SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Mechanical Sensors for Dark Matter and Neutrinos
DESCRIPTION:The development of optomechanical systems—in which the motion of a massive object is controlled and measured using light—has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach\, and even surpass\, quantum measurement limits\, they can enable new searches for extremely weakly coupled phenomena including gravitational waves\, dark matter\, and sterile neutrinos.\n\nAs a demonstration of these techniques\, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor\, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter in just a few days of operation. If a signal were detected\, such sensors may be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy\, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. In addition\, I will discuss future applications of such sensors to neutrino physics in a table-top scale experiment. Results from a recent proof-of-principle measurement demonstrate that the force imparted by a single nuclear decay occurring within an optically levitated\, dust-sized particle can be detected.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called \"small talk\"\, where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship. For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!
