Alger Pike

Alger is a 3rd year chemistry graduate student working for Nick Winograd at the Pennsylvania State University. His interest in programming started before he joined the group but he started with OS/2 only after he joined.

These programs control an angle-resolved time-of-flight mass spectrometer, which he uses to analyze surface chemistry using secondary ion mass spectrometry.
