2010 summer research
13 students participated in physics and astronomy research. Many of the projects were ongoing research conducted by faculty members and three represented interdisciplinary research. Research included:
- Contact binary stars
Professor Haan, Nathan Danks, Katie Shomsky: computer modeling of double ionization of atoms by visible and infrared lasers - The puzzling centers of galaxy clusters
- Investigation of type and function of ion channels in duct cells of the lacrimal gland (with biology)
- Computer model inspired by economics and biology to investigate evolution of interlocking complexity (with economics)
- Computer controlled investigations of crystallization kinetics
- Optical studies of lipid phase transition kinetics
- Dynamics of asteroids
- Investigation of possible neuronal function for Probsts bundles (with psychology)
