Former group members
	Senior thesis student TJ Deane, while testing a resistance heater he built for the diamond anvil cell. TJ is going to grad school at Penn State.
	Noah Miller, M.S. is "beaming" in front of the optical table.
	Synthesizing high pressure perovskites brings a smile to Caroline Harbitz, former UMd physics major. Caroline is now in graduate school at the University of Washington.
	Nina Wernecke, working on her Geology senior thesis project.
	Oluchi Ofoha, a UMd physics major, showing off a diamond anvil cell.
	Helen Nguyen was a University of Maryland undergraduate, majoring in Geology. Here she is loading a sample in a diamond anvil cell.
	Tommy Tamarkin, a UMd chemical engineering major, developed our method of loading an argon pressure medium in the diamond anvil cell. Tommy is now a graduate student in Geology at UMd, working in the Laboratory for Rock Physics.
	Graham Taylor, an intern from the Science and Technology Program at Eleanor Roosevelt High School, is shown here processing x-ray diffraction data. Now he’s a physics major at UMd.
	Rob Thomas (UMd undergraduate) worked on a collaborative project between our lab and Yingwei Fei’s laboratory at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Rob is now in graduate school at UCLA.
