As part of the Curious Kids series on The Conversation, Assistant Professor Adi Foord tackles a question about the feasibility of time travel. Curious Kids is a series that lets experts across the country answer questions posed by kids. In the article, Professor Foord summarizes a few different perspectives on time travel, including: wormholes, a failed dinner party hosted by Stephen Hawking, and cosmic time travel with telescope time machines. The article, "Is time travel even possible? An astrophysicist explains the science behind the science fiction" was published 13 November 2023.

The research, based on data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, necessitates a reassessment of how particle acceleration works in these jets and potentially the wider universe. The article, "Variability of extragalactic X-ray jets on kiloparsec scales" was published 29 May 2023 in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Cory is currently finishing up his PhD under the mentorship of Dr. Todd Pittman, and will soon begin his NRC Postdoc at The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD.

Cory's experimental research is in the area of quantum optics and quantum information processing with single photon qubits. His PhD work involved a new conditional measurement process called "Zero-Photon Subtraction" (ZPS), and led to several publications in prestigious journals. ZPS is of fundamental interest in the area of "quantum state preparation" and has practical applications in quantum communications. Cory will continue his research in quantum measurement and optical quantum information processing at NIST. ]]>
