Renowned Physicist to Speak at NSU, Dec. 18
Pierre Ramond, Ph.D.
The Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Math, Science, and Technology will host a lecture by renowned physicist Pierre Ramond, Ph.D., on Saturday, Dec. 18. The talk—part of the Miami 2010 topical conference on elementary particles, astrophysics, and cosmology—will begin at 8 p.m. in the Performance Theatre of the college’s Performing and Visual Arts Wing in the Don Taft University Center.
Ramond will speak on “Mathematics, Physics, and the Large Hadron Collider,” which will explore the interplay between mathematics and physics. Guided by mathematical beauty, physicists have been led to a certain view of the elementary constituents of the universe and of space and time. This view will soon be either confirmed or revised by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Ramond, a distinguished professor of physics at the University of Florida, is a pioneer in the development of Supersymmetry and String Theory. He is the recipient of the 2004 Oskar Klein Medal, awarded by Stockholm University and the Nobel Committee of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences.
