Joven Científica Venezolana Recibe Premio de la Casa Blanca.

Iowa State, Argonne physicist wins presidential award for neutrino research

Posted 6 hours ago

AMES, Iowa – Mayly Sanchez of Iowa State University and the Argonne National Laboratory has won a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the White House announced today.

The award is the highest honor awarded by the United States government to science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their research careers. Sanchez was nominated for the award by the National Science Foundation, which is supporting her work with a five-year, $709,000 grant from its Faculty Early Career Development Program.

“Discoveries in science and technology not only strengthen our economy, they inspire us as a people.” President Barack Obama said. “The impressive accomplishments of today’s awardees so early in their careers promise even greater advances in the years ahead.”

“I was just happy when I heard,” said Sanchez, an Iowa State University assistant professor of physics and astronomy with a joint appointment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Ill. “I’m really, really honored.”

Sanchez is an experimental physicist studying neutrinos. (The universe is full of the subatomic particles that rarely interact with matter; trillions of them pass through our bodies each day.) She’s currently affiliated with the proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment which would send the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., to the Homestake Mine in Lead, S.D. She is also working on the MINOS and NOvA experiments designed to study neutrinos sent from Fermilab to detectors in northern Minnesota.

Sanchez has been working to apply the next generation of the photodetectors that spot Cherenkov light, the blue glow emitted when a charged particle passes through water and other transparent materials faster than light. This occurs because materials can slow light more than they can slow subatomic particles.

Neutrino physicists surround huge pools of water with sensitive photodetectors to find any Cherenkov light emitted when chargeless neutrinos hit hydrogen and oxygen atoms and throw off charged particles such as electrons.

Current photodetector technology is very expensive. Sanchez and other researchers at Argonne are working to apply advances in materials science and nanotechnology to make photodetectors more effective and less expensive.

Sanchez expects to establish a photodetector testing laboratory on the Iowa State campus. Working in her research group are Ioana Anghel of Iowa State and Argonne and Gavin Davies of Iowa State, post-doctoral research associates; and Tian Xin, Tim Kutnink and Jose Andres Sepulveda-Quiroz, graduate students in Iowa State’s department of physics and astronomy.

Sanchez said the advancements in detector technology could also be a boost to medical imaging and other applications. And she said a better understanding of neutrinos could help researchers better understand the evolution of the universe.

The presidential awards were established by President Clinton in 1996. They are coordinated by the Office of Science and Technology Policy within the Executive Office of the President. Awardees are selected for their pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology and their commitment to community service as demonstrated through scientific leadership, public education, or community outreach.

na pelucaaa.. y en los dias de Higgs.

[USCitizen]

Ya lo he dicho antes pero lo vuelvo a repetir...


VIVAN LOS CIENTIFICOS VENEZOLANOS!!!



A lo largo de mi carrera (muy corta aun) he visto la gran calidad de nuestros científicos, trabajan con mucha mística, sub-pagados y sub-valorados solo por amor a lo que hacen...Muchos aun están alla en Venezuela y eso es mucho mas admirable.

[Eón]

Esa profesional venezolana ahora esta execrada y condenada al ostracismo por parte de la horda chavestia, por acceptar un premio del enemigo

[Sabroson]

Un saludo revolucionario y bolivariano a la camarada Mayly Sanchez por dejar en alto a Venezuela y a la revolución socialista, dirigida por n7estro líder el Commandante Hugo Chávez

La revolución avanza a pasos agigantados

VIVAN LOS CIENTIFICOS VENEZOLANOS!!!

Así se habla...que vivan....que la revolución los apoya

[John Locke]

Muchas felicidades a la joven científica

[CcsVen7]

Lacaya del imperio, deberia estar en Venezuela en una de las misiones adoctrinando a sus compatriotas. Que desperdicio de tiempo....


Hablando en serio, que orgullo que nuestros compatriotas pongan el nombre de Venezuela en alto, para que vean que no solo es chavez y su atraso lo que produce este gran Pais. Ya les falta menos, para que recuperemos nuestra dignidad.

camarada Mayly Sanchez

Camarada un carajo.... Esa chama es más PATRIOTA y contrarevolucionaria....

Por algo está en USA y no CUBA....


Les dolió a los chaburros... Jajajaja


Sóbense!!!!!!

Tranquilo, en lo que CAPRILES sea PRESIDENTE nos la traemos para el nuevo IVIC....

Fuera los cubanos

[Baron Harkonen]

De algo estoy 100% seguro, esta muchacha orgullo nacional, ni de vaina es Chavista.

CON EL CHAVISMO SOLO FLORECEN LOS DELINCUENTES.

[sm2180]

Aqui la tenemos....


PATRIOTA 100%

ORGULLO NACIONAL.....

[Solstrom]

Coño.... y porqué politizan este tema?....

[Matadora]

Felicidades para ella.

Producto del trabajo, esfuerzo y corazón que se le pone a alcanzar las metas.

[EL INMORTAL]

Felicitaciones, el estudio y la dedicación al trabajo siempre tienen el merecido reconocimiento. Esto se cumple no sólo a nivel individual sino a la escala de las naciones: Venezuela debe seguir tu ejemplo.

!!!!CONGRATULACIONES !!!

[herpetoloco]

felicitaciones! que lamentable que Venezuela no le puede ofrecer la oportunidad de desarrollar su investigacion y una calidad de vida para que viva en el pais.
