Research Assistant
University of New Mexico
1993 -- 1994
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Assisted in the development of FORTRAN code used to determine the velocity
of a propagating front in a tube. Assisted in the development, testing
and setup of a laser calibration system to be used to align and calibrate
particle detectors in experiment 865 at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Science and Engineering Research Intern
Brookhaven National Laboratory
1993
Upton, New York
Tested possible configurations of a prototype magnet to be used as
a particle accelerator at the National Synchrotron Light Source. Wrote
and worked with FORTRAN programs to help analyze data. Assisted in the
testing repair and construction of particle detectors and electronic components
used in conjunction with the detectors in experiment 850 at the Alternating
Gradient Synchrotron. |
