Kolloquium Sarbani Basu: Learning physics through astronomy – the Sun and Stars as laboratories
By Sarbani Basu, Department of Astronomy, Yale University, USA We normally rely on physics to interpret and understand astrophysical processes. However, with precise seismic data from the Sun and other stars, we can use astrophysics to inform us about the physical properties of stellar matter, and in some cases inform us even about fundamental physics. […]
Kolloquium David Dao
By David Dao, GainForest/PhD candidate ETH Zurich, Switzerland Nature has been deteriorating at rates unparalleled in human history and the implications are global. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two bullets in the same gun. Perils we face in parallel, both driven by deforestation and land use change. If global tropical deforestation were a country, […]
HITS-SIMPLAIX joint colloquium Michele Ceriotti: Atomic-scale modeling in the age of machine learning
Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, GermanyBy Michele Ceriotti, EPFL STI SMX-GE, Lausanne, Switzerland When modeling materials and molecules at the atomic scale, achieving a realistic level of complexity and making quantitative predictions are usually conflicting goals. Data-driven techniques have made great strides towards enabling simulations of materials in realistic conditions with uncompromising accuracy. In this talk I will summarize the […]

Kolloquium Peter Smillie: Counting fullerenes with modular forms — an application of number theory to carbon chemistry
Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, GermanyBy Peter Smillie, Mathematical Institute, Heidelberg University Fullerenes are polyhedral molecules made of carbon atoms, first discovered in 1985. A few isomers are naturally occurring and many more have since been synthesised, with numerous applications across materials science, biology, and medicine. One source of theoretical interest in fullerenes is that there are a lot of […]
Kolloquium Shimei Pan: Bias and Fairness in AI
Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, GermanyBy Shimei Pan, Information Systems Department of UMBC, Baltimore, USA The emergence of advanced AI technologies, such as Deep Learning and ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we work, live, and interact with each other, potentially bringing a profound transformation of our society. Thus, it is imperative that we ensure the responsible development […]

Kolloquium Victor M. Panaretos: Sums of Squares from Pythagoras to Hilbert via Fisher
Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, GermanyBy Victor M. Panaretos, Institute of Mathematics, EPFL, Switzerland For one hundred years, the analysis of variance has been at the core of statistical inference. Though Fisher first distilled the notion circa 1920, its roots go much deeper in time, and ultimately lie in some of the most elemental concepts of geometry. This, in turn, […]
Kolloquium Jürgen Knödlseder: the carbon footprint of astronomical research infrastructures
Studio Villa Bosch Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 33, Heidelberg, GermanyBy Jürgen Knödlseder, IRAP, GAHEC, Toulouse, France The carbon footprint of astronomical research is an increasingly topical issue with first estimates of research institute and national community footprints having recently been published. As these assessments generally do not take into account the contribution of astronomical research infrastructures, we propose to complement them by providing […]
