The University of New Mexico Physics and Astronomy Department will co-host a series of events and educational programming designed to coincide with an upcoming annular solar eclipse. On Sunday, May 20, the western U.S. will experience a solar eclipse. For most of the region, this will be a partial eclipse, but this "Ring of Fire" eclipse, where the Moon will block out all but a small ring around the edge of the Sun, will be viewable in a small area of the country, including Albuquerque.
The Solar Eclipse viewing event near the UNM Observatory parking lot, located off Yale Blvd. on the north side of Lomas Blvd., begins at 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 20. Safety glasses for viewing will be given out free at the event. Also on Sunday at 1:30 p.m., a talk titled, "The Very Rare and Amazing May 20 Annular Eclipse and June 5 Transit of Venus," will be given by Associate Professor Greg Taylor at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Additional events will be held.
Professor of Computer Science Stephanie Forrest has been selected for the 2012 Annual Research Lecture, announced Julia Fulghum, Vice President for Research. This award is one of the highest honors that UNM bestows on a faculty member. The lecture will be presented in the Fall of 2012.
Selected by the UNM Research Policy Committee, and nominated by peers from across the United States and abroad, Forrest is noted for her exceptional abilities and knowledge, outstanding research efforts, creativity, leadership, and mentorship to a number of students and faculty. Forrest came to UNM in 1990 and is acknowledged for transforming the Department of Computer Science into an interdisciplinary and high-activity research department, as well as securing UNM's reputation as a leader in the study of complex systems.
Her expertise ranges from topics such as automated software repair and creating adaptive immune systems for nullifying computer viruses, to bringing the worlds of computer science and biology together through her work with computational modeling of biological systems, and computational immunology. :: read more (04.25.12)
Additionally, Forrest was recently named recipient of the prestigious Association for Computing Machinery/AAAI Allen Newell Award for innovations in computing technology that have made significant contributions that enable computer science to solve real world challenges. :: read more
