7th Annual R. Jack and Forest Lynn Biard Cosmology and Astrophysics Lecture

Galaxies are complex systems of stars, gas, and dark matter. These three major components interact in many different ways, leading galaxies to have the structure and motions we see today. Read More...

Science Sundays
"Building the Cosmos: How Simulations Shed Light On the Dark Universe"

• Risa Wechsler
  


• Sunday Nov 17, 2013
  Time and Location TBA

Recent advances in observations of the cosmos have allowed us to peer into the earliest moments of our Universe, and have dramatically changed our picture of its contents. Wechsler will walk you through how cutting-edge simulations allow us to be a fly on the wall during the formation of the cosmos, and shed light on the physical processes that created the Universe we see today.

Risa Wechsler is an associate professor in the Physics Department at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and a member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology. She studies the evolution and contents of the Universe from its earliest moments to the present, and is playing a leading role in several initiatives to map out billions of galaxies and determine what they can teach us about the dark matter and dark energy that dominate our Universe.

Annual Biard Lectures

CCAPP is proud to present the Annual R. Jack and Forest Lynn Biard Cosmology and Astrophysics Lecture, the annual series of public lectures which is supported by a generous gift from Captain Forrest R. Biard, U.S. Navy, Ret., a 1953 MS recipient from the Ohio State University. The Biard Lecture will form the cornerstone of CCAPP's outreach effort, bringing forefront research in cosmology and astrophysics to OSU's undergraduates, the University community, and the general public.
