Annual BLAST mathematics conference to be held at Chapman University. The BLAST conference, supported by the National Science Foundation, Chapman University, and the Center of Excellence in Computation, Algebra, and Topology (CECAT) will bring together researchers in: B = Boolean algebra L = Lattice theory, algebraic and quantum Logic A = universal Algebra S =
The director of Schmid College’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program has embarked on a collaborative research project with scholars at the University of Hong Kong aimed at exploring topics related to delayed childbearing. Brennan Peterson , Ph.D., associate professor, has conducted extensive research on young adults’ underestimation of their “biological clocks.” Such research into
Save the date! Thursday, May 9, 2013 will be the annual student research day. This event, organized to highlight the breadth and depth of scholarly and creative activity conducted by undergraduate and graduate students at Chapman, will feature two professional student poster sessions and a lunch for participants featuring a keynote speaker. Mark your calendars–you
Assistant Professor Jason Keller, Ph.D., along with a team of scientists, has been awarded a three-year, $1 million federal grant to study peatland warming. Their work is part of a long-term study organized by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and aimed at tracking bogs’ decomposition and impact on global warming. Chapman’s share of
Those blue-marble satellite images of Earth during a natural disaster are among the most powerful pictures we have whenever a hurricane, dust storm or wildfire strikes our planet. Most of us turn to newscasts to see them. But as Hurricane Sandy churned toward the Eastern Seaboard, Associate Professor Hesham El-Askary made his own. El-Askary is
Faculty researchers interested in sharing their work with students or connecting with their fellow campus researchers are encouraged to participate in the second annual university-wide Faculty Research Expo on Nov. 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Argyros Forum Ballroom. Faculty members interested in presenting at the expo are asked to indicate their interest
Dr. Tatiana Prytkova, assistant professor in Chemistry, has received a research grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) to study “The Protein Structure and Mobility Control of Electron Transfer Reactions in Ru-Modified Proteins.” Dr. Prytkova is using her research to improve efficiency in solar power, which could help lead the energy revolution. “These
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
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
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.
