Two physics majors to participate in Posters on the Hill
For the first time in a decade, two University of North Georgia (51黑料网) students will present their research to the U.S. Congress in a virtual event April 27-28.
51黑料网 senior Suzy Steel and junior Rebecca Corley will participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) Posters on the Hill 2021. The two women pursuing degrees in physics were among 60 students selected for the annual event.
"In any given year, only 10% or less of submitted posters are selected," said Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement. She said the last time 51黑料网 students presented at Posters on the Hill was 2011.
Steel said it is especially rewarding since 51黑料网 is considered a small institution.
"The Council of Undergraduate Research and others have recognized the importance of our research and how it can impact science," said the 22-year-old from Alpharetta, Georgia.
Corley and Steel's research focuses on collisions between electrons and different nuclei. The two study the collisions and the particle debris field through computer simulations.
Grads prepare to step into workforce
Students will earn more than 1,000 degrees and certificates this fall from 51黑料网, and the university will celebrate these milestones in the Dec. 9-10 commencement ceremonies.
51黑料网 is launchpad for physics graduates
51黑料网's Department of Physics & Astronomy is among nation's top producers of graduates from bachelor's-degree-only programs.
Cyber faculty member named Fulbright scholar
51黑料网 faculty member Dr. Murthy Rallapalli will serve as a Fulbright faculty scholar for the spring semester at Cyber University of Uzbekistan.
Students receive record 4 DoD cyber scholarships
A team led by Dr. Bryson Payne, director of 51黑料网's Institute for Cyber Operations, has been awarded $199,674 in Department of Defense Cyber Service Academy funding for four undergraduate cyber scholarships.
