SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Seminar
DESCRIPTION:John Gustafson\, FCRH ’16\, and Dan Wines\, FCRH ’17\, will present\, “The Physics Ph.D. Experience at UMBC: A Fordham Alumni Journey.” This talk will present an overview of the physics Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). UMBC is a mid-sized research university located in the Maryland metropolitan area\, and the physics department encompasses research in areas of condensed matter\, astrophysics\, quantum information/optics\, and atmospheric physics. \nWines and Gustafson are current Ph.D. candidates set to begin NRC postdoctoral fellowships in 2022. In addition to a department overview and personal accounts of the graduate student experience\, they will present their respective computational and experimental research on 2D materials. Wines uses powerful computational resources to obtain the electronic\, magnetic\, and mechanical properties of 2D materials\, with such tools as density functional theory (DFT) and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) to discover and engineer new materials for energy applications. Gustafson will speak about light-matter interactions on the sub-picosecond scale. The main thrust of his work involves using an optical-pump THz-probe technique called time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS) to study the electronic properties of 2D materials\, fully characterizing a material’s photoconductivity. By sharing their Ph.D. journey\, they hope to promote the graduate physics program at UMBC and hope to attract future applicants.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Phiala Shanahan\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, will present “From Quarks to Nuclei: The Building Blocks of the Universe.” \nMore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is built from protons and neutrons and the nuclei that they form. This rich structure emerges dynamically from the complex interactions of quarks and gluons\, the most elementary particles that have been discovered. Understanding how nuclear physics arises from the underlying quark and gluon dynamics is a computational challenge that pushes the capabilities of the world’s largest supercomputers. \nIn this colloquium\, we will discuss the subatomic realm and what supercomputer calculations of quarks and gluons can reveal about the origins of mass\, the primordial nuclear reactions that power the sun\, and the nature of the elusive dark matter that permeates the universe.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Gumaro Rendón\, Ph.D.\, of Brookhaven National Lab\, will present\, “New Physics on the Lattice.” \nThe success the Standard Model (SM) has had in describing particle physics cannot be overstated. It describes the smallest constituents of matter as well as three of the four fundamental forces—weak nuclear\, strong nuclear\, and electromagnetic—that hold these together. After the discovery of the Higgs boson\, we have observed\, directly or indirectly\, all the particles in the model. However\, its shortcomings should not be disregarded. There are several phenomena observed experimentally that cannot be described within it. \nFor instance\, deviations between experiment and SM predictions have emerged in weak nuclear processes. However\, the enveloping strong nuclear interactions have to first be calculated. We discuss how we use a space-time lattice to accomplish this.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Emily Shipley\, FCRH ’20\, engineering physics major\, will present\, “Morphological Discrimination and Classification of Complex Aerosol Aggregates via Simulated Two-Dimensional Multi-Spectral Light Scattering.” \nLight scattering patterns from non-spherical particles and aggregates are a complex speckle pattern resulting from the interference among the constituent particles. The variation in in the observed patterns vary from particle to particle and from forward and backward scattering. Previous experimental work indicated that some features in the scattering patterns can reflect aggregate morphology and are useful for classifying particle types. Despite past success\, these studies have used a limited data set\, and the aerosol morphology was not well characterized. Promising experimental results have prompted a more extensive study that better controls the aggregate parameters. In this study\, light scattering simulations have been performed across multiple wavelengths\, and the resulting patterns have been analyzed to produce morphological descriptors that reflect particle characteristics. As a result\, the identified morphological descriptors may be employed in multivariate statistical algorithms of “unknown” particle classification. These descriptors are processed using a multivariate statistical algorithm and the controlled particles are classified. This talk will focus on the descriptors and their relation to the simulated aggregates\, and how the multispectral information may be used for classifying various particle types including those of biological origin.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Speaker Jaeda Mendoza\, FCRH ’22\, engineering physics major\, will present “Towards a Plasmon Coupled Micro-Cavity Biosensor.” \nPlasmonics enables the enhancement of resonance shifts in cavity-based sensors in the presence of a foreign substrate\, altering the refractive index of surrounding dielectrics. This method of sensing can be used for general sensing\, most especially for the trace detection of biological and chemical agents. However\, some sensors use fragile materials or are difficult to manage\, often causing problems. Thus\, there is a need to find alternative sensor platforms that can mitigate such problems. This research project aims to determine whether perforated gold plates as a plasmonic sensor platform will be a better alternative sensor when coupled with a microsphere resonator.
