Report from the Academic Front

So this is my adviser.

These guys will comprise my committee:

Martin Truffer, an expert in ice physics

David Newman, an expert in nonlinear dynamics (and the colleague of my awesome nonlinear dynamics professor, Renate Wackerbauer, who also has retired sled dogs. I had quite the internal debate of which of these two, whom I like so well, to ask to be on my committee. Dr. Newman "won" (if you can call taking on more work "winning") simply because my adviser knows him.

Rorik Peterson, an expert on frost heave

Gang Sheng, a tribology expert who will be joining UAF in April of this year. He is the author of this book.
