SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Disease Ecologist\, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies\, will present a one- hour talk titled: \n Racial Legacies\, Mosquito Ecology\, and Human Exposure Risk in a Temperate City \nAbstract: Vector-borne disease (VBD) is a growing risk to urban communities across the globe. Rising cases of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue\, Zika and chikungunya in temperate cities highlight critical gaps in understanding of how interacting ecological and socio-economic conditions influence VBD risk in complex\, seasonal landscapes. Our multidisciplinary research team explores important trends and mechanisms explaining changing mosquito-human exposure in Baltimore City\, MD (USA). Our results show how legacies of race-based investment continue to influence variability in mosquito abundances and human exposure\, and that interacting poverty and climate forces can affect mosquito traits that are important to fitness and viral transmission. Finally\, we explore how changing climate and urban greening efforts continuously refine the heterogeneous riskscape of VBD in temperate cities and consider relevant scales of predictability and management potential. \nBio: Shannon LaDeau is a community and disease ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook\, NY. Her research program integrates empirical and model-based studies to better understand how species interactions\, abiotic filters\, and environmental stochasticity influence community function in real (often urban) landscapes. Her current work emphasizes data-model integration approaches for forecasting tick and mosquito vector abundances\, traits\, and associated human risk in the context of global change. LaDeau received her PhD at Duke University and completed an NSF Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellowship with Smithsonian Institution and the Ohio State University before joining the Cary Institute in 2008. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Fl Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 Passcode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Beizhan Yan\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In this one- hour seminar Beizhan Yan\, PhD\, Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University will present a one-hour talk titled: “Microplastic Distribution and Associated Pathogens and Pollutants in NYC Waterways.” \nAbstract: Varying levels of microplastics were observed in NYC waters\, with the highest concentration observed in Newtown Creek and the lowest in the Hudson upstream of New York Harbor. Additionally\, in-situ adsorption experiments conducted in Newtown Creek and Brooklyn Navy Yard demonstrated the potential of microplastics to transport pollutants and pathogens including tuberculosis. Notably\, flame retardant compounds such as PCBs\, PBDEs\, and TBBPA were found on plastic pellet surfaces\, with significantly higher adsorption on HDPE compared to PVC. Gene analyses revealed significant differences in microbial community between water and plastic samples. Using a modeling approach\, we estimated that the\nresidence time of microplastics in the Harbor-estuary region is approximately two weeks\, with a predominant transport pathway down the New Jersey coast\, eventually entering the Atlantic Ocean. \nBio: Dr. Beizhan Yan received his Ph.D. in 2004 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)\, Troy\, NY and currently\, he is a Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. In 2007\, he joined LDEO\, and since then\, he has established an Environmental Organic Geochemistry Lab from scratch with the ability to extract\, isolate\, and identify organic contaminants and biomarkers from environmental and biological samples. He is leading collaborative studies in measuring the microplastic and nanoplastics in NYC waterways and air and characterizing their exposures\, and linking exposures to various adverse health outcomes\, including neurodegeneration diseases. \nThis seminar will take place in person\, with lunch provided at 1pm.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Rohit Chikkaraddy\, University of Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Rohit Chikkaraddy\, University of Birmingham\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Single-molecule mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy and detection in plasmonic nanogaps.” \nAbstract – The detection of molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared (MIR) range (λ=3-30μm) at room temperature has a wide range of applications including gas sensing\, medical imaging\, astronomical survey\, and quantum communication. However\, current technologies rely on energy-intensive low-temperature semiconductor detectors such as mercury cadmium telluride\, which are limited by thermal noise. In this talk\, I will present our recent developments in overcoming this challenge using plasmonic nanogaps\, by upconverting low-energy MIR light into high-energy visible light (λ=500-800nm)\, which can be detected using silicon technology capable of single-photon detection [1-3]. This involves strongly coupling surface plasmons between two metallic nanostructures spaced a few nanometers apart\, confining light to extreme dimensions and enabling coherent coupling of light to electronic and vibrational states of molecules assembled in the nanogaps. The measured coupling strengths approach strong light-molecule coupling at room temperature [4\,5]\, enabling Purcell-enhanced light emission [6] and optomechanics with bond vibrations [7]. Recent advancements in surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and enhanced light emission have unlocked new possibilities for detecting molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared range at room temperature. Here\, I will present three different methods to achieve this (Fig.1). The first method involves using nanoparticle-on-foil nanocavities that can support both visible and MIR plasmonic hotspots\, allowing modulation of molecular SERS signals in the presence of MIR photons due to the MIR absorption in the phonon resonance of the substrates [2\,8]. The second method involves the suppression of phonon absorption\, and 140% amplification of the SERS antiStokes emission when an MIR pump is tuned to a molecular vibrational frequency [3\,10]. The third method involves assembling molecular emitters into nanoscale cavities and continuously pumping them with optical energy\, resulting in the transduction of MIR light absorbed by the molecular vibrations into visible luminescence [1\,9]. These demonstrations hold immense potential not just for molecular spectroscopy and sensing but also for quantum preparation of vibrational states for mode-selective chemistry and nano-optics\, leading to a wide range of possibilities. \nReferences\n[1] Chikkaraddy\, Rohit\, et al. arXiv:2205.07792 (2022).

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yandong Li\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Yandong Li\, Cornell University\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Topological Directional Coupler Based on a Designer Domain Wall.” \nAbstract – Nobel laureate H. Kroemer’s famous quote in 2000\, “The interface is the device”\, summarized the historic success of semiconductors. For the following two decades\, the dictionary of new materials has been greatly enriched. With topological insulators\, artificial metamaterials\, moiré superlattices\, etc.\, we expect versatile\, robust\, and compact photonic and electronic components to emerge. \nIn this talk\, I will present a topological directional coupler that couples edge modes in a tunable way while maintaining their unidirectionality. The first part will focus on the design\, the theoretical analysis\, and\, particularly\, the idea of interfering and programming topological modes by intentionally breaking or relaxing the corresponding symmetry. Then\, I will present the experimental results of a classical Rabi oscillation performed by this topological directional coupler. I will conclude with the future prospects of this design and its potential applications in building large-scale efficient\, robust\, and compact optical computing machinery. \nBio – Yandong Li is a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Gennady Shvets in the School of Applied and Engineering at Cornell University. He received his BSc in Engineering Physics from Case Western Reserve University in 2016. His research interest spans topological photonics\, metamaterials\, and optical computing. \nThis seminar will be presented in the 5th fl Data Viz Room\, with the option to join online via Zoom. \nTo join via Zoom: \nID 858 5234 0862 \nPasscode 723514 \nFor further information\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Alexander Senichev\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Alexander Senichev\, Purdue University\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Quantum Photonics with Intrinsic Single-Photon Emitters in Silicon Nitride.” \nAbstract – Photonic-based quantum platforms are highly promising for both fundamental studies and practical applications in quantum information science due to photon’s ultimate speed\, weak interactions with matter and robustness to decoherence. Discovering and exploring on-chip photonic elements that can efficiently generate\, manipulate\, and detect quantum states of light\, and integrate these components in a low-loss and scalable platform\, is an urgent need. Silicon nitride (SiN) is one of the most promising and established material platforms for integrated quantum photonics. However\, until recently\, SiN lacked an intrinsic atomic-like source of single photons\, which required the use of probabilistic nonlinear sources or hybrid heterogeneous integration with other materials hosting quantum emitters. In our research\, we discovered intrinsic color centers in low-autofluorescence SiN and developed techniques for their creation [1]. These emitters exhibit high single-photon purity and brightness at room temperature. Furthermore\, they can be monolithically integrated with the technologically favorable silicon nitride photonics platforms [2]\, which holds great potential for various applications in the quantum domain. In my talk\, I will delve into our research effort to engineer these novel quantum emitters in SiN\, integrate them with on-chip photonic structures\, and explore their photophysical properties [3] and potential avenues for their improvement and applications.\nReferences\n[1] Senichev et al.\, Sci.

He completed his doctoral research at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics (Germany) and obtained his Ph.D. in Physics with distinction in 2016\, followed by a postdoctoral position in the Quantum Semiconductor Systems Group at Purdue University. He joined the Prof. Shalaev’s Group in 2020 to work on the goal of developing materials for quantum photonic devices\, which involves exploring optically active defects in solids with the aim of identifying a new generation of chip-integrated solid-state quantum emitters. His contributions to the field include the discovery of single-photon emitters in a technologically important silicon nitride photonic platform. \nThis is an in-person seminar.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Dragomir Neshev\, Australian National University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Dragomir Neshev\, Australian National University\, will be presenting a talk titled\, “Nonlinear and quantum light sources from ultra-thin nanostructured surfaces.” \nAbstract – Nonlinear optical phenomena are central to a myriad of applications in light sources and microscopy. Nonlinear optical effects\, such as harmonic generation\, frequency mixing and spontaneous parametric down conversion are fundamentally enhanced in materials with a high refractive index\, as well as by the presence of resonant photonic environment. These conditions are automatically fulfilled in resonant dielectric metasurfaces\, which has triggered large interest in nonlinearity enhancement at the nanoscale. Despite their small volume\, the dielectric metasurfaces can enhance the nonlinear frequency conversion to a level similar to millimetre-scale nonlinear crystals. Importantly\, the nanostructuring enables properties not possible in bulk crystals\, including engineering of the directionality of emission and polarisation of the emitted light. In this talk\, I will review our group’s recent advances in the field of nonlinear metasurfaces for enhancement of nonlinear frequency conversion\, generation of entangled photons and nonlinear upconversion imaging. \nBio – Dragomir Neshev is the Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) and a Professor of Physics at the Australian National University (ANU). He received a PhD from Sofia University\, Bulgaria\, in 1999. Since then\, he has worked at several research centres worldwide before joining the ANU in 2002. He has been recognized for his outstanding work with numerous honours\, including being named a Highly Cited Researcher (Web of Science\, 2022 & 2021)\, receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship (ARC\, 2010)\, and being awarded a Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship (European Commission\, 2001). His activities span several branches of optics\, including meta-optics\, metasurfaces\, periodic photonic structures\, and singular optics. \nThis is an in-person seminar.

SUMMARY:Summer 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Junsuk Rho\, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)\, Korea
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Junsuk Rho\, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)\, Korea\, will be presenting a talk titled:  “Perspectives of design\, materials\, and fabrication for metasurfaces.” \nAbstract – We represent AI-designed metasurfaces[1\, 2] and three low-cost manufacturing: 1)\nnanoimprinting with high-refractive-index dielectric particle embedding resin (PER)[2-5]\, 2)\nbandgap engineering of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)[6]\, and 3) atomic-layer coating\non imprinted resin[7]. a-Si[3]\, TiO2[2\, 4]\, and ZrO2 PERs[5] are used for metasurfaces at infrared\n(940 nm)\, visible (532 nm)\, and ultraviolet (325 and 248 nm)\, respectively; measured efficiencies\nreach 47% (940 nm)\, 91% (532 nm)\, 72% (325 nm)\, and 49% (248 nm). PER metasurfaces with\nan inverse design provide 3D\, full-color holography at visible[2]. The bandgap of a-Si:H is\nengineered to suppress optical losses\, realizing metasurface efficiencies of 42% (450 nm)\, 65%\n(532 nm)\, and 75% (635 nm)[6]. We deposit an atomic layer on resin for 12-inch metasurfaces\,\nachieving measured efficiencies of 61% (450 nm)\, 78% (532 nm)\, and 65% (635 nm)[7].\nReferences:\n1. “MAXIM: Metasurfaces-oriented electromagnetic wave simulation software with intuitive graphical user\ninterfaces\,” Computer Physics Communications 264\, 107846 (2021).\n2. “Breaking the information capacity limits of single-celled metasurfaces using inverse design\,” Advanced\nMaterials 35\, 2208520 (2023).\n3. “Printable nanocomposite metalens for high-contrast near-infrared imaging\,” ACS Nano 15\, 698-706 (2021).\n4. “Metasurface holography reaching the highest efficiency limit in the visible via one-step nanoparticleembedded-\nresin printing\,” Laser & Photonics Reviews\, 16\, 2200098 (2022).\n5. “Single-step manufacturing of hierarchical dielectric metalens in the visible”\, Nature Communications 11\, 2268\n(2020)\n6. “One-step printable platform for high-efficiency metasurfaces down to the deep ultraviolet region\,” Light\nScience and Applications 12\, 68 (2023)\n7. “Revealing structural disorder in hydrogenated amorphous silicon for a low-loss photonic platform at visible\nfrequencies\,” Advanced Materials 33\, 2005893 (2021).\n8. “Mass-production of visible metalenses\,” Nature Materials 22\, 474-481 (2023). \nBio – Prof. Rho is a Mu-Eun-Jae (无垠斋) Endowed Chair Professor and Young Distinguished\nProfessor at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)\, Korea\, with a double\nappointment in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical\nEngineering.

SUMMARY:ASRC Structural Biology Initiative Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Juliette Fedry\nStructural Biochemistry\nBijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research\nUtrecht University\, Utrecht\, The Netherlands \nMolecular visualization of cellular processes in mammalian cells\nNew insights into mRNA translation and the dynamics of the Nuclear Envelope under stress\nAbstract    To understand cellular processes\, it is important to visualize the proteins catalyzing the corresponding biochemical reactions. Over the last decades\, X-ray crystallography has allowed the very detailed visualization of purified proteins\, importantly contributing to our understanding of their functions and mechanisms of action. Recent method developments in the field of cryo electron tomography (cryoET) now open the door to structural studies of macromolecular complexes in a more biologically relevant context\, such as vesicles for membrane complexes or ultimately directly within the cell. \nIn my recent work\, I visualized the mRNA translation process in situ\, in intact mammalian cells and analyzed its reorganization under persistent collision stress. My results highlight the presence of a Z-site bound tRNA on 80S complexes\, increased under stress and stabilized on collided disomes\, as well as the accumulation of an off-pathway 80S complex likely resulting from collision splitting events. We further observe the apparition of tRNAbound aberrant 40S complexes shifting with the stress timepoint\, suggesting a succession of different initiation inhibition mechanisms over time. \nTo visualize the translocation of secretory protein nascent chains into the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) on native membranes\, we used cryoET on vesicles derived from the rough ER of mammalian cell lines. We characterized the distinct populations of translocon complexes assembled in the ER membrane and revealed their clustering according to polysomes translating different types of nascent chains. We obtained a subtomogram average of the most abundant translocon variant at subnanometer resolution and built the corresponding atomic model\, revealing new interactions between its main components. \nFinally\, I investigated the dynamics of the nuclear envelope under ER stress and recovery. I visualized this process in mammalian cells\, shedding light on how autophagy processes proceed to the specific degradation of outer nuclear membrane portions.\n\n\n\n  \nSEMINAR LOCATION:\nNew York Structural Biology Center\, 89 Convent Ave\, New York\nSeminar Room A-11\n<>\nTHIS SEMINAR MAY ALSO BE VIEWED REMOTELY VIA ZOOM:\nMeeting ID:  870 5022 4531\nPasscode:  165802\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Juliette Fedry Seminar Flyer  (334KB .PDF file)

SUMMARY:!CANCELLED as of 9/5/23!            ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rohit Pappu\, Washington University in St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:As of 9/5/23 this seminar has been CANCELLED. Please continue to check the events page for updates and/or rescheduling.  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin us for the first Biochem Seminar of the Fall on September 6th with Distinguished Professor\, Rohit Pappu\, from McKelvey School of Engineering at the Washington University in St. Louis! These seminars will take place every Wednesday at noon in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTalk title: “Emergent consequences of macromolecular phase transitions.” \nABSTRACT Phase transitions of associative macromolecules enable spatial and temporal organization over cellular matter. The talk will present insights regarding hidden complexities underlying evolutionarily selected physico-chemical principles that govern the driving forces for phase transitions and material properties of condensates formed by prion-like low complexity domains of proteins. The talk will also cover ground on the transferability of core physical principles to describe the assembly of cellular condensates such as nucleoli. Both aspects of the talk will stress emergent properties that result from the totality of processes that come under the rubric of condensation of macromolecules. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the Cafe. \nTo join via Zoom:\nMeeting ID: 966 7763 1144\nPasscode: asrc-ccny \nTo download the full seminar flyer: 20230906 flyer \nTo download the full speaker schedule: Biochem Speaker Meeting Schedule_Fall_2023 \n  \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu \n

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon!  For this first seminar of the semester\, Professor of Genetic Medicine and Molecular Biology and Genetics\, Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University\, will present a talk titled: “Assembly and Function of RNA granules \nin C. elegans.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    RNA granules are assemblies of RNA and proteins not limited by membranes. RNA granules contain factors for RNA biogenesis and turnover and are often assumed to represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry. We use the C. elegans model to study RNA granules in a native\, whole animal context.  Our studies support the view that RNA granules are assembled by phase separation\, a thermodynamic process that causes interacting proteins and RNAs to de-mix from the cytoplasm to form condensed droplets.  I will discuss active mechanisms used by cells to control the assembly and distribution of P granules in embryos\, including protein clusters that form a type of “primitive membrane” on the surface of P granules to reduce surface tension and regulate granule dynamics. I will also discuss recent experiments that challenge the view that RNA granules represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry and present evidence that some are “incidental condensates”\, non-functional minor condensation by-products that form when sub-soluble RNA-protein complexes saturate the cytoplasm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Geraldine Seydoux Seminar Flyer  (234 KB .PDF file) \nDownload the Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule (189 KB .PDF file)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join via Zoom: \nMeeting ID:  966 7763 1144\nPasscode:  asrc-ccny \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Vladimir N. Uversky\, University of South Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Vladimir N. Uversky\, professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of South Florida\, will be presenting a talk titled: \n“From polyfunctionality to multipathogenicity with intrinsic disorder.”\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABSTRACT  Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack stable tertiary and/or secondary structure under physiological conditions in vitro. They are highly abundant in nature and have functional repertoire which is very broad and complements functions of ordered proteins. Often\, intrinsically disordered proteins are involved in regulation\, signaling and control pathways. Functions of IDPs may arise from the specific disordered form\, from inter-conversion of disordered forms\, or from transitions between disordered and ordered as well as between ordered and disordered conformations. The choice between these conformations is determined by the peculiarities of the protein environment\, and many IDPs possess an exceptional ability to fold in a template-dependent manner. These proteins are often key players in protein-protein interaction networks being highly abundant among hubs. Regions of mRNA which undergo alternative splicing code for disordered proteins more often than they code for structured proteins. This association of alternative splicing and intrinsic disorder helps proteins to avoid folding difficulties and provides a novel mechanism for developing tissue-specific protein interaction networks. IDPs are tightly controlled in the norm by various genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Alteration in regulation of this disordered regulators are often detrimental to a cell and many IDPs are associated with a variety of human diseases such as cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, amyloidoses\, neurodegenerative diseases\, diabetes and others. Therefore\, there is an intriguing interconnection between intrinsic disorder\, cell signaling and human diseases. Pathogenic IDPs\, such as α-synuclein\, tau protein\, p53\, BRCA1 and many other disease-associated hub proteins represent attractive targets for drugs modulating protein-protein interactions. Several strategies have been elaborated for elucidating the mechanisms of blocking of the intrinsic disorder-based protein-protein interactions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Full Speaker Flyer Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Uversky will be giving this talk via Zoom.
