Three students (right to left) - Stephanie Kotiadis (PhD candidate), Daria Humeniuc (M.A.Sc student), and Natalie Debiak (Undergraduate Research Assistant) - enjoy some fresh air between casting experiments. The aluminum-rayon coats, spats, and kevlar gloves give a sci-fi aesthetic that suits the modern research that the group conducts. Like the Queen of Spades, these students are formidable against the challenges of modern manufacturing!
