PhD candidate Kevin Waters (Physics) is one of 52 new doctoral students nationwide selected for the US Department of Energy (DOE) 2017 Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program.
The program provides support for graduate students to spend 3 to 12 consecutive months at a DOE national laboratory conducting graduate thesis research in a priority research area in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist.
Waters will do his DOE research at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington. His PhD research focuses on predictive materials science and chemistry. See here.
Meanwhile Michigan Tech celebrates 5th straight year of enrollment increases!
Here some of our own researchers working in the Pierre Auger Collaboration help detect cosmic rays.
Please take some time to read it, it is very interesting and has some great photos and explains how to detect cosmic rays.
