15:00 - SEMINAR - Let There Be Light: The Observational Quest for the First Galaxies : A seminar by Prof. Richard Ellis (European Southern Observatory/University College London) as part of the de Laeter colloquium series (joint ICRAR/CASS event)
|
Website |
More Information
|
The first billion years after the Big Bang represent the final observational frontier in assembling a coherent picture of cosmic history. During this period early stars and galaxies formed and the Universe became bathed in ultraviolet light. Hydrogen in the intergalactic medium also transitioned (...)

9:30 - Masterclass - Earthquakes - How predictable are they? : A masterclass with Margaret Boettcher, Associate Professor of Geophysics, University of New Hampshire.
|
Website |
More Information
|
While earthquake predictability is poorly understood, some faults have more regular seismicity than others. Earthquakes on oceanic transform faults exhibit many of the most systematic and predictable behaviors known in seismology and therefore provide a window into earthquake forecasting on (...)

14:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Quantum Correlations, especially entanglement and discord
|
More Information
|
I will discuss some topics in quantum information, both for two-level systems (qubits) and higher dimensional ones. Correlation such as entanglement and quantum discord are being discussed for applications in quantum cryptography and computation. I will discuss the basic
quantum physics behind (...)

12:00 - SEMINAR - The Physics of Bicycles : What makes a bicycle stable?
|
More Information
|
Since a spinning bicycle wheel is the canonical example of angular momentum, many physicists believe that angular momentum is important to the stability of a bicycle. However, it has been known for a long time that this is not so; angular momentum plays only a very minor role in maintaining bicycle (...)
14:00 - SEMINAR - Fundamental Tests with Antihydrogen Atoms : Experiments with trapped anithydrogen atoms
|
More Information
|
Motivated by the baryogenesis problem (the scarcity of antimatter in the University), CERN's ALPHA collaboration has been studying the properties of antihydrogen atoms. Since 2010, we have been able to trap nearly 10000 antiatoms, and have kept some trapped for as long as 1000s. We have measured (...)

15:00 - SEMINAR - Physics Seminar : Title: Ultrafast and Very Small: Discover Nanoscale Magnetism With Picosecond Time Resolution Using X-Rays
|
More Information
|
Today’s magnetic device technology is based on complex magnetic alloys or multilayers that are patterned at the nanoscale and operate at gigahertz frequencies. To better understand the behaviour of such devices one needs an experimental approach that is capable of detecting magnetization with (...)

15:00 - SEMINAR - �Multiscale model reduction for flows in heterogeneous porous media�
|
More Information
|
Abstract
We combine discrete empirical interpolation techniques, global mode decomposition methods, and local multiscale methods, to reduce the computational complexity associated with nonlinear flows in highly heterogeneous porous media. The resulting reduced-order approach enables a significant (...)

13:00 - FREE LECTURE - Discussions on New Discoveries in Gravitational Wave Search : This lecture will discuss the progress of gravitational wave discoveries.
|
More Information
|
The first detection of gravitational waves from binary black holes was made in September 2015. This not only confirmed Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity, but also marked the beginning of a new era of gravitational wave astronomy. In recognition of the promising revolutionary effect of (...)

13:00 - TALK - Mathematics Meets Art: Early Renaissance Art and the Need for Perspective
|
Website |
More Information
|
Not only did the early Renaissance painters seek to improve their methods of spatial illusionism, they believed that sophisticated knowledge of geometry was integral. Leon Battista Alberti (1435) believed the first requirement of a painter was to know geometry, whereas Piero Della Francesca went to (...)
