Join Us for the AN Lyceum Event: Dr. Aaron Dominguez on Hispanic Trends in STEM, Oct. 2

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 thru Oct. 15), the Annandale Campus Lyceum Committee will welcome Dr. Aaron Dominguez to discuss Hispanic Trends in STEM. This event will be held Wednesday, October 2, from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. on the Annandale Campus (CA-302).

Dr. Aaron Dominguez is the provost and an ordinary professor of physics at Catholic University of America and specializes in using particle colliders to explore new physics, including the recently discovered Higgs Boson. He earned his undergraduate degree from Whitman College and Caltech, his Ph.D. in physics from UC San Diego, and he was a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He has held numerous leadership positions in the L3, CDF and CMS particle physics experiments at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland and Fermilab in Chicago.

He is a member of the National Science Board, serves on several advisory boards and is an author of more than 1,100 papers in experimental high energy physics and instrumentation. As provost, he oversees Catholic University’s academic life, including its schools, libraries, research institutes and press, aiming to shape students’ futures.

Judith Gomez will moderate the discussion.
