The Importance of Observation by Tarek Anous

1/6/2014

0 Comments

 
We opened our second trimester with a public lecture by Harvard-trained theoretical physicist Tarek Anous. Tarek spoke about - amongst other things - the importance of observation in modern physics.

Tarek completed his PhD in theoretical high energy physics at Harvard University and is now a postdoctoral research fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research interests and publications are split between two main topics: first is the quantum nature of expanding universes, such as our own, known as de Sitter space, and secondly on the nature of multicentered black hole bound states in string theory and their dual descriptions as amorphous/frustrated glassy systems.

The lecture was amazing and the energy and enthusiasm of Tarek was infectious and all through the talk was very interactive and there were many interesting questions by the audience.
