T-Dual Systems in String Theory

More Details:

Work by rising sophomore Emma Patmore as part of the PRISM program (presented on campus). Emma learned the basic concepts of string theory (and many underlying physical concepts) and the syntax of the Mathematica computer algebra system. Building on earlier work by Alex Lundquist, she expanded his Mathematica code for generating T-duality transformations in string theory and applied it to find previously unknown dual systems.

 

Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

Graduation: 2013
Major: Art and Design

With just the click of a mouse and the press of a key, Meghan Kelly is creating digital designs that both inspire and delight.

The Muskegon senior is an art and design major who is studying graphic design, so she can explore her interest in computer-based, artistic creations.

Kelly’s inspiration isn’t always drawn from cyberspace, though.
