Brief Description of Research: My research focuses on the fundamental of magnetic nanoparticles that have very uniform sizes, as well as possible applications in information storage and processing, and biomedicine. Monodisperse nanoparticles are synthesized by chemical methods and used as building blocks for self-assembly into arrays. The collective magnetic behavior of the arrays has been studied using electron holography and Lorentz microscopy to image domains, and using polarized small angle neutron scattering to investigate the magnetization length scales within nanoparticles and their assemblies. Magnetic nanoparticles and nanopillars are also made by electron beam lithography and etching. We have demonstrated the ability of conductive atomic force microscopy to detect the state of a magnetic tunnel junction nanopillar, and switch it using a spin-polarized current. .

Inter Actions Department of Physics 2015
INTER ACTIONS DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS 2015 The Department of Physics has a very accomplished family of alumni. In this issue we begin to recognize just a few of them with stories submitted by graduates from each of the decades since 1950. We want to invite all of you to renew and strengthen your ties to our department. We would love to hear from you, telling us what you are doing and commenting on how the department has helped in your career and life. Alumna returns to the Physics Department to Implement New MCS Core Education When I heard that the Department of Physics needed a hand implementing the new MCS Core Curriculum, I couldn’t imagine a better fit. Not only did it provide an opportunity to return to my hometown, but Carnegie Mellon itself had been a fixture in my life for many years, from taking classes as a high school student to teaching after graduation. I was thrilled to have the chance to return. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 2008, with a B.S. in physics and a B.A. in Japanese. Afterwards, I continued to teach at CMARC’s Summer Academy for Math and Science during the summers while studying down the street at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2010, I earned my M.A. in East Asian Studies there based on my research into how cultural differences between Japan and America have helped shape their respective robotics industries. After receiving my master’s degree and spending a summer studying in Japan, I taught for Kaplan as graduate faculty for a year before joining the Department of Physics at Cornell University.

All rights reserved Printed in Great Britain 1355-2198/98 $19.00#0.00 Feynman’s War: Modelling Weapons, Modelling Nature Peter Galison* What do I mean by understanding? Nothing deep or accurateÐjust to be able to see some of the qualitative consequences of the equations by some method other than solving them in detail. Feynman to Welton, 10 February 1947. 1. Introduction: Modular Culture In all of modern physics there are few elements of theory so pervasive as Feynman diagramsÐJulian Schwinger once sardonically remarked that these simple spacetime ﬁgures brought quantum ﬁeld theory to the masses. In reaching ‘the masses’ this graphic synthesis of quantum mechanics and relativity played a formative role in the development of quantum electrodynamics, meson theory, S-matrix theory, condensed matter physics, the standard model of particle interac- tions, and more recently, string theory. Part representation, part abstract symbol- ism, these line diagrams constitute one of the most intriguing and precise forms of modelling a¤orded by the physical sciences. With stakes that high, it is not surprising that historians, foremost among them Silvan Schweber, have both followed the growth of quantum electrodynamics after the war in detail and precisely tracked antecedents of the Feynman diagrams from cloud chamber photographs to schematic electronic diagrams; from E. C. G. Stueckelberg’s spacetime diagram drawn in the 1930s showing a positron as an electron moving backwards in time to John Wheeler’s emphasis to his student Feynman that all physics could be understood through scattering.1 Once the graphs come * Department of History of Science, Department of Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2009 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. FREDERICK REINES March 16, 1918–August 26, 1998 BY WILLIAM KRO P P , J ONAS SC HU LT Z , AND H ENRY SOBEL REDERICK REINES WAS A man of imposing physical stature Fand presence, with an even more imposing appetite for physics and a passion for discovery. His energy, drive, and far-reaching vision carried him to the very heights of discovery but never quite satisfied his yearning for more. His philoso- phy could be described by a line from Robert Browning he sometimes quoted: “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp/Or what’s a heaven for?”1 His scientific longing and reach often led him to envision and plan experiments of the most challenging nature on what seemed to be an exception- ally broad, expansive scale. Despite the financial vicissitudes that would often, to his consternation, constrain the size of the realized project, his sustained effort and far-sightedness would invariably pay off with genuinely remarkable results. John Wheeler described him as “talented in both theory and experiment, a bear of a man given to thinking big about nearly impossible problems as he paced up and down in his oversized shoes.”2 Reines’s achievements brought him many distinguished awards, the highest of which was the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics, which he shared with Martin Perl, and which rec- ognized Reines’s experimental discovery of the neutrino some 40 years earlier.

Leon Lederman, spokesman for the original experiment, described the upsilon discovery as “one of the most expected surprises in particle physics”.
