Magnetic materials are used in many devices for various applications. To optimize the performance of these devices, we need to characterize the materials as best as we can. In this paper and presentation, I studied magnetic properties of an alloy, CoFeB, in a multilayer structure. CoFeB alloy is used in a new type of memory that is called “STT-MRAM”.
Congratulations to Loyola University New Orleans Environmental Science and Biology students in Dr. Aimée Thomas’ research lab for successfully presenting their research at the 2019 National Association of Biology Teachers Professional Development conference in Chicago. They competed in the Undergraduate Mentored Research poster competition.
Katie Rompf, ENVB '20, placed 3rd in the competition for her research and was awarded a cash prize and a one-year membership in the organization. Her research focuses on the Brown Widow, Latrodectus geometricus, an invasive, venomous species of spiders whose population increases in urban and suburban habitats, including New Orleans. The Brown Widow secretes a neurotoxic venom that immobilizes prey by attacking the nervous system.

Congratulations to Abby Perez (BIOL'20) and Chloe Dupleix (BIOL'20) for receiving the Loyola Strength in Diversity grant to fund the Late Nights at Loyola events that they will co-direct this academic year. We would love for all of you to come see what our students are doing to make a difference with kids who attend Anna's Place, a non-profit organization that aims to enrich inner city, economically disadvantaged, at-risk youth in the Nola area.

Congrats to Katie Rompf, ENVB '20, for all of her hard work this past year studying the natural history of brown widows. We have already learned so much about them and she starts another round of experiments this week. Here is the clip from a news story we recorded on Monday (Sept. 30) that aired on the 5pm news Tuesday (Oct. 1). Enjoy.
Dr. Hunter Cole will present her art at GLOW: An Illuminated Living Art Experience at the Zeitgeist Theatre on October 10, 2019 from 6:00-10:00 p.m. It will be a live, glowing, one-of-a-kind art experience! Walk into the darkened theatre illuminated by her never-before-seen art created with actual, living bioluminescent bacteria and interact with dancers glowing with bioluminescent bacteria.
