Physics Undergraduate Event: Physics Major Information Session

Do you wonder about the difference between the physics major and the intensive version? Do you have questions about the definition of an advanced elective, or what the senior requirement entails? If you have these, or any other questions about the physics major, please join DUS Sarah Demers for an info session at which she’ll describe the major and answer your questions. We’ll serve cookies!

NPA Seminar: Seb Jones, UCL, "The QTNM collaboration: a project for absolute neutrino mass measurement"

The observation of neutrino oscillations provides proof of non-zero neutrino masses, something which was not predicted in the minimal Standard Model. However, these same neutrino oscillation experiments do not provide information on the absolute scale of the neutrino masses, which remain unknown. The neutrino masses are most directly accessed through those experiments which measure the shape of the beta-decay energy spectrum.

YPPDO Workshop: Plan and Manage Your Career Development with Jacob Gonzalez

Join us for this introduction to the many ways OCS can support your career and professional development! We will discuss useful strategies and review important resources that can help you jump-start your career planning. You will also learn how to build a strong and diverse professional network - it’s never too early or too late to start! By connecting with alums and other professionals, you can gain important insights into career paths, advice about organizations and roles, and even valuable leads by tapping into the “hidden” job market.

YPPDO Workshop: Transitioning into Industry after PhD and/or Postdoc with Jenna DiRito

Choosing your desired career path is a significant decision. Yet many students make these decisions every day without being well informed about alternative paths outside of academia. I was once one of those students too! In this seminar, I’ll talk through my journey in academia, starting my own biotech company, and the principles I use to decide major career decisions. My hope is that this talk helps you find resonance in your future careers as well, wherever they may be.

WIDG Seminar: Bianka Meçaj, Yale, "Jet Substructure with Energy Correlators"

Many New Physics searches and QCD precision measurements at particle colliders involve the study of jet substructure for final state hadrons. Recently it has been understood that measuring correlation functions of energy flow operators inside a jet can be a very powerful tool for phenomenology, which naturally stems from first principles of quantum field theory. In this talk I will present a bridge between the vast theoretical progress made to understand the energy correlators from the field theory perspective and their practical implementation into the real world of hadron colliders.

WIDG Seminar: Iris Ponce, Yale, "Strangeness Production in O+O at 200 GeV"

Scientists confirmed the existence of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy ion collisions in the early 2000s. One of the earliest theorized signatures for QGP is the enhancement of particles containing strange quarks. In the last decade, results from proton-heavy ion collisions have generated significant discussion about the initial conditions needed to generate a QGP.

Kimball Smith Series: The Science and Ethics of Autonomous Warfare

Join us for a moderated panel followed by small group discussions on the topic of autonomy and artificial intelligence in warfare. The panel will feature Ian Abraham (Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science at Yale and leader of the Intelligent Autonomy Lab) and Michael Butera (Policy Advisor in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs at the U.S. Department of State).
