Liberal Arts and Sciences Faculty Research Symposium: From Atoms to Astronomy

Date / Time

February 26, 2025

9:00 am - 6:00 pm

The research symposium From Atoms to Astronomy, hosted by the UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, celebrates the breadth and depth of physics research spanning 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, the symposium will highlight the scholarship of the UIC community while igniting excitement for research and education in the physical sciences.
