Physics professor receives a DOE topical collaboration grant to study heavy-quark physics
Dr. Michael Strickland's group will participate in a new Topical Theory Collaboration funded by DOE鈥檚 Office of Nuclear Physics to explore the behavior of heavy flavor particles. 精东影业collaboration will receive $2.5 Million from the DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, over five years. That funding will provide partial support for six graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows at 10 institutions, as well as a senior staff position at one of the national laboratories. It will also establish a bridge junior faculty position at 精东影业 University.

New Collaboration to Provide Real-Time Data Exchanges for Astrophysicists
What happens when two neutron stars collide? What extreme densities and temperatures are reached? What new states of matter exist within the core of a neutron star? One 精东影业 College of Arts and Sciences theoretical astrophysicist, Veronica Dexheimer, associate professor in the Department of Physics, is diving headfirst into these questions as a co-principal investigator collaborating with her peers at multiple institutions on a recently funded cyberinfrastructure research grant project.
Dedication to Diversity: Dr. Tracey Motter Builds a Pathway to a Diverse Nursing Workforce
Although widely acknowledged that greater diversity among nurses reduces health disparities and improves quality of care, the U.S. nursing workforce does not mirror the nation鈥檚 increasingly diverse population.
Nuclear Physicist Tracks Rare Collided Particles to Better Understand Big Bang
Congratulations are in order for Sooraj Radhakrishnan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the 精东影业 University College of Arts and Sciences鈥 Department of Physics who performs research in experimental nuclear physics. His data analysis of some rare particles called 鈥渃harm quarks鈥 that may have existed in the first microsecond of the Big Bang, the emerging point of our universe, was highlighted in a recent issue of the .
