Event Description

The Kaczmarczik Lecture is a significant event at Drexel University. For nearly 30 years, guest lecturers have included numerous Nobel Laureates and renowned scientists from around the world who present on topics that range from mapping the universe to revolutions in fundamental physics.

On February 27, 2025, we proudly welcome Stephon Alexander, PhD, a theoretical physicist of international repute, author, and jazz musician whose work is at the interface between cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, AI and music theory. His expertise lays in constructing new theories of the early universe and elementary particle physics that has predictions for the universe at present, such as dark energy and dark matter.

The Drexel Physics Department invites you to join Professor Alexander as he explores the interconnection between music and the evolution of astrophysics and quantum physics. Alexander reveals new ways music, in particular jazz music, mirrors modern physics, and the physics of the early universe. He also discusses ways that innovations in physics have been and can be inspired from “improvisational logic” exemplified in jazz performance and practice.
