SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:OGPS Science Writing & Communication Workshop Series Spring 2025
DESCRIPTION:OGPS Career & Professional Development - Science Writing & Communication\n\nThis series of workshops aims to equip you with practical skills and knowledge for writing science with confidence as part of your training (MS\, PhD\, or postdoc). You will have a chance to learn best practices and strategies necessary to best prepare your manuscript\, or your grant/fellowship application. Each workshop will provide opportunities to engage and learn how to develop your writing and presentation skills.Aims & Objectives:Learn how to structure your academic writing for manuscripts\, grant applications\, and conference abstracts with narrative principles Help you prepare your NSF GRFP applications.Discuss effective presentation practices and strategies to improve how our science is presented\, ensuring clarity and audience engagement.Provide guidance on how and when to best use Gen-AI in the writing process.Boost your confidence and productivity in your writing skills.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special CM-AMO Seminar | New Many-Body Complexes in Two-Dimensional Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:2D monolayer semiconductors have emerged as an important class of materials for fundamental physics and many applications. Due to strong Coulomb interaction\, they provide an important platform for studying many-body complexes or quasi-particles such as excitons\, trions\, bi-excitons\, and other possible new species. This talk will focus on our recent results of spectroscopic studies of the monolayer MoTe2\, especially the existence of possible new species involving three and four electrons and holes. We will show that the common concept of a trion needs to be re-examined and there is a spectral splitting between a charged exciton and a genuei trion. In the case of four fermions\, our combined theoretical and experimental results will be presented to show strong evidence for the existence of a new four-particle entity\, a genuei four-body bound state called quadruplon which does not involve excitons and is different from the bi exciton.  \n\nDr. Ning is a Chaired Professor and a College Dean at Shenzhen Tech University. He obtained his PhD at University of Stuttgart and was a winner of Humbold Research Award. He has been a Professor at Tsinghua University\, the founding Director of Tsinghua International Center for Nano-Optoelectronics\, and Professor at Arizona State University. He is widely recognized for his research on semiconductor lasers and nanolasers\, nanophotonic materials\, physics\, and devices. Among many of his research accomplishments\, his team demonstrated the first plasmonic nanolasers and the first monolithic white lasers. Dr. Ning is a Fellow of the Optica (OSA)\, IEEE\, and the Electromagnetic Academy\, and a member of US National Academy of Invention.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Critical Visualities Movie Showing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a showing of Ryan Coogler's new film Sinners at the Michigan Theater. An early dinner\, courtesy of Critical Visualities\, will precede at Ashley's (338 S. State Street)\, 5:00-6:15 PM\, where we will discuss analytical (and other) approaches to filmic visual materials. The first five respondents will also receive free movie admission! \nIf you are only able to join the film viewing\, please arrive for the movie by no later than 6:30 PM. We will meet at the front entrance of the theater (233 S. State Street) at that time. The movie begins at 6:45 PM. \nBrief discussion of interpretations of the film will follow.
