| Event Location: HENN 318 | Speaker: Maya Fishbach, Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA), University of Toronto
Abstract:
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has observed hundreds of gravitational-wave sources to date, including mergers between black holes, neutron stars, and mixed neutron star--black holes. These neutron stars and black holes connect many astrophysical puzzles, including the lives and deaths of stars, star cluster dynamics, cosmic chemical enrichment, and the expansion history of the Universe. I will describe some recent astrophysical lessons from gravitational-wave discoveries.

| Event Location: AMS NEST Room 2314 |
Event hosted by the AMS Medical Imaging Club at UBC.
This event is designed to connect students with professionals in medical imaging through a round-robin networking format. Attendees will have the chance to engage in face-to-face discussions with radiologists, MD and MD/PhD candidates, radiology residents, imaging technologists (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI), and UBC researchers in radiology.

| Event Location: BRIM 311 | Speaker: Philip Bement (UBC)
When running molecular dynamics simulations, typically timesteps must be on the order of 2fs to preserve numerical stability. This sharply limits our ability to generate trajectories for processes such as protein folding that can take on the order of milliseconds. In this talk, we'll discuss training a neural net to predict the configuration of the protein many timesteps in the future (conditional on its current configuration) in order to save computation.
