#15 - Dr. Benjamin Tayo

We sit down with one of the Physics Soceity Officers here at UCO. Anjali Poulo is the Secretary of Defense for Physics Society, Engineering Physics Major, and Material Science Researcher. She wanted to come on to talk about a topic she is passsionate about "Biomemicry". Per usual we got to talk to Anjali about a wide variety of topics, and were thrilled to finally have her on!Check out our website and join our discord!⁠https://physicssociety.github.io/physics-society-website/Need a T-Shirt email us @[email protected]

Round 2 with the one and only Dr. Benjamin Tayo. We dive into a variety of topics per usual. Quantum Computing, its future at UCO, future PhD programs here at UCO by 2027, and so much more! Hope you enjoy.Check out our website and join our discord!⁠Physics Society — Blog & EventsNeed a T-Shirt email us @[email protected]

In this episode we talk multiple personalities, simulations, and much more. This is kinda what happens when you get a Biomedical Engineer and a Computer Engineer together.... Check out our website and join our discord!⁠Physics Society — Blog & EventsNeed a T-Shirt email us @[email protected]

Today we sit down with a Mechanical Engineering Friend of ours Joey Yang. We talk about INTRINSIC vs EXTRINSIC Motivation, and the science/research behind how your brain can start to rewire itself to like more one then the other. Per usual we talk a little engineering and a little philosophy. Hope you enjoy!Check out our website and join our discord!⁠Physics Society — Blog & EventsNeed a T-Shirt email us @[email protected]

Wasup everybody! Today we have on our friend who is a EE & BME grad student Connor Westfall. We get into the research he is involved in that takes place in the Material Science Lab here at UCO. This research is specifically in magnetic materials, and so we do a little diving into a wide variety of magnetic related topics. Hope you ENJOY!Check out our website and join our discord!Physics Society — Blog & EventsNeed a T-Shirt email us @[email protected]

Professor Prather episodes are always epic. He is known for being knowledgeable in Classical Mechanics, but has recently taken a bit of a different trajectory into Machine Learning. We get into both topics, but spend a lot of time talking about the many popular ideas in AI and the meaning of mankind. Prof. Prather Website: https://www.peirastes.com/

We got the privilege to interview one of UCO's very own Chemistry Professor and Researcher who has a BA in Chemistry, PhD in Pharmaceutical Science, and has spent some time at a NIH Laboratory. Not only is she great at these two things, but she is also seen by many as a great mentor. As with all of our first time guests who are professors we get into where Dr. Waters is from, and just where her insatiable curiosity comes from. We also dive into some of her research, and how she helps highlight not just her mentees research but many others that are wrapped up in a three headed research monster called the Tri-Center Symposium! This consists of the Center for Wildlife Forensics and Conservation Studies (CFACS), the Center for Interdisciplinary Biomedical Education and Research (CIBER), and the Center for Research and Education in Interdisciplinary Computation (CREIC). to reach Dr. Waters send her an email at: [email protected] is a link to her UCO page: https://www3.uco.edu/centraldirectory/profiles/924485

Dr. Benjamin Tayo is a mentor to many here at UCO. He is the advisor of our beloved Physics Society, and a relentless Researcher. His research is in computational solid state/condensed matter physics. He recently published a ground breaking paper which is linked below. We dive into his background, his research, and some of his philosophies of life. Enjoy!Dr. Tayo's Latest Research Paper: Defect-Engineered Graphene Nanoribbons for Enhanced DNA Sequencing: A Study of Structural Defects and Their Impact on Nucleobase Interaction and Quantum TransportAvailable on YouTube as well: https://youtu.be/DiMpaTGnE30Physics Society Website: Physics Society — Blog & Events

We sit down and reflect a bit on the semester that just passed. We also get into a couple of other fun engineering/physics topics of course!Check out our website!https://physicssociety.github.io/physics-society-website/How to get ahold of us?The website above or email: [email protected] Orders: Send to our email: [email protected]

Physics is everywhere! Including MUSIC! No we dont make any huge discoveries or dive as deeply as we set out to, but we got to do what we always enjoy doing-- having fun and getting to learn about a new classmate of ours, while learning a bit about the physics of music.
