The recent graduate, currently studying in the UK, also received a Winston Churchill Scholarship in February.
-
With her discoveries about dwarf galaxies, she helped kick start the field of Near Field Cosmology.

Brig Williams '66 and Stephon Alexander '93 are two of the many researchers contributing to this extensive physics project.
-
The award is given annually to an undergraduate who has "demonstrated exceptional potential for scientific research by an original contribution to physics."

The Leverhulme Trust, a UK Foundation, has awarded a Visiting Professorship to enable Professor Jerry Gollub to visit the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Cambridge University. The Leverhulme Visiting Professorships are awarded to enable “outstandingly distinguished academics” to visit UK universities.

Scientific journals, such as Physical Review Letters, use referees to evaluate manuscripts that are submitted for publication.
-
The physics major is the first Churchill recipient in the College's history.

Bruce Partridge retired from Haverford this spring after many years of teaching at the College.
Bruce will stay busier than ever as a professor emeritus in residence at Haverford, doing research on the
Planck Explorer satellite, set to launch in 2008, and performing his duties as the
President-elect of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

Chris Cothran, visiting assistant professor in physics these past two years, will be taking a research scientist staff position in the Naval Research Laboratory just outside of Washington, D.C.
We're sorry to see him go, but we're glad he and Shannon are winding up with jobs in the same great area, near her family. Congratulations, Chris!

Jonnie Pober (Physics & Astronomy '07) spent a year at Cambridge University and will begin a PhD program in Astronomy at Berkeley in fall 2008.
-
Steve Posner '03 (astronomy '03) is currently in a masters program at the University of Vermont in the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources.
-
Starting fall 2008, astrophysicist Beth Willman will join our Physics and Astronomy departments as an assistant professor. Willman uses both observational and computational techniques to study near-field cosmology.

A collaborative article in Nature Physics, co-authored by Professor Jerry Gollub, shows how a driven fluid containing particles can self-organize into a special state in which the particles avoid colliding with each other.
Read the full article.
The paper, co-authored with colleagues from Harvard and M.I.T., discusses how Quantum computers could excel in modeling chemical reactions and futuristic devices would likely outperform conventional computers in chemical simulations.More >
Robotics, peptides, and the mapping of star formations were just a few of the topics represented during the 5th Annual Undergraduate Science Research Symposium held at Haverford on September 27th.
Partridge will become president of the organization in 2009.
