TONIGHT’S TALK
Learn about the science that won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics in a special presentation brought to you by the Department of Physics at NCSU. This year’s Nobel Prize went to scientists who investigated capturing snapshots of electrons with lasers. We’ll hear from Dr. Kenan Gundogdu at NCSU who will share the background of these discoveries and why they’re so important to our understanding of quantum physics.

TONIGHT’S EXPERT
Dr. Kenan Gundogdu is a professor of physics at NC State University. His research group investigates quantum materials using ultrafast optics with a goal to identify materials useful in a wide array of devices, such as LEDs, displays, and solar conversion.
