Axion Dark Matter eXperiment Collaboration Meeting
|
| |
Last month, the WashU Department of Physics hosted the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment (ADMX) collaboration meeting. Professors Buckley and Murch, who co-organized the meeting, are members of the ADMX collaboration, providing the quantum electronics for the experiment. The meeting and the public talk by Pierre Sikivie (inventor of the “Axion Haloscope” experimental approach) were made possible by the Center for Quantum Leaps and the Dean’s office.

Fellowship Writing Workshops
|
|
|
WashU's NSF Prepare workshop is open for applications. This workshop is designed to assist you with applications to the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), which is highly recommended for all eligible graduate students.
As in previous years, the university is offering a generous incentive program for fellowship applications:
|
- You receive $200 for applying to any qualifying fellowship
-
You receive $1,000 if awarded, plus 15% on top of the stipend (see fine print for details)
- Faculty or staff who substantially assist with your application receive $900 (awarded to their research account) if you win — a slight change from last year
