For Week 2 at LASP, both Isaias and I continued working on our Camera/UV system, specifically focusing on the positioning stage. This stage is what holds our samples and lets us make tiny, precise movements....
Hey everyone! My name is Alex Birck, and I was lucky enough to get my Pinternship at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado. I’m interning with Isaias Gutierrez, and am working with Dmitry Vorobiev and Briana Indhal, along with many undergraduate...
Hello! My name is Alex Birck, and I’m a student at Ridgway High School. This summer, I’m headed to Boulder to intern at LASP—the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. I’ve always been the type of person who wants to know exactly how things work,...
