Net-Pickers of ASU

We are a group with common interests in the taxonomy and enumeration of 3-periodic nets. We are, from left in the picture below, Martin Foster, Mike Treacy (ASU Physics & Astronomy) and Mike O'Keeffe, Olaf Delgado-Friedrichs (ASU, Chemistry & Biochemistry). Recent publications, listed below, will give some idea of our interests.
