Students:
- Matthew Streshinsky
Harvey Mudd College ’11
Matt Streshinsky is attending Harvey Mudd College, where is be a sophomore with an interest in physics and engineering. Outside of school, he enjoys pole vaulting on the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps track team, playing the guitar (as well as the violin on occasion), and wandering around in a hungry stupor looking for food. One of his career highlights is working with Chris Wohlers on this study of solar technology. He hopes to continue to be involved in the Harvey Mudd community advocating solar power.

Christopher Wohlers
Pitzer College ’09, Physics and Environmental Studies
Chris Wohlers’sinterests lie in innovative photovoltaic technologies, while his non-scientific interests lie in biking, dumpster diving, and political activism. The highlight of his career has been collaborating with Matthew Streshinsky on this study of solar technology. Contact: christopher_wohlers@pitzer.edu
