 and President Peter O. Nwosu\, Ph.D.\n\n \n\n9:15am: Guest Lecturer\, Profe
 ssor Sarbani Basu \n\nDr. Sarbani Basu is the William K. Lanman Jr. Profess
 or of Astronomy at Yale University\, USA. Basu conducts research in the fie
 lds of solar and stellar astrophysics. She has been studying both the gener
 al properties and the details of the structure and dynamics of the Sun\, fo
 cusing on solar-cycle dependencies. Her interest in putting the Sun in a ge
 neral astronomical context has led her to use asteroseismic data obtained b
 y the Kepler and TESS spacecrafts to study other stars.\n\n              \n
 \n9:45am: Guest Lecturer\, Professor Martin Hendry\n\nDr. Martin Hendry is 
 Professor of Gravitational Astrophysics and Cosmology at the University of 
 Glasgow\, where he is also Clerk of Senate and Vice Principal of the Univer
 sity.  He is a senior member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration: the glob
 al team of more than 1500 scientists who\, with their colleagues in the Vir
 go Collaboration\, made the first ever detection of gravitational waves - a
  discovery awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics. Martin is a Fellow of 
 the Institute of Physics and is also a Fellow (and currently Vice-President
 ) of the Royal Society of Edinburgh\, Scotland’s National Academy of the Ar

 y. He was then a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stellar Astrophysics Centre in 
 Denmark\, and subsequently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institut
 e for Astrophysics in Germany. His research focuses on stellar evolution an
 d pulsations\, and how measurements of pulsating stars can lend precision c
 onstraints to various fields throughout astrophysics.\n\n \n\n11:30am: Gues
