SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combining Vibronic and Environmental Effects with Machine Learning in Simulations of Linear and Nonlinear Optical Spectra: Resolving the Challenge of Modeling the Spectrum of GFP Chromophore in Water
DESCRIPTION:Including both environmental and vibronic effects is important for accurate simulation of optical spectra\, but combining these effects remains computationally challenging. This talk will outline two approaches for spectral simulations that consider both the explicit atomistic environment and vibronic transitions. Both phenomena are responsible for spectral shapes in linear spectroscopy and the electronic evolution measured in nonlinear spectroscopy. The first approach utilizes snapshots of chromophore-environment configurations for which chromophore normal modes are determined. The second approach obtains excitation energies for a series of time-correlated snapshots. Both approaches make strides towards more accurate optical spectroscopy simulations.  I will show how the approaches can also be made computationally feasible through machine learning of ground and excited state potentials\, opening the door to new physical insights of complex condensed phase systems.  By combining vibronic and environmental effects\, along with machine learning for high level wave function theory\, we resolve the long-standing challenge of accurately simulating the linear absorption spectrum of the aqueously solvated GFP chromophore.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: On theGross-Pitaevskii equation linearized around the Ginzburg-Landau vortex of degree one
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will discuss recent work with Jonas Luhrmann and Wilhem Schlag on the evolution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation linearized around the Ginzburg-Landau vortex of degree one\, under equivariant symmetry. Among the main results are the determination of the spectrum of the (non-selfadjoint) linearized operator\, uncovering a remarkable L^2 growth phenomenon related to zero-energy resonance\, and a complete construction of the distorted Fourier transform at small energies. The latter hinges upon a meticulous analysis of the behavior of the resolvent in the upper and lower half-planes in a small disk around zero-energy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - There and back again: Philopatry\, global change\, and the evolution of seasonal migration
DESCRIPTION:Seminar summary: Bird migration is one of our world’s most celebrated natural wonders. But how and why has migration evolved\, and what influence does it have on the ecology and evolution of migratory species? Ben will discuss research that his lab has been conducting on the evolutionary dynamics of bird migration. This work highlights seasonal migration as an adaptive strategy for site fidelity\, challenging traditional views of migration as a dispersal strategy for exploring new territories. The work further reveals migratory distance as a fundamental axis of the slow-fast continuum of life history that predicts the balance of survival and reproduction\, and leads to enhanced demographic stability and genetic diversity over evolutionary timescales.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Foreigners in Their Own Land: Chernobyl under the Russian Occupation (2022)
DESCRIPTION:On February 24\, 2022\, the first day of Russia’s all-out attack on Ukraine\, armored vehicles approached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine. Russian occupation of the plant\, which would last thirty-five days\, had begun. Only the dedication and resolve of Ukrainian personnel\, who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days\, spared the world a new Chernobyl accident. Meanwhile\, a much more dangerous situation developed at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine\, the largest such facility in Europe. Following an attack there in March 2022\, the Russian military remains in control. In this lecture Serhii Plokhii discusses the challenges that the Russian takeover of the nuclear sites presents to the world. We must face up to a new reality: there has already been warfare at two nuclear sites\, and others are vulnerable. The lecture is based on Plokhii’s most recent book\, \"Chernobyl Roulette\" (2024).\n\nSerhii Plokhii (Plokhy) is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History and the director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. A leading authority on Ukraine\, Russia\, and Eastern Europe\, he has published extensively on the international history of World War II and the Cold War. His books won numerous awards\, including the Lionel Gelber Prize for the best English-language book on international relations and the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction (UK). His latest book\, \"Chernobyl Roulette: War in the Nuclear Disaster Zone\" was released by W.W. Norton in US and Penguin in UK in September May 2024.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Identification of Nonlinear Dynamic Panels  under Partial Stationarity
DESCRIPTION:This paper provides a general identification approach for a wide range of nonlinear panel data models\, including binary choice\, ordered response\, and other types of limited dependent variable models. Our approach accommodates dynamic models with any number of lagged dependent variables as well as other types of (potentially contempo- rary) endogeneity. Our identification strategy relies on a partial stationarity condition\, which not only allows for an unknown distribution of errors but also for temporal dependencies in errors. We derive partial identification results under flexible model specifications and provide additional support conditions for point identification. We demonstrate the robust finite-sample performance of our approach using Monte Carlo simulations\, and apply the approach to analyze the empirical application of income categories using various ordered choice models.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Public Lecture| Why we explore
DESCRIPTION:Humanity faces real and present problems. Our resources to address these problems are limited. It’s easy to think\, then\, that we should devote ourselves to our most promising solutions.\nIt’s easy\, but it’s wrong.\nThe great paradox of scientific research is that pure exploration – research into deep questions motivated by pure curiosity\, without concern for applications – is ultimately what transforms our lives in tangible\, practical ways.\nIn this talk\, I will speak not just as a physicist interested in puzzles of quantum entanglement and five-dimensional black holes\, but also as someone who has spent the past 25 years helping to establish and grow an institute dedicated to fundamental research. I will make the case for blue-sky research and share my optimism about our collective future.\n\nBio\nRobert Myers (PhD\, Princeton University\, 1986) is the BMO Financial Group Isaac\nNewton Chair at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo\, Ontario\,\nCanada. He joined Perimeter as a founding faculty in 2001\, was the Interim Director\nfrom 2007 to 2008\, served as Faculty Chair from 2011 to 2018\, and as the Director in\n2019 to 2024. Prior to coming to Perimeter\, he was a Professor of Physics at McGill\nUniversity.\nMyers has broad interests in theoretical physics\, with contributions ranging from\nquantum field theory to black holes and cosmology. Several of his discoveries\, such as\nthe “Myers effect” and “linear dilaton cosmology” have been influential in seeding new\nlines of research. His current research focuses on the interplay of quantum\nentanglement and spacetime geometry\, and on applying new perspectives and tools\nfrom quantum information science to the study of quantum gravity.\nAmong his many honours\, Myers has been awarded the Herzberg Medal by the\nCanadian Association of Physicists (1999)\, the CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and\nMathematical Physics by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and the Centre\nde Recherches Mathématiques (2005)\, the Vogt Medal by the CAP and TRIUMF\n(2012)\, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Waterloo (2018)\, and the\nCAP Medal for Lifetime Achievements in Physics (2024). In 2006\, he was elected a\nFellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and he was named a Fellow of the Canadian\nAssociation of Physicists in 2024.\n\nHe has served on numerous advisory boards\, including the Banff International\nResearch Station (2001-05)\, the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (2012-16)\, the\nWilliam I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute (2015-20)\, and the Max Planck Institute for\nGravitational Physics (2018-present). He has also served on the editorial boards of\nAnnals of Physics (2002-12) and the Journal of High Energy Physics (2007-present).

SUMMARY:Meeting:Lingering in the Wound: Sadism and Confusion as Aesthetic Practice
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: April 3\, 4pm - 6pm\nWorkshop: April 4\, 11:30pm - 1pm\n\nContrasting the logic that wounds only produce suffering and that\, therefore\, the proper approach to trauma is the reparative\, Saketopoulou draws our attention to the concept of traumatophilia\, which conditions a differently textured relation to injury. In this talk\, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it\, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks\, rather\, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis\, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood\, and which\, importantly\, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction\, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo\, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity\, understanding\, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion.\n\nAvgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma\, gender\, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk\, Race\, Traumatophilia (NYU Press\, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023). \n\nThank you to our co-sponsors: \nInstitute for the Humanities\, UMOR\, and LSA DEI Office

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Long-Run Effects of Psychotherapy on Depression and Economic Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:We study the long-run effects of therapy for depression on mental health and eco- nomic outcomes amongst adults in India. We revisit a clinical trial that randomized depressed adults (n=493) to a brief course of psychotherapy delivered by non-specialists or to a control condition. Five years later\, the treatment group was 12 percentage points less likely to be depressed than the control group and had experienced 9 fewer months of depression on average over five years\, implying a cost of $7.3 per month of depression averted. These effects exceeded expert predictions. Despite sustained improvements in mental health\, we find no significant impacts on employment or consumption\, sug- gesting that improved mental health alone may not be enough to persistently improve economic well-being in low-income settings.
