ACU physics research team receives DOE grant

Spotlight

Nat McConnell, sophomore computational physics major from Spring, Texas

Nat can't remember a time when he didn't like figuring out in a logical fashion how the world works.

Sarah Schmidt ('05), E.On Climate & Renewables, wind energy developer

Sarah's job is essential to the rapidly developing wind energy industry. She designs meteorological measurements at potential wind farm locations, analyzes the quality of the wind at the site, and designs wind farm layouts.

Darby Hewitt ('08), at the University of Illinois studying to be an electrical engineer

With a physics degree from ACU, Darby Hewitt found himself qualified for acceptance into the top engineering programs in the country.

Sarvagya Sharma, sophomore computational physics/math major from New Delhi, India

Last summer, Sarvagya didn't go home to India. Instead, he spent the break at Los Alamos National Laboratory, along with two other ACU students.

Keller Andrews, sophomore physics major from Corsicana, Texas

Studying at ACU has given Keller research opportunities he might not have found elsewhere. He spent last summer at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island and looks forward to another summer of research.

Welcome to Physics at ACU!

If you're looking for a quality program that offers research experience and prepares you for graduate school, you're in the right place.

"The best part about our department is the professors, and the friendships we develop with them during our summer research projects. There's just something to be said for being able to learn from your professors, work and research next to them, and then also get to go to church with them on Sunday." - Austin Basye
