Paul Belitz I am a fifth year PhD student under Tom Bewley (clearly). My work generally concerns optimization and lattice theory. I completed my M.S. and advanced to candidacy a long time ago, in June 2008. In 2006 I recieved my BS in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the University of Washington. For three of my years at UW I worked with professor Kristi Morgansen on various projects, which tended to be entertaining. Publications Conference Papers: 1.)
