Physics undergraduate major Kristen Collar has been conducting
research with Dr. Stanley Tozer at the National High Magnetic Field
Laboratory (Magnet Lab), on the growth of inorganic crystals and their
characterization. At the end of her first year at FSU, she applied for
an Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavors (URACE) Scholarship and
received the award of $1000.
She also applied to join the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU)
program at the Magnet Lab at Los Alamos. She was accepted into the LANL
program, and used the URACE award to help with her research at LANL.
While at LANL, she worked with Drs. Jason Cooley and Chuck Mielke.
Ms. Collar recently presented a poster based on that work at the
Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Awards Symposium, and her
picture appears in the article seen at
