Robert L. Merlino is an Emeritus Professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of Iowa. His research activities are in experimental plasma physics, where he has concentrated on performing experiments investigating processes of relevance to space plasma physics, and on the physics of dusty plasmas. His research has been funded by the Cottrell Research Corporation, the Office of Naval Research, NASA, NSF and DOE.

Yannick Meurice is a Professor at the University of Iowa. He was a postdoc at CERN and Argonne National Laboratory and a visiting professor at CINVESTAV in Mexico City.

David M. Miles is an experimental space physicist specializing in the development of next-generation spaceflight magnetic field instruments and particularly miniature instruments for nanosatellites and multi-point measurement constellations.

Matthew's research has focused on studying the 3D morphology and dust properties of the remnants of supernova explosions at X-ray and infrared wavelengths.

Matt is an Engineering Coordinator working in the University of Iowa Physics and Astronomy Machine Shop.  He has worked in the machine shop a total of 10 years starting in 2009.

David Montealegre worked in the field of solid-state physics. David's main research focus was in superlattice structures used in LEDs, lasers, and detectors.

Robert L. Mutel is a Professor Emeritus in the Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of Iowa.

Jane Nachtman received her PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997 followed by a postdoc at UCLA under Professor David Saltzberg.

Before joining the doctoral program at the University of Iowa, Raaman completed his BS in Physics & Astronomy, and MS in Applied Physics at Northern Arizona University. Later on, he was a Physics teacher at schools in Arizona.

Kristie Nault is interested in high energy astrophysics and the spectroscopic study of stars. She is currently working with Professor Casey DeRoo.

As an undergraduate, Matthew earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics at the University of Iowa. His current research interests are in the fields of condensed matter physics and mathematical physics. He is on the Graduate Mentors leadership team.
