Spin Properties of Electrons in the Semiconductor Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
Dr. John Colton, Department of Physics & Astronomy Proposed Research The proposed project was to study spin properties of electrons in the semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs). Four specific experiments were discussed: Optically-detected magnetic resonance of single quantum dots Parallel picosecond single qubit operations Optically-detected magnetic resonance of spin-LEDs Universal scheme for optically-detected spin flip lifetime […]
Down Syndrome Pathway Analysis
Dr. Mark Clement, Department of Computer Science Many of the most serious medical problems that plague humanity are caused by problems in the genetic regulatory network. Heart disease, cancer and many other maladies could be cured if we understood how genes interact with each other in order to produce different symptoms. Many of these problems […]

Programming Literacy Needs to be a Core Content Standard: A Case Study of Teaching 7th and 8th Grade Students Computer Programming
Dr. Geoffrey Wright, School of Technology Just as typing has replaced calligraphy and hand-writing as the most common form of written language, programming is ready to replace many domains of the English language. Regardless of whether you perceive this, as negative or positive, programming is how many students are communicating. In a recent study (paper) […]
Beetle Tree of Life project
Dr. Michael Whiting, Department of Biology Funding was received from the BYU ORCA mentorship program during 2010 to support undergraduates performing research in my lab, under the mentorship of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and myself. During 2010, this funding provided direct support for 8 undergraduates who are in various stages of completing research projects. The […]
The Video Club
Drs. Peter Rich and Geoffrey Wright, School of Technology Overall Evaluation The goals of this project was to bring students together to research the use of video analysis in varied contexts. Through two different projects, we were able to successfully carry out research in four different contexts: seminary, a private school for autistic children, the […]
