Nuclear physics researchers at Kent State University and all over the world have been searching for violations of the fundamental symmetries in the universe for decades. Much like the “Big Bang” (approximately 13.8 billion years ago), but on a tiny scale, they briefly recreate the particle interactions that likely existed microseconds into the formation of our universe which also likely now exist in the cores of neutron stars.

A “featured researcher” is highlighted by each of the four EHHS schools once per year. These are faculty members who have been productive scholars, both in terms of the quality and quantity of their published work. In all cases, the featured researchers have produced research that will impact their field and enhance the reputation of our college and the university.
