“The Young Scientist Awards are presented at the General Assemblies of URSI and at the URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conferences (AT-RASC) to recognize an international group of individuals who have made innovative contributions and discoveries in multidiscipline research related to electromagnetic fields and waves.”

She will join the company as an RF Systems Integration Engineer focusing on WiFi and Bluetooth technologies in their products, including iPhones, watches, and iPads.

Two cubesats at the same time! The SPARCS 6U cubesat to observe ultraviolet flares from M-dwarf stars and the DORA 3U cubesat to demonstrate widefield optical communication technologies were selected by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative for launches in 2023.

Founded through a generous gift by philanthropists Leo and Annette Beus, the new Beus Center for Cosmic Foundations at Arizona State University aims to help us better understand the history of early stars, galaxies and black holes. LoCo professor Judd Bowman has been selected as the founding director.

After completing her Ph.D. at ASU in summer 2022, she will head to Caltech to extend her research in low-frequency radio astronomy and apply electromagnetic modeling of antennas to the development and scientific operation of the OVRO-LWA and DSA radio telescopes, as well as the FARSIDE concept for a lunar radio telescope .

The deployment was recorded by astronauts onboard the International Space Station on February 19, 2020. Watch the video! Roughly 30 minutes after deployment, Phoenix’s beacon was heard for the first time at a ground station located in Indonesia. Learn more about the Phoenix Cubesat.

The Phoenix cubesat–ASU’s first student cubesat–has been delivered to NASA’s launch integrator.  It is scheduled to launch on October 21, 2019 and then be deployed from the International Space Station in early 2020.  Read more about the project.

Receiving one of only 21 awards out of 188 proposals, she will develop new technologies to enable radio telescopes on the Moon in order to study the cosmological Dark Ages and the magnetic fields of exoplanets.

The Goldwater Scholarship is a highly competitive national award that recognizes outstanding research and promising science careers. Only 496 were awarded across the US. Lily has been involved with several international projects, including HERA and LOFAR. Congratulations Lily!

After earning his Ph.D., Boom is headed to South Africa and later to China to work with teams simulating radio telescope observations for HERA and the SKA.

After completing her Ph.D., Jackie will be staying at ASU with an NSF postdoctoral fellowship to work with Prof. Sanch Borthakur!

EDGES reports evidence for detection of 21cm absorption by hydrogen gas when then universe was only 180 million years old.
