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
