On March 17, 2014, a team of astrophysicists announced the physics of what happened in the first one trillionth, of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the so-called Big Bang. The American team — also known as BICEP2 — announced these findings of what the science community calls the detection of primordial
The Office of Undergraduate Research’s annual, campus-wide Chapman University Student Research Day is almost here! On Wednesday, May 14, 2014 the breadth and depth of Chapman students’ scholarly and creative work will be on display. Schmid College students submitted 98 abstracts for this year’s Student Research Day. That is more than all other colleges combined. A total
Two freshmen in the School of Computational Sciences, Sakthisundar “Sakthi” Kasthurirengan and Kathleen “Katie” Lamkin successfully presented their work at this year’s Python Conference (PyCon 2014) in Montreal, Canada. The annual PyCon conferences are the largest and most prestigious within the Python software community. The work they presented was an offshoot of their class project
Chapman University and Saddleback College have joined forces in an effort to create more graduates in the sciences. In a formal transfer admission guarantee (TAG) agreement signed by the two schools today, the partnership aligns Saddleback College’s science programs with Chapman’s Schmid College of Science and Technology majors and Crean College of Health and
Elizabeth Berrigan is one of Chapman’s shining stars. Starting this fall she’ll be aiming for a Ph.D. in theoretical physics at State University of New York at Stony Brook. She obtained her first degree from Chapman last May in biochemistry, and her second Chapman degree last December in physics. This semester, she is completing research at MIT and in January,
Paul Davies , renowned theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist and best-selling author, will speak at Chapman University Monday, April 28, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. at the Wallace All Faiths Chapel . This promises to be a fascinating evening exploring some of the biggest questions about our universe. Davies’ lecture has been designed for the general

Chapman University’s Student Research Day (CUSRD) is a truly exciting day to learn about, explore and appreciate the efforts that students and faculty have put into a wide variety of research and creative projects across the campus. All Chapman University undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to participate in this research day. Faculty,
François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist, and Distinguished Visiting Professor in Residence and founding member of the Institute for Quantum Studies at Chapman University in California, has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of the Higgs Boson particle, which has helped the world’s physicists solve some of the deepest mysteries of
We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. François Englert (currently affiliated with the Institute for Quantum Studies ) has received the Citation Laureate title from Thomson Reuters. Citation Laureates are researchers who are selected, through quantitative analysis , as those most likely to receive a Nobel Prize. Englert’s research revolves around statistical physics,
