NanoIGERT's Charlie Blackwell Wins the 2007 Particle Society Scholarship

Congratulations to NanoIGERT's Charlie Blackwell (photographed below) of the Dept. of Physics (graduate advisor: Prof. Jim Kakalios). Charlie was selected based on his academic record and research in a cutting-edge area of particle science and engineering. The goal of the Particle Society scholarship program is to promote research in particle science, and to disseminate that research to local companies. The selection criteria for these scholarships include coursework, publications, and career goals.

As the scholarship winner, Charlie will be invited to present his research during a lunch presentation to the Particle Society membership during the spring of 2008. Watch the PSM newsletter and web site for more details. http://www.particlesociety.org/
