Assistant Professor of Physics Seth Major has been awarded a grant from the Research Corporation, America's first foundation for the advancement of science. Major's project is a science award renewal titled "Discrete Geometry Phenomenology and an Inner Product for Cosmology." Through the Cottrell College Science Awards (CCSA) program, faculty at undergraduate institutions are challenged to explore new areas of science, to make new discoveries that contribute to their discipline and to initiate new research program that can be sustained by other funding sources, as well as with institutional support. A key element in these research programs is that they involve undergraduate students in meaningful ways. Research Corporation is a private foundation, established in 1912, that aids basic research in the physical sciences at U.S. and Canadian colleges and universities.
