Engineering Seminars Test Calendar 2.10

Join Director Nadya Mason and your colleagues this fall for informal conversation and coffee in the Beckman garden, which is west of the building through the café’s double doors. This Gather in the Garden Series will be from 10-10:30 a.m. every Tuesday through the fall semester.

Speaker: Sabre Kais, Professor, Department of Chemistry, Purdue University

Information flow in the cortex is classically considered as feedforward-hierarchical computation. However, recent findings have started to reveal rather parallel and distributed processing. Here, I will discuss our work studying parallel sensory pathways across the primary and higher auditory cortices in extracting complex sound features.

Join us at noon on Wednesdays this fall for restorative yoga with a view! All sessions are free and will be held in Beckman's fifth-floor tower room except for class on 10/12 which will be held in Beckman room 5602 . All are welcome bring your own mat! 

Learn about common pitfalls of workplace negotiation and how you can translate communication skills into an increased salary and better benefits.

Dr. Aksimentiev will reveal several systems which will illustrate the applications of high-end all-atom, coarse-grained, and multi-resolution simulations to obtain information inaccessible to previous experimental approaches while providing a forward-looking perspective on modeling of an entire biological cell at all-atom resolution.

Speaker: Graeme Smith, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder

Brain's can be modeled as functional networks, where interregional connections and their weights are estimated as a correlations. Here I will present an approach for exactly decomposing these connections (edges) into their time-varying contributions. This approach yields framewise estimates of networks across time and can be used to estimate the novel construct of "edge fu

Come learn how to adapt to the workplace as an intern or new hire. Panelists will share advice on how to match your personality with workplace expectations and how to position oneself for career advancement.

To strengthen the Beckman community, Beckman Institute Director Nadya Mason invites you to join her and other members of administration leadership in the 2nd-floor tower room from 11 am-12 pm on Thursday, October 13, for a graduate student feedback session. Please bring your ideas as to how Beckman’s leadership can support you and your peers.

Dr. Bhargava will present a detailed theoretical understanding of image formation in nanoscale spectroscopic imaging using an atomic force microscope in contact mode. A new method, based on null deflection of the cantilever, is introduced to provide high-quality data.
