Location:
McDermott Library Auditorium (MC 2.410)

The public is invited to attend this free lecture.
The Polykarp Kusch Lecture Series: Concerns of the Lively Mind 2009
Lecturer: Dr. John Hoffman, UT Dallas professor of physics
Date: Monday, April 13, 2009
Location: McDermott Library Auditorium (MC 2.410)
Parking: The UT Dallas campus is undergoing a significant amount of transformative construction. Guests are advised to visit our campus map for updated route, construction, and parking information (see: http://www.utdallas.edu/map/).
Lecture preview: Dr. Hoffman’s instruments have helped unpack the mysteries of our solar system from three Apollo missions to the moon, to the Pioneer Mission to Venus in 1978, to the landmark Phoenix Mission to Mars in 2008.
His spectrometer helped explore Haley’s Comet in 1986, and his experiments still revolve around the earth on a handful of orbiting satellites. The recent Phoenix Mars Mission--where the presence of water was definitively determined--depended heavily on a system of small furnaces and a mass spectrometer system he designed.
