Current Graduate Students
	Rana Ashkar Rana Ashkar is a graduate student working on the SESAME experiment which is designed to measure correlations along surfaces and in bulks. She developed a dynamical theory calculation to explain the results of SESAME on periodic samples. One of the projects she will be conducting is using neutron scattering to test high-density packing of nanocapacitors built using lithography or self assembly of block-copolymers.
	Fankang Li Fankang Li is a second year graduate student and working in Roger Pynn's group. He is now working on the design and construction of Superconducting YBCO Wollaston Prism for Spin Encoding on SESAME (Spin Echo Small Angle Measurement).
	Timothy Prisk Timothy Prisk is a graduate student investigating the collective excitations and momentum distributions of confined quantum liquids by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Under the guidance of Paul Sokol, he is participating in a number of X-ray and neutron scattering experiments at local and national facilities.
	Paul Stonaha Paul Stonaha is a 5th year graduate student in the LENS program. He is working under Roger Pynn on developing the Spin Angle Small Angle Measurement (SESAME) device, which will be built on Neutron Beamline 4. To this end, Paul has been participating in experiments at neutron sources at national labs over the course of his studies.
	Bo Wang Bo Wang is a second-year condensed matter physics graduate student. He is working in Paul Sokol's group to study the microstructure and porosity of carbon dioxide storage materials via the LENS and SAXS facilities.
	Tianhao Wang Tianhao Wang is a second-year condensed matter physics graduate student. He is working under Roger Pynn on designing a Cryogenic Super Conducting Wollaston Neutron Prism, which will introduce a spatial separation between two polarization states of a neutron.
	Adam Washington Adam is a fourth-year graduate student who is working on various aspects of data acquisition at LENS. He has also participated in experiments at both IPNS and LANSCE to conduct experiments on a spin-manipulation device of novel design.
	Enzhi Xu Enzhi Xu is a second-year condensed matter physics graduate student. Working in Paul Sokol's group, he is now helping to build a machine to distill helium 4 out from the mixture of helium 3 and helium 4.
