Congratulations to Harum Ahmed (Grad Student) for being interviewed by the College of Science in a research spotlight on Monday, February 5th! Harum's research is centered around active galactic nuclei and quasars, luminous active galaxies with accreting supermassive black holes in their centers. Through her research, Harum intends to contribute to the creation of the ultimate benchmark sample of quasars with rest-frame UV-optical spectral properties.

The American Chemical Society - Petroleum Research Found, selected Jens Neu's work for funding. Every oil deposit is associated with petroleum gasses (APG). These APG are often too sparse for commercial exploitation making them an unwanted by-product of oil extraction. The simplest way to handle APG is to flare it, which accounts for about 1 % of the world CO2 production.
