Research
Satellites and spacecraft are running on empty due to a worldwide shortage of traditional propulsion fuels. In response, two WVU researchers are seeking alternative ways of powering the thrusters that keep satellites in orbit and could potentially drive deep space vessels.
Abigail Jones, a senior biochemistry major and Honors College student, was recognized for her paper “Independent evolution of a lysergic acid amide in Aspergillus species” during WVU Research Week.
Before coming to WVU, law student DeNay Adams worked for a health department when she recognized the challenges that individuals, particularly those from low-income and marginalized groups, face when trying to comprehend complex policies and regulations.
Honorees include Vagner Augusto Benedito, professor of genetics and plant physiology in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design; Michael Sherwin, associate professor of photography in the College of Creative Arts; and Weichao Tu, associate professor of space physics in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.
Tim Sweet, Eberly Family Distinguished Professor of American Literature in the Department of English, has been named the recipient of the Faculty Award for Distinction in Graduate Research Mentoring.
