BS in Materials Science & Engineering from Hanyang University, MS in Materials Science & Engineering from Northwestern University

Constructing and designing novel electrode structure for lithium ion and post-lithium ion batteries based on structure-property-performance relationships.

Always wanted to be a comedian when I was a teenager since I had (even now) a very suitable face for that.

BS in Chemistry from Fort Lewis College

Crystallography! He enjoys shooting X-rays at anything he can and neutrons are even better.

Wesley has started a number of businesses including a t-shirt company and company booking and promoting concerts. That forced him to work a lot of different kinds of jobs to make ends meet, such as a hydraulic mechanic, carpenter, cook, and pizza boy. These jobs ultimately motivated him to go to graduate school and pursue his PhD, because he would rather work smarter than harder——little did he realize he would have to work smarter and harder.

BS in Biotechnology from University of Belgrade, PhD in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from Oregon State University

Deformation and plasticity, granular mechanics, discrete element modeling, and solid fluid interactions.

Although origionally from Poland Agnieskza considers Belgrade here second home. Agnieszka loves programming and computers, and when not making Balkan pastries, reads books on computer architecture to unwind. Her goal in life is to play football (soccer) for Barcelona.
