HPEPL Welcomes New Students
HPEPL welcomes Tyler Scogin and Cheong Chan, joining in Fall 2014. Tyler received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Arkansas in May 2014. As an undergraduate, Tyler completed internships at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Summer 2012, Stennis Space Center in Summer 2013, and at Johnson Space Center in Spring 2014. At NASA JSC, Tyler assisted with advanced propulsion physics concepts in the Eagleworks Laboratory. Cheong received a M.S. in Physics from Yale University where he worked on problems ranging from fundamental physics measurements to image reconstruction algorithms. He interned at NASA as a data analyst for the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer looking at the systematic noise sources. Cheong graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. Physics where he built a small atom trap and worked on optics with the Holger Mueller Group. Additionally, he worked on the development of a detection algorithm for the Rhessi instrument at Space Sciences Lab in Berkeley. -
