Astrophysics to Medical Physics: One Grad Students Journey to a Ph.D.
Beth Lusczek School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Minnesota (Truman alum)
This talk will cover two (very) different paths through graduate school at the University of Minnesota. Path one follows a traditional physics path, working with the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna collaboration. The ANITA project is a NASA balloon-borne high-energy astrophysical neutrino detector, exploiting radio frequency Cherenkov radiation as the detection mechanism. The path then turns to the less traditional field of medical physics, where preliminary work to develop an implantable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance microchip is being done. This talk should be of interest to students who are interested in continuing to study physics at the graduate level.
