It has become clear over the last several years that there is a remarkable exception
to this rule. Resonant relaxation due to orbit-averaged secular dynamics in galactic nuclei
drives them to states of thermal and rotational equilibria on an astronomically short timescale.
There are fun applications: phase transitions leading to lopsided precessing equilibria (similar-looking to the nucleus of Andromeda), and strong clustering in eccentricity and inclination of stellar-mass black holes. Following Rauch and Tremaine, I will use statistical physics to argue that secular-dynamical "resonant friction" must exist and
that moreover, it likely plays a huge role in galactic nuclei. It controls the dynamics of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes as well
as that of stellar and accretion discs. The young stellar disc at the center of our Galaxy presents a good case study for this effect.

However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding how these machines store and utilize training samples to generalize to unseen data. In my thesis (guided by Prof. Irani), I investigated how neural networks encode training samples in their parameters and how such samples can sometimes be reconstructed. Additionally, I examined the capabilities of generative models in learning and generalizing from a single video. Specifically, I explored the effectiveness of patch-based methods and diffusion models in generating diverse output samples, and how such models can utilize the motion and dynamics of a single input video to learn and generalize. -

Artificial Metalloenzymes for in vivo Catalysis: Challenges and Opportunities

Department of Chemistry, University of BaselOrganizer Faculty of ChemistryHomepage Contact Abstract Show full text abstract about Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) have attracted increasing a...» Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) have attracted increasing attention in the past two
decades as attractive alternatives to either homogeneous catalysts or enzymes.
Artificial metalloenzymes result from anchoring a catalytically competent abiotic metal
cofactor within a host protein, Figure. The resulting ArMs combine attractive features
of both homogeneous- and bio-catalysts. Importantly, they enable access to new-tonature
reactions in a cellular environment.
Relying on a supramolecular anchoring of an organometallic cofactor in various
protein scaffolds, we have optimized the performance of ArMs for sixteen different
reactions, Figure.
Following a general introduction to the underlying principles of ArMs, this talk will
highlight our recent progress in engineering and evolving such hybrid catalysts for
olefin metathesis, C–H activation, hydroamination, and allylic substitution. A
particular emphasis will be set on performing catalysis in a cellular environment. -
