- Basic Information -

Time in Larsen Lab: 2007-2010
Basic Project Description: Grant was one of my very first research students -- starting work with me in my first semester as a professor. He worked with me for several years on a variety of projects -- mostly focusting on rainfall variability.

- Awards won while working in Larsen Lab -

2008-2009 UNK Undergraduate Research Fellow

2009 NASA Space Grant Undergraduate Student Fellowship

- Post-Graduation Activities and Current Status -

After graduation, Grant headed out to Oregon and obtained a Masters degree in Physics at Oregon State (Thesis "Comparison of carbon nanotube and graphene field-effect transistor biosensors") and got married (to a fellow UNK Physics undergraduate alumnus who didn't work in my lab, but did have to suffer through at least a class or two with me). They had a daughter (Lillian) who as of the latest update is about 4.5 years old. They have moved back to Omaha, where Grant is working towards his M.D. at University of Nebraska Medical Center. Early in his time in Omaha, Grant did some research in the opthamology department -- working with vesicle release of neurotransmitter in photo receptor cells. A little googling suggests Grant ended up publishing on this.

He has now earned his M.D. and is a family medicine specialist in Bellevue Nebraska (a southern suburb of Omaha).
