While we were at Lake Powell, we celebrated Landon's 24th birthday. After he came home, he went back to Southern Utah to run the Red Rock Relay with some friends. He returned only for a few days to pack up his little car, hook his bike on the back, and head to Palo Alto, California, where he'll be attending Stanford University to pursue a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Landon is living on campus, enjoying graduate school, and is excited that the classes are challenging.
He is working on selecting a lab to work in, but seems to be interested in the Nano Heat Lab. What is that, you say? Well, he explained it to me: the lab studies heat transfer in electronic nanostructures and packaging, microfluidic heat sinks, and thermoelectric and photonic energy conversion devices. they also focus on fundamental transport physics and interact extensively with semiconductor and energy companies.
Had to look up "microfluidic?" Yeah. Me too.
But, he's having a great time, is excited to be back in a school envionment and feels that the caliber of education he'll be getting there is very exciting. It doesn't hurt that Jim and Kathie's apartment is 16 minutes away from his. I'm guessing he'll be getting fed some pretty nice Sunday dinners.
Good luck, Landon!
