Featured Research Student

Jaren Hergert (Class of 2019) is working toward a B.S. degree in physics. In the summer of 2017, he programmed an Arduino microprocessor to give a precision rolling cart scheduled puffs of nitrogen. This new technology was piloted in Generall Physics 107 lab as part of Professor's Lattery's research on student model-based reasoning in introductory mechanics.
