Congratulations are in order for Sooraj Radhakrishnan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the 91�ֿ� College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Physics who performs research in experimental nuclear physics. His data analysis of some rare particles called “charm quarks” that may have existed in the first microsecond of the Big Bang, the emerging point of our universe, was highlighted in a recent issue of the .
