The LLE Summer Research Program for High School Juniors just completed its 27th year. Shown in this composite are four of the twelve students with their projects. In the upper left is Ryan Gao (Brighton High School) (right) with his advisor Matthew Barczys (left), who studied how damage to the final OMEGA EP UV mirror can influence the laser pulse. In the upper right is Gabriel Evans (McQuaid), advised by Walter Shmayda, who measured the hydrogen pressure over palladium hydride. In the lower left is Alex Proschel (Pittsford Sutherland), also advised by Walter Shmayda, whose topic was “Isotopic Exchange over Platinized Molecular Sieve.” In the lower right is Eileen Norris (Brighton), advised by Seung-Whan Bahk, who designed an imaging telescope.
