Off Campus Research
Off-Campus Research
After our students have worked on research projects in our Physics Department for a year or two, we encourage them to apply for summer employment at other universities, national laboratories, or companies. That way they learn how different institutions operate, they gain exposure to a wide variety of physics and engineering topics, and they potentially set themselves up for future academic and professional pursuits. The posters at the right are good examples of the types of off-campus projects our students have worked on in recent summers.
Computational Modeling of Gene Networks; Molly Andreason, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Low Coercivity in a Co/Pt Superlattice, Matt Jungwirth, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Particle Flux Profiles in ELM Control Experiments at DIII-D; Austin Nelson, Sandia National Laboratory
A Laser Frequency Doubling Application in Single Ion Trapping, Zach Simmons, University of Washington, Seattle
The Origin of a Second-Order Phase Transition for PrOs4Sb12, Matt Jungwirth, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
The Ahronov-Bohm Effect: Microscopic Coils / Macroscopic Analogies; Zach Simmons, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
