Neil Armstrong Distinguished Visiting Professor: Marcus Weldon
by Hegewald, Lynn P 30 Aug '23

30 Aug '23

Marcus Weldon, formerly the Corporate Chief Technology Officer for Nokia and President of Bell Labs, will be presenting two seminars next week (in-person and available via Zoom): Tuesday, August 29, 10 AM, MSEE 180: Critical Perspectives on Innovation Part 1, Learning from the Past There is a tendency to believe that there is only one model for innovation that 'works': the venture capital-funded 'start-up' model. There is no doubt that this model has had success over the past few decades, but at its heart it is often a statistical game of chance, with an associated funding and feedback model that is financially rigorous but that undervalues real technological value or breakthroughs. In this lecture, Marcus will review this model in the context of other innovation models that exist or have existed and compare and contrast their relative merits. Thursday, August 31, 10 AM, MSEE 180: Critical Perspectives on Innovation Part 2, Inventing the Future Building on the perspective developed in the first lecture in the series, this lecture will examine the most promising routes and methodologies to follow today, to both invent something new and then successfully implement a solution that should have real market impact. The common elements of each approach will be highlighted, as well as the differences, and under what circumstances each is the optimum choice. See the attached flyer for additional details.

Seminar, Tomorrow, August 10th @ 11:00 AM, Professor Debabrata Goswami, BRK 1001
by Hodges, Kendra Renee 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Hi! Please join us tomorrow, August 10th , at 11:00 AM in BRK 1001 for the seminar: Professor Debabrata Goswami, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Host: Prof. Zubin Jacob On using "Shaped" light for understanding molecular length scale events of biological importance Abstract: Understanding molecular length-scale light-matter interactions through superresolution microscopy is of immense interest in modern biology. In this regard, shaping lasers is of utmost importance to provide the maximum spatial resolution at nanometer scales and temporal control and interactions. This presentation will discuss concepts relating to shaping lasers for their specific applications pedagogically. Based on our recent research, we will focus on measurement and confinement at molecular scale resolutions. This is drawn from our recent indigenous research of femtosecond optical tweezers and the superresolution microscopic studies performed at the minimum photon flux instrument, commercially known as MINFLUX. In particular, the discussions will focus on the recent localization studies with both these instruments, though they encompass significantly distinct ranges of light-matter interactions. Thank you, Pronoy Das Graduate Research Assistant, Prof. Jacob's research group
