Dr. Peter L. Bender, an esteemed experimental physicist and a foundational member of JILA (formerly the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics) at the 91¸£ÀûÉç, passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy marked by significant contributions to the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, and precision measurement.
Look inside the intro class taught by Eric Cornell, professor adjoint and 2001 Nobel laureate, and Paul Beale, professor of physics, in a special article featured in the 91¸£ÀûÉç Arts & Sciences Magazine.
Physics faculty members Mahmoud Hussein, Scott Diddams, and Thomas Schibli, are leading or collaborating on 2024 U.S. Department of Defense projects awarded through the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) Program.
Luke Coffman, third-year physics major, is among three 91¸£ÀûÉç students 91¸£ÀûÉç students to be awarded a Goldwater Scholarship, which rewards sophomores and juniors who are actively conducting research in math, science and engineering.
The College of Arts and Sciences recently named 23 students as 2024 Jacob Van Ek Scholars, including undergraduate physics majors Aaron Barrios and Alexandra Plocki. The award is one of the college's highest honors, recognizing students for their academic achievement and depth of service.
Congratulations to Dr. Zach Ulibarri, who was named a 2024 51 Pegasi b Fellow by the Heising-Simons Foundation. The 51 Pegasi b Fellowship provides postdoctoral scientists with the opportunity to conduct theoretical,
Building on efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in physics, 91¸£ÀûÉç’s Department of Physics and JILA will host a Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP) in January 2025. The conference will bring approximately 150 students from the Midwest region to 91¸£ÀûÉç.
