The Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce presents Nobel Prize winner Dr. Adam G. Riess as the speaker for the 21st Annual Albert Einstein Memorial Lecture.
The lecture will recount how Riess and his team discovered the acceleration of the Universe and why understanding the nature of dark energy presents one of the greatest remaining challenges in astrophysics and cosmology.
Riess is a professor of Astronomy and Physics at John Hopkins University and a senior member of the Science Staff at the Space Telescope Science Institute. He won the 2011 Nobel Prize for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe through observations of distant supernovae.
The event is free and open to the public and will take place on March 16 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The lecture is being held at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in Robertson Hall. For more information visit www.princetonchamber.org.
