DAVIS - Public Lecture: Space-Time, Quantum Mechanics and The Large Hadron Collider Time: 7:30 p.m. in the ARC Ballroom at UC Davis.
Nima Arkani-Hamed of the Institute for Advanced Studies - Princeton, will give a free public lecture followed by a reception. Arkani-Hamed first gained renown as a young post-doctoral fellow for his seminal work on extra dimensions. He joined Harvard's faculty in the fall of 2002. Arkani-Hamed has appeared on various television programs discussing space, time and dimensions and the current state of theoretical physics. In 2003 he won the Gribov Medal of the European Physical Society, and in the summer of 2005 while at Harvard he won the 'Phi Beta Kappa' award for teaching excellence. Arkani-Hamed won the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize given at Tel Aviv University to young scientists who have made outstanding and fundamental contributions in Physical Science in 2008. That same year he became a faculty member at the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein served from 1933 until 1955. Arkani-Hamed is widely regarded as the leading theoretical particle physicist in the world. In 2010 Arkani-Hamed gave the Messenger lectures at Cornell University, following in the footsteps of Richard Feynman.
STANFORD - Mingus Dynasty, Jazz Concert
Enjoy a concert that explores the work of jazz composer, bassist, and bandleader Charles Mingus, who lives on in the Mingus Dynasty--a septet drawing its members from the cream of the New York jazz scene, and the first of three Mingus repertory bands founded and directed by the late jazz legend's widow, Sue Mingus. As opposed to its larger-scale sister ensembles the Mingus Dynasty employs its smaller format to focus on individual solo expression and experimentation within Mingus's compositions. The result is a testament to both the enduring power and the limitless potential within Mingus' body of work. Time: 8 p.m. 4.20–37.80. Address: Dinkelspiel Auditorium, 450 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA. 725-2787. livelyarts.stanford.edu
