Physics faculty members Mahmoud Hussein, Scott Diddams, and Thomas Schibli, are leading or collaborating on 2024 U.S. Department of Defense projects awarded through the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) Program.

Luke Coffman, third-year physics major, is among three ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder students ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder students to be awarded a Goldwater Scholarship, which rewards sophomores and juniors who are actively conducting research in math, science and engineering.

The College of Arts and Sciences recently named 23 students as 2024 Jacob Van Ek Scholars, including undergraduate physics majors Aaron Barrios and Alexandra Plocki. The award is one of the college's highest honors, recognizing students for their academic achievement and depth of service.

Congratulations to Dr. Zach Ulibarri, who was named a 2024 51 Pegasi b Fellow by the Heising-Simons Foundation. The 51 Pegasi b Fellowship provides postdoctoral scientists with the opportunity to conduct theoretical, observational, and experimental research in planetary astronomy. Dr. Ulibarri earned his PhD in physics from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder in...

Building on efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in physics, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s Department of Physics and JILA will host a Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥*iP) in January 2025. The conference will bring approximately 150 students from the Midwest region to Boulder.

A team of researchers from ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder and the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ School of Mines was named a winner in the 2023 NASA Entrepreneurs Challenge. The Front Range team includes ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder physics faculty Xu Wang and Mihaly Horanyi, who are co-founders of a start-up company, Space Dust Research & Technologies (SDRT).

A group of seven physics students, staff, and faculty were recently awarded funding from the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Innovation Fund for their proposal to improve undergraduate research for underrepresented and minority groups in STEM disciplines. The grant will support two key initiatives including an undergraduate research expo...

The Heising-Simons Foundation recently announced $3 million in multi-institution grants for theoretical and experimental research on Informing Gravity Theory. Half of the award has been granted to a group of five faculty centered at the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder and JILA, a joint institute between ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Professor Scott Diddams has been named an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Fellow for his contributions in optical frequency combs and their applications. Diddams is the Robert H. Davis Endowed Chair in Discovery and Learning and Professor in Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and Physics.
