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 […]

 By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Xilin Zhang, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Physics & Astronomy recently completed an Intensity Frontier Fellowship. Zhang’s fellowship was co-sponsored by Fermilab, a U.S. Department of Energy particle physics and accelerator laboratory in Illinois, and the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics […]

Dr. Carl Brune, Professor of Physics, has received a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Director’s Science and Technology Award for excellence in a basic science publication. Brune was selected for his contributions as a member of the team that published “Measurement of the T + T Neutron Spectrum Using the National […]
