Academic Career Seminar

This is the 2nd career talk session collabolated with Sokendai. This session is open to other universityes too. Discover the keys to success in academia as accomplished OIST alumnae share personal anecdotes, invaluable advice, and practical strategies for navigating the challenges and seizing the opportunities that lie ahead. Do not miss out this event which offers a golden opportunity to connect with our alumnae, forge meaningful connections, and gain inspiration from those who have walked the path before you.

We will have two of OIST almuni, Dr. Kamila Mustafina and Dr. Swathy Babu.

Class2023 ONLY: Effective Team Dynamics (ETD) workshop

This in-person interactive workshop is for graduate students Class2023. This ICOGS* workshop is offered by the Georgia Tech Effective Team Dynamics Initiative and will be facilitated by Prof Mary Lynn Realff (MSE). * (ICOGS) Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Graduate Students

Working as part of a team, or group, comes with both benefits and challenges. The benefits include interacting with people who bring different viewpoints, expertise and experiences to the table. However, the challenges include communicating effectively with people who have different backgrounds and dealing constructively with conflict due to different viewpoints.

The workshop will explore how diversity in a team can strengthen it, different approaches to dealing with conflict, how to have a “difficult conversation” with both peers and your supervisor, and strategies for avoiding communications problems. Take home tools to improve your team skills will be provided.

Graduate School Mini Course Series: Introduction to Supersymmetric QFT

Supersymmetry is a remarkable invariance property of physical theories which extends the usual notion of a symmetry algebra to allow for the inclusion of fermionic generators. Field theories with supersymmetry exhibit many physically relevant phenomena such as quark confinement, dynamical symmetry breaking and non-perturbative dualities in a setting where they can be studied precisely using analytic methods. Supersymmetric QFTs have also played a key role in the development of the AdS/CFT correspondence, for which they provide the best understood examples. In this course, Dr. Nick Dorey will give an overview of these developments emphasizing those things which we can calculate exactly.
