Dr. Mikkelson has worked on neutron scattering data visualization and analysis software for more than twenty years. The Integrated Spectral Analysis Workbench(ISAW) was developed during the last nine years with support from the National Science Foundation, the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source(IPNS) division of Argonne National Laboratory, the Spallation Neutron Source division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. ISAW is the result of the efforts of several university faculty, four post docs and staff members at IPNS and approximately 15 students at UW-Stout and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
