Alumni
We are fortunate to have worked with a talented group of students, postdoctoral research associates, faculty and GM staff during the past 20 years. It is gratifying to see them pursuing distinguished careers in industry, national labs and universities. We hope they have forgiven us for what we did to them during their time at Brown.
