DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julia Reisenbauer & Charles Roques-Carmes\nhosted by J
 ohannes Fink & Latha Venkataraman\nAbstract: Scaling Light\, Integrating M
 atter\, Imaging the NanoscaleModern photonic technologies increasingly rel
 y on the ability to control\, manipulate\, and process light within compac
 t and scalable integrated platforms. At the same time\, advances in functi
 onal and quantum materials are expanding the range of optical phenomena th
 at can be engineered on chip\, enabling new approaches to light generation
 \, detection\, nonlinear interactions\, and radiation sensing. As photonic
  circuits grow from a few elements to hundreds or thousands of reconfigura
 ble degrees of freedom\, they open new opportunities in imaging\, sensing\
 , computing\, and quantum technologies.In this talk\, I will describe how 
 my group at ISTA aims to build next-generation optoelectronic platforms by
  combining scalable photonics\, functional materials\, and advanced charac
 terization. I will first discuss programmable integrated photonic systems 
 that manipulate partially coherent light on chip\, enabling new measuremen
 t modalities that would be difficult to realize in free space. I will then
  turn to the integration of emerging materials into nanophotonic devices\,
  with a focus on radiation-sensitive materials that can reshape how X-rays
  are converted into optical information. These platforms point toward nano
 photonic scintillators\, metasurface-enhanced radiation detectors\, and qu
 antum-optical approaches to high-energy imaging.Finally\, I will discuss t
 he microscopy tools we are developing to characterize these increasingly c
 omplex nanophotonic and nanomaterial systems. More broadly\, our goal is t
 o establish integrated photonics as a scalable physical platform for revea
 ling\, controlling\, and exploiting light-matter interactions across optic
 al\, quantum\, and high-energy regimes._______Reprogramming Enzymes to Cat
 alyze Non-native ReactionsEnzymes are Nature’s catalysts\, evolved to co
 nstruct and degrade molecules with remarkable efficiency and selectivity. 
 Although their activities have been shaped by natural selection to fulfill
  specific biological functions\, many enzymes retain promiscuous catalytic
  activities toward non-native substrates and reactions. By leveraging fund
 amental concepts such as catalytic promiscuity and directed evolution\, we
  repurpose and engineer these enzymes for applications in synthetic chemis
 try and bioremediation\, enabling the degradation of emerging environmenta
 l contaminants while simultaneously expanding the accessible chemical spac
 e and introducing new reactions to the synthetic chemist’s toolkit.
