SUMMARY:Confronting the Legacy of the Human Betterment Foundation at Caltech 
DESCRIPTION: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 the HBF’s disincorporation following its founder E.S. Gosney’s death in 1942\, the HBF’s financial assets were given to Caltech and its records were placed in the Caltech archives.\n\nPlease join us for a brief presentation by Jane Panangaden and collective discussion on the recent activism by Caltech students aimed at bringing the HBF’s activities to light and pushing the Caltech administration to make changes on campus. These changes include both symbolic recognition in the form of renaming buildings which previously honored HBF board members\, to material changes such as improvements to students’ health insurance plans and financial support for racially minoritized scholars.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar: Junshan Lin (Auburn)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Scattering Resonances Through Subwavelength Holes and Their Applications in Imaging and Sensing \nAbstract:\nThe 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 phenomenon and present mathematical studies for their applications in imaging and sensing. \nIn the first part of the talk\, based upon the layer potential technique\, asymptotic analysis and the homogenization theory\, I will present rigorous mathematical analysis to investigate the scattering resonances for several typical two-dimensional structures\, including Fabry-Perot resonance\, Fano resonance\, etc. In the second part of the talk\, mathematical studies for their applications in sensing and super-resolution imaging will be discussed. I will focus on the resonance frequency sensitivity analysis and how one can achieve super-resolution by using plasmonic nanohole structures.
