Emmanuel Boadi Agyekum ’26 has wanted to be an engineer since he was a boy growing up in Ghana. In August 2022, he arrived in the U.S. to study electrical engineering at North Central College. The next summer, he got an exciting opportunity to work on research that could change the face of physics.

The Muon g-2 experiment is a collaboration comprised of nearly 200 scientists from 33 institutions in seven countries—among them students of North Central College and Dr. Paul Bloom.

North Central College faculty and students continue their exciting work on Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment, with the latest findings suggesting the experiment “could change how we understand the universe.”
