📚 Lecture: “Neutrinos and the Deep Cosmos: The Telescope Made of Ice”

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Grant Kendrick Parker

Join us for a fascinating evening with Dr. Grant Kendrick Parker as we explore the innovative world of astrophysics and particle detection. For centuries, telescopes have helped us peer into the cosmos, but to unlock the universe's most chaotic and energetic events, we need fresh ideas and cutting-edge technology.

In this engaging lecture, Dr. Parker will introduce the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a groundbreaking facility that transforms ice at the South Pole into a powerful particle detector. Discover how this unique design captures elusive particles to create images of the most exotic cosmic objects. Dr. Parker will share insights into the observatory's construction history, the physics behind its operations, and the impressive scientific achievements of IceCube over the past 14 years.

Dr. Grant Kendrick Parker is a particle physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, focusing on some of physics' most profound mysteries. His award-winning research includes limits on new physics and studies of matter-antimatter asymmetry, along with the development of machine learning tools for particle detection.

Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into the cosmos with the brilliant Dr. Grant Kendrick Parker!
