Physics Colloquium
Presented by: Scott Watson Cosmological observations provide overwhelming evidence that our universe is almost entirely comprised of dark energy and dark matter, both of which have no theoretical explanation within the standard model of particle physics. The former is responsible for a current period of cosmic acceleration, much like that which occurred in the earliest moments of the universe. The early period of cosmic acceleration, known as inflation, was vital in providing the primordial seeds from which galaxies and clusters…

The Big Science of Little Neutrinos Sep 22, 2015 Presented by: Mitchell Soderberg Held at: Room 202/204 Physics, 3:45pm (refreshments 3:30pm) Experimental studies of neutrinos are notoriously challenging due to the feebleness of their interactions with matter, so it may seem counterintuitive to suggest these “little neutral ones” could have played a central role in the development of our universe to its current matter-dominated state. This talk will provide an overview of the interesting physics questions associated with neutrinos, and…

Leveraging Computational Social Science to address Grand Societal Challenges Presented by: Noshir Contractor Hosted by the Physics Department and the Humanities Center The increased access to big data about social phenomena in general, and network data in particular, has been a windfall for social scientists. But these exciting opportunities must be accompanied with careful reflection on how big data can motivate new theories and methods. Using examples of his research in the area of networks, Contractor will argue that Computational…
