THURSDAY Panelists

Panelist: Curt Burgess

Professor of Psychology, Ph.D. University of Rochester

Areas of specialization: Cognitive science; memory mechanisms that underlie language comprehension, the processing of semantic and syntactic ambiguity, as well as figurative language.

In general, I am interested in how meaning can be represented at the cognitive, neural, and computational levels. From a neurolinguistic perspective, my work investigates the complementary roles of the two cerebral hemispheres in activating information in memory using both normal, computational and brain-damaged subject populations.

Panelist: Ludwig Bartels

Professor of Chemistry CFM in Elec. & Mech. Eng. and Physics, Ph.D. Freie Universität Berlin

Areas of specialization: Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Materials Chemistry (Research Group)

Research in the Bartels Lab addresses three different areas of surface chemistry, physics and materials science: the growth and properties of MoS2 and other metal dichalcogenides monolayers; the processes underlying ordering and self-assembly of molecular layers at metal surfaces; and the control of molecular motion at surface aiming at the development of molecular machine.

Panelist: Ward Beyermann

Professor of Physics, Ph.D. University of California, Los Angeles

Areas of specialization: Experimental condensed matter physic: the transport and thermodynamic properties of highly correlated electronic condensed matter systems.

Dr. Ward Beyermann is an Associate Professor of Physics. His research focus is in the area of thermodynamic, magnetic and transport properties of exotic materials over a wide range of temperature and applied magnetic field.

Panelist: Erika Suderburg

Professor of Media & Cultural Studies, MFA. University of California, San Diego

Areas of specialization: Areas of interest include experimental film, media arts, installation art, critical theory, activist practice(s), and queer theory.

Erika Suderburg is a filmmaker and writer. She has written on art, performance, media theory, and television and film history. Her work has been exhibited in film festivals, museums, and on television including: the Pacific Film Archives-Berkeley, the Museum of Modern Art-New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art-Los Angeles, Kunstlerhaus-Stuttgart, Fukai International Video Biennale-Japan, International Video Festival-Bonn, Mix Mexico-Mexico City, and The Getty Museum-Los Angeles, among many others.
