Louis Ehwerhemuepha (’13) is the recipient of the Allergan Scholarship. Ehwerhemuepha, who was born in Nigeria, will soon be receiving his Masters of Science in Computational Sciences with an emphasis in biology and bioinformatics. Growing up in Nigeria, he knew that he wanted to study computational sciences, but, with no such program in his home country,
The future of Chapman sciences will reside within the halls of an exciting new facility located in the heart of Orange County on Chapman’s beautiful campus. The cutting-edge new home to the Schmid College of Science and Technology will be designed to promote discovery through collaboration, university-industry partnerships, interdisciplinary problem-solving and student learning through innovative
The Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare donated $1 million to Chapman University for the construction of new wet labs. Wet labs are essential to the study and development of biological sciences, as they allow student and faculty researchers to conduct experiments with chemicals, biological matter, or other materials in liquid solutions. A specific set-up
She dodged lightning storms to scoop water from Corpus Christi Bay off the Gulf of Mexico, encountered “interesting” bugs, swam in an ocean warm as a bubble bath, and watched her colleagues’ research discovery make the evening news. In other words, it was a pretty good summer for Jennifer Feinstein ’14, a National Science Foundation
Dr. Roman Buniy, Assistant Professor of Physics and Computational Science, presented his latest paper “An Algebraic Classification of Entangled States” at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge. Abstract: We provide a classification of entangled states that uses new discrete entanglement invariants. The invariants are defined by algebraic properties of linear maps
Drs. Roman Buniy and Eric Minassian took several Physics students to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena May 29. Students were able to tour the laboratories and control rooms where the Mars Lander “Curiosity” was developed and launched. They were also granted access to several prototype and replica robots, which are used for mission control for the Curiosity. The
Schmid College Alumna Julia Ernst (MS Health Communications, ’11) has been recognized for her recent contribution to industry journal The Dermatologist. Her three part series on scars and their emotional impact on children has given her recognition in the dermatology world. Part one of her series can be accesses here, via The Dermatologist website. Julia
Senior Computer Science students Brian Chuchua and Sherica Grande won a tour of the SpaceX facility as a part of their special prize in the “Best Space Game” category at the IEEE Computer Game Showcase. During the tour, Grande was asked for her resume, and now interns at SpaceX. Chuchua is now working as an intern
The famous swallows of Mission San Juan Capistrano have gone missing in recent years, and it’s professor Walter Piper’s mission to lure them back to the historical nesting site. His efforts have recently become fruitful; he discovered a swallow breeding colony only 1/4 of a mile from the historic Mission. Details of his findings can
A Chapman University student team has placed in the top 4 of the 2012 U.S. Microsoft Imagine Cup competition. Going on ten years, the Microsoft Imagine Cup competition involves thousands of student competitors to present creative technology solutions that address real-world challenges. The theme for this year’s Imagine Cup is “Imagine a World Where Technology
