The effort combined Phyllis’ wedding marketing consulting experience and Phillip’s back- ground in scientific computing and bioinformatics. Launched in Sep- tember 2008, their free app “delivers thousands of wedding inspiration boards and wedding planning articles based on search terms the user submits.” The site handles as many as 600 to 1,000 downloads per day.

current Mudders. While in grad school, he studied three- and four-body dissociation reactions of small molecular clusters in the gas phase. He has worked as an engineer doing MEMS work on a fast refresh infrared display, as a physicist studying high-powered acoustic interactions with aerosols and as a chemist doing extremely sensitive and selective detec- tion of small molecules, such as explosives and nerve agents. continued on page 32
