Very proud of three undergraduates in our group who presented their projects at the annual College of Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Festival, held virtually today! Great job Paul, Jakub, and Daniel!
Abhilash awarded funding from URA Visiting Scholars Program
Graduate student Abhilash Yallappa Dombara has received an award from the Universities Research Association Visiting Scholars Program. He’ll be relocating to Fermilab soon to focus on the NOvA test beam program, including detector commissioning, operations, and data analysis to better understand systematic uncertainties in NOvA’s long-baseline neutrino oscillation program.
Congratulations, Abhilash!
Help Wanted!
Interested in doing some undergraduate research in Physics? Prof. Soderberg is looking to hire 1 or 2 undergraduate researchers for up to 10 hours/week in the Fall 2019 semester. Work involves hands-on activity in the lab, as well as potential projects in machine shop and 3D printing. No prior research experience or significant Physics knowledge required! Majors and non-Majors welcome. Contact Prof. Soderberg for further details.
Dr. Pulliam!
Congratulations to Greg Pulliam, who defended his Ph.D. dissertation yesterday. Greg presented his thesis topic, “pi+ Cross Section on Liquid Argon for the LArIAT Experiment”. It was very impressive to see how he helped build and operate the experiment, and complete a fully-developed analysis, all within his graduate school years. Kudos!
