Nobel Laureate at ICTP

Roy J. Glauber, a professor of physics at Harvard University and a winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics, will share his memories of and historical insight into the dawn of the nuclear era through a talk at ICTP titled "Recollections of Los Alamos and the Nuclear Era".

The lecture will be held on Wednesday 31 July at 17:00 in ICTP's Main Lecture Hall.

Glauber was only an undergraduate student when he was recruited for the Manhattan Project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. His later work focussed on optics, culminating in the Nobel recognition for his theoretical description of the behaviour of light particles.

The lecture is open to everyone.
