January 20, 2023 -- Dr. W. Michael Snow and graduate student, Jerald Balta, awarded Translational Research grant for their flexible neutron shielding material technology.
August 5, 2021 -- CEEM alumnus Dr. Andrew Jackura received the 2021 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) Postdoctoral Prize for his research of the Three-Body Nuclear Phenomena in QCD.
January 1, 2021 -- CEEM graduate student Douglas Wong (advisor Dr. Chen-Yu Liu) has been awarded a 2021 DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) award. This award will support his dissertation research on the measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment. Doug will be putting together the magnetically shielded room and commission the neutron apparatus at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
June 5, 2014 - Tianhao Wang won one of four Student Poster Prizes awarded at the 2014 American Conference on Neutron Scattering, held in Knoxville, TN, June 1-5, 2014. Tianhao's poster was entitled "Novel Non-Adiabatic Spin Flipper and Spherical Neutron Polarimeter Using High Tc YBCO Films". Tianhuo is a graduate student working under the direction of Roger Pynn at the Low Energy Neutron Source at CEEM, where some of the relevant data was taken.
