`Jon Guyer`_ 
    is a member of the research staff of |MSED| in
    |MML| at |NIST|.  Jon's computational interests are in object-oriented
    design and in phase field modeling of electrochemistry.

`Daniel Wheeler`_ 
    is a guest researcher in |MSED| in
    |MML| at |NIST|.  Daniel's interests are in numerical modeling, finite
    volume techniques, and level set treatments.

`Jim Warren`_
    is the leader of the Themodynamics and Kinetics group in
    |MSED| and Director of |CTCMS| of |MML| at
    |NIST|. Jim is interested in a variety of problems, including the
    phase field modeling of solidification, polycrystalline solids,
    and the electrochemical interface.

Alex Mont
    developed the :term:`PyxViewer` and the :term:`Gmsh` import and export
    modules while he was a student at `Montgomery Blair High School`_.

Katie Travis
    developed the automated 
    :option:`--inline` optimization code for ``Variable`` objects 
    while she was a SURF_ student from `Smith College`_.
  
Max Gibiansky
    added support for the :term:`Trilinos` solvers while he was a SURF_ student
    from `Harvey Mudd College`_

`Andrew Reeve`_
    added support for anistropic diffusion coefficients while he was on 
    sabbatical from the `University of Maine`_.

Olivia Buzek
    worked on adding :term:`Trilinos` parallel computations while she was a SURF_ student
    from the `University of Maryland`_

Daniel Stiles
    worked on adding :term:`Trilinos` parallel computations while he was
    a student at `Montgomery Blair High School`_.

James O'Beirne
    added full mesh partitioning using :term:`Gmsh`. James also greatly
    improved the :term:`Gmsh`-:term:`FiPy` pipeline. Other contributions
    include updating :term:`FiPy` to use properties pervasively,
    deployment of a :term:`Buildbot` server to automate :term:`FiPy`
    testing and a full refactor of the ``Mesh`` classes.
