Colloquium

Phillips 265 120 East Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, NC

Dr. Roberto Oliveri- Observatoire de Paris, Meudon   Asymptotic symmetries play a crucial role in gravity, particularly in understanding the behaviour of gravitational systems at large distances. The relevance of asymptotic symmetries has always been central in the quest for … Read more

Thesis Proposal

Phillips 200 120 E. Cameron Ave., Chapel Hill, NC, United States

Finite-Volume Methods in Hadron Spectroscopy with Lattice QCD and EFT One of the overarching goals in nuclear physics is to rigorously compute properties of hadronic systems directly from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Reliable calculations … Read more
