Science Connects to Innovation The Science Connects to Innovation Program empowers undergraduate students in the sciences to develop entrepreneurial enterprises to devise solutions that can go anywhere – providing cleaner energy, eco-friendly pesticides, possible new anticancer compounds, sustainable foods, or fabricating high-tech assistive devices. learn more Ramp Up Ramp Up...
Stress-related mental illnesses like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are twice as common in women, but relevant pre-clinical research on the mechanisms of stress and fear has primarily been conducted in male animals. Our work explores the relationships between neural structure and function when both males...
Louise Skinnari's research is in experimental particle physics, using the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to probe fundamental questions about nature and our universe. Her research focuses on physics involving top quarks - the heaviest of all known elementary...

Research Opportunities Our students and scientists specialize in many exciting areas of physics including quantum materials and nanotechnology, biophysics and the study of complex systems, elementary particle physics and astronomy, and research in innovative education. Through research, our students develop a practical expertise and intellectual passion for their chosen field....
Heather Brenhouse is a professor and director of Graduate Studies for the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University. She received her BS in Psychobiology from Binghamton University, her MS in Behavioral and Systems Neuroscience from Rutgers University, and her PhD in Experimental Psychology from Northeastern University. She did her postdoctoral...
Professor Alverson is a member of the CMS collaboration at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. The CMS collaboration is currently taking data at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN which provides the world’s highest available energy collisions. His specialty in recent years has been software, particularly three dimensional visualization of high energy events,...
Darien Wood is currently studying high energy (13 TeV) collisions of protons with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In particular, he is studying events which contain a Z boson and a large amount of missing transverse momentum. These events tell us about the production of pairs...
Professor Barberis’s research in experimental particle physics is focused on the study of matter at the smallest distance scale. She is currently working on CMS experiments. On the CMS experiment at the LHC collider at CERN, Prof. Barberis is studying collisions of protons at the world’s highest center of mass energy (currently 13...
Geoffrey Davies led the Humic Acids Research Group that studied the isolation, properties and structures of humic acids (HAs), the brown biomolecules responsible for water retention, metal binding and solute adsorption in soils and sediments. HAs in the earth contain more carbon than in all living things. HAs stick to...
Just about every field of research is confronted with networks. Metabolic and genetic networks describe how proteins, substrates and genes interact in a cell; social networks quantify the interactions between people in the society; the Internet is a complex web of computers; ecological systems are best described as a web...
