The South Pole Telescope (SPT)
The SPT is a 10 meter diameter
sub-millimeter wavelength telescope at the South
Pole. I worked with
Professor William Holzapfel
on the design, construction, and integration of the
millimeter wavelength receiver for the telescope, a 960 element
transition edge sensor (TES) superconducting
bolometer array. The receiver
sucessfully deployed in February 2007. I am currently
participating in the data analysis, and lab testing
for upgrading the receiver for the next observing season.
