The Hive is the College of Arts & Sciences' newly unified team of both creative and technical services. This provides A&S with support for web and print media projects, public relations, and computing and informational services. This podcast is an interview with Ben Dustin, who works for the A&S Help Desk within the Hive.
The University of Kentucky has one of the most distinguished Classics programs in the world, and the UK Institute for Latin Studies (Graduate Certificate Curriculum) is now celebrating its tenth year.
Sen. Rand Paul will deliver a public talk March 2 at the University of Kentucky, titled "A Year in the Senate: Discussion and Reflections."
The University of Kentucky celebrates Founders Day with a recognition of faculty achievements Wednesday, Feb. 22. Recipients of numerous awards will be honored in a special ceremony at 4 p.m. in Worsham Theater in the UK Student Center. The event is open to the campus community and public.
UK President Eli Capilouto, Provost Kumble Subbaswamy, deans and department chairs from various colleges will present the awards, which include the following:
-- Public Scholar Award
-- Albert D. and Elizabeth Kirwan Memorial Award
Sponsored by: Latin American Studies, College of Communications & Information Studies, and University Libraries
Modeling Nanostructure Properties: Interpretation and Predictions from First-Principles.
Vincent Meunier, The Gail and Jeffrey L. Kodosky ’70 Constellation Professor of Physics, Information Technology, and Entrepreneurship
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
The unification of scalable mathematical algorithms, novel electronic structure methods, and advanced computing frameworks now enables the development of predictive tools for the discovery of novel phenomena and principles for the design of new molecular and nanoscale assemblies with breakthrough properties. The most visible consequence is that computational sciences can now substantially speed up the search for novel materials and devices, especially when theoretical work proceeds in parallel and in collaboration with strong experimental efforts. In this talk, I will present a number of examples of very successful collaborations between experiment and theory where the latter was key to interpret existing results or guide in devising experimental studies for the investigation of targeted property-relationship in reduced dimensionality systems.
Axion Dark Matter
The Mars they saw, and the Mars that really is.
When people looked at Mars through telescopes, before the space age, they thought they saw green forests, channels dug by people, huge mountains, and polar ice caps. They got some of this right, but a lot wrong. I will talk about the Mars people hoped to find, and the Mars we know today.
Tonight’s Kentucky SkyTalk is part of an ongoing series. These are presented by the UK Department of Physics and Astronomy, and the MacAdam Student Observatory. Held every 2nd Thursday of the month, they are always free and open to the public.
A collaboration between the GWS and English departments, as well as the African American and Africana Studies and American Studies programs will bring speakers to classes for the benefit of students.
