Physics Colloquium: Structural Biology of HIV Assembly and Maturation
Date: January 26, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Owen Pornillos (University of Virginia) Title: Structural Biology of HIV Assembly and Maturation Abstract: HIV assembles and buds from infected cells in an immature, non-infectious form. Subsequently, proteolytic cleavage catalyzed by the viral protease leads to a dramatic structural rearrangement of the virus particle into a mature …

FSI/CLASS Seminar: How Do We Advance Our Understanding of Global Earth-Space Interactions?
February 19th, 2018 11:00 am Title: How Do We Advance Our Understanding of Global Earth-Space Interactions? Abstract: Despite decades of research even the most basic Earth-near space interactions remain to be controversial. This is due to several complicating factors: 1) the interaction between Earth and near space is global; 2) it is dynamic; …
Physics Colloquium: Millisecond Pulsars, Basic Physics, and NANOGrav
Date: March 2, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Scott M. Ransom Title: Millisecond Pulsars, Basic Physics, and NANOGrav Abstract: Pulsars are some of physics and astrophysics' most exotic objects, and they have already earned two Nobel Prizes. We currently know of more thabn 2500 of them in our Galaxy, but a small subset, the millisecond pulsars (MSPs), …

March 5th, 2018 11:00 am Title: Operational Challenges in Human Space Exploration: Radiation Protection and Risk Mitigation Strategies Abstract: Human space exploration missions beyond near Earth orbit cannot occur without a validated approach to addressing crew safety risks due to radiation. This requires careful characterization of the space environment, experimental validation of radiation …
Physics Colloquium: Strong-Field Physics Using Waveform-Controlled Mid-Infrared Pulses
Date: March 9, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Kyung-Han Hong (MIT) Title: Strong-Field Physics Using Waveform-Controlled Mid-Infrared Pulses Abstract: One of the unique features of strong-field light-matter interactions is its dependence on electric field, E(t), of driving laser pulses unlike typical nonlinear interactions that rely on laser intensity profile, I(t). This enables to control tunnel-ionized free electrons …
