 Gnawing on granola bar atop Humphrey's Peak, AZ (elev. 12,633 ft.) in stiff cold winds, December 1999. |
Finally Updated, Already.
A bit. What with a cute and very busy 2-yr old son, the house, and our 3 cats, I occasionally find time for a variety of extracurricular activities. My interests vary widely. The different sets of links below are partially representative, and are updated periodically. Though my project work in various research groups for the past decade has been semiconductor-related, I like all kinds of materials and my real interest is in materials characterization. My undergraduate education (& M.S.) was at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA . Still a nice place to visit every chance I get. Check out our Road Trip Travelogues. Eric wrote them up. I haven't gone through and fixed all his spelling yet. We still need to write up the '98 trip and the New Year's 2000 trip. |
