Episode notes
THz research! The great basement flood! Betashell! This episode continues the discussion with Justin and Jon on the work done by ASU’s THz lab, and highlights lessons learned, testing LNAs, the great basement flood of 2019, and other words of wisdom for students.
Justin and Jon are both part of the THz Lab at Arizona State University, and have contributed to a variety of projects that will benefit our understanding of the universe. Their work is centered on the THz electronics which aid in processing the signals on both balloon borne and ground based space telescopes such as GUSTO, the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM), Simon’s Observatory, and the Large Millimeter Telescope developed by Toltec, all of which are aimed at studying the formation and evolution of stars and other properties of our galaxy in various ways.
