I have to prepare a list of professors who I want to meet when I visit Carnegie Mellon next weekend. Here's my current list of professors whose work sounded especially cool for some reason:

Michael Widom, quasicrystals and ferrofluids
Rupert Croft, computational cosmology
Robert Nichol, galaxies vs loopback time
Robert Griffiths, quantum computing
Richard Holman, cosmology and particle physics

(So many R- names! weird.) I was also irritated (by which I mean envious) to read that Prof. Jeff Peterson sends undergrads to the south pole on a regular basis.

Hmm. Anyway, you can look as well and tell me if I missed anybody particularly cool. There's a distinct lack of things having to do with LASERS on that list. Now that I look back on the list I'm not so sure. This whole grad school thing is much too complicated. I feel like I should have added some EE, CS, geophysics, and applied physics programs to the mix. I really hope I get into Berkeley.. anyway, the results should be in by the end of next week, I think.

I just bought a plane ticket to Durham, NC for my UNC Chapel Hill visit. Leaving Oakland on Thursday, April 1 on American Airlines flights 1182 and 1782, arriving 20:57. Returning Sunday, April 4 on AA flights 1171 and 1997, arriving 21:58.
