An article by Kate Arpino '10, "Post Annealing Immersion: a new technique for studying rare earth ions in porous materials," was published online by the .
Arpino majored in chemical physics and minored in comparative literature. She is currently starting a Ph.D. program, also in chemical physics, at Columbia University.
Arpino's paper describes work she did for her senior thesis project in Professor Ann Silversmith's lab. She studied a new technique "Post Annealing Immersion" which allowed her to study how rare earth dopant ions are located in a porous sol-gel matrix.
