Eric Carlson is a chemical engineering PhD candidate at Stanford University, studying the optical-rheology of elastomeric polypropylene with Prof. Gerald G. Fuller. He earned his MS from Stanford University and his BS from North Carolina State University, where he was introduced to the joys of cooperative learning. On the few occasions he escapes from the lab, he enjoys mountain biking, rollerblading, volleyball, and poor attempts at golf.
