The Summer Undergraduate Research Scholars Symposium includes a three minute flash talk on the research project that each SURS student is working on in the summer 2018 class. Listen in for insights on STROBE research, interesting facts about the nature of imaging science research, and more!
The National Science Foundation has instituted a Responsible Conduct of Research policy that must be followed by every person who participants in an NSF grant or center. JILA’s two NSF Centers—the Physics Frontier Center and the STROBE Science & Technology Center— are hosting this seminar to discuss what RCR means at JILA, within all institutions involved in STROBE, and the greater scientific community.
This seminar will answer questions such as:
Scientists of the 21st century must be able to effectively communicate their research and utilize modern media elements to stay on the cutting edge of science and share their work with the world. Science videos can spark interdisciplinary collaborations with other researchers, add a media element to one of your journal articles, raise public awareness of the value of your work, and enhance your professional profile or website. This workshop will guide you through the basics of storyboarding, filming, and editing. Drs. Ryan Vachon and Dan Zietlow lead the workshop, drawing from their experience as hosts and producers of science shows with National Geographic and PBS. The workshop will feature Adobe Premiere for editing exercises.

We use splitting methods, suitably modified, to develop new and apparently successful algorithms. We seem to out-perform state-of-the-art when applied to real data obtained by working with Dr. Jianwei Miao’s research group.
If you’ve ever wondered about the different types of intellectual property (IP) and strategies using patents to make an impact, this seminar is for you. We provide you with an overview of the different types of IP, how it is managed at CU Boulder, and how the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) can help commercialize your inventions. We will also tell you about a variety of resources to help move your invention forward, regardless of whether you are interested in starting a company. This session will also discuss the importance of protecting confidential information and why a student may wish to obtain a non-disclosure agreement prior to speaking with a third party.
Please note that this seminar is specific to CU Boulder policies, but also contains a useful introduction to Intellectual Property.
Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) is a growing technique in photon science. CDI has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for visualizing cells and organelles using synchrotron radiation. X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) with femtosecond 3pulse durations further extends the ability of CDI to achieve spatial resolution beyond the conventional radiation-damage limitation. We performed live cell nano-imaging using a Japanese XFEL facility, SACLA. We employed pulsed coherent X-ray solution scattering (PCXSS), a form of X-ray CDI, developed by our group [1,2]. A unique feature of PCXSS is to keep solution sample under a controlled environment in micro-liquid enclosure array (MLEA) chips. We succeeded in reconstructing a live cell image from a coherent diffraction pattern recorded with a single XFEL shot. The reconstructed image quantitatively revealed the internal structures, e.g. high image intensity structure indicative of dense DNA [2]. PCXSS can also be effectively applied to nano-imaging of materials functional in solution. For example, we successfully imaged gold nanoparticle self-assemblies, developed as drug delivery carriers, in solution [3,4]. We also initiated industrial application of XFEL in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corp [5]. Furthermore, as recent developments in PCXSS, we report on time-resolved pump-probe measurement, temperature-controlled measurement, utilization of ~100-nm focused XFEL, etc.
