Title: "Perception of complex sounds across frequency"
Speaker: Daniel Guest, Ph.D.
Detection and analysis of complex sounds is essential for speech communication and making sense of the acoustic environment. In this talk, I will present several experiments that compare complex sound perception at low (below ~4 kHz) and high frequencies (above ~4 kHz) and reveal fundamental limitations in our ability to analyze complex sounds at higher frequencies. I will demonstrate how physiological models of...
From Statutes to Soil: How Environmental Law and Geoscience Interact in Practice
What happens when environmental lawyers and geoscientists team up to tackle contaminated sites? Join Iowa Law alum Michael Dunning (Partner at Perkins Coie) and David Cook (Principal Geologist at the State of Washington Water Research Center) for a candid conversation on real-world collaboration at the intersection of law, science, and redevelopment - from hazardous waste cleanup to major urban projects. This joint HELI-SEES session will explore why interdisciplinary fluency isn’t just useful in...

Differential Geometry Seminar - Elham Matinpour
Title: Geometric Stability of Minimal Surfaces with Y-Singularities
Abstract: Singular minimal surfaces arise naturally in geometric variational problems, yet their stability theory remains far less understood than in the smooth setting.
In this talk, I will present geometric stability results for minimal surfaces with Y-singularities in $\mathbb{R}^3$. I will explain how instability decomposes into contributions from the smooth faces and additional spectral effects localized along the singular...

Title: Proofs and Programs
Abstract:
The Curry-Howard correspondence is one of (if not the) most significant foundational result in the study of programming languages and logics.
At its most fundamental, the Curry-Howard correspondence describes a deep connection between (predicative intuitionistic) logic with (simply-typed functional) programming: logical propositions are types, proofs of those propositions are functions inhabiting those types, and simplification of those proofs is evaluation of...
