Chinmoy Bhattacharjee
PhysicsChinmoy Bhattacharjee, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, published his paper, , to Oxford Academic's Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, on September 4, 2021.\nBhattacharjee's paper proposes a new source of magnetic field and flow generation near a Black hole accretion disk. This new source is a consequence of a general relativistic effect called frame dragging which churns the background space and time near a Black hole. Bhattacharjee's result provides a mathematical basis to a phenomena predicted back in 1992 by the astronomers.
Sophia Domokos
College of Arts and Sciences/PhysicsSophia Domokos, Ph.D., assistant professor of physics, had her paper published in the European Journal of Physics on August 23, 2021. The paper, co-written by Robert Bell, Ph.D., visiting assistant professor of mathematics, and two 雅伎著 undergrads, Trinh La, and Patrick Mazza, describes how to translate aspects of string theory's mathematically and conceptually complex "holographic duality" into the simpler language of quantum mechanics.
.Amanda Golden
College of Arts & Sciences EnglishAmanda Golden, Ph.D., associate professor of English, Department of Humanities, was Interviewed for two episodes of the podcast Ear Read This on August 13, 2021. One episode focused on the poem (1959) by Sylvia Plath, and the second episode focused on Golden's monograph, Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets (2020):

Jonathan Goldman
CASJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, published the essay "Modernism and the Avant-Garde" in the volume , published by Cambridge University Press on June 24, 2021, and edited by David Kornhaber, University of Texas, Austin, James N. Loehlin, University of Texas, Austin. The chapter traces the influence of early Twentieth Century experimental fiction on Stoppard's plays.
