    ÁñÁ«»ÆÊÓÆµlab serves as hub for undergraduate research, scholarship

    August 27, 2025

    In Andrew Haddow’s office, a white board sits adjacent to his desk scrawled with notes indicating dates for scholarship deadlines, summer program applications, and progress on lab work. The assistant professor of microbiology said it’s all in service to his students, a color-coded guide to map success in the classroom, and as a researcher. Haddow joined KSU in 2021 after serving as a senior scientist for General Dynamics based at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). Since then, his lab has become a hub of student success. Each year, it hosts several high-level undergraduate research projects, often serving as a springboard for students to continue toward graduate studies.

    ÁñÁ«»ÆÊÓÆµphysics professor receives grant to help create precise simulations for particle colliders

    August 08, 2025

    ÁñÁ«»ÆÊÓÆµ researcher Andreas Papaefstathiou has received a three-year, $799,651 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to investigate the nature of nuclear matter through collisions of particles at high energies. The findings from Papaefstathiou’s research will help elevate the study of particle physics in the context of nuclear collisions at Kennesaw State, as well as help improve the understanding and interpretation of data coming out of the proposed Electron Ion Collider at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.

    Double Owl Pathways propels ÁñÁ«»ÆÊÓÆµstudent toward recognition in neuroscience research

    July 18, 2025

    Lindsey Knight’s fascination with scientific research began at a young age. As a 9-year-old, she participated in a science enrichment program that exposed her to the brain of a sheep. It was then, after learning about how the brain and the organism develop together, that she saw her destiny in neuroscience. An interest that started early continued at Kennesaw State, where she studies neuroscience while pursuing a Master of Science in Integrative Biology through the Double Owl Pathways program.
