Expanding University Initiatives
Physics professor receives a DOE topical collaboration grant to study heavy-quark physics
Dr. Michael Strickland's group will participate in a new Topical Theory Collaboration funded by DOE’s Office of Nuclear Physics to explore the behavior of heavy flavor particles. The collaboration will receive $2.5 Million from the DOE Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics, over five years. That funding will provide partial support for six graduate students and three postdoctoral fellows at 10 institutions, as well as a senior staff position at one of the national laboratories. It will also establish a bridge junior faculty position at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø.
Neuroscience Symposium Attracts Experts
51³Ô¹ÏÍø Brain Health Research Institute’s 10th Annual Neuroscience Symposium features leading neuroscience experts and brings top researchers to the Kent Campus.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Annual Clothing Drive Wants Everyone Warm This Winter
From Nov. 14 through Dec. 9, university groups on the Kent Campus will be collecting clean, gently used or new items from all ages, including warm clothing, hats, gloves, scarves and sweaters.
Supporting Scientific Discovery
This Giving Tuesday Jacqueline Bresnahan, ’68, Ph.D., is contributing the matching funds for the Brain Health Research Institute Undergraduate Fellows Program in honor of the most influential mentor in her life, her mother.
Research Update: Studying neutron stars with gravitational waves
Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe, and as such, the conditions at the cores of these extreme objects are impossible to reproduce on Earth. However, we can use data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo gravitational wave detector to gain insights into the physics of neutron stars.

Physics professor receives DOE grant to study the quark-gluon plasma
Up until approximately 10^(-5) seconds after the Big Bang, the Universe was is a primordial state of matter called a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This is due to the fact that the early Universe was extremely hot and in such a hot environment normal matter, e.g., atoms, atomic nuclei, and even neutrons and protons, did not exist.
Physics professor receives NIH grants to study membrane proteins
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently awarded a $1.86 million grant to Thorsten-Lars Schmidt, Ph.D., to develop molecular tools that help researchers to understand membrane proteins. As an add-on the NIH awarded Dr. Schmidt an instrumentation grant for a high-end Atomic Force Microscope.
