  Science, Art, and the Search for Meaning: Exhibition Opening Conversation with Dario Robleto

  Block Museum of Art

  2:00 PM McCormick Auditorium, Norris University Center

  EVENT DETAILSmore info

  For Dario Robleto, the practice of art shares a key aspiration with scientific endeavor: both artists and scientists strive to increase the sensitivity of their observations. In her contribution to The Heart’s Knowledge catalogue, Jennifer Roberts (Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University) writes that “the act of measurement cannot be separated from the search for meaning.” What are the tools that artists and scientists use to observe and measure the unknown? How might we use those tools collaboratively to construct new pathways of human understanding across time and distance? How might shared values of empathy, care, and curiosity guide such pursuits?

  In this opening conversation, Robleto and Roberts will be joined by Lucianne Walkowicz, astronomer and co-founder of the JustSpace Alliance, and Michael Metzger, Pick-Laudati Curator of Media Arts and curator of The Heart’s Knowledge, to reflect on these questions. Join us for a discussion that reaches across boundaries to examine the shared pursuit of greater understanding that binds artists and scientists.

  Drop by The Block early and join the Block Museum Student Associates in the galleries for a look at the exhibition.

  Programs are open to all, on a first-come first-served basis. RSVPs not required, but appreciated.

  ECE Seminar - Nurani Saoda: Designing Energy-harvesting Systems for Sustainable Internet-of-Things

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  11:00 AM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Nurani Saoda is a PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia. Her research is broadly focused on ubiquitous sensing through energy-harvesting systems with an emphasis on sustainable computing.
  
  Ubiquitous computing remarkably extends the reach of sensing by pushing computation into physical objects with multifarious forms. The result is sensing at a tremendous scale to enable industrial control, building management, citywide environmental monitoring, and mass inhabitant (i.e, wildlife and marine life) tracking. The energy and resource demands of these computers are lifelong and dynamic.

  ECE Distinguished Seminar with Professor Andrea Alu

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  2:00 PM 2350, Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center

  EVENT DETAILS

  Prof. Andrea Alù is a Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY), the Founding Director of the Photonics Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, and the Einstein Professor of Physics at the CUNY Graduate Center.
  
  The field of metamaterials, artificial materials engineered at the nanoscale, has been rapidly evolving in the past two decades, demonstrating extreme optical and acoustic phenomena and unprecedented control over wave propagation. In this talk, he will discuss recent developments in this field of research, with an emphasis on the role of symmetries in establishing emerging optical and acoustic responses for metamaterials based on otherwise simple constituents.
