Physics Colloquia and Voltian Lectures
|
PHYSICS COLLOQUIA AND SEMINARS, VOLTIAN LECTURE Physics Colloquia and Seminars are held usually on Thursdays afternoon at 16 pm in Room A102-Aula Giulotto during the Fall and Spring semesters, unless otherwise announced. The Physics Colloquia host distinguished guest speakers who highlight the forefront of ongoing research in Physics and in related fields with a one-hour presentation addressed to a general audience. This provides an excellent opportunity for the graduate students to get a feeling of different research areas in physics and related fields, to sample the various research opportunities for future jobs and to talk directly with leading scientists. The Physics Seminars are similar to the Colloquia, but they may deal with more focused subjects and can be somewhat more specialized. Attendance of the Colloquia is compulsory for all graduate students. Attendance to the Seminars is encouraged for everybody, and is compulsory for graduate students of the corresponding area/curriculum. The Voltian Lecture is an annual event named after the renowned Italian scientist, professor of experimental Physics at the University of Pavia during the last quarter of the eighteenth century. It is often the inaugural event of the series of Physics Colloquia for each academic year, and it represent an important part of the Graduate School's public events programme. It is also meant to create a wider awareness of the outcome and benefits of our research. The Voltian Lecture is awarded to a career scientist whose work has made a major contribution in Physics. The nominated scientist will present a distinguished lecture and will be awarded a commemorative silver medal. 2017/2018 VOLTIAN LECTURE: 26 October 2017 - Prof. Eugenio Coccia (Gran Sasso Science Institute): Opening the gravitational wave window to the Universe COLLOQUIA 2016/2017 May 23, 2017 ................
