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
From the Chapman University Press Room: Chapman University and Saddleback College have joined forces in an effort to create more graduates in the sciences. In a formal agreement to be signed by the two schools on April 21, the partnership aligns Saddleback College’s science programs with Chapman’s Schmid College of Science and Technology
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,
Dr. Colin Cunliff of the Quantum Gravity Group at University of California, Davis to speak on campus about Massive Gravity. Recent years have seen a surge of interest in theories of massive gravity. These models extend Einstein’s theory of General Relativity by giving mass to the graviton, the particle which carries the gravitational force, and
Dr. Roman Buniy, Assistant Professor of Physics and Computational Science, presented his latest paper “An Algebraic Classification of Entangled States” at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge. Abstract: We provide a classification of entangled states that uses new discrete entanglement invariants. The invariants are defined by algebraic properties of linear maps
Drs. Roman Buniy and Eric Minassian took several Physics students to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena May 29. Students were able to tour the laboratories and control rooms where the Mars Lander “Curiosity” was developed and launched. They were also granted access to several prototype and replica robots, which are used for mission control for the Curiosity. The
