UPCOMING EVENTS

Physics Colloquium

Physics talks are presented on Zoom and sometimes in person.  For more information, please contact Assistant Professor Sriram Ganeshan, sganeshan@ccny.cuny.edu  For past and future events .

-------------------------

The Spring 2022 Physics Colloquium series has concluded. Occasional special events will be noted here.  Colloquiums will resume in the Fall 2022 semester. 

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

The National Science Foundation recently awarded the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group at CCNY a research grant of $744997 for three years. 

In this research project, Professors Franco, Nair, and Polychronakos will explore two fundamental concepts. The first of these is "entanglement". This refers to the surprising correlations between measurements carried out far from each other (sometimes referred to as "quantum weirdness” or "spooky action at a distance”). The second of these is the curvature of space and time, which is the source of gravitational forces according to Einstein’s theory of gravity. 

PHYSICS STUDENTS
