Lockheed Martin Grant Supports Student Research

Professor Saeid Rahimi of SSU’s Department of Physics and Astronomy has been awarded a grant by Lockheed Martin to carry out an experimental research project on fiber optic sensors. The $4,800 award is to be paid to two applied physics students for a project to be completed within the next 18 months. The project is to develop a computer-controlled optical fiber temperature sensor. The user will be able to manipulate the function of the sensor using a virtual instrument programmed on the computer.

Students interested in experiments and research projects on fiber optics and lasers are encouraged to contact Dr. Rahimi (saeid.rahimi@sonoma.edu).
