Caleb Marrero ’25 is an aspiring physical therapist who has visions of opening a private PT practice where he can specialize in treating athletes and contribute to his field via research. In UNH’s McNair Scholars program, he found the ideal platform to help get him there.

The UNH Center for the Humanities is proud to be supporting the innovative work of three College of Liberal Arts (COLA) faculty members this academic year. Amy Michael (anthropology) has just completed her semester-long leave advancing a research project that focuses on community memory in response to long-term missing persons cases in rural spaces. This project pilots two nested studies exploring how forensic anthropologists’ work can be relevant to living persons affected by unresolved disappearances.

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire have published a groundbreaking study in Physics Letters B, a leading journal in nuclear physics. Led by postdoctoral researcher David Ruth and co-authored by UNH professor Karl Slifer and others, the paper provides new insights into the hyperfine splitting effect, which governs how electrons interact with atomic nuclei.

UNH researchers have harnessed artificial intelligence to produce and label the largest-ever database of aurora images  — about 700 million total — that could lead to better prediction of potentially harmful geomagnetic storms.

In the 1980s while visiting the USS Pampanito in San Francisco as a graduate student, Jim Connell wondered if the concept of submarines’ opposed-piston diesel engines could apply to fusion.

Recently, the fruits of that inspiration that eventually led to Connell’s U.S. patent, “System of Converging Plasma Pistons,” were recognized by the Boston Intellectual Property Association at its 14th Annual Invented Here! event.

For Connell, it honored his groundbreaking exploration, marked a milestone in his career—and potentially, in the future of energy production.

UNH's Space Tech Hub, which connects the commercial space sector with space research and expertise at UNH, has signed its first-ever partnership, with Laconia's Rogue Space Systems.

University of New Hampshire President Elizabeth Chilton was among a group of UNH faculty and staff members named to the 2025 New Hampshire 200 list, released earlier this month by NH Business Review (NHBR).

Students in UNH’s communication sciences and disorders program have the benefit of utilizing state-of-the-art audio recording equipment in the College of Health and Human Service’s (CHHS) recently established listening lab, a resource made possible in large part by gifts from donors.

Over the summer, through the Winant Fellowship, Jaida Michetti interned at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center where she learned how she can serve her community. Her time at the hospital was not only educational but impacted the lives of the patients she worked with. 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for some, but for others, the holidays can be challenging. Instead of a time of joy and celebration, the season can be a source of sadness and depression, especially if they are missing a loved one or find themselves alone. Katie Godshall, a clinical assistant professor in social work and expert in the field of mental health, says the first step is to realize that these feelings are perfectly normal.
