Radio Physics

On this month's Radio Physics show, summer intern Colby Vanderaa speaks with physicist Gil Refael.

Natalia Perkins is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Minnesota.

Tracy Slatyer is a professor of particle physics with a concentration in theoretical astrophysics with tenure at MIT.Her research is motivated by questions of fundamental particle physics — in particular, the nature and interactionsof dark matter — and she seeks answers to these questions by studying possible signatures of new physics inastrophysical and cosmological data. She was a co-discoverer of the giant gamma-ray structures known as the“Fermi Bubbles” erupting from the center of the Milky Way.

Chiara Toldo, research fellow of Harvard University with Audrey Woodrow.

Joaquin Rodriguez Nieva is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Texas A&M University. He received his PhD from MIT, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University as well as Stanford University. His research is in quantum physics, quantum matter, and statistical physics. He studies emergent phenomena in complex systems. More specifically, his research involves developing theoretical frameworks at the interface between non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum information that can be used to describe, understand and, ultimately, control novel dynamical behaviors.
