CCNY symposium April 23 to explore future of physics
Date:3/29/2010

Five prominent physicists from leading U.S. and European universities will explore the future of their discipline at "Frontiers in Physics," a daylong symposium presented by the Physics Department at The City College of New York (CCNY). The event, Friday, April 23, at The Harmonie Club in New York, will serve as the occasion for the conferral of an honorary doctorate on Sy Sternberg, '65 EE, former chairman and chief executive officer of New York Life Insurance Co.

The principal speakers, representing high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, quantum computing/quantum information, biophysics and astrophysics, will assess the state of their fields and near-term and mid-range prospects. "A seminar of this nature has never been done on the East Coast before," said Dr. V. Parameswaran Nair, professor and chair of physics at CCNY. The five featured speakers and their topics are:

  • Dr. David Gross, Nobel Laureate (Physics 2004), Frederick W. Gluck Professor of Theoretical Physics and Director, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of California Santa Barbara, "Frontiers of Particle Physics."

  • Dr. Andre Geim, Langworthy Professor of Physics and Director, Manchester Centre for Mesoscience and Nanotechnology, University of Manchester (United Kingdom), "Graphene: Magic of Flat Carbon."

  • Dr. Anton Zeilinger, Professor of Physics, University of Austria, and Scientific Director, Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, "Quantum Information and the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics."

  • Dr. P. Leslie Dutton, Eldridge Reeves Johnson Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Pennsylvania, and Director, Johnson Foundation for Molecular Biophysics, "Electron Tunneling in Biology."

  • Dr. Alan Guth, Victor F. Weisskopf Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "Inflationary Cosmology: Is Our Universe Part of a Mult
