IU students to conduct research at Department of Energy’s National Laboratories

Monday, May 15, 2023

Three Indiana University Bloomington graduate students will conduct research at National Laboratories as part of the United States Department of Energy’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research program.

Kylie Dickerson, Bo Johnson and Gabe Otero Munoz, all graduate students in the Department of Physics in the IU College of Arts and Sciences, join 84 others from across the country to make up the program’s 2022 Solicitation 2 cycle.

Kylie Dickerson, Bo Johnson and Gabe Otero Munoz will conduct research at two DOE National Laboratories. 

Dickerson and Otero Munoz will conduct research on the fundamental symmetries of nuclear physics at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Johnson will study experimental research in high energy physics at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.

“In recent years, several of our students have been able to take advantage of these SCGSR fellowships from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science,” said David Baxter, professor and chair of physics in the IU College of Arts and Sciences. “These fellowships give students a chance to work with staff scientists at the National Labs, gain access to phenomenal facilities and network with the scientific community of users of national facilities in many areas of physics. This is a key example of how our department’s connections with the National Labs enhances the educational opportunities for our students.”

The DOE’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research program offers world-class training and access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources, helping to prepare graduate students to enter jobs of critical importance to Department of Energy’s mission.

“The SCGSR program provides a way for graduate students to enrich their scientific research by engaging with researchers at DOE National Labs, learning from world-class scientists and using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. In addition, they get valuable opportunities to network and observe firsthand what it’s like to have a scientific career,” said Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, director of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. “I can’t wait to see what these young researchers do in the future. I know they will meet upcoming scientific challenges in new and innovative ways.”
