September 15, 2011 Physics Instructor, Dana Rush, talks about the Hubble Space Telescope in the community room of the GBC. Exploring with Hubble By Chris Albert For more than a decade, the Hubble Space Telescope has been opening doors to the universe. Through its lens, we’ve received astonishing views – from the formation of stars and planets to getting a glimpse of the impact of a comet colliding with Jupiter. Dana Rush, PLU physics instructor, presented a multimedia lecture on the Hubble

Two PLU students spend the summer reading the stars Physic professors Katrina Hay and Sean O’Neill and students Julian Kop ’24 and Jessica Ordaz ’24 observe and characterize variable stars and globular clusters at PLU’s W.

Summer Internships at the National Security Agency Posted by: nicolacs / May 10, 2022 May 10, 2022 The National Security Agency (NSA) has three exciting 2023 summer internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in mathematics, statistics, and physics. Applications for summer 2023 will open on 1 September 2022 for the Directors Summer Program, Cryptanalysis and Signals Analysis Summer Program, and Graduate Mathematics Program. These 12 week paid internships provide

applied science, geology, environmental science, sustainability, astronomy, physics, nanotechnology, quantum sciences, humanities, social science, and more! Research-specific information sessions scheduled throughout November. Applications due Jan 9. ELIGIBILITY Applicants must be current sophomores, juniors, or non-graduating seniors; have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2; be a US citizen, permanent resident, or have DACA status. Strong applicants are encouraged to have prior research experience

science, physics, and chemistry, as well as with an economics or data science minor.  The applied mathematics major is offered in alongside the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education.  The engineering and industry minor will take advantage of courses already offered by the university’s physics department to students in the Dual-Degree Engineering Program. In addition to math and science courses, students will complete an

calculus-based physics sequence are good fits for the minor. Even if students do not choose a degree or a minor in engineering, PLU physics graduates have successfully pursued engineering studies in graduate school.

majors, letters of recommendation, deadlines, etc.) You will need 3 (three) letters of recommendation for Columbia: 1) A letter from the PLU Liaison (that’s me); 2) 1 letter from a Math professor; 3) 1 letter from a Physics professor. (Preferably, this should be from someone different from me, although if you don’t have any other good option, I’ll inquire if I am allowed to provide 2 letters — as a liaison and as a physics professor.) For those of you who are going to apply this cycle, you should

from passionate faculty. It was a coincidence that found Zee studying in Tacoma. His parents had wished their son to have the advantages of an overseas education, but worried what may come of him “without close supervision,” he joked. As it happened, PLU physics professor K.T. Tang visited Hong Kong (Zee was a student at the high school where Tang had once studied) and made an impression on Zee and his parents. “They thought that if I studied physics in Tacoma, Professor Tang could keep an eye on
