SIUE physics professor receives NSF Award

SIUE physics professor receives NSF Award

Dr. Edward Ackad of the Physics Department has received a Award in tandem with the Information Technology Services (ITS).
Although Dr. Ackad is working on the grant, the NSF Award is not being used fund Dr. Ackad’s personal research. The award itself is being used to build Internet infrastructure. Internet 2 is a high-speed link […]

Physics professors pioneer method to study untreatable strains of hepatitis C virus

Physics professors pioneer method to study untreatable strains of hepatitis C virus

Physics professors Mohammad Yousef and Edward Ackad
 
Physics professors Mohammad Yousef and Edward Ackad developed a method to predict the behavior of the Egyptian strain of hepatitis C virus, which has no known cure.
By studying the American genotype, they built a 3-D structural model that could lead to advances in medicine and, ultimately, a cure. Their […]

Physics professor finds support for theory on recombination effects of Xenon

Physics professor finds support for theory on recombination effects of Xenon

Four years of research across two universities resulted in physics professor Edward Ackad finding support for one of two theories regarding recombination effects of the gas Xenon.
Ackad’s research work, “Recombination effects in soft-x-ray cluster interactions at the Xenon giant resonance,” was recently published in the New Journal of Physics and theoretically explores a previously conducted […]
