Conclusion• Cutting edge research projects• Modernize and improve education• Support for students and faculty• Opportunities for students – participate in
original theoretical and experimental approaches
• Productive in research publications, grants, and public outreach
• Strong collaboration with research institutions and industry that we would like to expand
Mesh-Micromegas Detector
The picture of wire mesh
• In collaboration with Jefferson national laboratory and textile institute at NCSU
• High speed and high resolution• Not expensive, reliable, works under high radiation
doses• Suitable for many application
