Amanda Baylor '20 and Ali Siddiqui '22 will present their summer research. Free pizza and everyone welcome to attend.
Amanda Baylor ‘20 will present "Accelerating Astrophysical Discovery with Reduced Order Modeling” Gravitational wave detectors are now more sophisticated than ever before, bringing with them a new and exciting era of gravitational wave physics. There is now a greater need for fast and accurate inference methods to extract astrophysical information about their sources. Current methods of parameter estimation take excessive computational time. We have built a reduced order model that generates significant speedup on Bayesian inference analyses and produces probability distributions on the parameters of these sources, with an application to a real binary neutron star detection. Ali Siddiqui ‘22 will present “Study and Characterization of Graphene Induced Hybrid Structures” Graphene is an allotrope of Carbon in the form of two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. Its special properties (flexibility, strength and conductivity), and the demand for miniaturization of electronic devices has lent heavily to the research and development of graphene induced hybrid structures. Graphene induced Metal Semiconductor Metal (MSM) are one of such hybrid structures. The electrical and optical response of Graphene induced MSM was analyzed to study the sample’s potential compatibility, and its potential use in optical sensing devices and as photodetectors.
