In this talk, we present some new physical phenomena found in recent theoretical studies of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials. Because of reduced dimensionality, interaction and symmetry effects as well as environmental screening effects dominate many properties of these systems, leading to manifestation of concepts and phenomena th...

Novel materials such as silicon nitride and graphene can be integrated within the framework of silicon photonics to demonstrate interesting phenomena in the quantum as well as classical realms, and consequently enable new applications. First, I will explain how advances in fabrication technologies have made it possible to achieve ultra-low loss ...

The integration of large datasets and powerful computational capabilities has resulted in the widespread use of machine learning (ML) in science, technology, and industry. However, most of the recent ML developments focus on supervised methods which require large training tests. However, these supervised ML methods are not highly applicable to s...

While x-ray computed tomography is a mature technology that is used for a wide range of diagnoses, there continue to be new untapped strategies to collect more information and to enable more efficient data collections (e.g. increased image quality and/or lower x-ray exposures). This talk will review new approaches that involve spatial and/or spe...
