Prof. Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (right), a 1997 Nobel Laureate for Physics recipient will honor AIT in a lecture in the next 'Bridges' event series to be held on 08 December 2004, 10:00 a.m. at the Milton E. Bender Jr. Auditorium.
Prof. Claude Cohen-Tannoudji will be the first lecturer next month and the last for this year in the return of the Nobel Laureates and Eminent Persons Lecture Series hosted at AIT by the International Peace Foundation in partnership with various organizations and institutions in Thailand. The event will continue on 05 January 2005 having Prof. Robert C. Richardson as the Series' first lecturer at AIT in 2005.
Prof. Cohen-Tannoudji will speak on 'Manipulating atoms with light'. He was the person responsible in developing new methods of laser cooling and trapping atoms in laser light. These methods have contributed to increasing our knowledge of the interplay between radiation and matter and may be applied in the development of more precise atomic lasers.
