  • Some combinatorics of Wilson loop diagrams

    Hybrid

    Abstract: Wilson loop diagrams can be used to study amplitudes in N=4 SYM.  I will set them up and talk about some of their combinatorial aspects, such as how many […]

  • Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates

    Abstract: Since its discovery, unconventional superconductivity in cuprates has motivated the search for materials with analogous electronic or atomic structure. We have used soft chemistry approaches to synthesize superconducting infinite […]

  • Secure Multi-Party Computation: from Theory to Practice

    Abstract: Encryption is the backbone of cybersecurity. While encryption can secure data both in transit and at rest, in the new era of ubiquitous computing, modern cryptography also aims to […]

  • Higgs = SPT

  • Algebraic Statistics with a View towards Physics

    Abstract: We discuss the algebraic geometry of maximum likelihood estimation from the perspective of scattering amplitudes in particle physics. A guiding examples the moduli space of n-pointed rational curves. The scattering […]
