By Samantha Thrush B.S. HTC Astrophysics, Class of 2015 I spent my summer doing research on injecting simulated continuous gravitational waves into real gravitational wave data at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in Minneapolis. My funding came from a National Science Foundation […]

By Thomas “Tad” Riley B.S. Physics, Class of 2016 I worked this summer in Dr. Arthur Smith’s lab with our Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) system that was recently refurbished by Anfatec, a small family-owned company in Germany. I tested all the functionality of the microscope, developing written procedures to operate […]

By Ryan Goetz B.S. Astrophysics, Class of 2017 I worked this summer with Dr. Doug Clowe,  Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, on a set of computer simulations of galaxies and galaxy clusters, along with gravitational lensing techniques, to estimate the mass of these objects. The ultimate goal […]

By Miguel Gomez B.S. Physics and Mathematics, Class of 2015 For two months this summer, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Paul King, Research Assistant Professor of Physics at Ohio University, at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, VA. Dr. King, a research assistant professor […]

 By Erin Grimes B.S. Physics and Mathematics, Class of 2016 I worked this summer with Dr. David Ingram, Professor of Physics at Ohio University, on a project to model ion beam optics of one of the beam lines of the accelerator in the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory. As Dr. Ingram explained it, this […]

By Robert Radloff B.S. Physics, Class of 2016 I worked with Dr. Julie Roche on a particle physics project at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, VA. The goal of most experiments conducted at this facility, including the one I prepared, is to understand the force […]

Olayemi Olurin has led several Learning Communities during her time at Ohio University, but this year she is mentoring freshmen interested in her own specialization: law. The Learning Community, called Law, Justice & Culture, boasts nearly 20 students in attendance and bolsters these students’ knowledge of law-related resources at Ohio […]
