This talk will overview the interplay between optics, plasmonics, and excitonics for systems that consist of arrays of gold, silver or aluminum nanoparticles in 1D, 2D and 3D. This will begin with a review of the use of classical electromagnetic theory to describe the optical properties of plasmonic particles of arbitrary shape, size and arrange...

This talk will describe recent work in my group by Brian Radak, Scott Yockel and Dongwook Kim concerned with modeling the dynamics of reactions at the gas/liquid interface using a QM/MM approach. The reactions involve atomic oxygen and atomic fluorine collisions with liquid squalane, which is a hydrocarbon polymer, at hyperthermal energies (0.5-...

Mathematical tools based on algebraic topology (homology) provide new ways todescribe complex patterns of fluid flow observed in laboratory experiments. First, we will discuss how homology can be used to quantifynon-Oberbeck-Boussinesq (NOB) effects in weakly turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection patterns.We then will describe homology-based meth...

Honor Schauland shares her experiences living in Finland, Minnesota during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the director of Friends of Finland, a non-profit that runs the Claire Nelson Center, Finland's community center, she talks about the many ways they have made adjustments in order to continue to serve the community. She mentions grants...

Many problems involve small parameters such that the limit problem is a practically good approximation. As examples we consider the thickness of a thin elastic structure, and the Knudson number (mean free path) in the Boltzmann Equation. The traditional way is to derive first a hierarchy of reduced models, which are then discretized. Our aim is ...
