Much to Celebrate The statement ‘change is a constant’ sounds oxymoronic, but it aptly describes life at UNH. A record number of CEPS students graduated in May, paving the way for the entry of a talented and ambitious cohort of first-year students. This annual event not only reenergizes the college but provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate the transformational experiences that are part of the UNH and CEPS experience.

We have much to celebrate. Two CEPS students were named Goldwater Scholars in the past year, and faculty awards continue to roll in. Our Innovation Scholars program, where first-year students can participate in directed research projects, is flourishing. A record number of undergraduates (525) participated in the Undergraduate Research Conference this past April, and our graduate enrollments continue to increase. The research enterprise is flourishing from the depths of the ocean to deep space, including an exciting $108 million contract with NASA (more on the next page).

I encourage you to read through the CEPS Insider and learn about the dynamic world of the college. Whether you graduated recently or a few years ago, we’d love to welcome you back to UNH and the college. Your engagement with faculty, staff and students will clearly demonstrate how UNH is still transforming lives, and we would love to explore with you how we can partner together to enhance the UNH mission.

Climate at the core

Julie Palais ‘78 honored with Distinguished Alumni Award When Julie Palais ‘78 completed an assignment in the final days of her undergraduate career at UNH, she had no idea it was the seed that would sprout an award-winning career as a polar glaciologist at the National Science Foundation.

But that assignment, a proposed research visit to the Athabasca Glacier in Canada that came to fruition, would only be the first trip to dozens of glaciers in Antarctica in her effort to help forge the United States as a leader in glaciology research.

For those efforts, Palais was named the 2019 College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Distinguished Alumni Award recipient. The CEPS Alumni Society gives the award annually in recognition of outstanding contributions to society with an emphasis placed on enhancing the image of UNH. “Julie’s service at the National Science Foundation has positioned her as a leader of the glaciology scientific community,” says Chuck Zercher, dean of CEPS. “Her impact on the science and on the profession has been impressive.”

Palais accepted the award from Zercher and former recipient and CEPS Alumni Society representative Muriel Robinette ‘74 during a ceremony held Sept. 27. During the event, continued on page 7

I N N O VA T I V E S P A C E S & F A C E S UNH lands $108 million NASA grant to study ecosystems

Pictured (l-r): UNH President Jim Dean, Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space Director Harlan Spence, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and research associate professor of Earth sciences Joseph Salisbury.

The University of New Hampshire received an $107.9 million research contract from NASA, the largest ever awarded to UNH by NASA, to develop a space-based instrument to study coastal ecosystems near the Gulf of Mexico.

It is the second largest awarded to a university by NASA in the last decade.

The interdisciplinary project team includes numerous UNH space scientists and is led by research associate professor of Earth sciences Joseph Salisbury. Together, they will develop the Geosynchronous Littoral Imaging and Monitoring Radiometer (GLIMR) instrument to observe ocean biology, chemistry and ecology throughout the

Gulf of Mexico, the southeastern U.S. coastline and Amazon River plume that stretches to the Atlantic Ocean.

“I am absolutely enthused by this selection by NASA to fund GLIMR,” says Harlan Spence, director for the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space. “GLIMR provides novel measurements that are key to addressing important coastal science and have clear impacts for society. It also underscores the value of our interdisciplinary institute; our staff came together in a new way to produce UNH’s largest-ever single award.”

Less than a month after UNH received the contract, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine and U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

visited campus for an up-close look at the university’s Space Science Center and the faculty members, researchers and students engaged in NASA partnerships.

“It was some of the brilliant minds and the great ideas that came from this institution that led to this award,” Bridenstine said of the recent contract to UNH for GLIMR, a space-based instrument that will study coastal ecosystems.”

Bridenstine and Shaheen toured several key UNH-NASA partnerships, including GLIMR, led by Salisbury.

“Oceans and coastlines are facing increasing pressure from the impacts of land use decisions and climate change.

However, it can be difficult to frequently monitor these impacts via satellites due to their position in orbit; at best, they might pass over the Gulf of Mexico once per day,” Salisbury says.

GLIMR will pass by 8-10 times per day, taking highly detailed measurements of the ocean’s color. This will help scientists to identify various phytoplankton species — the base of the marine food chain — and how they respond to their environment. Scientists will also be able to track the plankton that contribute to harmful algal blooms and to monitor and project the movement of those blooms, along with the spread of sediments, oil spills or other pollutants.

Turgeon, who worked with professor James Malley as her senior project advisor. The students also received design assistance from Tom Ballestero and Robin Collins, both professors of civil and environmental engineering.

A grant from the UNH Emeriti Council Student International Service Initiative helped fund the project.

Once in Malawi, the group helped dig a trench, construct a cement block wall and install the stone filtration system.

“I had seen how desperate the people in Malawi were for clean water,” says Turgeon, who has visited Malawi

CEPS students receive Goldwater Scholarship Two CEPS students received the prestigous Goldwater Scholarship, which provides scholarships up to $7,500 a year to help cover costs associated with tuition, mandatory fees, books and room and board. Goldwater is viewed as the premier scholarship for sophomore and junior STEM students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. and have a career in research. Schools are only allowed to nominate four students.

Winners regularly have an average GPA of 3.85 or above.

Alana Gudinas ‘20, a physics major, and Sawyer Cawthern ‘21, who is studying chemistry, are among 496 students in the U.S. to receive a 2019 award.

“This award has helped me, above all, build my confidence in my ability to conduct meaningful research,” Gudinas, an Atkinson, New Hampshire, resident says. “Receiving the Goldwater was an acknowledgment of my potential to become a successful physicist, and I feel assured that this is the right path for me.

result of the award that is considered one of the preeminent undergraduate scholarships of its type in the fields of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering.

“I plan to pursue a Ph.D. in either condensed matter or nuclear physics, conduct research in a physics field, and become a university professor,” says Gudinas. “My research focus is largely in condensed matter physics, making timeresolved measurements on systems with scanning tunneling microscopy.”

“To me, it is an honor to know that my research and academic interests are impressive to other scientists and, to an extent, affirms for me that I will be successful in a graduate program and in a career in research,” says Cawthern, who received the scholarship as a sophomore. “Being a Goldwater Scholar has also connected me with the Goldwater community. It has been helpful and incredible to hear about the other scholars’ research and aspirations.

Cawthern, of Sharon, New Hampshire, also has had a boost in confidence as a

“After receiving my undergraduate degree from UNH I plan to go to

graduate school to continue research and obtain a Ph.D. working with polymer nanostructures within organic and materials chemistry. Eventually, I would like to apply my research to drug delivery and development.”

“UNH students continue to earn recognition in national fellowships competitions; this is a testament to our strong student body, academic programs and research mentorship,” says Jeanne Sokolowski, director of the Office of National Fellowships.

The Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation was established by Congress in 1986 to honor the lifetime work of Sen. Barry Goldwater, who served his country for 56 years as a soldier and statesman.

as a high school student. “They were drinking from contaminated springs. They had virtually no access to health care. So many of them were malnourished; if they got sick from the water, they could die.”

Turgeon and Smith previously traveled to Africa during winter break for a scoping study — a practice established

by Engineers Without Borders and adopted by Malley for his projects — that involves going to a location to gather information, evaluate logistics and forge relationships with community leaders before work begins.

Department News - Continued from previous page

Mechanical Engineering Professor Brad Kinsey is the primary investigator on a $21 million EPSoR grant recently awarded to develop the New Hampshire Center for Multiscale Modeling and Manufacturing of Biomaterials (NH Bio-Made). The center’s mission is to create new knowledge and drive technological innovation and train workforce in the areas of biotechnology and advanced manufacturing. Three department faculty and additional graduate students are working on the grant.

In May, the department held a graduation ceremony where students had their names read in front of their mentors, friends and family. The event was initiated by a strong undergraduate grass root effort and made possible by the efforts of professors Todd Gross and May-Win Thein.

The department has also seen a variety of changes in the last year and more to come. Tracey Harvey retired after many years of service and Lauren Foxall moved to another department. The two were replaced by Kelly Danforth and Pamela Lovejoy. Professor Christopher White is the new department chair, and three new faculty members will join the department this coming spring, including professors Tracey Mandel, Jenin Ha and Bingxian Mu.

Ocean Engineering The Center for Ocean Engineering is now led by new director Martin Wosnik, who replaced Diane Foster — the new director of the School of Marine Sciences and Ocean Engineering (SMSOE).

The recent 12,000-square foot addition of teaching, laboratory and machine shop space to the Jere A. Chase Ocean Engineering Laboratory, spearheaded by Foster, is in full operation. The new laboratories and renovated high bay area are the hub of activity

for our 26 ocean engineering graduate students. In October, Chase hosted another successful Ocean Discovery Day led by Sally Nelson, welcoming 2,400 visitors, including 1,700 school children, over two days to partake in an amazing array of oceanthemed exhibits.

Physics & Astronomy The department had another strong year of growth, welcoming assistant professor Chanda Prescod-Weinstein in astrophysics (joint with women’s and gender studies) and assistant research professor Réka Winslow in heliophysics and planetary space weather. The American Institute of Physics cited our department as one of 21 Ph.D. granting physics departments awarding women more than 30 percent of doctorate degrees and one of 25 with six or more women faculty. We started an astronomy minor and our undergraduate enrollment has stabilized to 100 students after years of growth.

Senior Alana Gudinas earned a nationally prestigious Goldwater scholarship, senior Asher Merrill summered at Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics searching for dark matter as a UNH IROP fellow, and graduate student Matt Roberson won a dissertation year fellowship award.

Professor Charlie Farrugia earned two Excellence in Research Awards from CEPS and UNH, Karsten Pohl won the CEPS Outstanding Teaching Award, Toni Galvin and Joseph Dwyer became AGU fellows, while Francois Foucart won a Department of Energy CAREER Award. As well, Ben Chandran became an American Physical Society fellow and Shawna Hollen was elected to the Division of Condensed Matter Physics executive committee in 2018. Staff members Katie Makem-Boucher and Michelle Waltz both celebrated 30 years with UNH and electronics technician Jim Williams retired after 46 years with us.

Physics’ Dwyer & Galvin named AGU Fellows Two CEPS professors were named Fellows of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), a prestigious award that honors exceptional scientific contributions to Earth and space sciences.

Joseph Dwyer, professor of physics, and Antoinette ‘Toni’ Galvin, research professor in physics and astronomy, were among 62 international scientists recognized for work that has significantly advanced research in their fields. Each year, fewer than 0.1 percent of AGU members are bestowed this lifelong fellowship. Galvin is the first research scientist from UNH ever appointed, and she and Dwyer join Lynn Kistler, director for the UNH Space Science Center, as the only three current university employees who are AGU Fellows.

Dwyer is a physicist who has spent the last 18 years doing research to better understand thunderstorms and lightning, including how lightning initiates and propagates and how thunderstorms emit powerful burst of gamma rays called 6

terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.

Galvin is a heliophysicist who develops instruments to study solar wind, plasma, the sun and interplanetary space. She has assisted in the development of more than 20 space instruments for 10 NASA missions throughout her career, including being a principal investigator on the NASA STEREO mission.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Matt Low Named Engineer of the Year Matthew Low, PE, a 1992 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, was named the 2019 New Hampshire Engineer of the Year award winner by the Joint Committee of New Hampshire Engineering Societies.

Low, a civil engineering alum, is humbled to receive the award and considers it a tribute to his mentors, colleagues, friends and family that supported him during his tenure at UNH and beyond.

“Receiving the award was a big surprise for me as I consider the long list of prior recipients to be mentors and icons in the engineering field,” says Low, a senior vice president at Hoyle, Tanner & Associates, Inc. in Manchester.

The award marks the second time Low was honored by the organization; in 2002, Low received the New Hampshire Young Engineer of the Year award. In 2006, he was a member of the Union Leader’s 40 Under Forty which recognized up and coming business and community leaders.

Low joined Hoyle, Tanner in 1999 and advanced to his current role where he is responsible for an array of engineering and operational initiatives. Low’s technical expertise includes design and

management experience related to large and complex transportation infrastructure components such as bridges and roadways, and he is a licensed professional engineer in six states. He has also served on numerous professional boards and associations, including his current role as a member of the UNH civil engineering industrial advisory board.

Low knows that UNH set him up to succeed professionally, but not just because he showed up to his classes; his professors encouraged genuine learning.

“I was well prepared with practical engineering application skills as well as an ability to learn on the job,” says Low. “We were really pushed to not just understand the theory behind what we were learning, but how to apply it in the real world with common sense.”

One of the best parts of Low’s UNH experience is remaining in contact with his professors, including Nancy Kinner, Jean Benoit, Robert Henry, Tom Ballestero, and Robin Collins.

“A common conversation starter with any UNH civil engineering alumnus is Nancy Kinner’s famous CE645 (now ENE645) class,”

says Low. “It made us grow up quickly!”

Low has fond memories of UNH outside the classroom as well. He assisted in founding Phi Kappa Sigma, attended hockey and football games, played in a cover band and developed lifelong friends.

Low’s connection to UNH has remained strong through the years and has become the choice of both his children to complete their undergraduate degrees.

“I think the UNH connection has grown stronger for me as the years have passed,” says Low. “I am also proud that my son Ian recently graduated from Paul College with a degree in business administration and that my daughter Aislinn is now a freshman studying honors neuroscience in COLSA.”

in the development of the U.S. ice core community that analyzes ice cores for evidence of climate change. Early in her career, there were only a few labs and a lack of groups that could properly collect, analyze and sample ice cores. As program manager of the NSF Glaciology program, Palais helped build the infrastructure and personnel in the United States.

“The U.S. science community is at the top when it comes to the ability to plan and execute cutting-edge ice coring programs and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about how climate is changing,” says Palais.

Palais completed her Ph.D. in geology at the Ohio State University. She then spent two years working as a volcanologist while completing a post-doctorate program at the Graduate School of Oceanography at

the University of Rhode Island. Palais then became a visiting scientist at the NSF that began what was a 26-plus year career with the agency. It also allowed her to meet her husband, Rick Stevens.

“While my Earth science courses no doubt helped prepare me for a career in science, the electives I took at UNH helped to make me a well-rounded person who was able to enjoy many different facets of life,” says Palais.

Upon retiring from her position at the NSF in 2016, Palais earned a master’s degree in anthrozoology from Canisius College in 2019. She works part time as a consultant at the Animal Welfare Institute in Washington, DC and plans to utilize her expertise to make positive change through her travels.

$750,000 in scholarships were awarded to more than 200 students in the college.

“I never imagined that I would be honored not once, but twice by my alma mater,” says Palais, a Massachusetts native who was also awarded an honorary degree from UNH in May. “I am truly grateful, and I hope that my experiences will encourage others to dream big and recognize how well they are being prepared by their professors, their courses and their lives at UNH.” Palais has a long list of accomplishments, awards and recognitions that include two geological features in Antarctica bearing her name -- Palais Glacier and Palais Bluff. She’s most proud of playing a role
