SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Magnetic and Electric Field Control of Nonlinear Photocurrents From Strongly Bound Excitons
DESCRIPTION:I will introduce the concept of the photogalvanic effect\, a nonlinear photocurrent generation mechanism allowed in noncentrosymmetric systems that is distinct from the ordinary photovoltaic effect observed at semiconductor interfaces. I will then discuss our recent experiments observing photogalvanic effects from strongly bound exciton states in a 2D magnetic system whereby inversion symmetry is dictated solely by the spin degree of freedom. Here\, both magnetic and electric fields can be used to control the photogalvanic effect and isolate it from linear photocurrents. The devices act as tunable helicity- and polarization-sensitive detectors with the capability to transduce deep sub-gap signals.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Representations and Models: Probing Student Understanding via Benzene
DESCRIPTION:Studies report that organic chemistry courses have increased failure rates\, lowered retention\, and decreased student interest\, prompting a need to understand student learning difficulties in these contexts. Organic chemistry professors report that student difficulties stem from misunderstandings of fundamental general chemistry topics and the complexity of organic chemistry topics\, such as resonance and electrophilicity/nucleophilicity. One notable topic is aromaticity\, a foundational concept in organic chemistry that appears in mechanisms and processes across STEM fields and requires connecting difficult concepts like resonance and electrophilicity/nucleophilicity. In fact\, studies have shown that practicing/advanced chemists struggle with aromaticity. As such\, to promote effective learning and practicing chemists in understanding aromaticity\, both undergraduate and graduate students—from various class levels—participated in semi-structured interviews focused on 1) identifying aromatic\, antiaromatic\, and nonaromatic structures and 2) describing and defining aromatic structures and properties using models of Benzene. In these interviews\, students used various representations to draw on a range of activated cognitive resources. Using inductive and deductive coding\, researchers identified the resources and representational competence skills students invoked to discuss and describe aromaticity when given physical models of benzene. Results show that students can interpret these models with varied success\, regardless of educational level. While some students relied on memorization to interpret the models\, others used representational competence skills and discussed different uses of the various 3-D molecular models for teaching and learning aromaticity. Surprisingly\, without explicit prompting\, students discussed various limitations and affordances for these models\, dependent on the model’s design and their own content knowledge. This presentation will share student ideas\, focusing on their interpretations across multiple physical models and how electronic\, bonding\, and orbital resources shaped their discussions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Robotics Department Seminar Series: Physical Intelligence for Physical Care: Towards Stakeholder-Informed Caregiving Robots in the Real World
DESCRIPTION:Robotics Department Seminar Series (https://robotics.umich.edu/events/robotics-seminar-series/)\nSpeaker: Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Computer Science\, Cornell University\nTitle: \"Physical Intelligence for Physical Care: Towards Stakeholder-Informed Caregiving Robots in the Real World\"\nDate: Tuesday\, October 13\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 - 5:00pm ET\nLocation: FRB 2300 + Zoom\nZoom Link: https://myumi.ch/qwgeM\nMeeting ID: 920 4018 0577\nPasscode: 681199\n\nAbstract: How can we build robots that meaningfully assist people with mobility limitations in their daily lives? To support complex caregiving tasks such as robot-assisted feeding\, bathing\, transferring\, and meal preparation\, robots must physically interact with people and objects in dynamic\, unstructured environments while maintaining safety. In this talk\, I will present an overview of projects from the EmPRISE Lab that showcase fundamental advances in physical robot caregiving. I will highlight how we design stakeholder-informed systems with personalized contact-rich control policies and user functionality- and behavior-aware physical robot assistance. I will also share insights from deploying these systems with real users in real-world settings. Together\, these efforts move us closer to building caregiving robots that are not only technically capable\, but are also safe\, deployable\, and responsive to the real needs of people in care settings.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Tapomayukh \"Tapo\" Bhattacharjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University where he directs the EmPRISE Lab (https://emprise.cs.cornell.edu/). He completed his Ph.D. in Robotics from Georgia Institute of Technology and was an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA postdoctoral research associate in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. His primary research interests are in the area of physical robot caregiving and physical human-robot interaction. He is the recipient of TRI Young Faculty Researcher Award'24\, NSF CAREER Award'23\, AFCEA 40 under 40 Award'22\, and his work has won Best Systems Paper Award at HRI’26\, Best Paper Award at RSS’25\, Best Paper and Student Paper Award Finalist and Best HRI Paper Award Finalist at ICRA’25\, Best Systems Paper Award Finalist at HRI'24\, Best Demo Award at HRI'24\, Best RoboCup Paper Award at IROS’22\, Best Paper Award Finalist and ABB Best Student Paper Award Finalist at IROS’22\, Best Technical Advances Paper Award at HRI'19\, and Best Demonstration Award at NeurIPS’18. His work has also been featured in many media outlets including the BBC\, Reuters\, New York Times\, IEEE Spectrum\, and GeekWire and his robot-assisted feeding work was selected to be one of the best interactive designs of 2019 by Fast Company.
