forward to applying her vision and experience to advancing the distinctive mission of PLU."- PLU President Thomas W. Krise, Ph.D.Steven P. Starkovich, Ph.D., concludes seven years of service in the provost’s role to return to teaching and research in the Department of Physics. Starkovich first came to PLU in 1992 to teach one physics course. In 1997 he was hired into a tenure-track position of assistant professor of physics, and since 2001 he has been a tenured associate professor of physics. In 2009

of physics Katrina Hay. “It requires long exposures or stacked images, focusing in cold dark conditions, climbing a ladder to access the telescope, tracking objects as they move across the sky, and merging several color-filtered images to make a full-color image. Then the physics begins! Our students optimize these skills to capture the best images for use in their investigations- observing dynamics, temperatures, and luminosity of celestial objects,” Hay concluded.

Electrochemical Technology Master’s Internship Program Posted by: nicolacs / January 18, 2023 January 18, 2023 The University of Oregon is looking for motivated seniors in chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering, and other related fields, for their recently launched Masters program in Electrochemical Technology. In Fall 2023 they will be welcoming their fourth cohort. They have found many new graduates are looking for ways to be involved in the clean-energy transition. Their

April 4, 2008 State association recognizes student When she started her undergraduate degree at Western Washington University, Amanda Montgomery decided to major in physics. However, she quickly realized that while she liked studying electrons, fission and atomic numbers, it wasn’t what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She discovered she liked people and changed her major to psychology. After graduating, Montgomery enrolled in PLU’s Marriage and Family Therapy master’s program, from

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
