Physics student off to Switzerland

 

Thomas Hepworth, a University of Winnipeg undergraduate Physics student, is spending the summer conducting experiments at the world’s largest particle physics laboratory at CERN in Switzerland. Hepworth is one of six students across Canada, and the second student in UWinnipeg history, to land a summer student fellowship from the Institute of Particle Physics (IPP).

Hepworth will spend July and August at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. Students selected for IPP fellowship get to work with active research groups at CERN and attend a series of lectures prepared by CERN-based researchers.
