Title: Generalizing deconfined criticality to 3d N-flavor SU(2) quantum chromodynamics on the fuzzy sphere Abstract: The fuzzy sphere formalism is a recently introduced powerful lens to probe critical behavior and find clear numerical signatures of conformal symmetry. After introducing the technique, we use it to investigate a candidate for SU(2) QCD with N fermions and…

Title: Public Engagement as a Physics Practice: Identity, Community, and Building the Infrastructure for Impact Abstract: Public engagement or, as it is more commonly known, “outreach” often lives at the periphery of physics departments, something some do in their “free” time. Yet many physicists and students facilitate informal programs. But what do we know about how these… |

Title: Neutron Star Mergers as a Laboratory for Neutrino Physics: Neutrino Oscillations, Neutrino-matter Interactions, and Neutrino Advection Abstract: The 2017 detection of the in-spiral and merger of two neutron stars was a landmark discovery in astrophysics. Through a wealth of multi-messenger data, we now know that the merger of these ultracompact stellar remnants is a… |

Title: Empathy in Physics Classrooms and other Academic Spaces Abstract: This talk explores the role of empathy — the ability to understand and share feelings, thoughts, and experiences of another — in physics classrooms and other academic spaces. Specifically, we ask: 1) how do faculty conceptualize empathy and its place in the classroom; 2) how… |

Title: Geometrically Cohesive Granular Materials: Structure, Permeability and Porosity Abstract: Geometrically cohesive granular materials (GCGMs) are granular materials whose shape allows for particle entanglement that can result in extreme rigidity (c.f. bird nests, beaver dams and entangled clothes hangers). In this talk I’ll first review some surprising rheological features of GCGMs that arise from the… |

Title: The Gendered History of Quantum Physics Abstract: The book Women in the History of Quantum Physics: Beyond Knabenphysik presents original analyses of the lives and work of sixteen women who, throughout the twentieth century, from various locations and in diverse ways, participated in the development of quantum physics. By focusing on lesser-known figures and… |

Title: Gaia in Technicolor: Mapping Stellar Variability Through H-R Diagram Motions Abstract: Most people think of the famous H-R diagram in stellar astrophysics as being essentially static over human lifetimes, changing only on timescales of millions or billions of years. However, some pulsating stars and eclipsing binaries exhibit photometric and color variations strong enough that their… |
