Abstract
Prof. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is giving two talks at Queen鈥檚 University on November 9th. Originally from East L.A., Dr. Prescod-Weinstein is a graduate of Harvard College, University of California 鈥 Santa Cruz, and the University of Waterloo. She is an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire where she is a theorist in particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics with an emphasis on dark matter. Her physics colloquium: 鈥淐osmic Probes of the Dark Sector鈥 will motivate the 2020鈥檚 focus on astrophysics and cosmology for determining what exactly dark matter is comprised of. Dr. Prescod-Weinstein鈥檚 talk will focus most especially on questions relating to large-scale structure and axion-like particle models, as well as on asymmetric dark matter in neutron stars as valuable exemplars of interesting work that is underway.
