A year of achievement and a Decade of Change Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is a great joy for me to welcome each of you to University Fall Conference as we prepare to launch the 2010-2011 academic year, the 121st year in the life of…
, professor of chemistry, received another in a long series of Natural Sciences Foundation grants–this one for $98,000 for his research in polymer chemistry. Archaeologist Don Ryan, a PLU alumnus and a faculty fellow in humanities, published “Beneath the Sands of Egypt” to critical and popular acclaim. These are just a few examples of faculty scholarship, to which one can add the dozens of performances by our music faculty, creative works by our faculty in art and theater, as well as the contemporary

In Times Challenging and Uncertain: Plans Change – Values and Mission Endure By President Loren J. Anderson Welcome to our 2009 University Fall Conference. This morning we gather and prepare to launch the 120th year in the life of Pacific Lutheran University. We do so with…
changes in university leadership, and this year is no exception. So today we recognize Steve Olson who, in a seamless transition in January of this year, stepped up to lead as our new vice president for Development and University Relations. And just four weeks ago, Associate Professor of Physics Steve Starkovich became our acting provost for this year, enabling Provost Patricia Killen to embark on her well-deserved sabbatical leave. I ask today that each of you say “thank you” and pledge your full

Internships and Research Experiences in Physics Internships and Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are an excellent way to apply the material you are learning in your physics and engineering courses outside of the classroom! Internships generally refer to a position in a company or business. Internships may be paid or unpaid, and there may be opportunities to apply your experience towards PLU credit. Consult with the Physics Department chair for more information. Check out the

Dean Waldow's Research Group Waldow Group Research Projects Our group has a number of research directions broadly focused in the study of macromolecules. The largest effort has been involved in the compatibilization of polymer blends with added copolymers both in the bulk and as a thin film. Other areas include the study of organic photovoltaic thin films, local segmental dynamics of copolymers in dilute solution, and the application of various synthetic technique to design and build specialty

at the Joint Institute of Neutron Science collaborating with Dr. Mark Dadmun of the University of Tennessee – Knoxville studying neutron scattering of polymer-based thermoelectrics and conducting polymers in solution. At PLU, my research group studies a variety of topics in the polymer field including polymer dynamics, thin polymer films, compatibilization of polymer blends, and more recently organic photovoltaics (OPV). We utilize a variety of techniques including atomic force microscopy, light

grow. This talk will describe my undergraduate research group’s synthesis and characterization of polymer materials for use in lithium-based batteries. Key to potential improvements is incorporating the ability to transport ions through an organic polymer. In the near future, materials like these may allow batteries to be less flammable, lighter, more flexible, and potential increase their energy or power capacity. In 2019 Dr. Dean Waldow was awarded the Lynwood W. Swanson Scientific Research Award
