Colloquium: Moving Manifolds
28 February 2025 — Next Friday, March 7 at 3:15 p.m. will feature Professor David V. Svintradze from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he will present Moving Manifolds. The presentation will be held in room N109 of the Howell Science Complex. Please join us via Webex if you are unable to attend in person.
Guest Speaker: David Svintradze
28 February 2025 — Our guest speaker next week will be Professor David Svintradze from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Dr. Svintradze’s research focuses on innovative physics informed by biological processes, utilizing differential geometry. His notable achievements include resolving the Young-Laplace, Kelvin, and Gibbs-Thomson problems, proposing manifold solutions to the Navier-Stokes incompressible equations, and advancing general relativity using calculus for moving surfaces.
Student Experience
Physics students at ECU can participate in a wide variety of activities to prepare them for their careers. Our students engage in novel research projects with world-class physicists that enable them to present their work at ECU’s Research and Creative Activities Week (RCAW) or even at international conferences. Additionally, organizations such as the Society of Physics Students enhance the student experience through peer interaction and public outreach events.
Our Department
The Department of Physics at East Carolina University aims to serve the people of the State of North Carolina by educating its students through first-rate programs at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral level. Its faculty continuously engage in interdisciplinary research programs in the areas of pure and applied physics with the goal of advancing the frontiers of knowledge in their chosen fields of specialization.
