Michael Ross ('15), Holly Leopardi ('14), Jeremy Johnson ('18), Ian Guerrero ('17), and Dr. C.D. Hoyle
Physics & Astronomy
Physics & Astronomy alumni published a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Excellence entitled "Experimental Progress Towards Testing the Behavior of Gravity at the 20-micron Distance Scale." The work, whose primary author is Michael Ross ('15), focuses on research activities carried out in the HSU Gravitational Physics Laboratory primarily during the 2014-16 time frame. The article can be found here:

Jeremy S. Johnson, Noah K. Dunkley, Gabriela D. Martinez, Anthony E. Sanchez, and C.D. Hoyle
Physics & Astronomy
Congratulations to these student and faculty authors for the successful publication of an article titled "Novel Tests of Gravity Below Fifty Microns" in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of The National Conferences On Undergraduate Research (NCUR), 2017. Jeremy Johnson also presented this work at the conference itself, which was held in Memphis, TN in April, 2017.
Nicholas Hernandez
Physics & Astronomy
Nicholas Hernandez presented a poster providing a research update on work being done in the HSU Gravitational Physics Laboratory at the 2018 April Meeting of the American Physical Society (APS), which was held in Columbus, OH April 13-17.
C.D. Hoyle
Physics & Astronomy
Prof. C.D. Hoyle was awarded $55,000 as part of a larger $600,000 collaborative National Science Foundation grant in conjunction with Syracuse University and IUPUI. The project will establish a new experiment that will measure the gravitational constant, G, with unprecedented precision and will attempt to resolve the discrepancies between recent measurements. The funds will mainly support HSU students who will do research during the summer at IUPUI and play a substantial role in establishing the new experiment.

Sean Haas
Physics & Astronomy
Physics student Sean Haas recently had his first peer reviewed article published in National Conference on Undergraduate Research Proceedings. Haas' paper is titled, "Searching for a Connection Between Radio Emission and UV/Optical Absorption in Quasars," the abstract for which can be viewed online here: http://www.ncurproceedings.org/ojs/index.php/NCUR2016/article/view/2028.
