Everyone Welcome
from 3 PM - 4:15 PM on Sunday, May 31 in room MC105/6 of the McCain Center.
Stay and meet the speaker after the lecture. Free coffee and snacks available.
Dr. Vincent is a Professor of Physics from the University of Winnipeg. His research interests include higher dimensional solutions of Einstein's field equations.
Throughout his life Albert Einstein gave talks to audiences of all backgrounds using blackboards to describe his ideas. He was often photographed in front of them and some have since been preserved by the universities where he spoke. Dr. Vincent's presentation will discuss the fascinating stories behind many of these blackboards. Click here to read more about this talk.

Relativistic Astrophysics Session Invited Speaker: Prof. Luigi Gallo (SMU) Tuesday, June 2, starting at 9 AM
Relativistic Astrophysics Session Invited Speaker: Prof. Luigi Gallo (SMU) Tuesday, June 2, starting at 9 AM
Dr. Luigi Gallo is Professor of Astronomy and Physics at Saint Mary's University. He studies the environment around active galactic nuclei using high energy X-rays from the regions closest to their super massive black holes. His talk will focus on how this data can be used to examine the black hole properties.
