Barty Group graduate student Leslie Heid has received an NSF GRFP Honorable Mention for her proposal titled “Laser Compton Scattering Cavity Optimization.” Leslie will be building and optimizing a laser recirculation cavity that she hopes will be used to improve the brightness of Laser-Compton Scattering (LCS) sources.

Her reviewers made very positive comments about her application: “This applicant has the trifecta of science skill, perseverance, and broader understanding that are what this program is looking for.” “Remarkable candidate! In spite of all difficulties, this applicant was able to keep focus on future and develop a very strong interest in science.”

Congratulations Leslie!
