Prof. Michel Janssen__How Einstein went from putting the facts first to putting math first?
Prof. Vincent Noireaux__Biophysics at the School of Physics, UMN
REU students working in their lab/offices
Matt
Matt's group is studying asymptotic giant branch stars in local group dwarf galaxies that were observed using the Spitzer Space Telescope. And he is writing code that picks out stars from these images and corrects their magnitudes.
Luke
Luke is working on injecting gravitational-wave signals into interferometer noise in order to determine what astrophysical events are capable of being detected by LIGO and VIRGO.
Tim
Tim is working on trying to fit polarization data of radio signals from galaxy clusters in order to obtain an estimate of the Rotation Measure (RM), which can be interpreted to give information on the magnetic field(s) in the intracluster medium.
