Spanier\, Drexel University DESCRIPTION:Title: Excitations and dynamics in inversion symmetry-broken phases \nSpeaker: Jonathan E Spanier \nAffiliation: Department of Materials Science & Engineering. Department of Physics. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Drexel University\, Philadelphia PA \nAbstract: Emergent phenomena in solids\, whether they involve lattice\, charge\, spin\, orbital\, or other degrees of freedom\, are attractive for creating\, stabilizing and/or controlling novel states of matter. New paradigms based on these phenomena are attractive candidates for capturing\, converting\, and carrying energy more efficiently. I will discuss two intriguing electromagnetic wave-matter interaction phenomena that can emerge in non-centrosymmetric solids. The first involves visible-light generation of two types of photovoltaic currents\, one of which transforms\, remarkably\, a band insulator into a high-mobility conductor. In the second\, we reimagine the energy landscape associated with a two-dimensional crystal defect that has traditionally been viewed as an impediment to the flow of radio-frequency microwave energy. Under special conditions a resonant behavior emerges\, enabling the material to exhibit dielectric properties that exceed intrinsic limits. \nBio: Jonathan E Spanier is Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Drexel University\, where he holds affiliated faculty appointments in the Department of Physics and in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. He received the PhD with Distinction from Columbia University in 2001 in applied physics and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in physical chemistry at Harvard University prior to joining the Drexel faculty in 2003. He investigates the structure\, physical\, electronic and dielectric properties of solid-state electronic materials. He probes the interactions of light with matter\, including Raman scattering revealing phase stability\, the effects of symmetry and nanoscale phenomena on photovoltaic energy conversion\, and electronic excitations and resonant phenomena. He also studies the solid phase epitaxy enabling formation of high-quality oxide perovskite films via atomic layer deposition. He was honored with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers\, the Army Research Office Young Investigator Program Award\, the Distinguished Service Award from the Louis R Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation\, and he was named a Louis and Bessie Stein Family Fellow. In 2016 he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society\, Division of Materials Physics.

Understanding the future of water resources and urban landscapes requires that we consider urban hydrologic change across a wide range of scales\, from the physical\, chemical\, and biological processes that operate within the built hydrologic system to the regional and continental-scale patterns of hydrologic change. It will also require ecologists and hydrologists to grapple with conceptual frameworks that distinguish clearly between ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ water bodies. \nBio: Dr. Jim Heffernan is an Assistant Professor in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. He is an ecosystem ecologist whose work addresses the causes and consequences of major change in streams\, rivers\, and wetlands\, including the effects of land use\, water management\, and climatic change. Dr. Heffernan’s work focuses on how feedbacks among ecological\, physical\, and biogeochemical processes shape responses to these drivers\, and applies a wide range of tools and theories developed for local ecosystems to better understand ecological patterns and mechanisms at regional and continental scales.

The three stop codons of the genetic code are recognized by a protein release factor. However\, release factors in bacteria and eukaryotes appear to have no structural or sequence similarity. In this talk\, Dr. Ramakrishnan will describe structural work that sheds light on the basis of release factor function in the two domains of life and show that despite their dissimilarity\, they share certain common features and mechanisms. \nRegister to attend in-person or via livestream. \nFor more information about the ASRC’s fifth anniversary celebration\, please visit our website. \nThank you to our sponsors: URL:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/event/asrc-5th-anniversary-lecture-venkatraman-ramakrishnan-ph-d-mrc-laboratory-of-molecular-biology-cambridge-uk/ LOCATION:Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC)\, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States CATEGORIES:5x5 Anniversary,Structural Biology END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190927T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190927T173000 DTSTAMP:20260814T161804 CREATED:20190918T144641Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190918T151159Z UID:10001037-1569583800-1569605400@asrc.gc.cuny.edu SUMMARY:Smart Cities in a Changing Climate: Developing the 21st Century Workforce DESCRIPTION:Smart cities are instrumented\, interconnected\, and ‘intelligent’ – utilizing complex analytics\, numerical modeling\, optimization\, and visualization tools to support their operational-decision making. Smart city innovations have the potential to improve urban livability and sustainability\, and also present significant opportunity for the private sector – the global smart cities market value is forecast to exceed USD 1.5 trillion by 2025. As cities both play a key role in climate change mitigation and face the urgent challenge of adapting to the impacts of climate change\, the ultimate success of the smart city movement will depend on professionals equipped with both the technical competence needed to work with large\, complex climate and related data\, and the broader expertise in associated issues of ethics\, privacy\, and economics. As part of Climate Week NYC\, we invite university students\, faculty\, industry professionals and city decision-makers to join us for a half-day event\, focused on preparing the workforce needed to develop smart\, resilient cities. \n  \nEvent Agenda: \n11:30am – Noon: Registration \nNoon – 2:00pm: Workshop: Building University Partnerships (Faculty/Employers) \n2:00 – 4:00pm: Plenary: Climate ‘Smart’ Cities Workforce Development \n4:00– 5:30pm: Networking Reception \n  \nPlease register to participate by Friday\, September 20th:\nhttps://asrc_esi.formstack.com/forms/climateweek2019 URL:https://asrc.gc.cuny.edu/event/smart-cities-in-a-changing-climate-developing-the-21st-century-workforce/ LOCATION:ASRC Auditorium & Cafe\, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace\, New York\, NY\, 10031\, United States CATEGORIES:Environmental Sciences END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
