2012 SRCCS Talks, Final Papers, Posters and Photos

During the summer of 2012 we had five students from local community colleges joining our research as part of the NSF funded SRCCS (Summer Research for Community College Students) program. Ashley, John, Daniel, Christopher and Matthew did some great research during the summer. Find out more below!

TALKS

Participants in the SRCCS program give a short presentation after three weeks introducing their research projects and discussing the research plans for the summer. Here are the talks given during the 2012 SRCCS program:

• Ashley Holbrook
• Christopher Wilson
• Daniel Mancuso
• John Malcovitch
• Matthew Zotta

FINAL PAPERS

SRCCS participants write final reports summarizing their research during the summer. Here are the reports from 2012:

• Calculating the entrance field near a grain boundary in type-II superconductors, Christopher Wilson, SUNY Adirondack
• Microfocus X-ray Source Project, Daniel Mancuso, Hudson Valley Community College
• Temperature mapping software for single-cell cavities, Matthew Zotta, Mohawk Valley Community College
• Radio Frequency Control System for Superconducting Cavities, Ashley Holbrook, Mohawk Valley Community College

POSTERS

Good communication skills are essential for successful carriers in science, technology, and nearly all other fields. To practice these, SRCCS participants give presentations and discuss the exciting results of their summer research during a final poster session at the end of the summer. Here are the final posters from the 2012 SRCCS program:

• Daniel Mancuso
• Ashley Holbrook
• John Malcovitch
• Matthew Zotta
• Christopher Wilson
