Welcome to our two new faculty:
Dr. Jaikumar is a nuclear astrophysicist who graduated from SUNY at Stony Brooks. His interests are in high-density matter and its relation to astrophysical phenomena in neutron stars.
Dr. Abate is a condensed matter experimentalist, who graduated from the University of Iowa. His interests are in near-field microscopy and spectroscopy imaging in metals and semiconductors, plasmonics in nanoparticles and the physics of metamaterials.
