Three graduate students in S&T’s physics department were awarded the 32nd Schearer Prize for Graduate Research on Thursday, Dec. 11.
Kyle Foster, Pablo Jara and Rashad Bakhshizada received the honor, which recognizes outstanding research conducted during graduate study. The award is named in memory of Laird D. Schearer, the department’s first Curators’ Distinguished Professor of Physics.
First prize went to Foster for his project “Time Resolved Three Dimensional Momentum Spectroscopy in Continuous Wave Atomic Photoionization Experiments,” and to Jara for his research on “Harnessing Coherent Wave Control for Sensing Applications.”
Bakhshizada was awarded second prize for his work, “Fractional Brownian Motion With Mean Density Interaction: A Myopic Self-Avoiding Fractional Stochastic Process.”
