Photonics Initiative Seminar: Bing Cheng

Terahertz probes of quantum matter: from pairing symmetry to high harmonics Quantum materials often harbor emergent orders and phases that reveal themselves at low-energy scales, around 1 to 10 meV. To investigate these collective behaviors, we turn to the terahertz energy regime—a crucial window for probing and controlling quantum phenomena. In this talk, I will

Guest Speaker: Dr. King Hang Aaron Lau, PhD

Peptoid Self-Assembly: from Minimal Peptoids to Cell Membrane Interactions   King Hang Aaron Lau, PhD Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Materials and Bionanotechnology Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK   Abstract- N-substituted glycine “peptoids” are close structural isomers of peptides and can be synthesized with both natural and non-natural sidechains. Their self-assembly is

Neuroscience Seminar: Norman J. Haughey, Ph.D., The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Targeting neutral sphingomyelinase to improve remyelination Speaker Norman J. Haughey Ph.D. Professor and Vice Chair of Research for the Department of Neurology Professor of Neuroimmunology and Neurological Infections Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Abstract For reasons that are not completely understood, remyelination is often incomplete, resulting in thin myelin sheaths with a disorganized myelin
