    NASA grant to Terrien for exoplanet detection

    30 September 2021

    Ryan Terrien, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy, is the recipient of a NASA Extreme Precision Radial Velocity (EPRV) grant for “Linking solar magnetic activity and radial velocity variability with ultra-high resolution laser heterodyne spectroscopy.” In collaboration with Penn State U and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), this project aims to, through the use of a specialized spectroscopic tool, improve the understanding of magnetic activity-induced radial velocity variations and inform techniques for the mitigation of stellar activity for exoplanet detection.

    Sarah Meerts receives National Institutes of Health award

    17 September 2021

    Sarah Meerts, Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology, has been awarded a National Institute of Health (NIH) Academic Research Enhancement Award (AREA) grant for her project “Neurobiology of female sexual health.” Prof. Meerts’ research employs a novel model of experience-enhanced sexual behavior in female rats to better understand neural and peripheral factors underlying sexual health. Outcomes of the research will inform treatments for female sexual dysfunction. The grant enhances research opportunities for undergraduate researchers, including those from underrepresented populations, and supports an educational associate in each year of the project.

    Research Corporation Scialog collaborative award goes to Rika Anderson

    26 August 2021

    Rika Anderson, Assistant Professor of Biology, is a recipient of a Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) Scialog Signatures of Life in the Universe (SLU) collaborative award for “Long term controls on the scope of Earth’s biosphere.” With Noah Planavsky and graduate students at Yale University, Prof. Anderson and an educational associate hope to enhance understanding of the scope of earth’s biosphere and evolution of biosignatures on early Earth-like exoplanets. Research Corporation’s SLU program considers this project as highly innovative with potential to transform its field of research and address critical global issues.

    NSF astronomical sciences division funds Ryan Terrien for exoplanet research

    26 August 2021

    Ryan Terrien, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy, has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Grant (AAG) (#2108569) for the project “Collaborative Research: Understanding exoplanets orbiting fully convective stars with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder.” This research, in collaboration with U California-Irvine, Pennsylvania State U, and U Texas at Austin, contributes to the search for planets around nearby low-mass stars, supports outreach and educational activities that engage with the public’s interest in exoplanet discovery, and funds undergraduate and graduate research from underrepresented minority populations.

    Rika Anderson wins prestigious NSF CAREER award

    16 August 2021

    Rika Anderson, Assistant Professor of Biology, is the recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) award for her project “CAREER: Temporal dynamics of microbial and viral function and adaptation in hydrothermal vents.” Her work will expand knowledge of how microbes and viruses from hydrothermal vents adapt and evolve over time, in hopes of providing insights into the early evolution of life on Earth and into the ways microorganisms respond to anthropogenic disturbances like deep-sea mining and climate change over time. Additionally, Prof. Anderson’s research engages undergraduate partners at all stages of the research process. CAREER grants are NSF’s most prestigious award to early-career faculty.

    Ryan Terrien gets NASA support for extrasolar planet research

    23 April 2021

    Ryan Terrien, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy, has been granted support from NASA to work with Eric Ford at Penn State on research that advances knowledge of the effectiveness of multiple strategies for mitigating the effects of stellar variability and instrumental effects on the measurement of extremely precise radial velocities (EPRVs) in the search for extrasolar planets. Prof. Terrien’s contribution involves diagnosing instrumental effects, and analyzing the effects of magnetic fields on Solar spectra obtained with the NEID spectrograph.

    SPIE Education Outreach Grant to Marty Baylor

    20 April 2021

    Marty Baylor, Associate Professor of Physics, has been awarded an SPIE (The international society for optics and photonics) Education Outreach Grant for her project, “Understanding Interferometry with LEGO.” The funds, enabling purchase of a travel-ready interferometer, support outreach to middle and high school students underrepresented in STEM. The new interferometer along with simple landscapes made from LEGO will be used to teach about how light can be used to make precision measurements at BLAST (Northfield), STEAM (Faribault), and TORCH (Northfield).

    Lori Pearson receives NEH Summer Stipend in support of book project

    14 April 2021

    Lori Pearson, Professor of Religion, is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipend for her project, “Marianne Weber and the Origins of Religious Studies.” Prof. Pearson’s book, Sexuality and Secularization, uses the work of Marianne Weber (wife of Max Weber) to explore how debates about women’s rights informed early 20th-century theories of religion, and this grant will support her summer work to draft the final book chapter.
