IDE Seminar Series – Dr Julie Tai-Schmiedel

2026-03-26T13:15:47+00:00

Publishing with the Nature Portfolio

Today’s journal landscape can be overwhelming when seeking for a suitable place to publish your scientific research in. Here, I provide a journal overview of the Nature Portfolio and with practical guidance for navigating the scientific publishing process. I will introduce the structure and editorial scope of various journals, highlighting how each title differs in selectivity, impact, and community focus. Focusing on Nature Microbiology, I will provide a brief introduction of the editorial team, our submission volume, and decision‑making principles. Next, I will walk authors through the publication workflow—from choosing the right journal and crafting an effective cover letter to understanding editorial assessment, peer review, common reasons for rejection, and best practices for revisions. The session aims to demystify the editorial process and empower researchers to communicate their findings more effectively.

Physics Colloquium: Dr Sowjanya Gollapinni – Deciphering the Neutrino Sector with the DUNE Experiment

2026-03-31T10:56:10+01:00

A Department of Physics colloquium entitled “Deciphering the Neutrino Sector with the DUNE Experiment” with Dr Sowjanya Gollapinni, Senior Scientist, Physics Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Please note – The lecture will run from 16:00-17:00, followed by refreshments from 17:00-18:00 in the Level 2 Foyer of the Blackett Building.

Abstract

Neutrinos provide a promising window to probe a wide range of fundamental physics phenomena. Neutrino related discoveries in the last two decades indicate that the answer to the most sought-after question of why we live in a matter-dominated universe may be within reach. Although more than a trillion of neutrinos pass unnoticed through our bodies every second, they still remain largely mysterious. These ghostly little particles are notoriously difficult to detect given how reluctant they are to interact with matter and require building immense and exquisitely sensitive detectors. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next generation neutrino experiment at Fermilab and South Dakota in United States with primary goals of resolving the neutrino mass ordering and measuring the charge-parity violating phase, the indicator of a possible explanation for our matter dominated universe. DUNE will use the promising liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology as it presents neutrino interactions with unprecedented detail. After briefly reviewing the current state of neutrino physics and open questions, this talk will describe the DUNE experiment along with the rich physics that it offers and its current status.

Biography,

Dr. Sowjanya Gollapinni is a senior scientist and Neutrino Group Leader in the Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). She earned her Ph.D. from Wayne State University followed by a postdoctoral position at Kansas State University. Before moving to LANL, she was a faculty member in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Gollapinni is an experimental particle physicist, and her current research focuses on studying particles called “neutrinos” and using them as probes to answer fundamental questions in physics.

She is a member of several international collaborations such as MicroBooNE, Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). She held several leadership roles across these collaborations including as the Technical Leader of the DUNE Calibration and Cryogenic Instrumentation Consortium, Deputy Coordinator for the DUNE Phase-II program and as the Collaboration Board Chair of MicroBooNE. She is currently the Co-Spokesperson of DUNE. She is an Executive Board member of the American Physics Society’s Department of Particles and Fields (DPF) Coordinating Panel for Advanced Detectors (CPAD).

LC2 Seminar – Mattia Zanella (University of Pavia)

2026-04-16T15:22:22+01:00

Title: Regularity vs. Condensation in Consensus Dynamics

Abstract: Consensus is a fundamental mechanism in interacting particle systems and has inspired a wide range of methods in global optimization and pattern formation. We present new results on the propagation of regularity in the presence of superlinear drift terms, which promote condensation effects within consensus dynamics, leading to concentration phenomena even in high-dimensional settings. We then discuss how this perspective extends beyond the original setting to applications in optimization and image segmentation, where data points are interpreted as interacting particles. In this framework, consensus dynamics naturally efficiently drive the emergence of clusters and the detection of coherent structures.

Distinguished Seminar Series | Invention to Innovation: from what if to clinical trials

2026-03-06T18:09:36+00:00

Speaker: Professor Molly Shoichet, PhD, O.C., O.Ont., FRS, University of Toronto
Talk: Invention to Innovation: from what if to clinical trials
In research, we wonder, we re-examine dogma, we ask the “what if?” questions that lead to new insights and discoveries.

In business, we look for gaps, unsolved problems and intentionally develop solutions that fill a market need.

In this seminar, Professor Shoichet will discuss both approaches in three stories and highlight how a series of “I wonder if?” questions led us to design a completely new way for target discovery and drug screening in cancer.

Professor Shoichet will show how our new way to deliver therapeutics locally to the spinal cord and brain led to the invention of a new biomaterial that we have now tested clinically, and describe how we purposely designed a new vitreous substitute to overcome an unmet need and our path to translation.

Acknowledgements: The Shoichet Lab is grateful to have the opportunity to advance knowledge with exceptional researchers and collaborators and with the support of funding agencies: NSERC, CIHR, Medicine by Design-CFREF, Mend the Gap-NFRF, Krembil Foundation, US DoD, ISRT, Stem Cell Network, among others.

Failure of zoned earthen embankment dams: mechanisms and modelling

2026-02-24T17:37:56+00:00

Abstract: The failure of zoned embankment dams poses an immense risk to settlements and infrastructure throughout the world, as shown by recent catastrophic events in Libya (2023) and Sudan (2024). To improve forecasts and emergency planning for such events, we must better understand the failure processes of zoned dams. Unfortunately, the process of zoned dam failure has been scarcely observed at laboratory, field, or prototype scales. Based on recent medium-scale laboratory experiments at ETH Zurich, in which 1 meter tall zoned embankment dams were designed, constructed, and subsequently breached by overtopping, a unique two-stage core failure process has been identified. This finding is the basis for a new method for modelling the failure of zoned embankment dams. The method is implemented in a simple tool designed for use by dam engineers to simulate the failure of any zoned embankment dam, paving the way for reliable risk assessments for zoned embankment dams worldwide.

Bio: Dr. Matthew Halso is a post-doctoral researcher at the ETH Zurich Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology. Matthew earned a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from ETH Zurich, where he researched the failure of homogeneous and zoned earthen embankment dams, through a combination of laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. He developed two new parametric numerical methods for simplified simulation of embankment dam failure. Matthew is an active member of the Swiss Committee on Dams, as a member of the working group on freeboard and as Vice-President of the Young Professionals group. Matthew holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Michigan in the USA. He previously worked as a civil engineer for the United States Army Corps of Engineers where he modelled flood control infrastructure for the city of New Orleans, a city that is threatened by flooding from the Mississippi River, local precipitation, and hurricane-induced storm surge.

SPC Seminar – Plasma – Audrey DeVault (MIT)

Speaker: Audrey DeVault (MIT)

Title: Approaches to Developing Time-Resolving Neutron Diagnostics at the NIF

Abstract: The development of a time-resolving neutron diagnostic underway for the purpose of analyzing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Time-resolved neutron spectra can be analyzed to infer Ti(t), ρR(t), and Yn(t), which provide valuable information about the dynamics of an ICF implosion. In particular, they would help identify factors limiting burn propagation in order to improve gain from the igniting implosions now repeatedly achieved at the NIF. Two approaches to obtaining time-resolved neutron spectra are presented: the time-resolving Magnetic Recoil Spectrometer (MRSt) and the tomographic neutron Time of Flight (nTOF) scheme. The MRSt utilizes a front end similar to the current magnetic recoil spectrometer fielded on NIF, with a CD foil converting neutrons to deuterons and a magnet system which momentum-separates the deuterons. However, the backend is yet to be finalized. A novel, simplified backend concept is currently being investigated, utilizing a printed circuit board (PCB) to passively de-skew the incoming signal in time. The PCB takes advantage of propagation delay to slow down the signal from higher-energy deuterons before recombining with that of simultaneously produced lower-energy deuterons, producing energy spectra for discrete timesteps throughout the implosion. Design and prototyping of a PCB backend is underway, and crucial design features are identified. The tomographic nTOF scheme employs multiple nTOF detectors at varied distances from Target Chamber Center (TCC). Close-in nTOFs capture more time-of-emission information, while far-out nTOFs capture more energy information, allowing for multiple samplings of the neutron source spectra in energy and time-of-emission space, enabling tomographic reconstruction of the source spectra. Synthetic data studies are underway to probe the feasibility of this approach. Models of neutron source spectra in energy and time-of-emission are used to generate synthetic datasets of collinear nTOFs, with tunable distance, noise, time binning, and instrument response function. An adaptive-rate Monte Carlo retrieval code is then used to tomographically reconstruct the neutron source function. Effective reconstruction of the neutron source function in energy and time-of-emission is shown to be feasible with multiple collinear nTOFS, and constraints on detector precision and placement are put forth.

Title: Energetic Detectors for Laser-Plasma Interactions

Abstract: High-intensity laser–plasma interactions generate bright, energetic radiation through mechanisms capable of producing multimodal emission in femtosecond-scale pulses. Characterisation of this radiation remains a significant challenge owing to its high brightness, ultrashort duration, broad spectral content, and harsh background environment.

Accurate characterisation of the emitted radiation is essential for the continued development of laser-driven radiation sources and their applications in fusion energy, space radiation studies, and ultrafast imaging. The design of suitable detectors and diagnostics requires balancing device sensitivity and resolution against a detailed understanding of the operational radiation environment. Here, we present the considerations informing the design of diagnostic systems for the upcoming EPAC facility, and present some of the tools developed to help with performance modelling and deployment in experiments.

Buddhist Meditation: Online and In-person

2020-03-04T16:35:06+00:00

Buddhist meditation can help you to unplug and detach from the stress of daily life. These sessions are especially suitable for those seeking to reduce anxiety, re-align balance or practice loving kindness. It has plenty of time for meditation. There is also some input from Buddhist teaching on aspects of meditation and the concepts that are being used. Some people go to both Tuesday non-religious Mindfulness sessions and Friday Buddhist meditation, so you are welcome to try it. As you might know, Mindfulness was originally an application for clinical settings of Buddhist meditation techniques. So they are in the same family of meditation.

When I engaged in meditation on altruistic love and compassion, Tania noted that the cerebral networks activated were very different. In particular, the network linked to negative emotions and distress was not activated during meditation on compassion, while certain cerebral areas traditionally associated with positive emotions, with the feeling of affiliation and maternal love, for instance, were.

Fridays 13:05-13:50

Led by Karuna Priya, Chaplain and Buddhist Faith Advisor. You can contact Karuna at k.priya@imperial.ac.uk

Personalised conversation about one’s practice is available after the meditation if required, or you can arrange to meet with the Buddhist Chaplain(s) for a one-to-one consultation.
