Kevin Seltzer, '10, wins prestigious Goldwater Scholarship for excellence in the sciences
A current junior at Loyola University (MD), Kevin Paul Seltzer ’10, has been awarded a $7,500 scholarship from the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education program, which honors students from across the nation who have outstanding potential and intend to pursue careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering.
Seltzer, of West Chester, Pa., is a physics and mathematics double major who developed a passion for the sciences while at Archmere.
“There’s a tendency in society to see science just in terms of technology, but that’s never been how I’ve seen science,” said Seltzer. “It’s really a way of thinking about the world, and I firmly believe that’s what makes science so useful to people because it allows us to step back and say, OK, there are certain problems in the world and if we use a logical process, that scientific method, we can get a definitive answer.”In his time at Loyola, Seltzer has completed two Hauber Summer Research Fellowships during which he conducted extensive research on the Casimir effect, an attractive force experienced by two uncharged metal plates when they are placed extremely close together.
