Julie Capodagli 212 Engineering Research Building (ERB) 608/263-9509 capodagli@wisc.edu	I am a second year graduate student and I work in the micromechanics group with Professor Roderic Lakes. My research involves investigating the dynamic properties of polymers with initial stress over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago in Physics in 2003.
Jonathan Puthoff M140 Materials Science and Engineering Building 608/262-1225 jputhoff@wisc.edu	I received my B.S. from the Materials Science and Engineering Department here at the U.W. back in 2001 and started as a grad in the Materials Science Program in 2002. Myself and my advisor, Don Stone, work on the mechanical properties of materials and are currently engaged in designing and building a novel kind of nanoindenter.
Rebecca Sichel 1131 Engineering Research Building (ERB) 608/263-2768 sichel@wisc.edu	I'm a second year grad student working for Paul Evans. I received my bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering from UC Berkeley in 2005 and apparently didn't get enough of it, since I'm a PhD student in the Materials Science Program now. I study the structural dynamics of thin film oxides using XRD.
Bill Stratton M142 Materials Science and Engineering Building 608/265-6391 gstratton@wisc.edu	I am a third year graduate student working with Dr. Paul Voyles. We use fluctuation electron microscopy to characterize the amorphous structure of high Al-content metallic glasses. I received BS degrees in both Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 2002.
Sam Zelinka 434 Forest Products Laboratory 1 Gifford Pinchot Drive 608/231-9277 slzelinka@wisc.edu	Sam Zelinka is a 2nd year graduate student working with Donald Stone and has a joint appointment with the USDA Forest Products Laboratory. Zelinka's research aims to enhance the durability of wood and wood based materials from a thorough understanding the relationships between water and wood. Zelinka's research interests include novel corrosion tests methods, and new, non-destructive, electrical measurements.
