Upcoming Events

3:30 – 5 p.m., Oct. 10, 2024

OSC Colloquium: Paul Fulda, "The Future of Gravitational Wave Detection on Earth and in Space"

In this talk I will discuss the key science targets for Cosmic Explorer, and some of the technical challenges it faces. I will include a focus on the optical design of the 40km laser interferometers, which is currently underway as part of a multi-institute collaboration. I will also outline the LISA mission concept, highlighting University of Florida and University of Arizona's roles in validating a key NASA deliverable to the mission: the telescopes that send and receive laser light across the vast distance between the three spacecraft. As we look forward to the 2030's, we can also consider some of the exciting multi-wavelength gravitational wave science that can be done with both instruments operating in concert.

12 p.m. – 1 p.m., Oct. 11, 2024

Meet Your Wyant College of Optical Sciences Faculty Innovation Ambassador, Professor Hong Hua

3:30 – 5 p.m., Oct. 17, 2024

OSC Colloquium: Stephan Schlamminger, "The Vexing Quest to Pin Down the Gravitational Constant"

In this talk, we will explore the fascinating history of attempts to pin down G, from early breakthroughs to the most sophisticated experiments of the past three decades. While these modern efforts have yet to deliver a definitive answer, they have produced innovative techniques that push the boundaries of precision measurement—methods that are as ingenious as they are instructive. Join me as we delve into the vexing journey of measuring G and uncover the scientific creativity behind this ongoing challenge.
