Sailing ship on calm sea

Oh sure I haven’t done one of these in a while…I moved to Stockholm for a postdoc with Frank wilczek designing axion dark matter detectors, then finally left academia and do “consulting” now. Still in Stockholm! Do look me up if you are in the area!
Except this exact minute I’m working as a marine biologist on a tall ship about to leave Fiji to sail to New Zealand. Life is weird, I never liked bio or chem at Mudd, and now I’ve worked professionally as both a biologist and a chemist.

We love hearing about your professional and personal milestones, and the notes are a great way to keep up with friends and classmates and foster connection.

Submit the class notes form to share your life updates. All items submitted appear online in their entirety, however, may be subject to editing. Submitted notes will also be reviewed for publication in Mudd Magazine (fall/winter–January or spring/summer–August) and in academic department e-newsletters, and are subject to editing, including for grammar and space availability. If submitting a photo, high-resolution (file size at least 1 MB) is best so that it reproduces well in the print magazine.

Notes are listed by date received. Customize this page by searching by class year and/or major. If you have questions or comments, please email alumni@hmc.edu.
