Students in the Spotlight
Another Wavelength: Soha Namnabat
Summer break may have cleared the classrooms, but students are still roaming the halls and staffing the labs. This month on Another Wavelength, we caught up with third-year Ph.D. student Soha Namnabat, who does research with Robert A. Norwood. Though he was born in Texas, Soha spent much of his young life in his parents' home country, Iran, before moving back to the U.S. for grad school.
