• Chemistry/Engineering Seminar

    This week’s chemistry visitor is Cari Dutcher from the U of MN Mechanical Engineering Department.  She is really a Chemical Engineer by training, but works in the world of aerosols, which is itinerant and moves to different departments at different institutions.  Of mention, 2 things:

    1) Seminar info is here: http://apps.carleton.edu/curricular/chem/events/?event_id=1179442&date=2014-10-31

    2) It’s possible to have a 30-minute session for her to talk with engineering-interested students–if interested, email mbaylor@carleton.edu.

  • Student Research Presentations

    This week, we finish the series of presentations by students who did campus research, an off-campus REU, or another project over the summer of 2014.  They will be held in Olin 04 during 6a on Wednesday (3:10-4:20) and during common time on Thursday (Noon-1pm). 

    Wednesday speakers:  Shail Mehta  “A Metallicity Analysis of Spiral Galaxies in the Local Group”, Carolyn Raithel “Characterization of the Unusual Emission of Pulsar J0901-4624 using data from the Parkes, Australia 64 meter Radio Telescope” and Brian Charous “Searching for Higher Order Cladding Modes in Fiber Optic Based Optical Levers”

    Thursday speakers:  Ben Levy  “TBD” and Bibek Pokharel  “Progress Towards Controlling Quantum Chaos”

    Come support your fellow students, learn about cool stuff they did, and find out how YOU can do the same!  We’ll have a light lunch for the Thursday presentations.
