Abstract:  Particle, nuclear, and astrophysics experiments are producing massive amounts of data to answer fundamental questions about the basic constituents of our universe.  While researchers in these areas have been using advanced data science tools for decades, modern machine...

We will resume the regular series starting in the Fall

Dr. Troyer's colloquium is postponed until a later date

Abstract:   AI and machine learning have found applications in many fields, and astronomy is no exception. But while some see AI as an overhyped toy and others as an existential threat, astronomers have been using it for a while...

Abstract:   Over the last 25 years, the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model (LCDM)—with 70% of the universe in the form of vacuum energy or equivalently Einstein’s cosmological constant, Lambda---has become the standard paradigm for cosmology. Until recently, it has proven...

Abstract:   After the discovery of Higgs, Higgs factory is now recognized by the community as the highest priority for the future of particle physics.   We proposed Circular Electron-Positron Collider in 2012, which is now almost ready for construction...

We will resume the regular series starting April 28

Abstract:   The nature of dark matter is one of the most profound unanswered questions in physics. One of the best motivated explanations is that it is composed of particles with mass and couplings tied to the electroweak scale of...

Abstract:   My talk will cover recent advances in the application of near atomic-resolution single-particle cryoEM for the structural and functional analysis of macromolecules, revealing novel information that could not be predicted by AlphaFold. Additionally, I will discuss the potential...
