DESCRIPTION:Where do we come from? What are we made of? For over a century
 \, scientists have sought to answer these by uncovering the smallest build
 ing blocks of matter..\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/14651448
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join Dr.&nbsp\;Suyog&nbsp\;Shrestha\, Assi
 stant Professor of Physics at Washington College\, as we explore what scie
 ntists are doing today to uncover new physics that may one day rewrite our
  understanding of the universe. Through his collaborative work at CERN&rsq
 uo\;s Large Hadron Collider\, including the Nobel Prize&ndash\;winning dis
 covery of the Higgs boson\, we are getting closer to answering fundamental
  questions about the universe. This discussion should enlighten and inspir
 e the most curious.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>No registration required.</stro
 ng></p>\n<p><strong>About Dr. Suyog Shrestha</strong></p>\n<p>Dr. Suyog Sh
 restha is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Washington College (Chester
 town\, Maryland)\, where he leads the College&rsquo\;s involvement in the 
 ATLAS experiment at CERN&rsquo\;s Large Hadron Collider. His research focu
 ses on Higgs boson physics\, searches for new particles beyond the Standar
 d Model\, and the application of machine learning in high-energy physics. 
 Dr. Shrestha earned his B.A. from Grinnell College (2006)\, Ph.D. from Iow
 a State University (2014)\, and spent over seven years as a postdoctoral r
 esearcher at CERN before joining Washington College in 2022. In addition t
 o his research\, he is deeply committed to undergraduate mentorship and ST
 EM outreach - locally in Maryland and internationally in Nepal.</p>\n<p><s
