Speaker: Dr. José I. Robledo, Jülich Centre for Neutron Science, Germany

Can quantum mechanics help with the precise imaging of faint astronomical objects? In this talk Dr Huang will explain her recent research about a quantum protocol for distributed quantum sensing with applications to telescope arrays.

This week we will focus on developing a repertoire of facial expressions to make while playing ukulele solos.

Please address inquiries to the President's Office.

In the face of ongoing change across our world, societies, and organizations, Inclusive Leadership is critical for creating conditions and climates that enhance adaptability, empowerment and collaboration, and a strong sense of community and belonging. This year’s symposium brings us together to explore how the qualities of inclusive leadership can be engendered at multiple levels across our institutions.

We invite participants from Japan and across the world to engage in discussions, inquiry, and strategic thinking to explore how to: develop institutional cultures where every individual can thrive and their contributions are valued; instill ownership amongst leaders at all levels to actively foster inclusion and equity; empower those who identify as people from minoritized and underrepresented backgrounds to realize their full leadership potential.

Optomechanics is the science that describes the interaction of light with moving objects. It has developed rapidly over the past ten years and has many applications in developing novel high precision sensors such as LIGO. Dr Harris will describe research which uses magnetically levitated liquid Helium to perform optomechanical experiments.
