Dr. Derek Thuecks, faculty candidate, is on campus this week. He will give a teaching presentation today, Monday, January 13th, at 3:10 pm (6a) in Olin 04. His talk will center on interacting objects and Newton’s Third Law. Please come join the discussion!
Dr. Thuecks will also be presenting a research talk on Tuesday, January 14th during common time (12:00) in Olin 04, during which lunch will be provided. His talk is titled: Laboratory Plasma Astrophysics: Bringing Space Physics Down to Earth. After his presentation, coffee and cookies will be served in the 2nd Olin lounge so that students can meet Derek, discuss the presentation, or ask any questions about his research or candidacy.
The Physics Department strongly encourages all faculty, staff, and students to attend these talks. We’ll ultimately choose one of these candidates to become a tenure-track faculty member, who will then help shape the department and curriculum for years to come.
