Unifying the Universe by Hasan S Padamsee

Unifying the Universe by Hasan S Padamsee

Unifying the Universe: The Physics of Heaven and Earth provides a solid background in basic physics. With a humanistic perspective, it shows how science is significant for more than its technological consequences. The book includes clear and well-planned links to the arts and philosophies of relevant historical periods to bring science and the humanities together.

Hasan Padamsee is a Professor at Cornell University. He received his BS in Physics from Brandeis University in 1967, and his PhD in Physics from Northeastern University, Boston Mass, in 1973. He later worked at Cornell University in Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) science and technology, creating applications for particle accelerators. In 1990, he launched the TeV Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator (TESLA) which morphed into the TESLA collaboration headed by DESY, and subsequently into the International Linear Collider (ILC). Prof Padamsee received the IEEE Particle Accelerator and Science Technology (PAST) in 2012 and the APS Robert R. Wilson Prize for Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators in 2015. In 2014, Fermilab appointed Prof. Padamsee as the Head of the Technical Division to oversee the development of SRF for the Linac Coherent Light Source -II at SLAC, as well as for Proton Improvement Program (PIP-II) at Fermilab.
