One of the world’s leading theoretical physicists, Dr. Lisa Randall studies some of modern physics’ most basic questions. What is matter and the universe made of? What is the fundamental nature of space and time? In this lecture, Dr. Randall will describe the state of particle physics today and introduce some of her groundbreaking work. Exploring the properties of matter, the intricacies and implications of dimensions beyond the three we can presently observe, Dr. Randall challenges the limits of what is known and what is knowable. This Harvard professor is one of the most cited and influential physicists working in theoretical particle physics today. She is also a vocal advocate for the importance of scientific literacy in modern society and the author of several notable books explaining scientific ideas to the public.
