SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Christian Kern\, University of Utah
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christian Kern\, University of Utah \nTitle: On the Hall effect in three-dimensional metamaterials \nAbstract: The Hall effect describes the appearance of a transversal voltage\, the so-called Hall voltage\,in a current-carrying slab of material that is subject to an external magnetic field. Mathematically\, the effect is described by an antisymmetric contribution to the conductivity tensor that is proportional to the magnetic field. This antisymmetric contribution is linked to the nonreciprocity of the effect\, which is a result of the external magnetic field breaking time-reversal symmetry. In the isotropic case\, the relevant material properties are given by a scalar parameter\, the so-called Hall coefficient. In metamaterials\, very unusual values of the effective Hall coefficient can be realized by tailoring their microscopic structure. In this talk\, based on the work of Marc Briane and Graeme Milton\, I will show that the effective Hall coefficient of a single-constituent porous metamaterial can be sign-inverted with respect to the Hall coefficient of the constituent material and how we were able to demonstrate this effect experimentally. Furthermore\, I will discuss structures with lower symmetry\, which are described by a rank-two tensor instead of a scalar Hall coefficient. In the last part of my talk\, I will elaborate on bounds on the effective Hall coeffcient and related effective material parameters. Such bounds can be obtained using results from perturbation theory or via the variational principles of Cherkaev\, Gibiansky\, and Milton. \nBio: Christian Kern is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah\, Salt Lake City. His research focuses on the theoretical description and experimental realization of three-dimensional composites and metamaterials with highly non-trivial geometries. C. Kern received his Ph.D. in Physics from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2019\, where he was advised by Martin Wegener. He holds a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Physics from ETH Zurich.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Colin A. Smith\, Wesleyan University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Colin A. Smith\, Assistant Professor in Chemistry\, Wesleyan University Middletown\, CT \nTitle: Elucidating Effects of Motion on Designed Fluorescent Proteins through Simulation and Improved Modeling of NMR Data \nAbstract: The de novo computational design of proteins with a predefined three-dimensional structure is becoming routine. However\, giving those molecules useful functions is often much more difficult. In that regard\, the recent design of proteins that activate the fluorescence of a small molecule chromophore is noteworthy. The design process created a large library of variants\, but gave no rational explanation of why one variant is brighter than another. Using both quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations\, we show that the ability of the protein to resist chromophore motion can predict brightness. In addition to providing avenues for optimizing these proteins\, this represents an ideal model system for studying how to design proteins that stabilize a particular ligand conformation\, a critical aspect of enzyme design. To further characterize the solution dynamics of this and other proteins in full-atom detail\, we are developing new computational techniques that can extract dynamics from nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments used for structure determination. Due to numerous approximations\, those structures often have limited accuracy and many aspects of inherent protein flexibility are neglected. To overcome this\, we recently developed a new computational method\, called the Kinetic Ensemble approach\, that rigorously quantifies protein motion from NOE data. \n

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Andrea Blanco-Redondo\, NOKIA Bell Labs
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Blanco-Redondo\, NOKIA Bell Labs \nTitle: Topological quantum photonics and novel soliton physics \nAbstract: In this talk I will review our work on topological and nonlinear photonics. First\, I will cover the latest developments in the field of topological quantum photonics with special emphasis on our experimental results on entangled states of topological modes in silicon waveguide arrays.

Prior to this\, from 2015 to early 2019\, she was the Professor Harry Messel Research Fellow of the School of Physics of the University of Sydney\, in Australia\, and from 2007 to 2014 she was a senior photonics researcher with the Aerospace and Telecom departments of Tecnalia\, Spain. She got her PhD in photonics at the University of the Basque Country\, Bilbao\, Spain\, and her MSc in Telecom Engineering at the University of Valladolid\, Valladolid\, Spain. She is an Associate Editor with OSA Continuum and a member of the Editorial Board of APL Photonics. She is also the recipient of the 2016 Geoff Opat Award of the Australian Optical Society to the top Australian Early Career Researcher\, and of the Spanish 2014 Ada Byron Award to the top Women in Technology.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Mohammad Hafezi\, University of Maryland
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mohammad Hafezi\, University of Maryland \nTitle: Topological physics: from photons to electrons \nAbstract: There are many intriguing physical phenomena that are associated with topological features — global properties that are not discernible locally. The best-known examples are quantum Hall effects in electronic systems\, where insensitivity to local properties manifests itself as conductance through edge states which are insensitive to defects and disorder. In the talk\, we first discuss how similar physics can be explored with photons; specifically\, how various quantum Hall Hamiltonians can be simulated in an optical system.  We then discuss how strong interaction between photons can be created by the integration of topological photonic structures with solid-state quantum emitters. Our results may enable the development classical and quantum optical devices with built-in protection for next-generation optoelectronic and quantum technologies. \nBio: Mohammad Hafezi is an Associate Professor with a joint appointment in the Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments at the University of Maryland and a fellow of the Joint Quantum Institute. He studied for two years at Sharif University before completing his undergraduate degree from École Polytechnique. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2009. His research interest includes quantum optics\, topological physics\, condensed materials\, and quantum information sciences. He has had a number of pioneering contributions in exploring topological physics in synthetic systems such as photonic and atomic platforms\, including the first proposal and realization of topological edge states for optical photons. He is the recipient of the Sloan Fellowship\, the Young Investigator Award of the US Naval Research Office.
