A huge note of thanks to my PhD adviser, Professor Troy Gilmore (top photo), at University of Nebraska–Lincoln and founder of the GaugeCam GRIME Lab where I plan to volunteer now that I have finished my degree. No words are sufficient to express my level of gratitude for his support through so many years of education and research and, even more, for his friendship. His wife, Youngin, made a spectacular Korean dinner for the commencement after-party with committee members, Aaron Mittlestet (bottom photo) and Mary Harner. I am just so grateful for it all.
