Our Roth Distinguished Scholar in residence this year, Sylvester James Gates, will talk about his life story and do a fun Q&A with students.

Professor Gates is an internationally recognized theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Maryland, College. His research interest spans theoretical physics, mathematics, and even coding and cryptography theories. (He visited Dartmouth last year as the keynote speaker at Dartmouth’s annual E.E. Just Symposium. In his address, Gates offered a nontechnical introduction to the subject of gravitation waves, phenomena first theorized by Einstein as being ripples in space-time that might be traced back to the Big Bang, and recently experimentally detected by LIGO.)
