Nicholas L. Abbott Field: Chemical Engineering
Packard Fellowship award year: 1994
Research Interests
esign of synthesis of water-soluble molecules that change amphiphilicity in response to external fields (light and electrical potentials). Development of principles the permit active control of surfactant-based properties of aqueous systems.

Cary B. Forest Field: Physics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
ary Forest researches the principles of magnetohydrodynamics. He is building an experiment to study components of the dynamo theory. The Earth and other planets, the 1 and other stars, pulsars and perhaps even the entire galaxy have magnetic fields that are explained by the dynamo effect, a process by which electrical currents are generated by turbulent motion of conducting fluids or plasma. Forest's experiment will investigate and attack components of this theory.
