Abstract

MEG funding directly supported the efforts of three students in my laboratory during the calendar year 2011. A graduate student, Manan Dhunna, received partial support (approximately one-third of his annual stipend) during the year. His role, in addition to carrying out his own research on ambient ionization sources, was to provide continuity and consistent in-lab supervision for the undergraduates during the times that I could not be present in the lab. Two undergraduates were supported by the grant, Jonathan Wright and Kellie Woodfield. These three students were part of a larger group effort to develop advanced ambient ionization sources for mass spectrometry. As members of the research group, each student was required to submit a weekly written progress report and to attend a weekly research group meeting. The students gave oral presentations on their progress in the group meetings on a rotating basis, with each student typically giving two presentations during a semester. I will summarize the accomplishments of each of the undergraduate students supported by the grant in the following section.
