A Nobel pursuit

Connor Stone, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy has found himself in some exclusive company after being selected to take part in the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting from June 30-July 5, an event that brings together Nobel Laureates in physics as well as 580 post-secondary students from 89 countries.

Connor Stone, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy has found himself in some exclusive company after being selected to take part in the 69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting from June 30-July 5, an event that brings together Nobel Laureates in physics as well as 580 post-secondary students from 89 countries.

Stone specializes in galaxy physics and is the coordinator of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Observatory and says that he is honoured to have been given the opportunity to meet and speak with so many of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s top minds in physics.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I am really looking forward to talking to people who are in a field of physics completely different from mine and understanding the big problems that they are grappling with,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Stone says.

Helping him along the way was Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s own Nobel Laureate, Professor Emeritus Art McDonald, who forwarded Stone for consideration as part of the multi-tiered application process, while the facilitated the nomination.

Stone카지노 게임 컬렉션s breadth of interests and his strong physics and calculational ability led to his selection, explains Dr. McDonald.

The selection committee also looks for candidates who, after attending the Lindau Conference, will share what they have learned with their colleagues and the public once they return home.

Stone stood out in this regard. Along with his work at the observatory, he organizes a journals club for the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Astronomy, as well as a data science group focused upon machine learning and data visualization.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Since I do the observatory, the journals club, and the data visualization group, I will be able to take what I learn and the connections that I develop, and bring them back to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and share them with the public, the graduate students and the faculty because I am organizing connections with all of them,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I already like to connect people between different fields of physics so this is perfect for me.카지노 게임 컬렉션

At the Lindau Conference the young scientists have the opportunity to hear from the Nobel Laureates and there are activities and opportunities for the students to interact. For example, Stone will be taking part in a Science Walk guided by a Nobel Laureate that will tour sites of scientific relevance.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I think some of the more casual interactions will be the most important,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Stone adds. 카지노 게임 컬렉션These are the best people for me to network with, either at the top of their field or up and coming.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The Lindau Conference is an amazing opportunity for the attendees, says Dr. McDonald.

카지노 게임 컬렉션In my discussions with previous attendees they all said that the opportunity to hear from Nobel Laureates spanning all fields of physics, the chance to interact with them personally and the presence of nearly 600 excellent students from across the world, leads to a truly unique educational and personal experience,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Observatory

The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Observatory houses a 14-inch reflecting telescope in a dome on the roof of Ellis Hall, used primarily for student training and public demonstrations. A free public open house is held monthly.
