Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 In this special edition of Physics Friday, we will host Christiane 'Chris' DeWitt, daughter of well known physicists Cécile DeWitt-Morette and Bryce DeWitt. Cécile DeWitt-Morette developed a foundational method for calculating the path integrals appearing in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory and founded the Les Houches School of Physics. She has recently been selected as one of 72 French women scientists to have their names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. The Les Houches summer schools are famous amongst physicists and mathematicians both for their lively lessons and for the camaraderie that permeated the schools. Bryce DeWitt was a wide-ranging physicist who developed one of the first rigorous approaches to quantum gravity, investigated the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, and was a pioneer in the numerical relativity techniques that are now so key to gravitational wave measurement. In this informal interview, physics program member Hal Haggard will ask Chris about her family’s many intersections with physicists and the dynamic era of physics after 1950. Chris’ own life path has taken her beyond physics, but she will bring her sharp observational personality and joy in family stories to this conversation.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Microstructure Characterization in Metals Processing
Dan Lewis, Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering Department, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Friday, April 10, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 This talk will discuss how we use microstructure to understand the process history and development of properties in metallic alloys. A historical perspective on how we understand the capabilities of ancient civilizations as well as microstructures that evolve from modern manufacturing methods will be presented. The talk will also discuss recent work on Earth materials and additive manufacturing and how image-driven machine learning has been used to try and process large numbers of microstructures.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Looking the Part: Examining the “Physical Femininity Imperative” from the Perceiver and Target Perspective
A talk by Natalie Wittlin, Psychology Program
Thursday, April 16, 2026 4 pm
Preston Theater Physical appearances have been theorized as central to conceptualizations of womanhood. Thus, when women do not conform to norms of physical femininity, they may be excluded from the category of woman. Further, they may experience a sense of threat to their identity or knowledge of self. This talk will present two lines of work examining the physical femininity imperative from both the perceiver and target perspective. Wittlin will present new work exploring how the gendered appearance of female athletes influences judgements about whether they should be permitted to participate in women’s sports. This talk aims to demonstrate the important role that gendered expectations within an often-neglected domain—physical appearance—play in shaping women’s psychological experiences and access to opportunities.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Since Yves Couder’s discovery in 2005 that droplets may self-propel along the surface of a vibrating liquid bath, numerous studies have shown that these walking droplets exhibit features previously thought to be exclusive to the microscopic, quantum realm. The walking-droplet system represents a macroscopic realization of wave-particle duality, and of a pilot-wave dynamics of the form proposed for microscopic quantum particles by Louis de Broglie in the 1920s. Experimental theoretical results allow us to explore its potential and limitations as a quantum analog, and so redefine the boundary between classical and quantum. Theoretical descriptions of the hydrodynamic system allow us to forge links with existing quantum pilot-wave theories, and explore a broader class of classical pilot-wave systems. Particular attention is given to illustrating how the non-Markovian droplet dynamics may give rise to features that are taken as evidence of quantum nonlocality in their microscopic counterparts.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Hall effects: Topological Physics in Quantum Materials
Zachariah Addison, Wellesley College
Friday, April 24, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Here we explore the role of topology in the understanding of quantum phases of matter. We explore how these mathematical ideas impact the understanding of material properties by looking at quantum Hall effects. The canonical quantum Hall effect describe the conduction of electrons transverse to an applied electric field. In 1980 experiments were performed on insulating silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor that tracked these electron currents as a function of an applied magnetic field normal to the sample. They discovered that unlike most observations in nature, the resistivity was not a smooth function of the magnetic field but instead took on quantized values. These observations could be understood by exploring the topological nature of the dynamics of the system. Since then, topological physics has played a dominating role in understanding the electronic properties of materials, culminating in the 2016 Nobel Prize being awarded for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter. We will look to these effects and explore some still open question at the intersection of material physics and topology.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Cécile DeWitt-Morette developed a foundational method for calculating the path integrals appearing in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory and founded the Les Houches School of Physics. She has recently been selected as one of 72 French women scientists to have their names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. The Les Houches summer schools are famous amongst physicists and mathematicians both for their lively lessons and for the camaraderie that permeated the schools. Bryce DeWitt was a wide-ranging physicist who developed one of the first rigorous approaches to quantum gravity, investigated the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, and was a pioneer in the numerical relativity techniques that are now so key to gravitational wave measurement. In this informal interview, physics program member Hal Haggard will ask Chris about her family’s many intersections with physicists and the dynamic era of physics after 1950.
