Physics Department Newsletters 2019-2020
The year of 2019 was very productive for the University of Dallas Physics Department, especially in the areas of student research and funding for research and outreach projects. If you recall the 2018 Physics Newsletter, the department has been focused on undergraduate research projects both inside and outside of the classroom. Students have the option to complete an external research experience for undergraduates (REU) or an internal research experience at UD in nuclear physics, high energy particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology and biophysics supported by the Donald A. Cowan Physics Institute. All of the UD faculty continue to develop their research with UD students.
The department is currently recognized as a Department of Distinction (2018-2020) by the American Physical Society (APS) Committee on Education for its commitment to undergraduate research experiences and passion for innovative education practices. Throughout the rest of this newsletter, we share with you the research projects students and faculty have been working on over the past year and the new additions to existing courses to further the students’ education through hands-on techniques with advanced equipment and developing new instruments and sensors.
We hope you enjoy catching up on the happenings of the Physics department at the University of Dallas. If you would like to let us know what you are up to, then please contact us at physics@udallas.edu. Our door is always open, and we would love to have you stop by and visit us sometime.
