SUMMARY:Intro to Quantum Seminar for the Northeastern Community
DESCRIPTION:Spring 2026\, West Village H Room 366\, Fridays 10-11am\, Weekly \nGregory A. Fiete\, Professor of Physics\, College of Science\, Northeastern University \nPurpose and Synopsis: Curious about quantum physics but not a physicist or physics major? This seminar series is your chance to learn the fundamentals of quantum physics\, quantum computing\, quantum sensing\, quantum cryptography\, and quantum communication in an informal atmosphere without the need to register for a class. The seminar\, open to all in the Northeastern community\, will begin from basics assuming no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics and build through key concepts relevant to quantum technologies. The first weeks of the seminar will feature tutorial lectures and then the seminar will host experts from across campus who will give accessible talks on their quantum research. The aim is to bring together the entire Northeastern community in a single setting for establishing multi-disciplinary ties across the university for all who have an interest in quantum. Students\, postdocs\, staff and faculty at all levels are welcome. Questions and interactive discussions during the seminar are encouraged. \nTopics Covered: Entanglement\, Measurement Disturbance of Quantum Systems\, Logic Gates\, Quantum Advantage\, No Cloning Theorem\, Quantum Teleportation\, EPR Paradox\, Spin\, Hilbert Spaces\, Basic Mathematical Structure of Quantum Mechanics\, Heisenberg Uncertainty Relations. \nSpeaker/Instructor Bio: Greg is a theoretical physicist specializing in the study of exotic quantum properties of materials. He received his PhD in physics from Harvard University and did postdoctoral work at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara. He was a Lee A. DuBridge Prize Fellow in Theoretical Physics at Caltech. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award\, the DARPA Young Faculty Award\, a DARPA Director’s Fellowship\, the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)\, a Simons Fellowship in Theoretical Physics\, and a Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society. Greg is a core and founding member of the Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute (QMSI) at Northeastern University. \nSchedule of seminars

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Randall Erb
DESCRIPTION:Realizing emergent properties in functional composite from directed assembly at the micro-scale \nLocation: 108 Snell Engineering Center \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will present my lab’s recent work on directing the assembly of nano- and micron- scale colloidal ceramic particles within composite materials. Through our approach\, we are able to tailor the internal microstructure of composite materials and drive meaningful changes to extrinsic properties ranging from mechanical to thermal. In the mechanical realm\, fiber orientation is a dominate factor in anisotropic property outcomes. We leverage colloidal forces ranging from shear alignment to magnetic alignment to control particle orientation. We have determined routes for applying these colloidal forces in situ to additive manufacturing. In this way\, we can construct objects that have control over complexity from the macroscale down to the micron scale. We highlight examples from bioinspired structures to theory-inspired structures to hinder crack propagation and substantially increase fracture toughness. Within the thermal realm\, we have investigated routes for controlling particle percolation pathways within thermal composites to program thermal conductivity pathways within manufactured materials. We have also pushed the limits of percolation through both volume fraction and post-sintering processes. During these studies we’ve stumbled across a new family of ceramics that are thermoformable (similar to metals and plastics). This thermoformability is reliant on the underlying microstructure which can be set into the ceramic material with new additive manufacturing processes developed in our lab. \n\nRandy Erb is a Full Professor and Associate Chair of Research of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and the Head of the DAPS Laboratory and the RF and Thermal Laboratory at Northeastern University. Randy’s research group focuses on multiscale synthesis and characterization of functional composite materials to impact diverse fields from structural composites to energy storage to thermal management. Randy’s research group has developed new forms of AM including 3D magnetic printing\, 3D mineralization printing\, and vibration-assisted\, tape-casting DLP printing. He has received a Northeastern Translation award for converting fundamental scientific breakthroughs into successful companies. Randy has co-authored ~50 journal publications\, is co-inventor on 18 pending or issued patents\, and is a co-founder of Fortify\, Boston Materials\, and Fourier.

SUMMARY:College AI Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The College AI Showcase is designed to highlight the exciting and innovative AI readiness work underway across the colleges while fostering shared learning and collaboration. The showcase will consist of two virtual 60-minute sessions\, with five colleges presenting in each session. College leadership has identified representative(s) to share their college’s AI accomplishments\, initiatives\, and progress\, with each college allotted 10 minutes. This event provides an opportunity for colleges to learn from one another\, exchange effective practices\, and strengthen collective readiness for the evolving AI landscape. \nDay 1\, Tues\, Feb 17\, 4-5 pm EST\, Virtual: Register \n\nCOE: Gregory Abowd and Brian O’Connell\nCOS: Srinivas Sridhar and Abby Williams\nCPS: Corliss Thompson and Chris Cook\nCSSH: Laurie Nardone\, Michelle Zaff and Cristina Perez-Arranz\nLaw: Hemanth Gundavaram\n\nDay 2\, Wed\, Feb 18\, 4-5 pm EST\, Virtual: Register \n\nBouve: Dave Sherman and Herman Saksono\nCAMD: Smit Desai\nDMSB: Kwong Chan\nKhoury: Felix Muzny\nMills: Stephanie Young\n\nBoth sessions will be recorded.  Questions: email learningstrategy@northeastern.edu.  This event is jointly presented by the Offices of the Provost and the Chancellor.
