Pran Nath’s latest cosmological work explores how, at the birth of the universe, dark matter and the visible universe impacted one another.

People often receive clothing, books, and gift cards for their birthdays. Northeastern professor Pran Nath is getting a two-day conference focused on the latest research into particle physics and cosmology.

Professor Pran Nath twice invited Stephen Hawking to Northeastern to speak at his International Symposium on Particles, Strings, and Cosmology. He reflected on the genius of the world-renowned physicist, who died on Wednesday at the age of 76.

On Thursday, a team of scientists announced that they had detected gravitational waves, ripples of energy across space-time sparked by the merging of two black holes. Northeastern physicist Pran Nath discusses the impact of the major breakthrough. Image by NASA

Pran Nath, the Matthews Distinguished Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, is among a group of leading theoretical physicists who have asked the Department of Energy to develop a large underground neutrino facility to maintain U.S. leadership in the frontier of particle physics. We asked Nath to explain the facility and its value.

BOSTON – January 10, 2007 – Three Northeastern University researchers have proposed a new approach for the highly anticipated discovery of supersymmetric particles, often called sparticles. The methodology, which was published in the December 21 issue of the Physical Review Letters, is based on identifying the hierarchical mass patterns of sparticles, which are assumed to […]
