UT Arlington Today - In Memoriam
Dr. Jia Li, a post doctoral fellow in the Department of Physics, and his wife, Yun Qian, died Monday, June 16, in an automobile accident in New York where they had traveled to visit their son, You Li, a student at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Dr. Li worked on the design and construction of a special energy measuring system for the ATLAS experiment in CERN — the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland.This system was built at UT Arlington and shipped to Switzerland, where Dr. Li guided its installation. For the last several years, Dr. Li and the High Energy Physics Group worked on a new type of detector for the future International Linear Collider — a 40km long accelerator that will collide electrons and anti-electrons at very high energies. He designed and built many prototype detectors for this project, working with colleagues in Chicago, and at Stanford University. Services have been held.

ARLINGTON—Elizabeth J. Mitchell, a graduate student in physics at The University of Texas at Arlington, has been awarded aNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Graduate Student Research Proposal (GSRP) fellowship to study the "Solar wind variations associated with geoeffectiveness of geomagnetic storms."
Beginning July 1, Mitchell will be working with Dr. Ramon E. Lopez at UT Arlington and Dr. James Slavin at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to better classify the variations within the solar wind that produce relatively large geomagnetic storms. The NASA GSRP fellowship will provide Mitchell with funds to support her graduate studies and research and to travel to two conferences to present her results. She expects to complete this research and herdoctorate in Physics in the next 12 to 18 months.
