	Alan Wall Research: Acoustics Advisor: Kent Gee I am studying jet and rocket noise. I like being with my family; the gospel; research; raquetball; piano; Dickens, Shakespeare; Chess, Trivial Pursuit; Mozart, Pavarotti; Christmas; Star Wars.		Mathew Shaw Research: Acoustics Advisor: Brian Anderson I'm researching acoustics, but more specifically, ultrasonic transmission through barriers. I like to play the piano and the guitar, I'm on the BYU racquetball team, I like cooking, hiking, sports, and reading.
	Heidi Dumais Advisor: Dr. Steven Turley Interests: drawing, reading, carving, hiking Research: XUV optical systems		David Krueger My advisor is Kent Gee My interests are hanging out with family, playing frisbee, reading, and learning how things work. I am researching nearfield acoustical holography on a military jet plume.
	Brian Davis I work for Robert Davis on making carbon nanotube transistors using dielectrophoresis. I can give you more than that if you need more detail. I like to spend time with my family (wife Bethany and son Benjamin, 6 months old), read the scriptures, and recycle Maple barf.		Chris Verhaaren I work for Eric Hirschmann. My field of research is mainly General Relativity.
