The lecture is free and open to the public.<br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colafranceschi will speak on \u201cA Journey through Engineering and Physics: Trying to Recreate Primordial Universe Conditions.\u201d Without getting too technical on quantum physics, Colafranceschi will explain how modern technologies can be used to \u201crecreate\u201d the conditions of the universe that occurred a few billionths of a second after the Big Bang. Colafranceschi, who by self-profession is \u201cinspired by exploring the nature of the Universe,\u201dcontributed to a number of projects towards creating these obscure conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colafranceschi became a member of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 2006 and has worked on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Experiment. He joined EMU\u2019s faculty last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next seminar is on cardiology, to be given by Brian L. Stauffer, MD, on Wednesday, Feb. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seminars are made possible by the sponsorship of the<a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/science-seminars\/daniel-b-suter-endowment\"> Daniel B. Suter Endowment in Biology<\/a> and the co-sponsorship of supporting programs. Named in honor of long-time EMU biology professor, Daniel B. Suter (1920-2006), the Endowment in Biology was established in 1986 through the generous donations of alumni and friends and currently consists of over $1 million of invested funds. EMU hopes to double the Suter Endowment in order to more adequately support distinguished faculty and to increase scholarship aid to deserving students. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stefano Colafranceschi, PhD, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), will give a Suter Science Seminar on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 4 p.m. in room <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2020\/computer-science-and-engineering-prof-to-speak-on-the-primordial-universe\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Computer science and engineering prof to speak on the primordial universe<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40675,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5590,5592,13808,17364,5642,5598,7682],"tags":[17687],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-44567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-biology","category-chemistry","category-computer-science","category-engineering","category-faculty-and-staff","category-mathematical-sciences","category-suter-science-seminar","tag-stefano-colafranceschi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
