Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: A rigorous four-week, fully online certification course that introduces faculty to the current research and best practices for online teaching and learning. Using their own discipline-specific course materials for activities, faculty will work independently, and collaboratively with peers from across campus, and with Instructional Designers to design and build one unit of online instruction in a myCourses site. This unit will meet the Quality Online Course Review Rubric criteria and be a model that faculty can reference and replicate as they continue to develop their upcoming fully online course(s).

Physics Seminar - Quantum Corrections to Thermodynamics of Cold Black Holes
- Location: > See description for location
- Contact: Physics Department
- Description: Speaker: Ahmed Sheta, PhD student, Harvard University
Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Time: 2:00pm
Zoom Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/97194605612?pwd=Z2phOWpaanRFdnNrWk9GVFAyZWQ1QT09
Abstract:
In this talk, I will review the framework of black hole thermodynamics set up by Bekenstein & Hawking in the 70's, and possible insights it could shed on quantum theories of gravity. I will then describe the low temperature (high-spin) limit of thermodynamics of rotating black holes, and I will review an old puzzle related to the breakdown of thermodynamics as the black hole spins close to the speed of light. Then, I will discuss recent work in which we resolved this puzzle by properly accounting for quantum corrections which dominate the low-temperature thermodynamics.
Biography:
Ahmed Sheta is a PhD student at Harvard University. Originally from Egypt, he did his bachelor's at Columbia University (Class of 2021) and is currently a graduate student in the group of Andrew Strominger. He is working on various aspects of black hole physics, within both classical and quantum gravity.
NOTE: All PHY Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend. All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
