Did you know we have a planetarium? Well, we do. Smith Hall at Â鶹´«Ã½ is home to this versatile room that can be used for classes, events and can even replicate an easier-to-see version of the night sky.
The Â鶹´«Ã½ Department of Physics is proud to welcome our newest faculty member, Dr. Zhangbu Xu.
Dr. Michael Strickland's group will participate in a new Topical Theory Collaboration funded by DOE’s Office of Nuclear Physics to explore the behavior of heavy flavor particles. The collaboration will receive $2.5 Million from the DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, over five years. That funding will provide partial support for six graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows at 10 institutions, as well as a senior staff position at one of the national laboratories. It will also establish a bridge junior faculty position at Â鶹´«Ã½.
Using single molecule and ensemble level methods, the Balci and Basu Labs will perform in vitro and in cellulo experiments to establish the capabilities and limitations of nuclease-dead mutant of Cas9 (dCas9) to target G-quadruplex forming sequences in the promoter regions and regulate transcription.
Co-PIs Dr. Michael Strickland (Professor and Chair, Physics), Dr. Qiang Guan (Assistant Professor, Computer Science), and Dr. Barry Dunietz (Associate Professor, Chemistry) have received a $500k grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a quantum computing (QC) training program at Â鶹´«Ã½.
