CLASSE NEWS | 30 Aug 2012
We are proud to announce that Xiao Mi, who worked with the SRF group during Fall’11 and Summer’12, has received a certificate—given to a select few co-op students in Cornell’s College of Engineering—who demonstrate leadership, initiative and innovation during their work terms.
Xiao developed supporting structures and computer programs for Oscillating Second-sound Transducers (OSTs), allowing for quicker data acquisition and more precise localization of quench spots. He also wrote Matlab software for Cornell's multi-cell Temperature Mapping system which automates much of the acquisition and analyzing procedures during SRF-cavity tests. In addition, he built a precise level meter for liquid helium baths using Quartz Tuning Forks, opening the door to further applications of tuning forks in liquid helium. Xiao is now an undergraduate senior, graduating in 2012.
