| Canio Hoffarth |
With Dave Littlewood, I co-supervised Canio Hoffarth during the 2012 Sandia CSRI summer student program. During this time, Canio conducted numerical simulations of compaction of granular material
using the peridynamic code Peridigm.
Canio also developed and implemented several capabilities into Peridigm, including new compute classes, a new contact algorithm incorporating friction, and useful post-processing tools.
Canio is currently a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Prof. Subramaniam Rajan at Arizona State.

| Kirk Soodhalter |
I supervised Kirk Soodhalter during the 2011 Sandia CSRI summer student program. During this time, Kirk developed and implemented a block version of the Krylov subspace recycling solver GCRODR
within Trilinos, and tested it in the fluid-DFT code Tramonto. Kirk is currently a university assistant professor at the Industrial Mathematics Institute at the Johannes Kepler Institute in Linz, Austria.

| Kapil Ahuja |
I supervised Kapil Ahuja during the 2010 Sandia CSRI summer student program. During this time, Kapil applied Krylov subspace recycling solvers to climate modeling and uncertainty quantification
applications. Kapil is currently a postdoc with Prof. Peter Benner at the Max Planck Institute in Germany. \\
