Hear about the undergraduate research done with Dr. Meyer!

When: Friday 11/21 from 12-1p

Where: Physics Building Room 401

------------------------------------

The UMBC Society of Physics of Students will be hosting a talk with Dr. Eileen Meyer to discuss the undergraduate research done in her group here on campus!

Dr. Meyer works to understand the physics and impact of the relativistic jets associated with the most massive black holes. She has won over 400 hours on flagship observatories, and the Meyer/Georganopoulos research group has been well-supported in recent years with over $1.7M in funding from NASA and the NSF ($3.4M lifetime total). Dr Meyer's group regularly collaborates with local scientists at NASA and STScI, as well as others at top Universities around the world.

In addition to her core research area in extragalactic jets and black holes, Dr. Meyer is also interested in developing optical polarimetry instruments for use on small ground-based telescopes like the UMBC Observatory. Her group has developed several prototypes with the goal of extremely sensitive circular and linear polarization measurements of astrophysical sources at the parts-per-million level.

Feel free to come by and ask any questions about undergraduate research that you may have (and grab some Dunkin coffee and munchkins while they last!)
