Joshua Grant wins physics award

2014 Nov 11

Joshua Grant was recently honored for academic research excellence at the Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) Research Conference in Fayetteville, Ark.

Grant earned first place honors in Physics Poster for his work titled, “Growth and Initial Characterization of Ge1-xSnx Films.”

Grant is a senior Engineering Physics major from Camden, Ark.

"The conference this year had a record number of presenters; considering how many they competed against, this is in fact a great honor for us," said Dr. Abdel Bachri, chair of the Department of Engineering and Engineering Physics at SAU.

SAU's College of Science and Engineering showed a record enrollment Fall 2014, due in part because of the SAU's new engineering major. The program is the only one of its kind in all of south Arkansas. With strong industry support, which translates into internship and job opportunities for SAU students and graduates, it has become a popular choice for prospective engineering students.
