澳门六合彩历史记录 Experts Available to Discuss Upcoming Solar Eclipse
A total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States and Canada, on Monday, April 8. The last solar eclipse took place on Aug. 21, 2017, and this astronomical event will not happen again until Aug. 12, 2045.
Experts from 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 Charles E. Schmidt College of Science are available to discuss various aspects related to the upcoming solar eclipse.
, Ph.D., chair, Department of Physics: A theoretical physicist with expertise in computation, Wille鈥檚 knowledge includes the fields of nanotechnology, ecology, biophysics, materials science, social and economic systems, energy production and conservation. His research covers a wide range of topics, all centered around the collective behavior of complex systems. Recent examples include synchronization of oscillators, protein folding, DNA denaturation and magnetic nano structures. Among his broad research interests include molecular dynamics of biomolecules, simulation of desalination on graphene nano structures, bioinformatics algorithms, optimization by heuristic methods such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms, neural networks, and collective behavior of non-linear oscillator systems. He employs computer simulation and model development based on exact physical principles.
, Ph.D., Bj枚rn Lamborn Endowed Chair in Astrophysics, Department of Physics: Sarajedini鈥檚 research specialty is the study of resolved stellar populations with the goal of better understanding how galaxies form and evolve. In February, Sarajedini was elected as a Fellow of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) for his contributions to the field of resolved stellar populations as applied to the formation and evolution of star clusters and galaxies, extensive service to the astronomical community through leadership of committees, and outstanding efforts in public service such as hosting the 鈥淎stronomy Minute鈥 podcast.
, Ph.D., professor of physics, Department of Physics: Sarajedini鈥檚 research expertise and interests include multiwavelength study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), an extremely bright central region of a galaxy that is dominated by the light emitted by dust and gas as it falls back into a black hole. Among her research interests include variability studies of active galaxies, the morphologies of AGN and QSO host galaxies, multi-wavelength surveys of AGN, and evolution of low-luminosity AGN.聽
