Tewa Kpulun<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Tewa Kpulun and I’m a physics major and a math minor . I will be graduating with the class of 2015. I’ve been working for VAOL since September 2012 with C. elegans<\/em>. My research consists of\u00a0studying\u00a0the locomotion of C. elegans<\/em> using shadow imaging and a PicoScope to determine their thrashing frequency. Outside of VAOL, I am the president of Jewett and the treasurer of Hype (a hip hop dance group).<\/p>\n

Brian Deer<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Brian Deer, and I am a Physics major from the class of 2015.\u00a0 I have been working with the VAOL since January 2013, and have mainly been exploring various changes in diffraction patterns.\u00a0 I have been studying the relationship between charge densities on diffracting materials and the resulting diffraction patterns, which has also led to the discovery of an interesting non-linearity in diffraction intensities.\u00a0 This work with diffraction and charge densities will hopefully lead to a dynamic diffraction study of Planarians, a flatworm species with powerful regenerative properties.\u00a0 My other interests include astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology.\u00a0Outside of VAOL, I run cross country and track.<\/p>\n

Ramy Abbady<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Ramy Abbady, and I am a Physics major in the Class of 2016. I started working in VAOL in May 2013 as a part of Vassar’s Undergruate Research Summer Institute (URSI) program. As part of my work, I have worked with Brian Deer on examining the effects of charge densities on diffraction, which led to our discovery of an interesting nonlinear phenomenon. Additionally, I have looked at inexpensive scientific technologies for use in Professor Magnes’ Lasers, Technology, and Teleportation course. Outside of VAOL, I am the president of Raymond House and an active member of the Queer Coalition of Vassar College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
