Ford/MIT Nobel Laureate Lecture Series
"The Black Hole at the Center of Our Galaxy"
Charles H. Townes (1964 Nobel Prize Laureate for Physics)
TONIGHT
Monday, April 23, 2001
7:00 PM
Huntington Hall (Room 10-250)
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
http://web.mit.edu/nobel-lectures/
Sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. In cooperation with the MIT Lecture
Series Committee, Community Services Office, and the Office of the
Chancellor.
Charles H. Townes
Dr. Townes received the Nobel Prize in 1964 "for fundamental work in
quantum electronics which has led to the construction of oscillators and
amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle." The maser (microwave
amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) works on the same
principle as a laser and emits coherent microwave radiation. Dr. Townes,
former MIT provost and Institute Professor, is presently a professor
engaged in astrophysics research at the University of California at
Berkeley. He is known for research involving the interaction of
electromagnetic waves and matter, and also as a teacher and government
advisor.
