Check out the latest issue of Brandeis Magazine
June 12, 2025
The Summer issue of Brandeis Magazine is now online.
Packed with lively features and exclusive web content, this issue brings you up-to-date on all things Brandeisian — from campus news to stories about alumni and faculty engaged in repairing the world.
Discover how Sorbonne acoustician Brian Katz ’90 helped preserve Notre-Dame Cathedral’s signature sound after its devastating fire — and, in the process, revealed secrets from the building’s past.
Read about computer science professor and luthier Harry Mairson, whose software is helping fellow makers of stringed instruments craft faithful replicas of old-world violins and cellos. (Plus, watch a video to observe how Mairson builds instruments in his home workshop.)
Meet Denise Markonish ’97, who becomes the curator of New York City’s Madison Square Park this month. Like Brandeisians before her, she was deeply influenced by her undergraduate experience at the Rose Art Museum.
As always, you’ll also find reviews of new books by faculty and alumni, the latest Class Notes, and much, much more.
