    Kennesaw State biochemistry major gains experience from First-Year Scholars, summer internship

    October 14, 2024

    Inspired by his two brothers who attended Kennesaw State University, biochemistry major Jacob Erasmus has wasted no time getting involved on campus. Through KSU’s First-Year Scholars program, Erasmus found a laboratory and a research project within his first month on campus and parlayed that work into a summer internship at a nature-based ingredient company. Now he has continued his research and has shown no signs of slowing down as a Sophomore Scholar.

    Kennesaw State student combines passion for research and the outdoors through Birla Carbon Scholars experience

    October 04, 2024

    Having long been interested in science and the outdoors, Adamina Bilbrey recently leveraged her participation in the Birla Carbon Scholars program to study the conservation of an endangered plant native to Georgia. The Kennesaw State University environmental science major spent most of her summer studying a beneficial native plant called the royal catchfly in a field in Dade County, Georgia, and discovered the plant flourishes best in areas that experience both sun and shade.

    Kennesaw State graduate applies research skills to USDA fellowship

    August 22, 2024

    As an undergraduate student at Kennesaw State University, Ashley Belinfante scoured the campus searching for mosquitos to screen for viruses. Now, Belinfante uses those skills to aid the country’s agricultural community, identifying bacterial respiratory infections in swine and searching for solutions through a fellowship with Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) with the United States Department of Agriculture.

    Kennesaw State physics major pursues life-changing research

    August 19, 2024

    From her time at Osborne High School, Emily Manqueros knew she wanted to do research in physics, not just study it. The rising junior from Smyrna said classes in astronomy and physics taught her how physical forces effect everything around her, and she wanted to immerse herself in them. So, she came to Kennesaw State University for the opportunity to conduct research right away as a freshman. “Honestly, the research opportunities drew me to KSU,” said Manqueros, who is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in physics in Kennesaw State’s College of Science and Mathematics. “Other colleges mainly take graduate students for their research, and I knew that at KSU I could do meaningful research even if I was an undergraduate student.”
