While the express goal of this website is to recruit and retain women students in sciences and mathematics at Eastern Illinois University, there is plenty of good information on the site for the rest of us. Readers may like to start with Further Reading, where they can link to media coverage of women in science from around the web. From there, they may select Biographies of Women in Science, where they can access dozens of biographies of women who have made contributions to fields as diverse as chemistry, primatology, biophysics, and astronomy. In addition, the site features links to half a dozen other websites on the topic, from the Smithsonian's photo portraits of women scientists to the San Diego Supercomputer Center's coverage of women scientists from around the world.
STEMconnector is both a resource and a service that is designed “to link those advocating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education across disciplines and distances.” It seeks to connect diverse educators, professionals, and government officials together based on a love of applied science. The STEMblog, a project of STEMconnector, is updated regularly and focuses its energies on the relationship between business and STEM subjects. Recent articles, for example, have alerted readers to corporate-sponsored prizes for high school science teachers, a recognition of National Engineers Week, and the math behind a new Android app. For readers who are looking to make connections between STEM subjects and industry partners, the STEMblog is an informative site to check back on regularly.

HYPERBOLIC PHONON POLARITONS IN HEXAGONAL BORON
NITRIDE |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Siyuan Dai |
|
Abstract |
Uniaxial materials whose axial and tangential
permittivities have opposite signs are referred to
as indefinite or hyperbolic media. While
hyperbolic responses are normally achieved with
metamaterials, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)
naturally possesses this property due to the
anisotropic phonons in the mid-infrared. Using
scattering-type scanning near-field optical
microscopy, we studied polaritonic phenomena in
hBN. We performed infrared nano-imaging of highly
confined and low-loss hyperbolic phonon polaritons
in hBN. The polariton wavelength was shown to be
governed by the hBN thickness according to a
linear law persisting down to few atomic layers
[1]. Additionally, we carried out the modification
of hyperbolic response in meta-structures
comprised of a mononlayer graphene deposited on
hBN [2]. Electrostatic gating of the top graphene
layer allows for the modification of wavelength
and intensity of hyperbolic phonon polaritons in
bulk hBN. The physics of the modification
originates from the plasmon-phonon coupling in the
hyperbolic medium. Furthermore, we demonstrated
the “hyperlens” for subdiffractional focusing and
imaging using a slab of hBN [3]. [1] S. Dai et al., Science 343, 1125 (2014). [2] S. Dai et al., Nature Nanotechnology 10, 682 (2015). [3] S. Dai et al., Nature Communications 6, 6963 (2015). |

PLASMONIC PROPERTIES OF METALLIC AND HYBRID NANOSTRUCTURES |
|---|---|
|
Speaker |
Nicolas Large Nicolas Large is an Assistant Professor of Physics at The University of Texas at San Antonio. After obtaining his B.S. and M.S. in Physics at the Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse, France, he obtained a dual Ph.D. degree in 2011 in Nanophysics from Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse and in Physics of Nanostructures and Advanced Materials from the University of the Basque Country in San Sebastián, Spain. He worked jointly in the Center of Materials Physics (CSIC) and Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in San Sebastián, and at the Center for Materials Elaboration and Structural Studies (CNRS, Toulouse) where he was supervised by Profs. Javier Aizpurua and Adnen Mlayah. Later, Dr. Large worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Peter Nordlander at Rice University in Houston (2012-2014), and in the group of Prof. George Schatz at Northwestern University in Chicago area (2014-2016). During his doctoral and postdoctoral work, Dr. Large developed novel several approaches and numerical methods for the calculations of optical properties of semiconductor and plasmonic systems, including new models for the description of acoustic Raman scattering, and electron-based spectroscopies. He also conducted fundamental and applied studies for a large variety of plasmonic-based systems. He is currently conducting research in the field of theoretical nanophotonics and focuses on the modeling of the optical response of semiconductor (excitonic), metallic (plasmonic), and hybrid (plexcitonic, plasphonic, magneto-plasmonic) nanosystems. |
|
Abstract |
Nanophotonics has become a very active
interdisciplinary research field during the past
decades. With the development of new advent
technologies, a deep understanding of the
optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical
properties of materials at the nanoscale became
crucial. Furthermore, recent advances in the
control of bottom-up and top-down
nanofabrication techniques allow for the
synthesis of novel materials, geometries, and
devices at the nanoscale, thus revealing new
physical effects and pushing away the limits of
the Terra Incognita in nanosciences. The
development of theoretical models, and the use
of advanced numerical simulations and modeling,
is necessary not only to correctly understand
these new properties but also to guide
experimentalists in the design of the future
nanostructures and in the tailoring of new
physical properties. Here, I will present some
recent work on plasmonic nanosystems and their
use for localized surface plasmon resonance
sensing, electron-based and surface-enhanced
spectroscopies (EELS, CL, SERS, TERS, SHG),
plasmon-enhanced chemistry, control of light,
optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications.
Along the way, I will present some
state-of-the-art studies of fundamental physical
processes in hybrid nanostructures such as
plasmon-vibration and plexcitonic couplings and
novel computational and theoretical models and
methods (EELS-FDTD and SHG. |

| Topic/Title | Trusted Automated Vehicles |
|---|---|
| Speaker | Prof. Todd E. Humphreys, associate professor in
the department of Aerospace Engineering and
Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas
Austin |
| Abstract | The next few decades will see automated vehicles
become critical to the world economy. But daunting
challenges that must be overcome to ensure
trustworthy operation: Even under fairly benign
conditions it has proven difficult to ensure that
automated vehicles can be trusted to locate
themselves accurately and to avoid obstacles. In
adverse weather, or—worse yet—under a deliberate
sensory attack, the difficulty is greatly magnified:
How can automated vehicles reliably operate when
facing both outliers and outlaws, both faults and
fraud? This talk will focus on reliable automated vehicle localization despite poor weather, dense urban environments, and sensor deception, including GPS/GNSS, radar, and V2V sensing. |

| Abstract | In January 2014, Chris Wiggins began building
and leading the Data Science Group within The New York Times. The group develops predictive and prescriptive models and algorithms to solve business, newsroom, and strategy challenges. Building data capability while respecting existing organization, process, and technology requires an understanding of all three. He'll illustrate the capabilities of the Data Science Group along with lessons learned about how to help companies unlock the value in their own data. |
