Stephen Jensen is a patent attorney and president of an intellectual property law firm in
Appleton, Wisconsin called Wilhelm Law, S.C. After graduating from Marquette, Steve earned
his M.S.E.E. from the University of New Mexico. From there, he worked as an R&D engineer to
develop optical techniques for measuring temperature, pressure, and flow. This work brought
him into contact with the company’s patent attorneys, and before long he switched from the
engineering department to the legal department, attended night law school, and became a
patent attorney.
Sean Tsang (B. S. 1987 from Marquette)

Herbology), completed his masters at the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago. He
studied Liberal Arts, Computer Science and Physics at Marquette University, Milwaukee, and did
his college matriculation in Hong Kong. As a native of Manchuria and a third generation Chinese
Medicine practitioner, he grew up in a rich culture of Chinese healing art. Sean is fluent in
Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese and English. He specializes in treating all pain conditions including

Sarah Reiff (B. S. 2010 from Marquette)
Sarah graduated from Marquette in 2010 and began her PhD in Physics at the University of
Notre Dame, where she is a Clare Booth Luce Presidential Fellow. Her research focuses on the
chemistry occurring at iron and copper oxide surfaces during gamma ray and He ion radiolysis.
Through this project she used a number of surface sensitive and analytical chemistry
techniques, as well as the FN Tandem Van de Graaf accelerator in the Nuclear Science
Laboratory at Notre Dame.
Chris Langlo (B. S. 2010 from Marquette)
Chris is currently an MSTP (Medical Science Training Program) student at the Medical College of
Wisconsin, pursuing both his MD and his PhD. He took his first set of board exams in June of
2012, and started grad school in the fall. He is working with a group that does optical imaging of
the human retina, primarily the photoreceptor layer. His thesis project focuses on understanding
photoreceptor structure in a form of complete colorblindness called Achromatopsia, in
anticipation of upcoming gene therapy treatment trials in humans. Upon completion of his
graduate work, he will return to medical school to finish his last two years in the clinics.
