11/17/12 - Students present research at SE Section of American Physical Society

Three students travelled to Florida with Dr. Jonathan Bennett to attend the regional conference of the American Physical Society (SESAPS). This conference is a research conference attended by hundreds of physicists from the southeastern US. All three students gave oral presentations as part of the undergraduate research session and toured the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory near the campus of Florida State University

Congratulations to Halston Lim who was recognized as the Outstanding Undergraduate Presenter at the Conference!  http://www.aps.org/units/sesaps

The students who presented were:

Halston Lim and Jason Liang: “Observability of Neutrinos from Failed Supernovae and Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers” – this was work done in collaboration with Dr. Kate Scholberg from Duke University Dept. of Physics

Harish Pudukodu: “Generation of Electricity from the Wind Draft of Cars” – this project was entirely done in the NCSSM labs and on the streets of Durham
