Ayana Arce Assistant professor at Duke University Chamberlain Postdoctoral Fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Concentrates on experimental techniques to identify & measure properties of heavy unstable elementary particles such as the top quark Currently involved in ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Ayana Arce

Theoretical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. String theory, quantum gravity, & quantum field theory that concentrates on black holes. Developed concrete realization of holographic principle that argues that gravitational physics in certain spacetimes is equivalent to a quantum field theory on the boundary of these spacetimes Juan Maldacena

High energy physicist from Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York Currently working on ATLAS experiment at LHC. Ph.D. from Northwestern University; post-doctoral appointment at State University of New York at Stony Brook. With ATLAS for over 14 years; currently oversees work on its trigger system with responsibility for capturing & recording any new physics. Srini Rajagopalan
