Two SUNY Distinguished Professors will present at the upcoming Provost’s Lecture Series event on November 20 at Stony Brook University. The lectures, held at 7 pm in the Charles B. Wang Center Theater, are open to the public and highlight research achievements within the university.
Chang Kee Jung, professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, will deliver a talk titled “Universe According to Neutrinos, Nobel Prizes, Breakthroughs and Future.” Jung plans to discuss significant advances in neutrino physics through a historical lens, focusing on connections with Nobel prizes. He will also share personal experiences from his more than thirty years working in neutrino research.
Clinton Rubin, professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and director of the Center for Biotechnology, will present “Good Vibes: Developing an Exercise Surrogate as a Non-Invasive Means of Extending Healthspan.” Rubin’s lecture addresses how exercise can counter age-related physiological decline by reducing disease risk and supporting brain health and mobility. He will discuss Low Intensity Vibration (LIV), which has been developed as an alternative to traditional exercise by utilizing cells’ ability to respond to mechanical stimuli.
The Provost’s Lecture Series features talks by faculty members recognized by the SUNY Distinguished Academy at Stony Brook University. The series is intended to showcase notable research and scholarship taking place at the institution. A reception will follow immediately after the lectures.
Further information about the lecture series is available through the Office of the Provost website.
