Two Hudson County Community College Students Awarded Prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarships
HCCC students awarded scholarship for third consecutive year ×
Hudson County Community College (HCCC) students Adoum Allamine and Pedro Moranchel have been chosen from 1,500 applicants nationwide to receive the 2021 Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation recognizes exceptionally talented community college students seeking to complete baccalaureate degrees. Scholarship recipients are selected for their academic ability and achievement, financial need, leadership, persistence, and service. Only 72 students in the United States have been selected as recipients this year. This is the third consecutive year in which HCCC students have been named Cooke Scholars; Sarra Hayoune was a 2019 recipient, and Abdellah Amrhar received the scholarship in 2020.

Future entrepreneurs get outside their comfort zone in Energy I-Corps workshop
Alexandra Pantry, an electronics technician at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), joined PPPL’s Energy I-Corps workshop to learn entrepreneurial skills. Within a few weeks, she and other members of her team were talking to company executives all over the United States, the United Kingdom and South Korea.
Pantry worked with engineer Andrei Khodak and physicist Rajesh Maingi to discover commercial uses for a technology invented by Khodak that uses liquid metal lithium to absorb heat from the super-hot plasma in fusion experiments.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is inviting seventh- to tenth-grade girls to step into the world of science, technology engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at PPPL’s annual Young Women’s Conference on May 7, this year online. The free day of science from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be held on a virtual platform where young women can watch live and videotaped science demonstrations, talk to women working in STEM fields, and listen to an inspiring talk by a female scientist.

Scientists receive funding to study conditions that can disrupt communications satellites
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have received three awards from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) totaling over $2 million to conduct research that could help predict the potentially damaging effects of blasts of subatomic particles from the sun.
The three-year awards will fund research into a process known as magnetic reconnection, the coming together and explosive separation of magnetic field lines in plasma, that occurs throughout the universe. Scientists conjecture that magnetic reconnection helps cause the blasts, which produce vast amounts of electrically charged subatomic particles known as plasma. The onrush of particles, part of what is known as space weather, can interfere with communications satellites and electrical grids on Earth.
