Visiting scholar to give physics lectures

The Norman Hascoe Distinguished Lecture in Physics on March 23 will be given by Professor Manuel de Llano of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, who will be spending his sabbatical at UConn through February 2010.

de Llano is known for his work in theoretical many-body physics. His interests include nuclear, condensed matter, cluster, and nano-physics.

The title of his Hascoe lecture, the first of five lectures he will deliver in the coming weeks, is “Generalized Bose-Einstein Condensation and Superflow.”

The lecture will take place at 4 p.m. in the Gant Science Complex, Room P38, with refreshments at 5 p.m.

He will also lecture on March 24 at 4 p.m. in the Gant Science Complex, Room P121, on “Superconductors and Neutral-Fermion Superfluids: An Introduction.”

That lecture, and special lectures in P121 at 4 p.m. on March 31, April 7, 14, and 21, are supported by a Visiting Scholar grant from the UConn Research Foundation.
