The last decade of ALMA has transformed our view of
planet-forming environments in all respects. High resolution images
have revealed a diverse array of structured belts of
millimeter-sized dust and a variety of distinct molecular
compositions both...
Abstract: The Anti-de-Sitter/Condensed Matter
Theory (AdS/CMT) correspondence has attracted significant attention
within high-energy physics, particularly in the study of
holographic superconductors, which are modeled as asymptotically
Anti-de...
In this talk, I will discuss two key areas, with a focus on the
challenges in modeling the spectral energy distributions in the
JWST era. First, a central science goal of JWST is finding the
first galaxies, which often requires modeling of...
I’ll discuss an old technique called intensity interferometry,
pioneered by Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) that allows us to
achieve sub-microarcsecond angular resolution using ordinary
ground-based optical telescopes observing visible light.
This...
The high and dry desert of the Chilean Andes is a magnificent
site from which to observe the universe. The Atacama Cosmology
Telescope (ACT) made measurements of the cosmic microwave
background (CMB) from there for fifteen years, with a series
of...
The conventional device to convert light to electrical current
uses two different kinds of doped silicon merged together known as
pn junction or heterostructures. The current only flows one way in
the pn junction due to a built-in electric field...
