Discover Our Universe - free lecture at Stanford University

Join me for an evening of intellectual discovery at the Kalvi Institute in Stanford.

## About the Lecture

The cosmos directly interacts with Earth through various signals in the form of electromagnetic waves (light), elementary particles, and gravitational waves. A couple of decades ago, radio astronomers found extremely bright flashes in their data that only lasted a few thousandths of a second.

## About the Speaker

Navin Sridhar is a postdoctoral researcher at KIPAC/Stanford who strives to understand various high-energy astrophysical phenomena using analytical modeling and computational simulations. Essentially, Navin uses the events that happen in our cosmos -- even cataclysmic explosions -- as laboratories to understand physics at extreme conditions that cannot be replicated in terrestrial laboratories.

## Directions and Parking

This event will take place in the Hewlett Teaching Center (370 Jane Stanford Way) on the Stanford campus. Upon arrival, please check in in the foyer of the building and follow signs for Room 200.
The closest visitor parking is in the Via Ortega Garage and along the Stanford Oval. All parking is free in spaces marked Visitor, A, or C after 4pm unless indicated otherwise. Accessible parking is also available along the Stanford Oval.
If you plan to take public transportation, some lines of the Marguerite Shuttle connect between the Palo Alto Transit Center and the campus. You can get to the Hewlett Teaching Center by taking Line P (drops off at the Stanford Oval), Line X (drops off at the ChEM-H Building on Jane Stanford Way), and Line Y (picks up across from the ChEM-H Building on Jane Stanford Way). A complete list of shuttle schedules and route maps can be found her
