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: Steven Wrenn
DESCRIPTION:Realizing emergent properties in functional composite from directed assembly at the micro-scale \nLocation: 108 Snell Engineering Center \nAbstract: This talk will describe fundamental studies and practical applications of biological colloids in the context of human disease. The talk will begin with endogeneous colloids and how they contribute to disease pathogenesis\, including the important roles that microstructural transitions and particle aggregation dynamics play. Specifically\, it will be shown how an incomplete transition from hepatic vesicles to bile salt micelles leads to enhanced vesicle aggregation and faster rates of cholesterol nucleation to produce gallstones and how aggregation of low density lipoproteins within the intima contributes to foam cell formation and subsequent atherosclerotic plaques. \nThe talk will then focus on how exogenous biological colloids can be designed to diagnose diseases or treat diseases\, or both. Specifically\, interactions between ultrasound\, phospholipid monolayer-coated gas bubbles\, phospholipid bilayer vesicles\, and cells will be reviewed with an eye toward diagnostic ultrasonic imaging and ultrasound-induced controlled drug delivery. Microbubble physics\, including inertial cavitation and the influence of membrane properties will be reviewed\, and a comparison between model predictions and experimental measurements will be made. Noteworthy is the predicted dependence\, or lack thereof\, of inertial cavitation on area expansion modulus through the variation of PEG molecular weight and mole fraction in the microbubble monolayer coating. \nThe talk will also involve a discussion of nesting microbubbles inside the aqueous core of vesicles and how this significantly increases the inertial cavitation threshold. The talk will conclude with an examination of the role that triglycerides play during the nesting process\, how this contributes to encapsulation efficiency\, and how this could give rise to novel microbubble architectures going forward. \n\nSteven Wrenn earned his B.S. in chemical engineering from Virginia Tech in 1991. While an under-graduate\, he worked as a co-op for G.E. Plastics (formerly Borg Warner) in Parkersburg\, WV. After graduating he worked for three years as a process engineer for Zeneca\, Inc. (formerly ICI Americas\, Inc.) in New Castle\, DE. He then returned to school\, earning his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware in 1999. After graduating from Delaware\, he joined the chemical engineering faculty at Drexel University in Phil-adelphia. In 2006 he became an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow and spent a year at Ruhr University in Bochum\, Germany. In 2021 he returned to Virginia Tech to serve his alma mater as Department Head of Chemical Engineering.
