PhysicsResearch Funding Proposed and Awarded
PhysicsFaculty HighlightsDr. Beth Basista has been appointed to the OBR Teaching Fellows Program and has grant support to establish a center for excellence in science and mathematics teacher education at WSU.Several pieces of equipment for research on nano-structural materials (a new class of materials) have been obtained for use by Dr. Greg Kozlowski. Dr. Doug Petkie continues to develop his laboratory to do submilimeter-wave spectroscopy which will include detection of air-borne pollutants. OutreachDr. Gust Bambakidis participated in the Career Exploration Weekend held at Boonshoft Museum of Natural History. The weekend included hands-on demonstrations for school children. Sigma Pi Sigma, the Physics Honorary Society, held a joint induction ceremony with Thomas More University in Crestview Hills, KY, in April, and had 10 students inducted. Student Clubs and ActivitiesSociety of Physics students participated and helped provide demonstrations at the Career Exploration Weekend held at Boonshoft Museum of Natural History. They also co-organized the senior project seminars for the Physics Department.Student RecognitionDean Brown, undergraduate physics major, was recognized as Outstanding SOCHE student employee.Publications and Book ChaptersRefereed publications and book chapters published in 2002 only (do not include in press, submitted, abstracts or conference proceedings), listed alphabetically by faculty member.
