CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 8
Week eight at LASP has flown by, filled with plenty of research and some memorable adventures. Hugh and I continued working on repeatability and started to help draft a paper for the upcoming SPIE conference. After our internship some of the undergrads we have worked with will go present the paper at SPIE. The SPIE […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 7
Wrapping up my seventh week at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder, I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by. This week was a big step forward for our fiber project, especially after the pump failure last week. Thankfully, the new turbo pump we ordered arrived early, and Hugh […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 6
Wrapping up my fifth week at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder, with Hugh, I’ve encountered a blend of successes and unexpected hurdles. This week, our focus remained on the fiber project, although not without some hiccups. Our turbo pump, a crucial component for pumping down the vacuum chamber, unfortunately […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 4
Hello, This marks my fourth week at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder, working alongside Dmitri Vorobiev. Throughout this week, Hugh and I have continued the fiber cutback experiment. Although we’ve been utilizing the same fiber over the past week, we suspected it had become fractured. Optical fibers are highly […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 3
This week at LASP really felt much more independent. Since Hugh and I finished training, we have much better understanding of our projects. We continued work on our ongoing UV fiber cut-back experiment. This experiment is focused on understanding the UV light transfer through the fiber at different lengths and curvatures. This week we found […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 2
This past week at LASP was fun and productive. Since we have completed our training from last week we were able to participate much more in the experiments. With Dimitri out at a conference in Alaska, Hugh and I had the chance to run a few sessions of our UV fiber cut-back experiment on our […]
CJ Horning LASP Internship Week 1
I’m CJ Horning, and I’m interning this summer at LASP (the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics) in Boulder through CU. I’m here with my friend Hugh and we both go to Telluride High School, so it’s been cool to go through this together. This first week was mostly focused on training and getting up […]
CJ Horning – Telluride High School
Hi, I’m CJ Horning, a junior at Telluride High School. I’ve taken advanced classes in math, physics, and computer science, including multivariable calculus, and I enjoy challenging myself with personal projects in computer science. This led me to a position at ResTech in Telluride, where I gained valuable real-world experience. I hope to apply my […]
