Jan - Feb 2018
Hello, classmates! Thanks to lots of you who have sent in news recently. Hoi Ning Ngai wrote to say, “I’ve taken on a new role as the associate dean for student affairs at the graduate school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill! And I’ve moved to Chapel Hill! Paul Nicklas ’01 was sweet enough to fly out from Maine to UHaul me from Columbus to Chapel Hill. And I’m excited to connect with Jeremy Works, who recently moved down to the Research Triangle with his family from Washington, D.C., as well as Dana Neutze, Jessica Meed, Laura Brockway Sirianni ’02 and I hope many others in the area!”
Joe Brown had a career update from academia as well: “I moved to Honolulu in July this past summer after 11 years in Boulder, Colorado, and I’m quite happy here so far, getting outside as much as possible when I’m not at work. In August I started a job as a tenure-track assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, here in Honolulu. Currently I’m teaching a materials science lecture class and I’ll be building a research group here around my long-term work on mechanical engineering of nanotechnology. Also, my first paper in this job was just published in the ASME Journal of Applied Mechanics; during the last 18 months I worked out an analytical mathematical model for interlocking snap-fit structures. I’d like to invite anyone passing through Oahu to get in touch and say hi.”
During the summer Caitlin Bronner welcomed her third child, Emma Isabella Bronner Lindberg. Caitlin says, “Big siblings Charlotte (age 7) and William (age 2) are excited about Emma’s arrival, and my husband, Martin Lindberg, and I are thrilled. In other news, I continue to practice law in New York, where I am a partner in the firm of Ingram Yuzek Gainen Carroll & Bertolotti, LLP, specializing in complex commercial litigation.”
I learned from the Internet that Brenda Withers was named one of two Huntington playwriting fellows in the 2017-19 cohort at Boston’s Huntington Theatre Company. She was selected from a pool of 50 applicants for the two-year residency program. The theater’s director of new work cited her “tremendous gift for creating surprising and emotional arcs for actors.” Congratulations, Brenda!
Thanks for all the news for this issue—keep the updates coming!
