Title:
A Mini-Review of Superflares
Abstract
The Kepler Space Telescope has brought major advances in the study of exoplanets by producing photometric light curves of stars with high precision. One important byproduct has to do with the discovery of super flares in 2012 that were detected in some stars with energies many orders of magnitude larger than the greatest solar flares ever observed. In this talk we will give an overview covering some of the major steps in our understanding of the physical nature of the flare effects and the rotation-age-activity relation of low-mass stars. The super flares and the related stellar outflows and radiation could have important implications on the atmospheric evolution of exoplanets and their habit- ability and thus are certainly scientific topics of interest for future observations.

Title:
Novel Functional Biomaterials and Surface-Active Flexible Palladium Nano-Thin-Film Fabrication for Biomedical Applicationss
Abstract
In SARS CoV 2 pandemics era, a rapid, specific and sensitive sensing platform is highly desired. By combining molecular biology, biochemistry and thermodynamics processes, novel functional biomaterials for virus sensing purposes have been synthesized and refolded into their functional form. Furthermore, a surface-active Pd nano-thin-film (NTF) on PET substrate has been fabricated by pulse DC sputtering process. The surface of Pd-NTF contains a lot of unique nano-islands and nano-edges structure. These nanostructures made bio-molecules which bound to the Pd surface directly, within 20 min. The surface bonded biomolecules can be monitored by Raman spectroscopy. This unique functionalized Pd-NTF could be used as probe in electrochemical spectroscopy system. Virus, cancers, and their interaction modulating drugs can be detected within 15-21 min by this biosensing system. The limit of detection (LOD) of these biosensors were as low as 0.1 ng per-test in 1 microliter. At the same time, this platform can also be used to screen other infectious disease, drugs, or can be applied in other bio/physical applications, too.

Multicomponent Superfluids and Superconductors
Abstract
I shall introduce superconductors and superfluids with internal degrees of freedom. A well-established example is superfluid 3He. Similar physics have been considered in “unconventional” superconductors (or rather superconductors with reduced symmetry), and Bose-Einstein condensates with (hyperfine) spin. I shall explain how these systems are different from their conventional or spinless counterparts. I shall in particular elaborate some of these points through our own work on doped Bi2Se3, which has been proposed to be a nematic superconductor with spontaneously broken rotational symmetry.

Title:
The Biomedical Applications of Nanodiamond
Abstract
Nanodiamond (ND) has been showing great potential in bio/medical applications for bio imaging and drug delivery owing to its superb spectroscopic properties. The fluorescence properties of ND are determined by defects and admixtures in the crystal lattice or on the surfaces. This provides a stable and non-photobleaching fluorescence for imaging. ND’s surface can be functionalized to form complexes with bio-molecules of interest. This renders ND the possibilities of drug conjugation and delivery. Combining these advantages, image-guided drug delivery systems for preclinical applications can be realized. In this talk I will share various examples that has been realized in the cellular models. However conventional 2D cell culture model does not represent 3D structural of tissues and tumors, the 2D cellular models offer poor access to the efficiency of drug delivery. To address this, we developed a 3D multicellular tumor spheroid (MCTS) of Human alveolar basal epithelial cell (A549) cellular model to demonstrate the possibility of using ND for drug delivery and to evaluate the efficacy of the drug conjugate of ND-Drug in cancer therapy.

Title:
Sustainable Energy-Thermoelectric Materials and Decarbonization
Abstract
Thermoelectric materials (TE) are capable of transforming heat to electricity according to Seebeck effect, and vice versa can convert electricity to temperature gradient as per Peltier effect. Facing the emergent issues of energy crisis and global warming, the study of thermoelectricity and its application on sustainable energy would be one of the most important energy research fields. Before 2000 the heat-electricity conversion efficiency () of TE is not much improved and stays near less than 5%. While for the past two decay, the was greatly enhanced to 10-15%. The is represented by the Figure of Merit ZT=S2 T/(e+L), where S is the Seebeck coefficient, is the electrical conductivity and e, L are electron and lattice phonon thermal conductivities respectively. Larger ZT presents higher , thus searching for high Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity with low thermoconductivity of e and L of thermoelectric materials become a main goal of the thermoelectric research.
In recent years, the greenhouse effect is caused by excessive carbon dioxide emission. Nowadays to reduce carbon dioxide emissions becomes an important issue for global sustainability. Research on reducing CO2 emission was initiated in Academia Sinica. Its main goal is to assist domestic LNG power plants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to achieve the long term national carbon neutral. This work intends to use high-temperature catalyst to decompose the liquid natural gas into solid carbon and hydrogen. After removing the solid carbon, the hydrogen will be returned to plant for electricity generation to achieve the goal of carbon dioxidereduction.

Development and Challenge of Superconducting Qubits
Abstract
Quantum superconducting circuits have become a leading platform in the subjects of quantum information. One can engineer transitions between eigenstates of quantum circuits with combinations of Josephson junctions, capacitors, and inductors. A superconducting quantum bit, or qubit, can be formulated by confining the quantum dynamics of the system between two specific energy levels. In this talk, I will introduce the principle, fabrication, and recent development of superconducting qubits. By inserting a Josephson junction array served as an inductance, one can formulate fluxonium qubits, which have the longest coherence time T2 in superconducting qubits. Finally, I will discuss the challenges and opportunities for the future development of superconducting qubits.

Hidden behind natural images – a machine-learning study
Abstract
Human vision is a powerful sensory system for detecting environmental information. However, its efficiency comes along with built-in fallacies often neglected. Utilizing a machine-learning approach, we reveal a universal hidden structures embedded in most natural images and show that 2D natural images can be compressed and thus encoded faithfully by vorticities along 1D boundaries. In addition, a hierarchy of visual information can be constructed according to the human-eye sensitivity. By projecting out the principal components for human vision, the invisible textures of the natural images emerge, providing a promising tool for medical image analysis in the future.

Modeling of Nanometer CMOS Transistors
Abstract
This talk covers two of the key two-dimensional effects in the modeling of nanometer MOSFETs. They are the scale length model and non-GCA (gradual channel approximation) modeling of the saturation region. The former leads to a minimum channel length and ultimately the scaling limit of nanometer MOSFETs. The latter addresses the 2-D nature of the MOSFET region beyond the saturation point, with clear distinction from the saturation of bipolar transistors. Key physics involved in both two-dimensional modeling will be highlighted.

Picard-Lefschetz Path Integrals for astrophysical lensing: imaging stars, planets and dark matter
Abstract
A new generation of coherent astrophysical sources of radiation places new challenges to compute the wave propagation for gravitational waves and Fast Radio Bursts. I will describe the Picard-Lefschetz picture, in which the oscillatory Kirchhoff path integral is described by a discrete collection of real and imaginary images, giving a dual picture of geometric optics. A number of quantum field theory phenomena analogs describe observables, including tunneling (imaginary images), image pair creation, strong turbulent scattering. These new tools enable gravitational lensing detection of black holes, dark matter, stars and planets.
