Twelve students have completed their dissertations from work in our lab. In addition we have been fortunate to have PostDocs, research assistants and high school students contribute their ideas and work. This is a brief summary of the papers and students who have published based on work done in our lab. (Papers marked with "**" are based on the student's dissertation).
