Erik Genet ’26 and Shabab Kabir ’26 have been awarded Goldwater Scholarships by the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation. 

The project, titled "Fundamental Studies of the Influence of Ligands on the Molecular Structure of Noble Metal Nanoclusters," will explore the electronic and molecular structures of these small but impactful materials. The grant is funded through the DOE Office of Science (Office of Basic Energy Sciences) as part of the DOE’s Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) program.

Traveling to Cuba, Louisiana, and Brazil, 15 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ians spent a semester studying the colonial legacy of sugar production.

This program, spearheaded by ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ summer-research students and their faculty mentors within the Science Division, brings scientific research directly to the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Farmer’s Market.

Kristen Burson, Associate Professor of Physics, and Heriberto Hernandez, Professor of Chemistry, will spend the summer collaborating with scientists at DOE-funded national labs.
