IDUB Visiting Professors at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy
The Faculty of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Wrocław will have the honour of hosting two eminent scholars at the end of June as part of the Visiting Professors programme, implemented by the Initiative for Excellence – Research University (IDUB). Both professors will give open lectures, to which the entire academic community and all those interested in science are cordially invited.
The first of the lectures, entitled Entropy – Measuring the Uncertainty, will be delivered by Professor Constantino Tsallis from the Brazilian Center for Physical Research in Rio de Janeiro. It will take place on 27 June 2025 at 13:30 in Rzewuski Hall (room 60) at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy, University of Wrocław, located at plac Maxa Borna 9. Professor Tsallis’s lecture will inaugurate the XLV Max Born Symposium entitled “Optics and its Applications”, organised as part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies. Please note that the event will begin with a brief opening of the symposium at 13:00.
The organisers kindly ask participants to take their seats before that time. Further information about the symposium is available at: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1521708.
On the following day, 28 June 2025 at 09:00, Professor Berndt Mueller from Duke University in Durham, USA, will give a lecture in the Oratorium Marianum of the University of Wrocław, located at plac Uniwersytecki 1. In his talk, entitled The Quark-Gluon Plasma Story: From Speculation to Search, Discovery and Surprises, Professor Mueller will analyse the research strategy and outcomes of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) programme – the first large-scale project dedicated to nuclear physics. He will discuss both the successes and the unexpected discoveries that emerged during the programme’s implementation, as well as explain how the approaches developed are being applied in the planning of the next landmark project: the Electron-Ion Collider.
