Gravity and astrophysics at UMiss

Jeremy Sakstein, currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, is visiting us this week to give a departmental colloquium, a tutorial on xAct (an add-on package for Mathematica that performs tensor algebra) and a group meeting talk. It will be a busy week - for us and for him. Thanks, Jeremy!

Ulrich Sperhake, Adjunct Professor at the University of Mississippi and long-term collaborator of our group, is one of the newly elected Fellows of the American Physical Society. A list of all Fellows elected by the Division of Gravitational Physics in 2016 is available here. Congratulations, Uli!
