	Janey Smith (expects to obtain her Ph.D. in 2008)
		Research area: Water quality, environmental engineering. I am working to integrate water quality models with Geographic Information Systems to create a comprehensive water quality management and emergency response system. Undergraduate degree from: Tennessee Technological University Outside interests/activities: Hiking, photography, softball, all sorts of art, gardening, just about anything outdoors. Why Vanderbilt: I chose Vanderbilt because of its excellent reputation and my interest in theoretical learning and modeling research. I enjoy applied engineering, but I wanted the opportunity to explore the theoretical aspects. I plan to teach one day, and I expect that my Vanderbilt degree will be advantageous in
	my job search. Likes best about Vanderbilt Engineering: I enjoy the small class sizes and the interaction with the professors. I also enjoy teaching the undergraduates and have enjoyed participating in their education as a TA. Another perk is the high quality of guest speakers we attract.
