Maxwell Hazzon presented research poster at the Beacon Conference for Undergraduate Research in June 2017. The research was computer simulation of the cost of having fresh air inside a room during winter in New Jersey. The results are unexpected: less than 50 cents! The research was carried out by PHY225 students,
Shila Basu, Amogh Chitnis, Talys Drumond, and Maxwell Hazzon also presented the poster at the Bergen STEM conference in April 2017. |
Physics major Robert Albertson was the recipient of multiple awards at the May, 2013 Honors Convocation. Also pictured is, from left, Vice President for Academic Affairs Donald Generals, Dean of Science and Health Professions Linda Martin, Jeffrey Cornelius, who has established the Professor Betty Cornelius Mathematics Excellence Scholarship, and President Patricia C. Donohue. Robert was former Physics Club president and is studying physics at The College of New Jersey.
Physics Students Nathaniel Goldfarb is transfering to Stevens Institute of Technology with a Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship. Felipe Kubaski is transfering to Rutgers University with a Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship. Robert Albertson, Michael McNulty, and Semion Ribansky are winners of 2013 Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory summer internships.
