Ryan is a 5th year grad student in Applied Science and Technology. He has a secret desire to quit graduate school and become a rockstar. Ryan has had a dining commons meal plan for 19 semesters. Ryan likes writing music and teaches a DeCal course on the theory of popular music with Dave and Chris.
Dave is a 3rd year grad student studying Nanomagnetism. Sometimes when he's hungry he orders two entrees for dinner. Dave recently engineered an elegant and potent procedure to exterminate large populations of ants. Dave speaks English, Spanish, and nanomonster.
I'm a 3rd-year graduate student in the physics department. My current research involves parity violation in atoms. Feel free to stop by 217 Birge to check out the lab. My amateur musical talents are limited to recorder, clarinet, and the tambourine. (One time my roommate Punit and I performed and recorded a Woody Guthrie cover. I assisted with the clap track, so I suppose I'm also an amateur clapper.) In addition to physics and music, I enjoy running, swimming, and eating.
Alli is a second year grad student in Materials Science and Engineering. Fifteen years and counting on the flute, and she is obsessed with her pets. It's almost unhealthy.
Glory is a 4th year PEIS and Classical Civilizations major. She likes taking pictures in ballet poses. Glory is the lead singer of the Physics and Music staff band. Glory is annoyed, by, unecessary, comma, splicing. Glory acheived international stardom in her role of "Nano Girl" in the YouTube sensation, the nanosong.
Cheney is a 4th year MCB student. She sight-reads piano music much better than Ryan. Cheney's name is pronounced "Chennie." Cheney is offended when Ryan laughs at her for being Canadian. OOOOH CANADA!!!
April is a recent alumna of Physics and Music and is excited to be joining the staff this year!
Chris received his Ph.D. in AS&T in 2009. He made this website, so if it messes up, you can blame him, instead of ryan. Chris calls ryan ryno. Ryna and Chris are going to either have a famous rock band or a lucrative start-up company in a few years.
