27. My Astronomical Journey

Prof. Wendy L Freedman

1/21/23, 10:00 AM

The launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990 enabled astronomers to make measurements of the universe of unprecedented accuracy. The James Webb Space Telescope, launched on December 25, 2021, is now delivering even higher accuracy. Professor Freedman will describe her work using the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes measuring the rate at which the universe is expanding, a quantity...

30. Metal-like behavior in nanoparticle assemblies

Ali Ehlen

1/22/23, 9:30 AM

Nanoparticles are studied for their tunable uses and properties as individual particles. They can also self-assemble into a wide variety of structures, which further increases potential for different applications. Traditionally, these structures have been static ionic-compound-like lattices where all nanoparticles are fixed at lattice points; however, a set of metal-like phases was recently...

32. Graduate research in high energy physics for the Muon g-2 experiment

Lucy Bailey (UCL)

1/22/23, 9:50 AM

As a graduate student there are opportunities to contribute to research in a variety of ways. To provide the necessary context for the research completed, the Muon g-2 experiment is briefly discussed, including the background of the measurement, the aims of Muon g-2 and the function of the straw trackers. Examples of the research activities undertaken during the first year of a PhD are...

31. Materializing quantum technologies

Dr Vrindaa Somjit (Postdoctoral research scholar, Materials Science Division, Argonne National Lab)

1/22/23, 10:10 AM

Quantum information science (QIS) holds great promise to revolutionize applications such as sensing, communication, and computing. Sensing gravitational waves, ultra-secure communication networks, and solving hard computational problems are a few exciting examples. However, to realize this potential of QIS, materials design and optimization will be crucial. In particular, identifying...

37. Impostorism in Science: What is it, and what can we do about it?

Dr Rachel Ivie (American Insitute of Physics)

1/22/23, 11:00 AM

The impostor syndrome was first used by psychologists in 1978 to describe highly successful women who had difficulty internally recognizing their own achievements and continued to feel like they were impostors in their careers. Since that time, further research has demonstrated that men can also exhibit characteristics of this phenomenon. Impostor syndrome also has been referred to as the...
