Congratulations Dr Mandell
Wow, that's an old web page... he must have been busy for the last couple of years...
Here's our old press stuff on the first part of his thesis

The second part will be submitted soon. It is quite interesting also.
So... that was three PhDs in 12 days.
Interesting, not sustainable though. Depletes the source population too rapidly.
Congrats to all of you. Where are the newly minted doctors going?
U Col at Boulder, with a quick sidetrip to the fence at LANL;
Vanderbildt;
and, NPP fellow at Goddard, in order.
