Physics professor Enrique “Kiko” Galvez is using a once-speculative property of light to develop a new way to identify brain disease.

Optical Society members who have served with distinction in the advancement of optics and photonics are proposed for election to the class of Fellow. Charles A. Dana Professor of Physics and Astronomy Enrique (Kiko) Galvez is among this year’s honorees.

Physics professors Rebecca Metzler and Enrique Galvez are leading a team of �IJʿ��� researchers to find out more about nacre’s structure, which is known for its strength and luster.

Lawmakers continue to deliberate the finer points of the Iran nuclear deal, and media outlets are publishing stories on a daily basis, using words like “isotope,” “centrifuge,” and “uranium enrichment.” �IJʿ��� turned to a team of faculty to explain some of those words — and a bit of the science that is so critical to […]

Even as summer temperatures neared the 90’s in Hamilton this week, �IJʿ���’s faculty continued to achieve. Here are this week’s highlights. The New York Times has called Graham Hodges, George Dorland Langdon Jr. professor of history and Africana and Latin American studies, “a taxi historian.” He recently weighed in on the debate making headlines in […]

Some people look at the sunlight wandering across the bottom of a swimming pool and see only glare. Kiko Galvez, Charles A. Dana Professor of physics and astronomy, sees the fascinating effect of electromagnetic beams bouncing and sliding through watery matter. The innate curiosity that leads Galvez to look beyond the obvious has served him […]
