Join us on a scientific quest to unravel the origin of the elements!
Where did the elements that make up our world come from?
What are basic properties of matter when compressed to high density?
The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) is a NSF Physics Frontiers Center that addresses these fundamental questions about the cosmos. JINA-CEE researchers will deliver an online lecture series on introductory nuclear astrophysics to participating colleges and universities across the United States. The content of these lectures is structured at the undergraduate physics level, and will introduce students to frontier research in nuclear astrophysics.
The lectures will also contain information about graduate studies and REU opportunities at JINA-CEE participating institutions, and other career relevant information.
Registration is free and required in order to obtain the zoom link for the lectures.
Students: please make sure to fill out the Entry Survey for Students prior to attending this lecture series.

Jinmi Yoon: Galactic archaeology: an astrophysical approach to understanding the formation and evolution of the elements
Jinmi Yoon: Galactic archaeology: an astrophysical approach to understanding the formation and evolution of the elements
University of Notre Dame
Jinmi is a JINA-CEE postdoctoral fellow at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. She is a galactic archaeologist who studies the stellar fossils of the first generation of stars (most metal-poor stars) in our Galaxy and its satellite galaxies. Her particular interests lie in understanding the first-star nucleosynthesis, the very early star-forming environment, and early galactic chemodynamical evolution.
