S he previously taught at The Catholic University of America in the Departme nt of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures and at New York Unive rsity’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World. She was also an af filiate member of the European Research Council (ERC) project “The Qur ’an as a Source for Late Antiquity”\, and participated in archaeologic al projects in Iraqi Kurdistan\, Sicily\, Ethiopia\, and Jordan.Her doctor al dissertation at the University of Cambridge was published as a monograp h\, Pre-Islamic Arabia: Societies\, Politics\, Cults\, and Identities duri ng Late Antiquity (Cambridge University Press\, 2023). Her work on the Red Sea\, Central Asia and Sicily in the ancient and medieval period has been featured in The Journal of Near Eastern Studies\, The Journal of Late Ant iquity\, Millennium\, The Journal of Ancient Near Eastern History and The Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures among others. She is currently edit ing Moving (Indian) Images in the First Millennium: papers from “Indian Ocean Figures that Sailed Away” an ISAW workshop series\, spring 2022(Br epols) and finishing her second monograph on a Red Sea pan-culture encompa ssing aesthetic and religious practices.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe emergence of I slam in South Arabia called for new communal gathering spaces. Instead of seeking fresh quarries\, the masons salvaged columns from the ruined Churc h of Abraha—a sixth-century cathedral constructed specifically to rival Mecca—and integrated them into the structure of what would later become the Great Mosque of Sana’a. Excavations at Beta Samati in Ethiopia confi rm a similar palimpsest two centuries earlier\, during the spread of Chris tianity in the Horn of Africa. There\, Christian basilicas adapted pagan p redecessors\, thereby re-adapting ancient carving techniques\, plans\, and motifs traceable to South Arabia. This presentation is structured in two parts. The first examines the historical context of late antique South Ara bia: early contacts with the Horn of Africa\, the emergence of a unified p olitical entity under Himyar\, the Aksumite conquest at the time of the so -called Massacre of Najran\, and\, eventually\, Caliphal rule. The second part turns to the region’s visual culture and religious architecture\, r anging from pagan temples and synagogues to churches and mosques. Drawing on my forthcoming monograph on cross-cultural interaction across the Red S ea\, I argue for the existence of a Red Sea pan-culture encompassing both aesthetic and religious practices\, demonstrating that the rise of Islam d id not abruptly terminate South Arabia’s ancient aesthetic traditions. I n the Great Mosque of Sana’a\, for instance\, the reuse of pre-Islamic s tructural and decorative elements and masonry techniques points to a desir e to amalgamate rather than erase the past. Moreover\, the plans of some e arly mosques bear a striking resemblance to ancient South Arabian pagan te mples\, such as the temple of Sirwah\, dedicated to Almaqah.

Seven decades later\, that vis ion remains as compelling as ever. Yet despite the extraordinary contribut ions of nuclear science to modern society\, public perception continues to be shaped by misconceptions that often obscure its profound humanitarian and technological impact.\n\nToday\, nuclear science underpins innovations across a wide range of disciplines. In medicine\, radiation-based diagnos tics and radiotherapy have become indispensable tools in the prevention\, diagnosis\, and treatment of disease\, improving and saving millions of li ves each year. In agriculture\, nuclear techniques enhance food security b y controlling destructive pests\, improving soil and water management\, an d accelerating the development of climate-resilient crop varieties. Isotop e hydrology enables the sustainable assessment and management of groundwat er resources\, safeguarding access to clean water for communities around t he world. Nuclear technologies also play a critical role in environmental stewardship\, ranging from tracing pollutants in oceans and ecosystems to monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition to clean er energy systems. At the frontier of energy research\, advances in fusion science are bringing the long-standing goal of safe\, abundant\, carbon-f ree power closer to reality.\n\nDr. Mokhtar will also examine the challeng es that continue to limit the full realization of nuclear science’s pote ntial. Public skepticism\, policy and regulatory barriers\, and persistent gaps in scientific literacy can all impede the adoption of technologies c apable of addressing some of humanity’s most pressing challenges. Drawin g on her experience at the intersection of science\, policy\, and internat ional engagement\, she will discuss how education\, effective science comm unication\, international cooperation\, and scientific diplomacy can help build public trust\, inform evidence-based decision-making\, and ensure th at the benefits of nuclear science are accessible to societies around the world.

That is w hy a modern smartphone holds more than eighty acoustic filters\, and why p iezoelectric devices are among the most volume-efficient signal processing components on chip. This talk asks how far that advantage can be scaled i n piezoelectric platforms.\n\n \n\nIn thin film piezoelectrics\, e.g.\, li thium niobate\, scaling toward millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequenci es runs into two constraints that pull against each other: thinner films l ose quality factor to surfaces and interfaces\, while higher-order overton es lose piezoelectric coupling to charge cancellation. The first part of t he talk covers periodically polarized piezoelectric films\, in which bonde d interfaces a few nanometers thick are placed at acoustic stress nodes so that the two constraints can be treated separately. On this platform we h ave measured resonators above 200 GHz and filters up to 50 GHz. Cryogenic measurements separate temperature-dependent phonon–phonon dissipation fr om the temperature-independent interface loss that dominates at present\, and show that these devices are still well short of the intrinsic limit.\n \n \n\nAdditionally\, thin suspended films also concentrate energy\, so mo dest drive powers are enough to produce strong nonlinearity\, including ph ononic frequency combs generated from a single input tone. The talk closes with ways the same platform couples acoustics to other domains: optomecha nical infrared sensing\, acoustoelectric interaction with electrons\, and piezoelectric resonators that replace magnetics in power conversion. Taken together\, these devices cover nearly six decades of frequency\, from ult rasonic transducers below 100 kHz to resonators above 100 GHz\, on one int egrated acoustic microsystems.
