Physics Colloquium, Thursdays at 4:25 via Zoom. This Week 10/22/20: “What can we learn from heavy neutron stars?” By Dr. Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler. For more information please click here
Welcoming a New Professor: We would like to welcome Dr. Anders Knospe to our department! Dr. Knospe is an experimental nuclear physicist who specializes in studying resonances in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Coming from working at the University of Houston and CERN, he will be starting in the Physics Department as an Assistant Professor in the fall of 2020.
Special Colloquia on Richard Feynman. On Nov. 1 & 8, 2018, the Physics Department hosted a series of presentations on Richard Feynman, involving his life and contributions to science. Here are links to content relating to those presentations...
