Jason Stalnaker Receives Grant
June 22, 2017Jason Stalnaker, associate professor of physics, has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to look for dark matter. The grant is a collaboration with Derek Jackson Kimball at California State University, East Bay. The funds will be used to establish a precision optical magnetometer at Oberlin College that will be a part of a global network of optical magnetometers looking for anomalous spin couplings due to dark matter.
