As he explains it, Dr. Broussard and his students "will be growing metallic films 100-1000 atoms thick and studying the modifications of their electrical and magnetic properties as a function of temperature....We can study the properties of thin films from room temperature down to eight degrees above absolute zero."
Dr. Broussard has been a member of Covenant's faculty since 2000 and also serves as director of the dual-degree engineering program. He specializes in thin film condensed matter studies.
This grant is the largest ever awarded to Covenant College by the NSF for scientific research. Dr. Broussard expects the grant to open up more doors for research opportunities in the future. It will also, as he points out, "allow us to attract students who are interested in carrying out research at the undergraduate level."
"For my students," said Dr. Broussard, "this is the opportunity to investigate one small area of God's creation and begin to see if their calling is to continue in that study."
