UFV President Dr. Mark Evered is pleased to present faculty speaker, and UFV Research Excellence Award winner, Dr. Derek Harnett.

Harnett has been changing the way UFV students view the world since 2003. His research in subatomic physics explores things we can’t see and that might not even exist.

Working with graduate students on calculations that take months to complete, his commitment to the next generation of physicists is rivaled only by his passion for his work — the practical implementation of which might not be known for hundreds of years. His research is heralded by the scientific community and paved his way to receiving UFV’s Research Excellence Award in 2016.

Derek will touch on the most pressing issues facing subatomic physics today, how Canadian physicists plan to address them, and what we might we discover.

This is a free lecture open to UFV faculty, staff, students, and to the community.
