Wavelengths of Discovery: from Laser-Ultrasound to Seismology

We welcome you to join us in MLT2 Lecture Theatre 303-102, on October 15, 2026 at 6:00pm for some light refreshments, followed by the lecture from 6:30pm - 7:30pm. Abstract The propagation of an elastic wave offers a unique window into the hidden physical properties of the matter through which it travels.

Changes in wave speed, reflection, refraction, and attenuation carry rich signatures about the state of the medium.
