Sac State Physics

Physics department is well represented at the @sacstate outstanding faculty awards with Dr Liza Morris winning the University service award and Dr. Rodolfo Barniol-Duran winning the community service award. @SquishyPhysics

Awards abound in the physics department. Dr. Eliza Morris is the recipient of this year's NSM Outstanding Faculty Award for University Service, and Dr. Rodolfo Barniol-Duran recieved the NSM Outstanding Faculty Award for Community Service. Congratulations!

Even think, "gee, I wish I knew more about parallel RLC circuits?" Well I've got you covered with a new paper in @JournalPhysics aapt.scitation.org/doi/10.1119/5.…

And we have great faculty too!

We just learned that our NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education and Human Resources (IUSE:EHR) grant was funded! Over the next 3 years, we will be implementing and comparing three different active learning formats in lower-division undergraduate physics courses.

Physics alum Rob Custodio, who is a Senior Health Physicist at the Radiological Health Branch at @CAPublicHealth , is looking to hire an entry level Health Physicist. See the link below for more information calcareers.ca.gov/CalHrPublic/Jo…

Almost 1,000 visitors attended our Planetarium Event featuring images from NASA's new James Webb Space Telescope. On July 21st, we will host more FREE shows! All guests will need to secure a ticket through our Hornet Ticket Office in order to attend. More details on our website!

Our own Dr. Kyle Watters, @CSUSPlanetarium director, was on @kcranews yesterday discussing the planetarium's open house today from 10 - 3 to show the first pictures from the new James Webb Space Telescope. Check it out! kcra.com/article/sacram…

Come work for us! We are looking for a technician to manage our teaching labs, and perform other duties around the department. If you or anyone you know are interested, see the ad in the link careers.csus.edu/en-us/job/5098…

Our campus Course Redesign Grant is funded for all of next year! The grant will fund Eliza, Mikkel, and Dr. Bita Rivas from @sacstate's Counselor Education program to implement and assess the Integrated Peer Leadership Program in scaled-up sections of our intro physics classes.

@sacstate physics alumni and planetary defender @ElizabethTinkG was on @kcranews last night talking about her work on #DARTMission kcra.com/article/sacram…

We're excited to announce that Eliza is one of 6 Course Redesign Minigrant Principal Investigators, whose projects will be funded through the STEM4Equity grant, one of two recent Sac State grants from the U.S. Department of Education (csus.edu/news/newsroom/…).

New publication from our new faculty. Here's to many more!

Sac State Planetarium is opening up this fall. Make sure you get your tickets, they go fast!

Our technician, Tom Scarry snapped this first, quick, image from our 8-inch telescope at the new Sac State Observatory. We are hoping to have the observatory fully operational this fall for classes and public viewings.

We're delighted to share another paper just accepted, this one for publication in @PhysRevFluids! Read about how polymer retention in porous media affects the permeability by diverting the flow in the medium: journals.aps.org/prfluids/accep…

Herminio Carrillo, congrats on graduating from @SacStatePhysics and being accepted into the @DePaulU APS Bridge program!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@arptttt @HokkaidoUni @sacstate We are very excited for you to join us. Welcome!

I'll be moving on from @HokkaidoUni to @sacstate this August to start a tenure-track position in their physics and astro department! (not news to some, lost track of who I've told...) Excited to start, and a little sad my last year in Japan has been such a strange one.

Hey @CSUSPlanetarium

Back in the lab this summer with students Jack and Ryann!
