October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100197
Astrophysics
Cosmology as a natural meeting ground for fundamental theory (e.g. superstring theory or quantum gravity) and observations. Exploring how seeds laid down in the very early universe developed into the large scale structure we observe in the universe today.

PIRSA:09100186
High Energy Physics

Astrophysics
What, exactly, happened around the time of the Big Bang? Exploring new models inspired by superstring theory and supergravity, e.g. ones in which we live on “branes” that collide with a “big bang”. Satellite experiments to test such models.
Meet a Scientist - Dr. Olivier Dore

Olivier Dore National Aeronautics and Space Administration
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100188
Astrophysics
The origin and evolution of the largest observable structures in the universe (much larger than entire galaxies); understanding why the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Observational techniques: cosmic microwave background, gravitational lensing and gravity waves.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Andreas Albrecht

Andreas Albrecht University of California, Davis
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100190
Astrophysics
Implications of high-energy elementary particle physics for physics of the early universe and its evolution (Big Bang, creation of matter, formation of galaxies, etc). And vice-versa: implications of observable cosmological data for fundamental physics.
Meet a Scientist - Lisa Randall

PIRSA:09100201
High Energy Physics

High Energy Physics

Astrophysics
Particle physics, cosmology, and the study of a wide variety of theoretical models – most notably ones involving extra dimensions of space. Randall works on several of the competing models of string theory in the quest to explain the fabric of the universe.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Roderich Tumulka
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100211
Quantum Physics
Removing the mystery from quantum mechanics, the Bohmian perspective – a way of describing the motion of quantum particles, and applying this to spacetime singularities (where gravity becomes infinite) like those inside a black hole.
Meet a Scientist - John Norton

John Norton University of Pittsburgh
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09040063
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Philosophy of physics, puzzles about the content and status of foundational principles – the logic of physicists’ basic assumptions, especially with regards to space and time, and the history of science, e.g. exactly how Einstein made his discoveries.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Bill Unruh

Bill Unruh University of British Columbia
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100210
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Quantum gravity, quantum processes in the early universe, evaporation of black holes, limits on the measurements made by real detectors (coupled to the environment), and with regards to mathematical problems, studying techniques rather than finding solutions.
Meet a Scientist - Jenann Ismael

Jenann Ismael Columbia University
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100207
Quantum Physics
The nature of time, probability and quantum mechanics, philosophy of physics and metaphysics, especially issues involving the role of mathematical tools like symmetry in physics, and applying this formal apparatus to the philosophy of mind.
Meet a Scientist - Gerard Milburn

Gerard Milburn University of Queensland
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100209
Quantum Physics
Achievable experimental systems in quantum and atomic optics, the effects of measurement and control on quantum systems, quantum technologies for processing information and quantum computation.
Meet a Scientist - Sir Anthony Leggett

Anthony Leggett University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
January 27, 2009

PIRSA:09100202
Quantum Physics
Condensed matter systems at ultra low-temperature that show purely quantum phenomena – even on big scales (superfluidity, superconductivity, Bose-Einstein condensates); measurements in the quantum world; probing the foundations of quantum theory.
