I'm working on a new project now that is a spectrometer that incorporates some tilting MEMS mirrors to achieve variable dispersion. Hopefully we'll make these lenses by melting cylinders of photoresist rather than the previous mass transport method. The easier the process is, the happier I'll be. Jenn's in school and working full-time, so we're both really busy. We've got an early start, but there's a lot of work to be done.
Life continues to go pretty well here.
I have begun taking some classes towards the PhD program. I will be defending my Master's thesis in a couple weeks. One wild and crazy guy. He runs and stands on tables. He draws dead cows, shoots toy dogs all in the name of teaching physics.
