Some might flee from the dark and mysterious, but Amy Roberts runs headlong toward it. She joined the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Denver last fall as an assistant professor. Roberts’ research focuses on dark matter, a type of hypothetical matter that is different from ordinary matter – the protons and neutrons and electrons that form atoms, which make up everything we see and touch every day. Dark matter, on the other hand, has never been seen, but scientists estimate that its presence accounts for the majority of matter in the universe and explains some astronomical phenomenon.

Developing ways to optimize the power of learning, both for man and machine, has been a focus of Michael Mozer’s research for many years. Mozer, a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Institute of Cognitive Science (ICS) at CU Boulder, is studying the most effective ways of teaching so that humans can better consume and retain information.
