There are many excellent places to find job listings that are relevant to physicists; one of the more popular is Physics Today, published by AIP. This site provides links to additional employment resources for physicists.

Siddartha Naidu (’00). Siddartha obtained a $3,000 grant from the UE Advantage Undergraduate Research Program and did research on computational fluid flows. He presented his work at the national conference on undergraduate research in the spring 1999. In the year prior, Siddartha's research project was titled, “Turbulence Around a Rotating Cylinder.” “My research idea started when my friend asked why a Frisbee flies and what forces are involved,” said Siddartha. “It was easier to study a cylinder than an actual Frisbee because the Frisbee is three dimensional and is more difficult to study mathematically.” “Research can be rough. Sometimes it feels like you're beating your head against the wall because it's a lot of trial and error.” All of Siddartha's work was done on the computers in the Department of Physics computer laboratory.

Vassil Antonov (’00). Vassil Antonov came to UE in from the Technical University of Sofia which is in Bulgaria. He went on to attend the University of Illinois fall working toward a Ph.D. in solid state physics on a teaching assistantship. While at UE, Vassil was chosen to participate in the Science Alliance Summer Research Program at the University of Tennessee. He was supported with a $3,200 stipend for 10 weeks. He also received a grant from the UE EXCEL program to develop eight applets for instruction of math and science material. He used the computers in the physics computer lab to develop the programs.

Marc Mitchell. Marc Mitchell, from Poseyville, Indiana, came to UE in fall 1996. While at UE he obtained two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Bachelor of Science in Engineering. He maintained a 3.93 GPA while taking 19 and 20 hours per semester. Marc is attending Cornell University this fall, pursuing a Ph.D. in applied physics. Marc's undergraduate research experience was in applied optics on surface plasmon resonance, which carried over into the Department of Engineering. Marc was also a member of Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society on campus.

Timothy Swindle. “UE was perfect for me. The instruction in the Department of Physics was good enough that I could go on to a good graduate school and be competitive. Also, UE was small enough that I could pursue a variety of interests, get to know the faculty, and find out how best to combine and use my talents.” While at the University of Evansville, Swindle majored in journalism, math, and physics, eventually earning two bachelor's degrees. After graduating from UE, he worked as a journalist for a local newspaper for two years then went to graduate school for physics at Washington University in St. Louis. Swindle is currently an associate professor at the University of Arizona in the Planetary Sciences Department. In addition to teaching, he researches extraterrestrial materials such as meteorites and lunar samples.
