Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Ananth Tenneti - I completed my PhD in Physics at Carnegie Mellon University in December 2016. I have studied intrinsic alignments of galaxies using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Intrinsic alignments are an important astrophysical systematic in the weak lensing analysis for upcoming surveys such as the LSST (Rubin) and Euclid.

Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Nicole Nesvadba, directrice de recherche at the CNRS, is an expert in galaxy evolution based at the Laboratoire Lagrange at the Observatoire de la  Côte d’Azur in Nice, France. Her main research interest are the rapid, vigorous, and transformative phases of galaxy evolution where large amounts of energy are rapidly being injected into the interstellar gas of galaxies, like starburst or sites of strong AGN feedback.

WCA public lecture: Physics at the End of the Universe

Dr. Katie Mack, Physics at the End of the Universe

The Big Bang theory tells the story of the beginning of the Universe, our cosmic home for the last 13.8 billion years. But how does the story end? I’ll share what modern astrophysics tells us about the ultimate fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.
