Dr. Flera Rizatdinova was one of six faculty honored on Dec. 6 at the annual University Awards Convocation.
Recipients are selected based on evidence of outstanding and meritorious research achievements and are recognized nationally and internationally in their fields of study.
Dr. Rizatdinova investigates high-energy physics to understand properties of fundamental elements in the universe. She came to OSU in 2005 to start a high-energy physics research group, which led OSU scientists to join two international research collaborations, the ATLAS Detector experiment at CERN in Switzerland and a study of the interaction of elements at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois.
