analyzing samples with the NMR: Yakelis’s Organic Special Projects students and Waldow’s Instrumental Analysis students will be among the first students to use it. The machine works by an electronic arm plucking out a sample from a rotating tray and slowly lowering it into a tube, which then goes down on a column of air into the bowels of the machine and into a center of a powerful magnet that is 200,000 times as strong as the Earth’s magnetic field. As the machine analyzes the sample, information

PLU Senior Elana Tracy on her (three!) study away experiences, learning during COVID, and plans for graduate school Posted by: bennetrr / May 4, 2021 May 4, 2021 By Ernest JasminPLU Marketing and Communications Guest WriterSenior Elana Tracy ‘21 has mixed feelings now that her studies at Pacific Lutheran University are coming to an end. On the one hand, PLU allowed her to discover a passion for global studies while studying abroad in Great Britain; but on the other, she won’t miss learning in

utilize new machine learning methods to understand the fundamental interactions between pixels in photopolymer 3D printing. Our goal for the summer will be to make resins with unique chemical properties (Arrhenius parameters, viscosity, functional group density, reaction mechanism, etc.) and try to map some of the fit parameters that come out of the machine learning algorithm to physical/chemical properties. Ultimately we hope that this framework can enable rapid development of optimal process

It seemed like a typical distance learning story until she began experimenting with her mother’s 25-year-old sewing machine. “I saw this old machine sitting in the closet and wondered if I could sew a skirt with it,” Lund recalled. “After some training videos and a little effort, I was making clothes and having fun!” During the 2020-2021 school year, Lund also worked through two courses in the Innovation Studies program with Professor Michael Halvorson
