By Michael Jaramillo ’17 B.S. Astrophysics I had the opportunity to work under the direction of Dr. Douglas Clowe. His research is on determining the dark matter distribution in galaxy clusters through weak gravitational lensing. One of my main jobs as his intern was to make sure the images of […]

By Zak Blumer (B.S. HTC Engineering Physics, Class of 2018) My work under Dr. Martin Kordesch’s supervision in Physics & Astronomy involves determining the efficiency of models of concentrating thermal solar power and comparing them to other models in order to find the most efficient model. When I began my research, […]
