Directed Student Presentations and Achievements

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.

 

Students conducting research side-by-side with faculty has been an Alma College legacy for generations. Alma students team up with faculty on scholarly research or to collaborate on creative or performing arts projects. An annual Honors Day features student presentations, performances and exhibits. Many students present such work at regional, national and international meetings.
