Montana State University physicists, Alan Craig, Yves Idzerda and Randy Reibel awarded $1 million for defense research

Three Montana State University physicists who do basic research relating to the military have been awarded $1 million from the U.S. Department of Defense.

Alan Craig, Yves Idzerda and Randy Reibel will use the money for separate projects that deal with surveillance, computer memory and hostile missiles, said Keith Cooksey, director of the Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research in Montana. Their projects together will involve 13 undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at MSU; four companies and seven federal laboratories. The grants require matching funds from non-federal sources.

"The grant allows me to keep my students working on exciting grants," Idzerda commented.
