Barry University Assistant Professor of Physics Dr. Bartosz Fornal has received $80,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research in Undergraduate Institutions Program to support research exploring some of the universe’s most fundamental questions.
The two-year award will fund Dr. Fornal’s project, “Probing Gauge Extensions of the Standard Model with Primordial Gravitational Waves.” The research will examine gravitational waves produced during the earliest moments of the universe and explore what these signals could reveal about the fundamental laws of nature.
