The Cosmic Microwave Background: Physics and History

Bruce Partridge, Haverford College

Friday, October 4, 2019
12–1 pm

Hegeman 107
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is the heat left over from the hot Big Bang of the early universe. Careful studies of the CMB have greatly enriched our understanding of the history and properties of the universe—and what it was like very early on. In this talk, I will focus on the basic science of the CMB, and how this intertwined with the “discovery” of the CMB. I'll start with this proposition: the very early universe was dense, hot, and very, very simple.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Flexible Bioelectronics on a Thread: Sensors, Microfluidics, Electronics and Drug Delivery

Dr. Sameer Sonkusale
Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Tufts University

Tuesday, October 8, 2019
4–6 pm

RKC 122
This talk will explore the new realm of using threads as an ultimate platform for flexible and stretchable bioelectronics. Threads offer unique advantages of universal availability, low cost, material diversity and simple textile-based processing. Interestingly, threads also provide an ideal platform for passive microfluidic sampling and delivery of analytes. In this talk, I will report reel-to-reel fabrication of functional smart threads for variety of sensing and electronics application. I will report on nanomaterial-infused smart threads for sensing strain and temperature.  Nano-infused threads will be presented for sensing pH, glucose, lactate, ammonium and other chemical and biological biomarkers directly in biological fluids such as sweat or wound exudate. Beyond sensing and microfluidics, I will present our recent work on making super-thin transistors and electronics directly on threads. This new toolkit of highly flexible thread-based microfluidics, sensors, transistors and electronics makes it possible to realize smart surgical sutures and flexible smart bandages for chronic wounds. Our recent work on using threads for closed loop spatiotemporal dosage controlled drug delivery will also be presented.  If there is time, I will present some related research activities on ingestible devices for studying the gut microbiome, and on flexible microneedles for transdermal drug delivery.Sponsored by: Chemistry Program.

New Horizons in Cosmology: The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics

Bard Physics Program Faculty

Friday, October 11, 2019
12–1 pm

Hegeman 107
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two separate discoveries that broadened our understanding of the Universe. One half of the prize was given to Jim Peebles “for contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe” and the other half to Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discover of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star.” Both of these works fundamentally changed our view of our universe and our place in it. Faculty of the Physics Program will expand on the ideas behind the discoveries and emphasize their significance.

Are We All in this Together? Generalized Prejudice Theory and Stigma Experiences

 

Diana Sanchez ’00
Rutgers University

Thursday, October 17, 2019
4:45–6 pm

Preston Theater
The contexts that give rise to identity threats and their pernicious consequences for minorities are well documented. Yet, until recently, stigma researchers have largely assumed the necessity of a direct correspondence between safety/threat cues and the target (e.g., sexist remarks impact women). In contrast, this work demonstrates stigma transfer, i.e., the tendency for stigmatized group members to be threatened by prejudice targeting other stigmatized groups. In addition, this presentation will explore lay conceptions of prejudice that facilitate stigma transfer. Lastly, studies explore parallel responses to identity safety cues across identity dimensions. This talk will challenge long-held notions about the boundaries of stigma and have important implications for minority health, organizational diversity, and intraminority relations.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Coding ++ Live Coding

Sarah Groff Hennigh-Palermo & Kate Sicchio

 

Thursday, October 17, 2019
6–8 pm

Blum Hall
This talk and performance will focus on the work of Codie, a live coding group working with visuals and sounds. The talk will give background to the live coding community as well as the development of our live coding practices. The performance will show a world of colors, shapes, beeps and boops all created through real-time computer programming.

Codie is a live coding a/v group based in Brooklyn NY and Richmond VA (USA). Codie is seen in New York, Philadelphia, Berlin, Madrid, Sheffield and beyond in clubs, in living rooms, and on roof tops. Codie makes live performance, films and installations with code. https://codie.live/

Sarah Groff Hennigh-Palermo is an artist, programmer, and erstwhile data designer. She has created data-obscured art sites, new computer languages, and hybrid nostalgia machines. Her current focus is livecode and digital abstraction. Sarah is an alumna of the School for Poetic Computation, Recurse Center, Brown University, and NYU Tandon School of Engineering. She has taken part in group shows at Sonar+D, Westbeth, Day for Night, and Flux Factory. http://sarahghp.com/

Dr. Kate Sicchio is a choreographer, , media artist and performer whose work explores the interface between choreography and technology with wearable technology, live coding, and video systems. Her work has been shown internationally in many countries including the US, Germany, Australia, Belgium, Sweden, and the UK at venues such as PS122 (NYC), Banff New Media Institute (Canada), V&A Digital Futures (London), and Artisan Gallery (Hong Kong). http://www.sicchio.com

A Model for Quantum Geometro-Dynamics: On the Road to Quantum Gravity

Aldo Riello • Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Friday, October 18, 2019
12–1 pm

Hegeman 107
General relativity and quantum mechanics are at the foundations of our understanding of space, time, gravity, and matter. Yet, it is not clear how they can fit into a consistent, encompassing framework, generically named a theory of “quantum gravity.” In this talk, I will paint in broad strokes the fundamental ideas underlying general relativity and quantum mechanics as well as some of the issues that arise when trying to combine their precepts. I will then present a possible way forward in the form of a theory of quantum geometro-dynamics, of which I will discuss the main characteristics. Curiously, we find that the way quantum space is supposed to evolve in a fictitious two-dimensional world (where the geometro-dynamics is well understood and solvable) is closely related to certain models of surface growth, known as solid-on-solid models (SoS).Sponsored by: Physics Program.
