[more]Succo will graduate this December 2013 from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado where he is double-majoring in biochemistry and cellular/molecular biology.
[more]Soto is majoring in physics and minoring in math and is just two classes away from completing her bachelor’s degree. Although her undergraduate education thus far has focused primarily on physics, she is enjoying the research she’s completing this summer in astronomy. Soto is researching active galactic nuclei, or AGNs, “which are essentially black holes in the center of galaxies.”
[more]Rosario is majoring in electrical engineering and will be a junior this fall. Rosario is spending his time this summer working closely with graduate student David McClatchy on a research study overseen by Principal Investigator Professor Brian Pogue in the Thayer School of Engineering. This study focuses on figuring out which scanning technique is most effective at identifying if breast cancer is present at the margins of the tissue extracted, knowledge that could save future patients from undergoing a second follow-up surgery to remove the residual cancer.
