David Geist Named Fellow in the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists
ETD's David Geist achieved one of the highest levels of validation for accomplishments that a fishery scientist can achieve. He was appointed a Fellow in the American Institute of Fishery Research Biologists, which advances the theory, practice, and application of fishery and related sciences.
Dr. Geist's accomplishments include the development of radio telemetry techniques to monitor fish behavior and physiology, and innovative studies of ground water - surface water interactions in salmon spawning habitat. He is a member of the Advisory Committee for the Hanford Reach National Monument. Adjunct professor at WSU-TC, and serves as a scientific liaison for environmental policy issues in the Columbia River Basin.

Dr. John Vienna
In a culmination of nine years of study, ETD's John Vienna recently received his Ph.D. In May, John completed and defended his dissertation, the Effects of Temperature and Composition on the Solubility of Chromium in Multi-Component Alkali-Borosilicate Glass Melts, and received his Doctorate of Philosophy in Materials Science from Washington State University. WSU's Materials Science Program is a multidisciplinary program, including physics, chemistry, and materials and mechanical engineering.
While attending WSU, John worked on an array of projects at the Laboratory mainly focused on the chemistry and applications of glass. He has been attending WSU since he received his M.S. in Ceramic Engineering and Science from Alfred University in 1993.
