 She was a great student, a lot of fun. She's a hard worker, very hard worker. Gracie was also very active in the physics department. She hung around a lot and did lots of things for us, helped in labs and in tutoring and I think she even worked in the observatory when we opened it in Olin. Yeah, we're very proud of Gracie having gone on to a graduate school at UT Austin. She did really well there and starting off in mechanical engineering in a master's program and then going on in biomedical engineering in a PhD program. I was very happy to go visit her one time. I was happened to be at a conference in Austin and stopped in to see her and visit her lab and she showed me some very impressive work she was doing at imaging tiny blood vessels under the skin using some very neat optical techniques. She also taught us a little bit about new software and that we now use a lot in our experimental modern physics lab, lab view and some other control software that we use. What she has shown our department is that somebody that wants to make it and works hard can get through even our tough program. You know she's a great researcher and well respected for her work in bioptics, bioptic imaging but she also is trying to give back I think in many different ways and one of those is she developed a program called PREP that is designed to help under represented students who are interested and motivated to be able to get into biomedical engineering and to eventually receive a PhD in that area. I believe that she is a wonderful caring person and I would say that first but I also say she's you know a very hard-working researcher and well respected for the work that she's done.
