Phys10 - The Science and Fiction of Causality Violations and Time Travel

Dr. Barak Shoshany

Professor
Brock University

Next week’s phys 10 lecture is given by Dr. Barak Shoshany, a time travel physicist, from Brock University. Dr. Shoshany uses the concepts of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to try to figure out a way to time travel to the future and to the past. I could say he could have the manual of how to become a time traveler.

Optics & Photonics Seminar Series

Professor Adrian Lupascu

Department of Physics and Astronomy, Institute for Quantum Computing

We are happy to be holding our third Optics and Photonics Seminar on Thursday, Dec. 2nd, at 4:00 pm. Adrian is interested in the quantum dynamics of various types of physical systems and the application of quantum effects to build new types of detectors and quantum information processors. He will be giving us a talk on quantum control of three level systems implanted using superconducting devices.

Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Carolina Cuesta Lazaro is a final year PhD student at Durham University working on Large Scale Structure modelling. She is interested in extracting as much cosmological information as possible from galaxy surveys to constrain General Relativity. Lately, she has been working on emulators for galaxy two-point correlation functions and developing Machine Learning techniques at the field level.

Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Peter Behroozi uses computational statistics to study links between dark matter halo assembly, galaxy formation, and the growth of supermassive black holes. His research involves generating simulated universes for millions of different physical models, with the aim of constraining which physics best describes current observations and which new observations would best improve our current understanding of galaxy and black hole formation.

Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Zhongxu Zhai is a postdoctral fellow at the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Caltech/IPAC. He obtained his PhD from New York University in 2018. His work focuses on the large-scale structure of galaxies and dark matter halos, and observational tests of standard Lambda-CDM cosmological model.
