On this episode of Radio Physics, physicist Flip Tanedo is interviewed by interns Shen Harman & Alice Lebedev-Migdal.
Flip Tanedo builds models of dark matter. He grew up in Los Angeles and fell in love with physics after reading The Physics of Star Trek. This carried into degrees in mathematics and physics at Stanford, Cambridge, Durham, and a Ph.D at Cornell. After a postdoc at UC Irvine, he is currently faculty at UC Riverside where he is often covered in a layer of chalk dust. Most recent items: He is spending his time at Aspen Center for Physics thinking about ways in which dark matter can explain the mysteriously gigantic black holes that have been puzzling astronomers for the past 10 years and is also writing a textbook on linear algebra for physicists. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
