I share fond memories of my former PhD advisor Alexei Starobinsky with whom I was closely associated for nearly 45 years. I reflect upon my early years in Moscow when I worked with him on my thesis, and touch upon the seminal work on…
This is a written version of a series of lectures aimed at undergraduate students in astrophysics/particle theory/particle experiment. We summarize the important progress made in recent years towards understanding high energy astrophysical…
A second workshop on small x physics, within the Small x Collaboration, was held in Lund in June 2002 with the aim of over-viewing recent theoretical progress in this area and summarizing the experimental status. This paper is dedicated to…
Richard A. Mathies is professor emeritus of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. In this contribution he summarizes his journey through microfluidics over the past 30 years from the invention of Capillary Array…
Higher educational institutions continuously look for ways to improve the quality of their eLearning services and adapt learning solutions to suit the needs of the institution. During the 2016 Fall Semester, a university located in the…
On June 2, 2012 it would have been the eighty fifth birthday of Edwald Abramovitch Zavadskii (1927-2005), corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences, brilliant experimental physicist and a person with a very uncommon and…
These brief remarks have been prepared in connection with a conference in honor of my thesis advisor, Richard Rochberg.
Kenneth G. Wilson made deep and insightful contributions to statistical physics, particle physics, and related fields. He was also a helpful and thoughtful human being.
Shoutir Kishore Chatterjee was born in Ranchi, a small hill station in India, on November 6, 1934. He received his B.Sc. in statistics from the Presidency College, Calcutta, in 1954, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in statistics from the…
We present the site quality of the Zadko Observatory, focusing on the brightness of the sky and the effects of the weather on the efficiency of the Observatory. We discuss these effects and their consequences for the scientific goals of the…
George Whitesides is a Woodford L. and Ann A. Flowers Professor at Harvard University. In this contribution he describes the development of microfluidic techniques, from the spark that ignited this branch of academic research and its…
A short biographical note on the life and works of K. Ramachandra, one of the leading mathematicians in the field of analytic number theory in the second half of the twentieth century.
This is a homage to the memory of Prof. Steven Weinberg who passed away on 23 July 2021.
The mathematical achievements of Harry Kesten since the mid-1950s have revolutionized probability theory as a subject in its own right and in its associations with aspects of algebra, analysis, geometry, and statistical physics. Through his…
We discuss the scientific contributions of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, his opinions and his legacy.
On August 4 this year, Tsung-Dao Lee, a renowned theoretical physicist of Chinese origin, passed away at the age of 97. His most famous discovery dates back to 1956, when -- together with Chen-Ning Yang -- he postulated that parity symmetry…
The education system for students in physics suffers (worldwide) from the absence of a deep course in probability and randomness. This is the real problem for students interested in quantum information theory, quantum optics, and quantum…
The role of the Raychaudhuri equation in studying gravitational collapse is discussed. A self-similar distribution of a scalar field along with an imperfect fluid in a conformally flat spacetime is considered for the purpose. The general…
In the spirit of the International Year of Physics 2005 the author advices the replacement of the teaching methods based on verbal explanations and to perform a number of tasks following a given recipe by procedures that actively involve…
This is a mainly expository article honoring my recently deceased friend and collaborator Krzysztof Galicki who died after a tragic hiking accident. I give a review of our recent work in Sasakian geometry. A few new results are also…
