Thank you for joining us! ACCESS, established 1991, is a first-year experience that culminates in a semester of research. Each spring semester, ACCESS students work directly with faculty and graduate students to contribute to an existing research project or develop their own. This is just the beginning as over 75% of our students will continue to engage in research throughout their undergraduate education.  ACCESS scholars frequently publish before graduating and numerous alumni have been recognized for their contributions to research, byway of scholarships, including the prestigious Churchill and Goldwater awards, as well as other distinctions.

The 2019 - 2020 cohort is ready for the next challenge, having been primed for research,  academic success, and as new peer mentors who will pay it forward in the years to come as generations of ACCESS students have done before them.

This year students were asked to quickly pivot and adapt to presenting online. We are so proud of the grit and determination demonstrated by the 2019 - 2020 students.

Congratulations ACCESS 2019 - 2020!

Project Title: Attempted Verification of Astronomical Pointing using Sun and Moon Shadows by the Telescope Array

Research Group: Charles Jui, Physics & Astronomy, College of Science

Introduction: The earth is constantly bombarded by high energy particles called cosmic rays, but we are still unable to determine their origin. The instruments used to observe a cosmic event must be highly accurate. By measuring the theoretical sun and moon shadows (where there is an absence of cosmic rays), we attempt to determine the accuracy of these instruments.
