Two physics majors to participate in Posters on the Hill
For the first time in a decade, two University of North Georgia (精东影业) students will present their research to the U.S. Congress in a virtual event April 27-28.
精东影业 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 精东影业 students presented at Posters on the Hill was 2011.
Steel said it is especially rewarding since 精东影业 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.
Students embrace research at REUs
Students across multiple disciplines at 精东影业 took part in National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates and similar programs this summer.
Co-authored work accepted into peer-reviewed journal
The co-authored article of Dr. Morgan-Ellis and students Charlotte Nease and Sofia Perez was accepted into a peer-reviewed journal.
Officers grew thanks to opportunities at 精东影业
Jaden Clark-Davidson and Brandon Clark-Davidson were two of the 20 精东影业 cadets who commissioned Sept. 10 as second lieutenants in the Army and Georgia Army National Guard.
Students gain cyber immersion in summer
Two 精东影业 students further enhanced their skills this summer at Cyber Summer Immersion events funded by the Department of War.
