Featured Speakers:
Dr. Scott Tremaine |
|
Scott Duncan Tremaine (born 1950) is a Canadian-born astrophysicist. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of London, the Royal Society of Canada and the National Academy of Sciences. Tremaine is widely regarded as one of the world's leading astrophysicists for his contributions to the theory of solar system and galactic dynamics. Tremaine is the namesake of asteroid 3806 Tremaine. He is credited with coining the name "Kuiper belt". He obtained a bachelor's degree at McMaster University in 1971, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1975. He further received an honorary Ph.D. from McMaster University in 1996. He became the first director of the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Toronto in 1986, a position held until 1996. He gained the rare distinction of "University Professor" at the University of Toronto in 1995. In 1997, he left CITA and took up a position as a professor at Princeton University. Scott Tremaine is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and chair of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, a position he has held since 1998. He has been married to Prof. Marilyn Mantei Tremaine for more than a decade, an expert in human-computer interaction who is emeritus head of the SIGCHI section of the Association of Computing Machinery. |
His talk will be on "The astronomical evidence for black holes in the center of galaxies". |
Dr. Juan Maldacena |
| Juan Martin Maldacena (born September 10, 1968) is a theoretical physicist born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Among his many discoveries, the most famous one is the most reliable realization of the holographic principle- namely the AdS/CFT correspondence, the successfully tested conjecture about the equivalence of string theory or supergravity on Anti de Sitter (AdS) space, and a conformal field theory defined on the boundary of the AdS space. Maldacena obtained his bachelor's degree in 1991 at the Instituto Balseiro from the Universdad Nacional de Cuyo, Bariloche, Argetina, under the supervisor of G. Aldazabal. He then obtained his Ph.D. at Princeton University under the supervision of Curtis Callan in 1996 and went on to a post-doctoral position at Rugters University. In 1997, he joined Harvard University as associate professor, being quickly promoted to Professor of Physics in 1999. Since 2001, he has been professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. |
His talk will be on "Black holes and the structure of space-time" |
