The Research Symposium "From Atoms to Astronomy," hosted by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), celebrates the breadth and depth of Physics research spanning from the most fundamental building blocks of matter to the vast scales of the cosmos. This day-long event will feature examples of cutting-edge studies across condensed matter physics, bio-physics, particle/nuclear physics, and cosmology. From the quantum mechanical behaviors of atomic systems and nanoscale materials to experimental and theoretical explorations of high-energy particles, the symposium will highlight how insights into the microcosm inform our understanding of the macrocosm.
Distinguished symposium speakers will present on topics including next-generation materials for quantum computing, advances in controlling biological systems for diagnostics and therapeutic applications, and groundbreaking studies of dark matter and the dynamic evolution of galaxies. The symposium will also explore the intersections of computational physics, data science, and advanced instrumentation. By fostering dialogue with experts from diverse yet interconnected fields, this Research Symposium, "From Atoms to Astronomy," will celebrate the scholarship of the UIC Community while igniting excitement for research and education in the physical sciences.
