SMRC Grad Students Receive Awards
Two materials science and engineering graduate students affiliated with the Scintillation Materials Research Center (SMRC) were recently honored at the 2007 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium. Kan Yang was awarded a Trainee Grant based on his presentation "Effects of Ca Co-doping on Ce3+ Luminescence Centers and Defects in LSO:Ce Crystals" and Harold Rothfuss was runner-up in the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Best Student Paper Contest for his presentation "Scintillation Kinetics of YSO:Ce."
Paul Cutler, another MSE graduate student, was recently chosen to receive a $500 Travel Scholarship for the TMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. The meeting will take place March 9 through March 13, 2008.
