Prof. Roche and King provide research opportunities for students to work both on the Athens campus and at Jefferson Laboratory. They are looking for summer interns as well as students working a few hours a week during the academic year. The proposed research projects will be focused on hardware, software or a combination of both. In some case students can be involved in the data taking of on-going experiments at JLab. The main focus is to gain experience by participating in research and getting to know professional physicists.
Here are a few examples of the work performed by interns in the
group: Z. Bernens,
J. Theibert,
M. Gomez.
K. Holmes,
R. Radloff.
Undergraduate students have written their undergraduate Honor
Thesis based on their work with us. For example read R. Radloff's thesis.
For graduate students:
Prof. Roche and King's group is funded to support the work of
graduate students working on their PhD or their Master. Please feel
free to contact us, or just drop by our office, to discuss
opportunities for graduate research in nuclear physics at JLab.
Here are a few examples of the work performed by graduate students with the
group:
N. Israel, R. Beminiwattha. To
consult their thesis, go to this
page and read below.
For non-OHIO U students (for example French Master students):
Prof Roche welcomes application of international students for summer
research experience. For example, she will work with students on longer
intership as part of the French Master diploma. Please contact me for
discussing topics. Be advised that for an internship starting in
April, one should start the visa process by the end January at the
very last. Here is the report wrotten by P. Pichard (2023) a Master
student from Nantes Universite.
The lists below intent to give an idea of objective achievements attained by
students while working with our group. This list goes back to 2012
and was last updated in Spring 2015.

- Talk/poster/defense:
- * July 2013: B. Waidyawansa successfully defends her PhD thesis during her 6th year in the OU graduate program. In August, Buddhini will join the physics division at JLab to work on preparations of 12 GeV experiment.
- * May 2013: Waidyawansa presents her work at the annual JLab user group poster competition and wins first place.
- * April 2013: R. Beminiwattha successfully defends his PhD thesis during his 6th year in the OU graduate program. Right after the defense, Rakitha joins the group of Prof. Souder at Syracuse University to work on PVES experiments at JLab.
- * June 2012: R. Beminiwattha and B. Waidyawansa, each present their work at the internation CIPANP 2012 conference.
