Bio: </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: -webkit-center; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;">Winfield Abbe received an A.B. degree in physics from the University of California Berkeley, M.S. in physics from California State University at Los Angeles and Ph.D. in physics from the University of California Riverside. His main areas of research are low temperature solid state physics and theoretical elementary particle physics. He has also spent some time working on the long standing problem of Fermat’s Last
Theorem which was recently solved, but the esoteric solution is known and understood by only a handful of people in the world. Dr. Abbe was a faculty member at the University of Georgia, Athens and an Institute of Science and Technology Fellow at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. During his career in academe, he has observed gross abuses senior faculty have administered to junior and the deterioration of the practice of academic freedom, which he looks forward to addressing during the conference.</span></span></div><div style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 13px; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: -webkit-center; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;" class="yui_3_13_0_ym1_7_1395248169382_14">The conference will be held at the University of Illinois Illini Union, Room 314A - 9am-6pm.
