The event was attended by approximately 600 middle and high school students, families, research mentors from area universities, school leaders, teachers, and alumni from across Baltimore City. This year’s conference theme is "Failing Forward: Turning Setbacks into STEM Success."
Professor Mary Lowe speaks at a conference in California State University
Dr. Mary Lowe, Professor of the Physics department, was invited as workshop speaker at a conference on quantum computing entitled “QIST IN THE CSU: WORKSHOP 1 INTRODUCTORY QIST AND EDUCATIONAL MODULES.” QIST stands for quantum information science and technology. CSU stands for California State University. The workshop was held on June 2-4, 2025, in San Marcos, CA, at CalState San Marcos. Prof. Justin Perron was the organizer. The workshop was entitled “Active Learning Methods for Grover’s Algorithm.” There were about 35 faculty members in the audience from various disciplines: physics, computer science, and electrical engineering, mostly. The workshop went well and it appears that our program at Loyola is unique.
Kick-start of this year’s Hauber Fellowship program!
Please mark your calendars for July 23, July 30, and August 8, when our students present their research. We encourage Loyola community to come out and support them!
