Our own graduate student Adam Coleman was recognized recently by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where Adam spent last summer doing research. He has been awarded an XCP Spot Award for his performance at LANL over the summer, for his contributions as a student. Well done Adam!
The OSU high energy physics experimenters took a break from their busy schedule of searching for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva (and occasionally finding one, as in the case of the Higgs boson in 2012) to immerse themselves in conveying the excitement of research to Oklahoma high school teachers.
Congratulations to all of the outstanding graduate students honored at this years awards banquet.
The Hands-on Demonstration of Interesting Physical Phenomena presentation was a great success.
Election to Fellowship in the APS is limited to no more than one half of one percent of membership and is peer recognition of outstanding contributions to physics. The citation, which will appear on the Fellowship Certificate, reads as follows: "For contributions to the theories of grand unification, supersymmetry, neutrino properties, and collider physics." Prof. Nandi's name and Fellowship citation will appear in the March 2006 issue of APS News.
