Dr. Philip Cole, Chair and Professor of Physics, has secured a $163,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's RENEW program to train minority undergraduate students in nuclear physics through the NuSTEAM program, led by the University of Houston in collaboration with other institutions. The program offers students hands-on experience in nuclear physics research, computer skills, and soft skills, preparing them for careers in academia, government, and industry in the field of nuclear physics.

Dr. Phillip Cole, Chair and Professor of Physics, received over $300,000 in grant funding from the National Science Institute under the organization's Research in Undergraduate Institutions initiative.

In the third in a series of articles on the production of N*s for The Innovation Platform, 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳’s Professor Philip L Cole discusses the importance of using both high-intensity pion and electron beams for revealing the inner structure of excited protons (N*s) in the second and third resonance regions that decay through the two-pion channel.

Dr. Evgeny Romashets, instructor of physics, has been awarded a $219,902 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions program to study current streamlines and charged particles’ trajectories in the ionosphere, the upper atmosphere stretching from 50 to 400 miles above Earth's surface.
