Undergraduates in physics and astronomy are invited to learn about applying to graduate schools from Yale faculty and current graduate students.
Panel includes:
Hector Arce, Professor and DGS of Astronomy
William Cerny, Graduate Student in Astronomy
Daisuke Nagai, Professor and DGS of Physics
Emily Pottebaum, Graduate Student in Physics
Rona Ramos, Yale Physics Graduate Program Coordinator; Lecturer Physics
Learn how to recognize what makes a good résumé or CV, how to manage your online professional presence, and what tools you can use to help you make decisions about your grad school search. We’ll look at several faculty CVs, commonly-used professional profile websites, and library databases that can help you find information on departments, industries, companies, and more — whether you plan to go into academia, corporate, or nonprofit work.
“Science Communication” will include presentations by Wright Lab researchers David Moore (associate professor), Samantha Pagan (graduate student), and Jorge Torres (postdoctoral associate), providing helpful information and tips about:
Writing & publishing papers & abstracts
preparing for scientific conferences and presentations
communicating with the public about science
The event will conclude with a Q&A panel discussion to answer any questions you may have or cover any additional topics you are interested in.
BENEATH THE GREEN, THE QUANTUM
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YALE QUANTUM INSTITUTE
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to celebrate the Summer Solstice (longest day of the year) with a planetarium show and observing with telescopes, pending weather. In case of poor weather, the event will be held on Thursday, June 22. Open to all summer student researchers in astronomy, physics, and the Yale Quantum Institute.
Students in the Wright Lab summer student research program are invited to join a guided walking tour of Yale University.
The tour will leave from the Yale Visitor Center at 149 Elm Street, New Haven, CT 06511 at 1:00 p.m. Please plan to come a few minutes early so the group does not leave without you.
The tour lasts approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, and will end in the Broadway District near the Yale Bookstore at 77 Broadway.
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to join YQI for a tour of the superconducting quantum devices laboratories in Becton. Meet up at YQI at 12 pm for a quick introduction to Quantum Information Science and then we’ll head to the labs and back to YQI where lunch will be provided.

In recent years, advancements in optically levitated nanoparticles have enabled the cooling of their center-of-mass motion to the quantum ground state. As a result, a nanoparticle, which comprises billions of atoms, becomes delocalized over picometer scales. This talk aims to explore the challenges and requirements of achieving a macroscopic quantum superposition of a nanoparticle, in which the center-of-mass position is delocalized over orders of magnitude larger scales.
Wright Lab will host a 1-hour Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Shop Orientation on Tuesday, June 13 at 10:00 a.m. The EHS shop orientation is offered each semester and is required to be taken once by anyone who would like to gain access and make use of the research and teaching shops at Wright Lab.

In this workshop we will cover the equipment available at the Wright Lab Advanced Prototyping Center and how to get started designing parts. Basics of CNC laser and abrasive water jet cutting will be included, as well as an introduction to 3D printing. No prior experience is required, but having an idea for a project that you may want to get started on would be great. We will start off with a classroom presentation and then have a quick tour of the facilities.
