The Department of Physics selected Tim Linden, a Center for Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics fellow at Ohio State University, for the 2018 Michelson Postdoctoral Prize.
The Case Western Reserve University Department of Physics has awarded the Michelson Postdoctoral Prize to an outstanding junior scholar active in any subfield of physics annually since 1997.
Linden was chosen for his work bridging particle physics and astrophysics and will be in-residence this week (Oct. 1-5) to give a talk and technical seminars.
His talk, titled “Indirect Searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles,” will be held Thursday, Oct. 4 at 4 p.m. in Rockefeller Building, Room 301.
