Title:	"Electron Heating Effects in Disordered Insulators."
Speaker:	Dr. Vikram Tripathi
Reference:	(1) T. I. Baturina et al. PRL 99, 257003 (2007), (2) M. Ovadia et al. PRL 102, 176802 (2009), (3) B. L. Altshuler et al. PRL 102, 176803 (2009)
Abstract:	I will discuss the recent proposal of a "superinsulator" phase of dirty superconductors and its simple physical explanation as a bistability caused by electron overheating.
