    UCHICAGOOPPORTUNITIES UChicago Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math UChicago Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (UCISTEM) helps students explore, prepare for, and obtain careers or professional school placement in these fields. Students of any major may join UCISTEM, where they have the opportunity to participate in an elective workshop curriculum, in addition to experiential learning options such as research assistantships, internships, externships, and innovation competitions. Opportunities for mentorship, alumni networking, and one-on-one advising are readily available as well. UCISTEM students have gone on to successful careers in a variety of fields, including alternative energy, biotechnology, entrepreneurship, and national laboratory research. Engineering at UChicago UChicago students have the opportunity to engage in engineering through internships, research opportunities, and academic coursework with leading scholars. The University’s Institute for Molecular Engineering is pioneering new undergraduate opportunities in molecular engineering, an emerging field that uses the advances of physics, biology, chemistry, and computation to develop new technologies that can address some of society’s most challenging problems. Students will be trained in a new approach to engineering research and education that researchers anticipate will be applied to clinical medicine, energy supply, clean water production, and quantum computing. As the Advising Institute grows, the faculty plans to develop new coursework, giving students UCISTEM offers students the opportunity to meet with an unparalleled access to new developments and discoveries within engineering. adviser as many times as needed to discuss potential career and academic paths and to ensure students are obtaining skill sets and experiences to successfully pursue those paths. “We’re really trying to do something that transcends traditional Frequent advising topics include resume and application engineering disciplines.

  • VC 1978 1 5.Pdf
    Under Contract with the U.S. Department of Energy Vol. No. 1 January 5, 1978 CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT RESULTS About 9,150 birds of 60 species were spotted in the second annual Fermilab Christmas bird count. The count was conducted Saturday, Dec. 17, by the DuPage Audubon Society. Held in con­ junction with the national Audubon Society's 78th annual census nationwide, the local tally enlisted 43 volunteer observers, including two Fermilab people. They were: David Carey, Com- puting Department and Hannu Miettinen, Theory . b' d ... Ferm~ ~r -counters were L-R: J. Kumb, Department. R. Johnson, R. Hoger, D. Carey, B. Foster ... Starting at 4 a.m., observers logged 78 hours of bird-counting time. The birders were divided into 11 parties of 4 to 6 persons each; five persons monitored bird feeders during the count. Fermilab was the focal point of the count area: a circle with a radius of seven and one-half miles as far north as Wayne; south to Aurora; east to Winfield; and west to the Fox River Valley. Party-hours comprised 54 on foot, 24 by car and 22 at feeders. Of 425.5 party-miles covered, 367 were by auto and 58.5 on foot. Richard Hoger, staff assistant in the supply division at Argonne National Laboratory, coordinated the count activities. Paul Mooring was the compiler. The Fermilab area was among five Chicago areas where counts were made, Mooring said. Nationally, counters were at work from Dec. 17 to Jan. 2 on one-day counts. Observers were assigned to eight sub-areas in the Laboratory count circle.

    CHICAGO PHYSICS ONE 3:25 P.M. December 02, 1942 “All of us... knew that with the advent of the chain reaction, the world would never be the same again.” former UChicago physicist Samuel K. Allison Physics at the University of Chicago has a remarkable history. From Albert Michelson, appointed by our first president William Rainey Harper as the founding head of the physics department and subsequently the first American to win a Nobel Prize in the sciences, through the mid-20th century work led by Enrico Fermi, and onto the extraordinary work being done in the department today, the department has been a constant source of imagination, discovery, and scientific transformation. In both its research and its education at all levels, the Department of Physics instantiates the highest aspirations and values of the University of Chicago. Robert J. Zimmer President, University of Chicago Welcome to the inaugural issue of Chicago Physics! We are proud to present the first issue of Chicago Physics – an annual newsletter that we hope will keep you connected with the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago. This newsletter will introduce to you some of our students, postdocs and staff as well as new members of our faculty. We will share with you good news about successes and recognition and also convey the sad news about the passing of members of our community. You will learn about the ongoing research activities in the Department and about events that took place in the previous year. We hope that you will become involved in the upcoming events that will be announced.

  • The Dupont Company the Forgotten Producers of Plutonium
    The DuPont Company The Forgotten Producers of Plutonium Assembled by the “DuPont Story” Committee of the B Reactor Museum Association Ben Johnson, Richard Romanelli, Bert Pierard 2015 Revision 3 – March 2017 FOREWORD Like the world’s tidal waters, the study of our national story sometimes leads us into historical eddies, rich in human interest content, that have been bypassed by the waves of words of the larger accounting of events. Such is the case of the historical accounts of the Manhattan Project which tend to emphasize the triumphs of physicists, while engineering accomplishments, which were particularly important at the Hanford Site, have been brushed over and receive less recognition. The scientific possibility of devising a weapon based on using the energy within the nucleus of the atom was known by physicists in both the United States and Germany before World War II began. After the start of hostilities, these physicists were directed by their respective governments to begin development of atomic bombs. The success of the American program, compared with the German program, was due largely to the extensive involvement in the U.S. Manhattan Project of large and experienced engineering firms whose staff worked with the physicists. The result was the successful production of weapons materials, in an amazingly short time considering the complexity of the program, which helped end World War II. One view which effectively explains these two markedly different historical assessments of accomplishments, at least for Hanford, is noted in the literature with this quote. - "To my way of thinking it was one of the greatest interdisciplinary efforts ever mounted.

Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. BRUCE daRRELL WINSTEIN September 25, 1943–February 28, 2011 Elected to the NAS, 1995 Bruce D. Winstein began his career as an experimental high-energy physicist and became renowned for making the most precise measurements of CP (“charge parity”) violation in the neutral K meson system. His results illu- minated the tiny asymmetry between matter and anti- matter that is essential for the existence of matter in the universe. He was associated with the University of Chicago from 1972 until his death in 2011, first as a senior research associate and finally as the Samuel K. Allison Distinguished Service Professor. Late in his career Winstein became a cosmologist, focusing on the polar- ization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Bringing to cosmology the techniques from By Melvyn J. Shochet high-energy physics, he made highly accurate measure- and Michael S. Turner ments of CMB polarization. Winstein was also instru- mental in establishing the Kavli Institute for Cosmo- logical Physics at the University of Chicago. Outside of physics, he was an avid fan of avant-garde film, twice teaching a course on the films of Michelangelo Antonioni. Early years Bruce was born in Los Angeles, CA, to Saul and Sylvia Winstein. His father was a distinguished physical organic chemist, elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1955 and a faculty member at UCLA from 1941 until his death in 1969.
