Meet a Scientist - Prof. Neta A. Bahcall

Neta Bahcall Princeton University
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100189
Astrophysics
Observational cosmology, with particular focus on the formation and evolution of large scale structures in our universe like clusters of galaxies as large as 500 million light years. “Weighing” the universe, and mapping out the mysterious dark matter it contains.
Meet a Scientist - Christopher Fuchs

Chris Fuchs University of Massachusetts Boston
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100214
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics
Applications of quantum theory to cryptography and computation; understanding in more concrete, physical terms what quantum theory is telling us about the nature of reality. Applications of information theory to better understand the quantum “wave function”.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Sumit R. Das

Sumit Das University of Kentucky
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100198
High Energy Physics
Mathematical methods in superstring theory with applications to black hole physics (e.g. Hawking radiation) and models of the fundamental forces of nature.
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
April 21, 2009

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 - 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 - 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 - Prof. Edward (Rocky) Kolb

Edward Kolb University of Chicago
January 27, 2009

PIRSA:09100200
Astrophysics
Cosmology, in particular applying the physics of elementary particles to the extremely hot and violent conditions of the early universe, and exploring deep questions about the big bang, the fate of our universe, and the hope for intelligent life (here or elsewhere)
Meet a Scientist - Sir Roger Penrose

Roger Penrose University of Oxford
January 27, 2009

PIRSA:09100203
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Many aspects of geometry, black holes, novel views on the evolution of the universe (was there something before the Big Bang?), the interplay and unification of general relativity and quantum physics, and science of consciousness.
