Ph.D. Project abstracts

We are asking our recent graduates to send us a page that describes the thesis work in a form that is accessible to a
general physics audience (e.g. a 2nd year grad student). Preferably, it should have pictures or
figures, but no more than two. It should include the name of the student, the date of defense,
and the title of the dissertation. We also ask you to include a picture of yours, and (if
possible) identify your employment after graduation.
