Throughout this semester, the OHIO Center for Law, Justice & Culture has been cultivating a partnership with the Institute for Responsible Re-Entry at Marion Correctional Institution, a medium-security prison north of Columbus. This partnership has grown out of the Critical Resistance to Mass Incarceration series focusing on the U.S. criminal justice system. Some of the […]

  Twenty-one Physics & Astronomy majors were engaged in summer internships during 2014, and most of them through the department’s internship program. In Their Own Words and Pictures Erin Grimes: “Building an Optics Model to Examine Works of Art and Nature” Miguel Gomez: “The Pion Cloud and Motion of Sub-Atomic […]

 By Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy Why Be an Undergraduate Summer Intern? “To learn by experience!” – Samantha Thrush “I created my first successful nanostructure!” – Chris Wolfe “It allowed me to do something that may help advance our scientific knowledge.” – Ryan Goetz What Are Some Recent Intern Experiences?

By Yonry Zhu B.S. HTC Engineering Physics, Class of 2017 I worked during the summer of 2014 in Dr. Arthur Smith’s lab and designed a pulsed laser deposition system for fabricating semiconducting thin films. The system is meant to be a test bed for components that will ultimately be integrated […]

Chris Wolfe B.S. Physics, Class of 2015 Chris Wolfe developed a photolithography procedure in Dr. Eric Stinaff’s lab to produce micron (one millionth of a meter) scale metallic devices to ultimately use in the study of nanostructured materials. This involved significant effort to identify the optimal parameters to produce working […]

By Sara Sand B.S. HTC Engineering Physics, Class of 2017 I spent about half of the summer in the lab with Dr. Martin Kordesch building rudimentary Stirling engines. I endeavored to build an understanding of the various types of Stirling engines, improve their efficiency, and gain laboratory and machine-shop skills. […]

David Overton B.S. Physics, Class of 2016 David Overton worked with Dr. Carl Brune, Professor of Physics at Ohio University, on determining the feasibility of measurements of the 19F(p,n)19Ne* reaction. The goal was to provide information to better determine 18F(p,alpha)15O reaction rate. This rate is important for the generation of […]
