Steven Bernasek is an experimental physical chemist interested in chemical reactions on solid surfaces. The effects of internal energy on the dynamics of heterogeneous reactions is an important focus of his work. Modification of metal and metal oxide surfaces using organometallic chemistry forms another large portion of his research. The structure and reactivity of self assembled organic layers, and the interaction of corrosion inhibitor molecules with iron surfaces is also a part of his research work.

Writing Program - This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

I am an anthropological archaeologist specializing in the study of trade and exchange in prehistory. I love seeing how foreign and exotic items are incorporated into everyday life, both in the past and in the present. I am currently working in Kenya to excavate and analyze obsidian stone tools from archaeological sites dating between approximately 6,000-9,000 years ago. This work is part of a larger effort to understand the transition from hunting and gathering to pastoralism during this time. Other ongoing research programs include excavations in North American archaeology, with a focus on Native American prehistory, and archival studies of archaeological thought in the late nineteenth century. I am currently working on a book on the archaeology of long-distance trade. When I'm not in the field, my hobbies include running, swimming, camping, and making stone tools (yes, it's true). I often eat in the Rocky dining hall, so please stop by to say "hello!"

Computer Science Department - This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

My research is in computer graphics, with an emphasis on artistic rendering and computer animation. I am interested in the connections between art and science, and am currently organizing (with others) a competition at Princeton called Art of Science. You might see my wife Esther and me at Rocky brunch with our 5 year old daughter Leila and our baby son Emmet. Before Leila was born I had time for exercise, mostly playing ultimate frisbee in a pickup game at Broadmead Field. I received a PhD from the University of Washington in 1996, after six years of living the good life as a graduate student. From 1987 to 1990, I was a software engineer at Tibco in Palo Alto where I wrote software for people who trade stock. I was an undergraduate student (class of 87) at Swarthmore College, where I studied (occasionally) physics and computer science.
