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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Data and AI in Society Lecture Series | Industries of Ideas: Preparing People & Policy for Work in an AI Economy
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI burst into the public consciousness with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT at the end of 2022. In the two and a half years that followed\, we have seen the capabilities of foundation models like ChatGPT grow at a breathtaking rate\, but our understanding of AI’s implications for the economy and work has not kept pace. Public impact predictions have ranged from species extinction to utopia\, while even the most sober and technical economic forecasts have varied by amounts nearly twice the size of Germany’s economy.\n\nAs a result\, state and federal policymakers\, business and innovation leaders\, higher education institutions\, and everyday students\, families and workers face great uncertainty as they try to decide how to react to and prepare for the effects AI may have on business\, careers\, jobs\, education\, innovation\, and the prosperity and security of the United States. Much of this uncertainty stems from the lack of trustworthy\, timely\, local\, and actionable data about where the technology is headed\, how its capabilities may shape the workplaces of the future\, and what we can do to prepare.\n\nThis talk surveys some of the key issues for understanding AI effects on our jobs and the economy. It walks through initial findings the Industries of Ideas (IofI) project\, a new effort that brings together universities\, federal and state agencies\, business and economic development leaders\, and education and training providers to better understand how this new technology is shaping jobs and the skills needed to position the nation\, specific regions\, employers\, and individuals to thrive in an AI-driven economy.\n\nMeet Jason Owen-Smith:\n\nJason Owen-Smith is the Associate Vice President for Research at the University of Michigan\, where he drives the expansion data usage that strategically supports the University of Michigan’s research and creative enterprise. A Professor of Sociology and Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research\, his work examines the impact of large-scale networks on knowledge-intensive fields\, such as science\, engineering\, and surgical\ncare.\n\nProfessor Owen-Smith is the author of Research Universities and the Public Good and co-founder of the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science (IRIS)\, which curates data to improve the public value of academic research investments.
