  • Colloquium – Bio-Inspired Surface Engineering: From New Anti-Infection Strategies to Low-Cost Water Monitoring

    140 Bennett Hall 18 Gym Road, Orono, ME

    Over millions of years, Nature has developed a variety of highly effective, sustainable solutions to a wide range of problems. Relatively recent advances in materials science are now making it possible for scientists and engineers to adapt similar strategies for human problems. In this seminar, I will present our recent work on two such efforts: […]

  • Colloquium – Surface-sensitive studies of electronic properties in 2D materials

    140 Bennett Hall 18 Gym Road, Orono, ME

    Two-dimensional (2D) materials provide a unique platform in which structural, electronic, and functional properties are governed almost entirely by surface and interfacial effects. Thus, understanding and controlling these properties is essential for their integration into future electronic and energy-efficient technologies. In this presentation, representative results are obtained by using advanced surface-sensitive experimental approaches that enable […]

  • Physics and Astronomy Colloquium: Sustainable, Reliable, and Secure AI

  • Inflation is still in trouble: Probing the early universe with numerical relativity

    140 Bennett Hall 18 Gym Road, Orono, ME

    Joshua Shterenberg Ph.D Candidate Department of Physics, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ Abstract: The standard picture of modern cosmology posits inflation as the dynamical, classical process that smooths generic fluctuations in the early universe. To analyze the effectiveness of inflation in the regime of large, non-perturbative fluctuations, we perform numerical relativity simulations using a custom tetrad-based […]
