Some Good Approaches to Working with Plate Glass:
Innovative short cuts and time saving techniques for
cutting and shaping plate glass at reasonable cost.
Patrick Bennet: After taking a class with Bob Ponton at UW-
Milwaukee, and apprenticing with Neal Korfage, Patrick attended
Salem Community College. Presently employed at the U of Notre
Dame since 2008
Construction of a Double-Cooling Shortpath Distillation Unit:
Gary Coyne: Gary has been Secretary and President of the ASGS
as well as Chair, Secretary, and Director of the Southern California
Section for many many times. He is the author of the Laboratory
Companion and has presented a number of seminars, papers,
workshops, and a few posters in past symposia.
Katherine Jones: Recently completed ASGS Junior
membership and attended four Symposiums and Junior
member workshops; presently serving second term as
the Secretary of the Delaware Valley Section; Employed
at Greatglas,Inc. in Wilmington, DE for four years
Patient Inspired Glass Aneurysms for Experimental Flow Characterization using Particle
Image Velocimetry: Cerebral aneurysms are localized dilations in the walls of cerebral arteries
in the brain, the rupture of which is generally catastrophic for the patient. Patient specific
borosilicate glass models are used to allow Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), an optical based
imaging technique, to characterize the flow in in vitro aneurysm models in an effort to identify
key parameters contributing to the rupture of the aneurysms.
Steven M. Anderson:

Memorial Award He has won the Wale Award for outstanding
technical poster several times. Steve was also honored to receive
the Midwest Section Achievement Award in 1999.
UV Radiation from Burners: Do glassblowers have a
higher risk of skin cancer from the torches' UV radiation?
This poster will present measurements from exposure
studies in Germany.
Konstantin Kraft: Konsantin has been a Scientific
glassblower since 1992; master scientific glassblower
since 1999; Employed at the U of Ulm since 1996;
Chairman of the VDG (German Glassblower Society)
since 2003.
A.S.G.S. Junior Member Workshops: This poster will
addresses what the workshops are, how and when they
originated and how they benefit the Society
Katherine Severance: Graduate of the Scientific
Glass Technology Program at Salem CC in 2010.
Employed at Chemglass; currently the Alternate
Director of the Delaware Valley Section of the ASGS.
