WELCOME TO THE GERS LABORATORY!
Human, as the only dominant species on Earth, has been changing the Earth's surface throughout its existence, which has greatly threatened the sustainability, biodiversity, and ecosystems of the Earth. Satellite remote sensing is one of the most powerful tools for observing the Earth’s surface because of its repeated synoptic collection of consistent measurements.
A central research theme of GERS laboratory is to understand how the world is changing based on quantitative remote sensing. We are interested in using a variety of remote sensing sensors, such as drones, small satellites, Landsat, Sentinel-2, MODIS, VIIRS, LIDAR, and Radar to monitor environmental change at regional to global scales.
The GIFs below illustrate the land-water dynmaics, forest change, urban disturbance, and agricultre practice from 1982 to present based on all available Landsats 4-8 images (thousands of images for each image chip!).

Prof. Nora Berrah, Department of Physics, University of Connecticut
Probing Molecular Dynamics in Real Time with Fancy Lasers
The knowledge of the earliest time dynamics in molecular photophysics is critical because its role is to harness the energy from photons, initiating electronic and nuclear motion which is
fundamental in many areas of science. Our ultimate goal is to understand the coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics induced by the absorption of photons by molecules, which leads first to attosecond electron excitation within the molecules, followed by nuclear motion in the femtosecond range. This eventually results in the breaking and making of chemical bonds on the
picosecond timescale.
Our UConn lab uses ultrafast table-top lasers and a Cold Target Recoil-Ion Momentum
Spectroscopy (COLTRIMS) with IR and UV to determine processes such as double-H migration
in molecules as demonstrated by our recent work by McDonnel et al., “Ultrafast laser-induced
isomerization dynamics in Acetonitrile”, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 11, 6724−6729 (2020).
The past decade has seen the exciting birth of the first X-ray laser, the LCLS free electron laser (FEL) followed by other FELs around the world, leading to an explosion of new science, in the femtosecond and very recently in the attosecond regime. Our recent time-resolved experimental results using pump-probe technique with FELs to watch, in real time, the response of large
molecules to intense X-rays is included in Berrah et al., “X-ray multiphoton ionization of molecules: Femtosecond-resolved observation of delayed fragmentation and evaporation of neutral atoms”, Nature
Physics 15, 1279 (2019).
We also investigate inner-shell molecular ionization and fragmentation dynamics of large
molecules using differential techniques such as double velocity map imaging (VMI) spectrometers to carry out electron-ion and ion-ion coincidence experiments at the ALS synchrotron at LBNL,
that allowed detail measurements such as our recent work by Obaid et al., “Intermolecular Coulombic decay in endohedral fullerene at the 4d→ 4f resonance”, Phys. Rev Lett. 124 (11), 113002, (2020).

Energy Sciences, Office of Science, US Department of Energy and the NSF.Contact Information: Prof. V. Kharchenko

Supermassive black holes are among the most exciting and unusual objects in our Universe, as literal rips in space and time. Reliable measurements of mass, the structure, and geometry of infalling material to supermassive black holes are critical to understanding the growth history of black holes and galaxy formation and evolution over cosmic time. Beyond the local Universe, the gold standard for black hole mass and accretion-disk structure is reverberation mapping. I will present a new generation of industrial-scale study of the structure, and geometry of infalling material and black hole mass studies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project and Ultraviolet-monitoring using the Hubble Space Telescope. These new measurements have transformed our understanding of supermassive black holes by dramatically expanding the number of quasars with reliable mass and accretion structure in distant Universe. These measurements have also revealed a surprisingly large diversity in accretion structure and the broad-line region size of quasars at the peak of supermassive black hole assembly. My work lays the foundation by developing the framework to reliably measure mass and the structure of accretion using direct disk size measurements from future massive time-domain photometric monitoring studies from SDSS-V and Rubin/LSST.

Teaching talks are interactive sessions where you can meet other instructors to discuss a particular theme or topic related to teaching, mentoring, and course design. Unlike webinars, teaching talks are heavily shaped by participation, though they are facilitated by CETL staff and faculty affiliates who offer tools, resources, and prompts for reflection and discussion. Some topics we may consider include:
• Key findings about trauma and learning, incl. frameworks of healing and somatic practice
• Explore evidence-based tools from contemplative practices and their uses in classrooms and in preparing for antiracist teaching
• Identify ways to build community through the “tree of contemplative practices”

Abstract: The separation profile of an infinite graph was introduced by Benjamini-Schramm-Timar. It is a function which measures how
well-connected the graph is by how hard it is to cut finite subgraphs into small pieces. In earlier joint work with David Hume and Romain Tessera, we introduced Poincaré profiles, generalising this concept by using p-Poincaré inequalities to measure the connected-ness of subgraphs. I will discuss this family of invariants, their applications to coarse embedding problems, and recent work finding the profiles of all connected unimodular Lie groups, where a dichotomy is exhibited.

Math 5010 (Sasha Teplyaev) Topics in Analysis: Probabilistic techniques in analysis
This course will be based on the book by Rich Bass with the same title, and on supplementary materials. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in using techniques drawn from probability to tackle problems in analysis. These applications arise in subjects such as potential theory, harmonic analysis,
singular integrals, and the study of analytic functions. This book presents a modern
survey of these methods at the level of a beginning Ph.D. student. Highlights of
this book include the construction of the Martin boundary, probabilistic proofs of the boundary Harnack principle, Dahlberg’s theorem, a probabilistic proof of Riesz’ theorem on the Hilbert transform, and Makarov’s theorems on the support of harmonic measure. The author assumes that a reader has some background in basic
real analysis, but the book includes proofs of all the results from probability theory and advanced analysis required. Each chapter concludes with exercises ranging from the routine to the difficult. In addition, there are included discussions of open problems and further avenues of research. This course will be based on the book by Rich Bass with the same title, and on supplementary materials.

More than 60% of animation students in college are women, yet they make up less than 20% of animation creatives in the workplace. While the industry is beginning to address this disparity and become more inclusive, there are still remnants of the long-existing “boys club.” In this discussion, we'll talk about animation and the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated pipeline.
