Van Tuyl Lecture, April 15, 2024, Berthoud 204, 12-1pm Kevin Rosso, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Probing Ion Relaxation Dynamics at Mineral-Water Interfaces for Advances in Understanding Electrical Geophysical Signatures of the Subsurface Abstract: Electrical geophysical sensing techniques such as resistivity tomography and spectral induced polarization hold promise for real-time monitoring of distributions of strain, porosity, […]
JIAQI (JIMMY) LENG University of Maryland, College Park Quantum Approach to Classical Optimization: Why Bother and What To Do? Abstract: Continuous optimization problems arise in virtually all disciplines of quantitative research, including applied mathematics, computer science, and operations research. While convex optimization has been well studied in the past decades, nonconvex optimization generally remains intractable […]
A Career in Curiosity: Navigating Startups and Academia
Exploring Novel Quantum Phases with Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulation Dr. Zhexuan Gong, Colorado School of Mines, Dept. of Physics Trapped-ion based quantum simulators have a unique strength of simulating interacting spin models with tunable, long-range interactions. With individual control and measurement of the ion qubits, one can demonstrate a variety of novel quantum phases, both in […]
Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are growing closer to wide-scale deployment, which brings a growing and timely need to develop a data-driven methodology for identifying priority locations for EGS deployment. Currently, a lack of research exists concerning the exploration of enhanced geothermal-related resources. On top of that, stress state modeling, which is essential for EGS success, […]
