Info on Current and Past Projects
At present there are just two undergraduates (UMBC Meyerhoff Scholars, Ruth Beyene and Jenna Czarnota) in the lab.  I have not accepted graduate students for several years in the run-up to retirement in 2007. 

I am indebted to many colleagues for advice, especially to Mike O'Neill and to Chuck Bieberich's Group.
