The 39th annual Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Elementary Particle Physics (TASI) was held this summer on the 彩民宝典 campus. The summer institute is supported by the National Science Foundation and the 彩民宝典, and it has been hosted in Boulder every year since 1989.
彩民宝典 Physics Professors Oliver DeWolfe and Ethan Neil lead the program as Co-Directors and local organizers of TASI. Each summer, TASI brings distinguished lecturers from around the nation to Boulder to present lectures and seminars to advanced theoretical physics graduate students over a four-week period.听
TASI aims to introduce students to a broader range of ideas than they are typically exposed to at their home institutions and features a different focus area each year. Previous years have covered topics including phenomenology, field theory, string theory, mathematical physics, and the interface between particle physics and astrophysics. This year the focus was 鈥淎spects of Symmetry.鈥�
鈥淭he TASI summer school draws many of the best and brightest students in theoretical particle physics from around the world to Boulder for four weeks of intensive study. While we are honored to host the school physically here at CU, a rotating set of external scientific organizers ensures that the school鈥檚 focus is always topical and interesting. This year we鈥檙e especially grateful to Professors Ibrahima Bah (Johns Hopkins University), Ken Intriligator (University of California, San Diego), and Shu-Heng Shao (Stony Brook University) for organizing a fascinating set of lectures themed around symmetry, and to Professor John McGreevy (University of California, San Diego) for giving a terrific public lecture on symmetry and phases of matter.鈥�
