Confronting the Legacy of the Human Betterment Foundation at Caltech
The Human Betterment Foundation was a pro-eugenics think-tank operating in the 1930s and early 1940s out of Pasadena, California. Its aim was to influence public and medical opinion in favor of sterilization of "socially undesirable elements": disabled, poor, and racialized people. Many board members had ties to Caltech, most notably Caltech's then-president Robert Millikan. Upon […]
Applied Math Seminar: Junshan Lin (Auburn)
Title: Scattering Resonances Through Subwavelength Holes and Their Applications in Imaging and Sensing Abstract: The so-called extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through metallic nanoholes has triggered extensive research in modern plasmonics and their applications in bio-sensing, imaging, etc. This talk aims to provide quantitative mathematical theories to understand a variety of resonances that induce the EOT […]
