Transcript Staff

Poopalasingam Sivakimar and Nan Jiang were selected February's Norman Lions Club International Students of the Month.

Sivakimar, also known as Siva, is from Jafena, Sri Lanka. Jiang is from the People's Republic of China.

Sivakimar has been a department of physics graduate student since 2002 and is working toward a doctoral degree in physics. He has completed all degree courses and is working with a professor on the electric dipole moment of the electron. Siva and his professor are collaborating with other scientists on the project.

"The determination of the value of the electron's electric dipole moment is going to be a very important role in science in the future," Sivakimar said.

Sivakimar is a linguistics class consultant in the department of modern languages and linguistics, participated in OU's "Big Event" program and is a Sri Lankan Students Association officer. He also received a College of Arts and Science scholarship and Sooner Heritage award.

Sivakimar's father and mother are teachers. He has three sisters who live at home and three brothers, one living in Canada, one living in Chicago and one living in London.

Jiang enrolled in OU to pursue a master's degree in computer science, which she received in 2003, and has continued work on a doctoral degree in computer science. Her major is database management.

Jiang has completed all degree courses and is working with a professor on the research area of data stream mining. They cooperated with three state universities to develop a secure wireless sensor network system which can be used in applications including military, manufacturing and environmental monitoring purposes.

During Jiang's OU study years, she put efforts on academic and non-academic programs and activities, served in student organizations and volunteered on and off campus. From spring to fall 2003, she was Society of Chinese Students and Scholar (SCSS) mechanical chair in the OU Student Association. She also was International Advisory Committee (IAC) webmaster and is currently University of Oklahoma Database group (OUDB) webmaster, OU Association of Computer Machinery (OUACM) member and OUDB member.

Jiang has attended academic and non-academic campus activities including international leadership class and the society of women engineers. She volunteered during spring and summer 2003 at the OU Health Center to develop its Web site and serves in the Southern Oklahoma Chinese Baptist Church education department in Norman.

Jiang received the All-American Scholar Collegiate Award in July 2003 and the Sooner Heritage Scholarship for the 2004-05 academic years.

Jiang's father, a retired teacher, has served as an engineering projects consultant. Her mother is a doctor and a younger sister is studying in Canada.
