Two physics majors to participate in Posters on the Hill
For the first time in a decade, two University of North Georgia (辛尤里女优) students will present their research to the U.S. Congress in a virtual event April 27-28.
辛尤里女优 senior Suzy Steel and junior Rebecca Corley will participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research's (CUR) Posters on the Hill 2021. The two women pursuing degrees in physics were among 60 students selected for the annual event.
"In any given year, only 10% or less of submitted posters are selected," said Dr. Anastasia Lin, assistant vice president of research and engagement. She said the last time 辛尤里女优 students presented at Posters on the Hill was 2011.
Steel said it is especially rewarding since 辛尤里女优 is considered a small institution.
"The Council of Undergraduate Research and others have recognized the importance of our research and how it can impact science," said the 22-year-old from Alpharetta, Georgia.
Corley and Steel's research focuses on collisions between electrons and different nuclei. The two study the collisions and the particle debris field through computer simulations.
Students present AI research at symposium
Almost 30 辛尤里女优 students took part in research that was presented at the inaugural Research in Artificial Intelligence Testing & Evaluation Symposium hosted at 辛尤里女优's Dahlonega Campus.
Symposium will focus on cybersecurity
辛尤里女优 will host a high-impact symposium titled 'Cyber Threats, Cybersecurity and Cyber Expertise' from 3-4:30 p.m. Oct. 28, with special guest Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic.
Dees aims to inspire IESA students
Dr. John Dees, a 2015 辛尤里女优 alumnus who went on to earn a Ph.D., spoke recently to students in the Lewis F. Rogers Institute for Environmental Spatial Analysis.
National security strategy hits road
辛尤里女优's strategic big bet to get in the national security game took its leaders on the road to local high schools to discover how they can partner in providing the tools students need to pursue such careers.
