We are ready for the Poster Competition

This last week, Austin, Neta and Alexander have worked really hard to get data from the last set of experiments that will be presented during the 18th Undergraduate Symposium for Scholarly and Creative Work. This event that takes place just three days from now (April 13) provides undergraduate students with the unique opportunity to exhibit and share examples of their significant research and creativity with the university community.

From left to right: Austin, Veronica, Neta and Alexander. Friday afternoons are excellent for getting lab work done.

The poster competition ends with an Awards Ceremony and Banquet. We are very much looking forward to this event, and again we want to thank all of you for the overwhelming support.


This last week was great since I was able to share some particularly good news with my research group that I was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. I personally want to say "Thank you so much!" to all my fantastic students that I have worked with throughout my years at USC!

About This Project

Alpheus heterochaelis, better known as the Pistol Shrimp, possesses an over-sized claw that creates a cavitation bubble upon rapid closure underwater. The implosion of this bubble results in a shockwave and a flash of light, the former of which the shrimp uses to stun its prey. The goal of this experiment is to use high-speed imaging to study the implosion, and to apply the findings to the creation of novel water heating and purification technologies.

Blast off!
