Dear Colleagues,

This is a friendly reminder to join us next Thursday for the  George J. 
Losoncy Lecture in Physics and Astronomy.

This year's 7th Annual George J. Losoncy Lecture in Physics and 
Astronomy will take place Thursday March 29th,
from 4:30-5:30PM in Perkins Auditorium.

We are pleased to have Dr. Daniel Pitonyak, Post Doctoral Research 
Associate in Physics, from Penn State Berks
and Old Dominion University to give the 7th Annual talk which is 
entitled, “Stranger Things: The World of Subatomic Particles”.

As in past years, we begin with a reception at 4:00pm in the Freyberger 
Art Gallery.



*Background:*

Daniel carries out research in theoretical sub-atomic nuclear particle 
physics and Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD)—the theory of quark and gluon
interactions that govern the sub-structure of proton and the neutron 
(nucleons) and particles whose behavior is governed by the strong QCD 
forces.
He has identified some critical methods and measurements to investigate 
the quark and gluon sub-structure of nucleons which have contributed to
addressing some long-standing puzzles predicted by QCD theory.

Daniel is a recipient of one of four Post Doctoral Research Awards as a 
part of a Topical Collaboration Grant entitled "Coordinated Theoretical 
Approach to
Transverse Momentum Dependent Hadron Structure in QCD (TMD 
Collaboration)".  Participating institutions are: Penn State Berks, Duke 
University,
Jefferson Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence 
Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, MIT,
New Mexico State University, Old Dominion University, Temple University, 
University of Arizona, University of Kentucky, University of Maryland,
University of Virginia. The umbrella grant runs for 5 years from 
2015-2020 and totals 2.25 million dollars to support research on the 
quark and
gluon structure of the nucleon. Daniel’s Award of $260,000 spans 3 
years, September 2016 – August 2019 to support his work on the Grant.

Daniel received his Ph.D from the Temple University in 2013. From 
2013-2016 he held a Post Doctoral Research position at Brookhaven 
National Lab.

In 2015 he was the recipient of  the Ph.D Dissertation Award in Hadronic 
Physics from theAmerican Physical Society Topical Group on Hadron Physics.
This award recognizes outstanding young scientists who have performed 
original research in the area of hadronic physics and is awarded 
biennially.

Thank you, Leonard and Alexei /for the George J. Losoncy Lecture Series 
in Physics and Astronomy
