Astro Seminar Series - VIA ZOOM

Megan Donahue is a professor of physics and astronomy at Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, Michigan. She is interested in astrophysical questions relating to intergalactic baryons, particularly those surrounding galaxies. Those questions range from cosmology and dark matter to galaxy evolution. Her PhD in astrophysics is from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Phys10 - Journeying the Quantum, the Cosmic, and the Arts

Dr. Smitha Vishveshwara

Professor
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Dr. Vishveshwara's research spans a broad range of topics in quantum condensed matter theory. Her group maintains active collaborations worldwide and strong ties with condensed matter and cold atomic experimentalists. Her work also interfaces with other sub-disciplines, such as with biological physics and gravitation.

Phys10 - The Science and Fiction of Causality Violations and Time Travel

Dr. Barak Shoshany

Professor
Brock University

Next week’s phys 10 lecture is given by Dr. Barak Shoshany, a time travel physicist, from Brock University. Dr. Shoshany uses the concepts of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to try to figure out a way to time travel to the future and to the past. I could say he could have the manual of how to become a time traveler.
