I ended up spending 3 weeks on the phone looking for a tutor, at my son's
request. I ended up getting him with a physics professor from the
Rochester Institute of Technology. The guy's web page says he's
interested in "Plasma Surface Modification of Polymers (polyimide,
Teflon) to Enhance Adhesion with Vacuum Deposited (sputtering,
evaporation) Metals (copper)". (WHAT???)

He's studying better ways of making circuit boards. (?)


The school gets assignments from Kodak and the CIA, so it could be any
number of very interesting things.
