Mystery Image #15

Posted by John Dojka on April 14, 2009 in

Here is another mystery image for your consideration. The record is now 13-1. Mystery Image #14 still lacks identification -- and I had such high hopes. :-(

Can you identify this gentleman? Do you know where the photo was taken?

Woody was working on supersonic sprays in a vacuum and looking at them using microwave spectroscopy to study "loosely bound complexes in the gas phase". The picture was taken on the third floor of Cogswell Labs.

Sorry, that got cut off...judging from the cabinetry behind him, the photo was taken somewhere in Cogswell Laboratory.
