Faculty, students, alumni and donors celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Nicholas and Lee Begovich Center for Gravitational-Wave Physics and Astronomy (GWPAC). Alumni share how their curiosity about the cosmos led them to study gravitational-wave science at CSUF.
The SoCal Data Science Program, a collaboration between Cal State Fullerton, UC Irvine and Cypress College funded by the National Science Foundation, gives students a hands-on opportunity to learn all about this interdisciplinary, data-focused field.
Six Cal State Fullerton faculty-student teams have been selected for the Council for Undergraduate Research’s inaugural Scholars Transforming Through Research Program.
Mechanical engineer John W. Sanders is using quantum gravity research to predict a phenomenon called “resonance” in structural engineering.
Trina Miller, a Cal State Fullerton undergraduate researcher, is studying the threats of human-created trash to marine life in the rocky intertidal zone.
CSUF geology students investigated an inactive volcanic magma chamber — once filled with molten rock and crystals — in the Sierra National Forest.
Nima Aminzadeh, a biological science student at Cal State Fullerton, studied bacterial infections this summer in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Faculty members Abigail Amoako Kayser and Lucia Alcalá have recently been selected as Fulbright U.S. Scholars to Ghana and Mexico, respectively.
Sampson Akwafuo, assistant professor of computer science, is focusing his faculty-student research on computational epidemiology. This new and rapidly growing field develops computational tools for modeling, simulating, predicting and visualizing the spread of diseases in the field of epidemiology.
Cal State Fullerton is receiving a nearly $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant to prepare underrepresented students in the emerging field of gravitational-wave astronomy and create a pathway to enter a doctoral program at one of three Ph.D.-granting partner universities.
