Dear Colleagues,<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"> <br>
<font color="#3333ff">This is a friendly reminder to join us
next Thursday for the George J. Losoncy Lecture in Physics
and Astronomy.<br>
</font><br>
This year's 7th Annual George J. Losoncy Lecture in Physics and
Astronomy will take place Thursday March 29th, <br>
from 4:30-5:30PM in Perkins Auditorium. <br>
<br>
We are pleased to have Dr. Daniel Pitonyak, Post Doctoral
Research Associate in Physics, from Penn State Berks <br>
and Old Dominion University to give the 7th Annual talk which is
entitled, “Stranger Things: The World of Subatomic Particles”. <br>
<br>
As in past years, we begin with a reception at 4:00pm in the
Freyberger Art Gallery.<br>

<br>
<b>Background:</b><br>
<br>
Daniel carries out research in theoretical sub-atomic nuclear
particle physics and Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD)—the theory of
quark and gluon <br>
interactions that govern the sub-structure of proton and the
neutron (nucleons) and particles whose behavior is governed by
the strong QCD forces. <br>
He has identified some critical methods and measurements to
investigate the quark and gluon sub-structure of nucleons which
have contributed to <br>
addressing some long-standing puzzles predicted by QCD theory. <br>
<br>
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 <br>
Transverse Momentum Dependent Hadron Structure in QCD (TMD
Collaboration)". Participating institutions are: Penn State
Berks, Duke University, <br>
Jefferson Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National
Laboratory, MIT, <br>
New Mexico State University, Old Dominion University, Temple
University, University of Arizona, University of Kentucky,
University of Maryland, <br>
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 <br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
In 2015 he was the recipient of the Ph.D Dissertation Award in
Hadronic Physics from theAmerican Physical Society Topical Group
on Hadron Physics. <br>
This award recognizes outstanding young scientists who have
performed original research in the area of hadronic physics and
is awarded biennially. <br>
<br>
Thank you, Leonard and Alexei <i>for the George J. Losoncy
Lecture Series in Physics and Astronomy<br>
