SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Direct and Model-Independent Temperature Measurements in Extreme States of Matter
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTemperature is a cornerstone of thermodynamics\, yet its measurement in high-pressure solids\, dense opaque plasmas\, and highly ionized systems remains one of the greatest challenges in extreme physics. Accurate temperature diagnostics are essential for understanding material behavior under such conditions\, but traditional methods are often hindered by opacity and limited sensitivity. Using high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) at facilities like the Linac Coherent Light Source and European X-ray Free Electron Laser\, we developed an advanced diagnostic capable of directly probing bulk ion temperatures. This technique leverages the exceptional resolution and narrow bandwidth of IXS to detect small energy shifts and broadenings in scattered X-ray spectra\, offering unprecedented insights into the ion dynamics of matter in extreme states. In this talk\, I will highlight how IXS has been utilized to address: (1) Electron-ion equilibration rates in warm dense matter\, (2) superheating of solids to temperatures far exceeding their theoretical stability limits\, (3) bond hardening under non-equilibrium conditions\, and (4) Ion-acoustic wave propagation. The ability to directly measure ion temperatures and dynamics not only advances understanding of fundamental physics but also opens pathways for experimental research in HED science and beyond.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nThomas White is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Nevada-Reno. He earned the MS in physics from the Univ. of Bath (2005) and Ph.D. in Atomic and Laser Physics from Univ. of Oxford (2015)\, where his dissertation earned the Culham Thesis Prize. Before joining UNR in 2017\, he was a postdoc at Imperial College London and Univ. of Oxford. White’s research focuses on the behavior of matter under extreme conditions\, using high-power optical and X-ray free-electron lasers to replicate environments found in planetary interiors and fusion plasmas. His work combines experiments at facilities such as the NIF and the European X-ray Free Electron Laser with advanced quantum-mechanical simulations. His research is supported by the Department of Energy\, National Nuclear Security Administration\, and National Science Foundation. In 2021\, White received the NSF CAREER Award and UNR’s Mousel-Feltner Excellence in Research Award. He currently serves as Chair of the Jupiter Laser Facility Executive Committee and Deputy Chair of the High Energy Density Science Association.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Alum Connection with Felipe Munoz
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a career chat with Felipe Munoz\, a first-year associate at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. Felipe completed his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics here at the University of Michigan and later completed his Juris Doctor at Harvard Law School.\n\n\nBefore his journey to law school\, Felipe worked in a number of positions in the legal field. While in undergrad\, he sought out work at a local law firm\, and continued there throughout most of his four years. He also served as a judicial intern in the U.S. Department of Justice and worked as a legal assistant at White & Case LLP. Felipe also has experience as a teacher in New York City\, where he taught various levels of mathematics. \n\n\nFelipe is excited to connect with University of Michigan students and is eager to mentor the next generation of alums. He is dedicated to being a mentor and deeply cherishes any opportunity to work with the future leaders and best! \n\nWhy you should attend:\n\nCareer story: Hear firsthand about Felipe’s professional journey\, the challenges he faced\, and the milestones he achieved in the competitive law environment. \nMentorship: Discover the importance of mentorship and how Felipe plans to be involved in the University of Michigan mentoring community.\nLaw school preparation: Learn how Felipe was accepted into and succeeded at one of the most selective law schools in the United States. \nPre-law involvement at U-M: Dive into opportunities for law experience during your undergraduate career such as pre-law fraternities and other campus organizations.\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to engage with Felipe Munoz\, expand your network\, and gain valuable career insights. Whether you have questions about law-related internships\, are wanting to get more involved in law on campus\, or simply want to learn more about the field\, this event is perfect for you! \n\nThe Opportunity Hub Accessibility Statement\n\nThe Opportunity Hub aims to deliver inclusive and accessible experiences and welcomes all LSA students to participate. To request accommodations please contact Aminta at lsa-opphub@umich.edu or 734-763-4674 so we can make arrangements.
