路加福音迈尔斯

A National Merit semifinalist, 卢克·迈尔斯20岁 came to Westmont as an Augustinian Scholar. He graduated in physics after just three years. Besides excelling in all out classes, he’s done reSearch at Las Cumbres Observatory doing instrumental analysis. His supervisor raved about his work. He is well rounded, having worked with foster kids at Royal Family Kids Camp, worked with Academic computing, gone on Potter’s Clay and played on the Ultimate Frisbee and water polo club teams. He is outwardly focused with a caring heart. He is the student that a decade from now you brag about having taught him.

露易丝·瑙曼

露易丝·瑙曼 '19, an Augustinian Scholar, 高中毕业后，他以86个大学学分的成绩来到韦斯特蒙特大学，当时他是一名微积分助教, statistics and AP 物理. 她还在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的安进生物技术研究中心做了一年的研究. Her first semester at Westmont, she took senior quantum mechanics, earning the top grade in the class on the final. 她在三个学期内完成了物理专业的学习，是韦斯特蒙特大学田径队的撑杆跳运动员. In the summer of 2018, she conducted reSearch at Harvard Medical School, 利用3D打印机设计和制造辐射传感器阵列，为转移性脑肿瘤的放射治疗提供质量保证. “事实上，转移性脑瘤是治疗费用最高的癌症之一，”她说. “这些传感器阵列的原型设计有助于我们研究质量保证的替代方法, lowering the cost of this type of treatment. 我在波士顿的那段时间里，最有影响力的部分是在医院里测试我们的传感器，那里整天都有病人在接受治疗. We would come in the evenings, after the treatments had been administered for the day, and conduct reSearch in hope of improving that treatment for future patients.

“When I wasn’t conducting reSearch, I enjoyed being in the culturally diverse and historically rich city of Boston.她已经被加州大学洛杉矶分校的医学物理博士课程录取，并希望继续在癌症研究领域工作.

汉钟

韩忠'17 is a quiet and really bright student. 转到我们的项目后，他同时选修了高级和低级课程, (including modern physics and quantum mechanics). He’s graded and TA’d for us and became significantly involved in reSearch with Dr. 西村. 他为这项研究做了重要的软件工作，包括重写解吸数据的Matlab软件代码，使分析数据变得更加容易. He developed excel macros for mass spectral data enhancing data analysis. 最后, 他提出了一种Excel数据库方法，可以观察数据的趋势，从而发表他们的数据. 韩是一个典型的团队合作者，有一颗仆人的心，和他一起工作很愉快.

咏叹调哈曼

艾瑞亚·哈曼，16岁 她的物理和艺术双专业体现了她的科学才华和艺术气质. A Monroe Scholar, Aria has been incredibly accomplished in her time at Westmont. She was one of roughly 20 American Physical Society Minority Scholars nationwide. 作为美国国家科学基金会REU项目的一部分，她在哈佛大学做暑期研究. She also did nuclear physics reSearch with Dr. Rogers here at Westmont and at Michigan State. 在接下来的一年里，她获得了富布赖特奖学金，前往荷兰代尔夫特大学从事研究工作. This means she will defer her acceptance to the Harvard Applied 物理 PhD program.
