnologies. The applications of these technologies include biosensing, diagnostics, cancer therapeutics, vaccines, and many more. A relatively unexplored…
Physics Seimnar: Justin Burton
Lampe Hall Room 243 111 Lampe Drive, Raleigh, NC, United StatesTitle: Integrating First-year Research Rotations into Physics Graduate Programs Abstract: The vast majority of physics graduate programs in the USA rely on 1-2 years of intensive classes followed by a shift towards research. Students often begin working in a research group at the end of their 1st year, after they have passed a written and/or…
Physics Colloquium: Justin Burton
Riddick 301 2401 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, NC, United StatesTitle: Learning force laws in many-body systems Abstract: Scientific laws that describe natural systems may be more complex than our intuition can handle, and thus how we discover laws must change. Machine learning (ML) models can analyze large quantities of data, but their structure should match the underlying physical constraints to provide useful insight. Here…
Triangle Nuclear Theory Seminar: Feng Yuan
Riddick 400P 2401 Katherine Stinson Dr, Raleigh, NC, United StatesDr. Feng Yuan Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Title: Nucleon Energy Correlators for the Color Glass Condensate Abstract: In this talk, we will present a proposal to unveil the hadron tomography through the nucleon energy-energy correlators (NEEC) at the future electron-ion collider (EIC). In particular, we will show that the gluon saturation at small-x predicts a…

Riddick 400P 2401 Katherine Stinson Dr, Raleigh, NC, United StatesDr. Wally Meltnichouk Title: Unraveling the Three-dimensional Structure of the Pion Abstract: We review recent work by the JAM Collaboration towards extracting the three-dimensional structure of the pion from simultaneous global QCD analysis of collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) and transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs). We explore the constraints on pion PDFs from recent lattice QCD data on reduced…
CMB Seminar: Jose Castaneda
Riddick 314Title: Photodecomposition in Methylammonium Lead Triiodide Thin Films Abstract: Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have shown remarkable photovoltaic properties while being solution and low-temperature processable. However, long-term applications are limited by instability arising from the material’s surface and photoexcitation. With above bandgap excitation Raman spectroscopy, the photodegradation process of methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI 3 ) was monitored.…
