In March, I had the pleasure of interviewing Stanford physicist and colleague Matt Bellis [1] for the SMU Mustang Physics Podcast. He spoke with me about his work to “sonify” particle physics data – that is, generate sound and even music from the many forms of information present in particle collisions. His work was selected as the “people’s choice” winner at “Science Hack Day: SF” [2] in Palo Alto, CA, and he recently presented his efforts at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) [3].
“Mustang Physics” is a podcast that was initiated with support from an SMU President’s Partners Grant. It is your gateway into the lives, studies, and passions of physics students and researchers.
