Michael D. Hildreth, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Physics Biography Michael Hildreth, who joined the Notre Dame faculty in 2000, is a physicist specializing in the study of elementary particles, the most basic building blocks of the universe. With degrees in physics from Princeton (A.B., 1988) and Stanford (Ph.D., 1995), he has conducted research at all of the major particle physics laboratories worldwide, including current activities at the KEK laboratory in Japan, at Fermilab outside of Chicago, and at CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland, Categories where he works on the Large Hadron Collider. Before coming to Notre Dame, he spent five years in residence at CERN, first as a fellow and subsequently as a staff physicist. Co-author of Science more than 400 publications, he has been recognized nationally by the Department of Energy as an Outstanding Junior Investigator, and by the Research Corporation as a Cottrell Scholar, an award that recognizes excellence in research and teaching. At Notre Dame, Hildreth has received the Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, the Thomas P. Madden Award as the outstanding first-year professor, and has made numerous innovative contributions to first-year physics instruction. Lecture Notre Dame Physicists Discover the “God Particle”: Action at the Large Hadron Collider Notre Dame physicists are engaged in one of the most exciting and potentially transformative scientific endeavors of our time: the highest energy particle collisions ever created in the laboratory will allow scientists to study the conditions of the early universe at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. The answers to questions like “why is there mass?” and “how are we here?” may lie in the trillions of particle interactions we will study. A discussion of Notre Dame’s role in the recent discovery of a Higgs Boson-like particle and its implications for the future of our science will be presented. 46 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2013 Program
George S. Howard, Ph.D. Professor, Psychology Biography George Howard has published 13 books and more than 170 articles in psychological journals. He is past-president of two divisions of the American Psychological Association and won Notre Dame’s Faculty Award in 1998. Lecture Are You Ready for the Hydrogen Economy? A major shift in the world’s energy systems will soon overtake us. We will transition from the era when energy was produced by burning hydrocarbons (e.g. oil, natural gas, wood, coal) to an era where hydrogen will supply our energy needs. This lecture explains the generation, storage, transportation, and use of hydrogen. It explains some of the products that have already begun this transition (e.g. photovoltaic cells, hybrid-electric autos). Finally, it offers and discusses “tips for transition” to hydrogen, and how such transition will impact our country’s businesses, the homes we build, the cars we drive.
