Sangho Jeon (Tufts University), Thomas Leitner (Graz University of Technology), and Trudy Allen analyze data from Dr. Douglas Matson's aerodynamic levitator in support of his MaterialsLab experiments.

Jannatun Nawer (graduate student from Tufts University) visited the MSFC electrostatic levitation (ESL) laboratory is support of Dr. Douglas Matson’s (Tufts University) grant, “Round Robin - Thermophysical Property Measurement” (NNX17AH41G). Ms. Nawer is researching CMSX-4 Plus, a nickel-based superalloy, in support of future experiments on the International Space Station (ISS).
