Welcome to our research labs
To explore the universe, to find something new, to understand what we did not understand before. That is the nature of physics, that is the nature of research.

Dr. Robert Dunn
is developing a 51 meter ring laser gyroscope to measure seismic waves and related phenomena. Though these effects are very small, the ring laser should be able to detect a difference of 1 part in 10 million. The ring laser work is funded by NSF and the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium.

Dr. Ann Wright
is doing research in the field of measurement techniques and detector design. Her current research includes measuring thrust and specific impulse of a Hybrid Rocket. This work is funded by NASA. She is also involved in mentoring Hendrix's FIRST robotics team.

Dr. Damon Spayde
performs research in experimental nuclear physics. He is interested in exploring the structure of the universe at extremely short length scales, smaller than the nucleus of an atom. This research takes him to accelerator facilities such as the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility where he is involved in experiments to measure magnetic properties of the proton (G0) and fundamental constants of the Standard Model (Qweak).
