Ross has been with Ohio State's physics department and Center for Materials Research for four years while Judith has been at Oxford University in England. Judith's field of study is archaeology, and her award will fund research on the architecture of Alexandria, Egypt. Ross, who works closely with Ohio Eminent Scholar John Wilkins at Ohio State, was offered the award to study the electrical properties of a new generation of materials. These materials are plastics that can be made to conduct electricity as metals do and that have applications from carpets to computers. The award is to work in the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales, the best place for materials research in Australia, according to McKenzie.
