Former Graduate Students
Thus far, fourteen graduate students have earned their PhD degrees from my group. Presently, four are faculty members in universities, eight are in industry, and two are in government. Also, among these, twelve are US citizens, and three are women. I am happy to report that all of them have the kind of job they wanted. There follows a list of my former graduate students, the year of their PhD with me, and their present positions:

Jim Coe, '86, Associate Professor (Chem.), Ohio State University

Joe Snodgrass, '86, Senior Research Scientist, Taylor Technology, Inc.

Carl Freidhoff, '87, Program Manager, Northrop-Grumman Corporation

Kevin McHugh, '88, Advisory Scientist, Lockheed-Martin. (Kevin won a DOE, "R&D 100 Award", for technological innovation in alloy solidification in '98.)

Gang Ho Lee, '90, Associate Professor (Chem.), Kyungpook National University, Korea

Joe Eaton, '92, Assistant Professor (Chem.), North Dakota State University

Susan Arnold, '93, DR-II Chemist, U. S. Air Force Research Laboratory, (Space Vehicles Div.)

Harry Sarkas, '94, Senior Process Scientist, Nanophase Technologies, Corp.

Linda Kidder, '94, Director of Applications, Spectral Dimensions, Inc.

Jay Hendricks, '96, Staff Research Scientist, National Institute of Standards and Technology

Former Undergraduate Students
Typically, during the school year, there are a couple of undergraduates doing research with us, and often, an undergraduate has worked with us during the summer months as well. While many of these have gone to medical school, several have gone on to pursue careers in chemistry or physics. There follows a list of former Hopkins undergraduates who have worked in my group and who are pursuing careers in science, along with the approximate year of their bachelor's degrees, the name of the institution at which they did, or are doing, graduate work, and the area of specialization for their doctorate.

Bob Continetti, '83, University of California at Berkeley (physical chemistry), recently promoted to Professor at The University of California at San Diego.

Nathan Wimer, '92, University of Pennsylvania (nuclear physics)

Vivian Slager, '93, University of Illinois (physical chemistry)

Dave Sorkin, '93, Johns Hopkins University (biophysical chemistry)

Scott Witonsky, '97, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (physical chemistry)
