We’ve reached the end of a busy semester for our group, and as we transition into summer, it feels like a good time to recognize some of the achievements of our group members. First, our group was well represented among this year’s departmental awards.
- Erin was awarded the Chair’s Prize for best physics poster by a graduate student at the GW Research Showcase.
- Gabe was awarded the Berman Prize for “Excellence in Experimental Physics.”
- Logan was awarded the Gus Weiss Prize for an “Outstanding Student in Physics.”
- Gabe was also named a Columbian College Distinguished Scholar at this year’s graduation.
Earlier this spring, Erin travelled to Paris, France, to present her work at the “International Workshop on CLAS12 Physics and Future Perspectives at JLab.“
The workshop was held in the Curie Auditorium of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (National Center for Scientific Research), quite an impressive venue.
This semester also saw the graduation of two of our undergraduate students, Gabe and Logan. This felt monumental because they were Axel’s first undergraduate mentees at GW. Both Gabe and Logan wrote very impressive undergraduate theses, presented super research posters at the showcase, and were awarded departmental honors at graduation by unanimous acclamation of the faculty.
Both Gabe and Logan will be missed, but they have exciting careers in physics ahead of them. Logan will be starting in the PhD program at Notre Dame this fall, and Gabe will be pursuing a PhD at Michigan State. We look forward to seeing all they discover.
