New Members of the Scientific Staff at Sacramento...(1Jun92)
Peak
(from NSO, NOAO Newsletter No. 30, 1 June 1992)

We are looking forward to two additions to the scientific staff at
Sacramento Peak. Matthew Penn will join the staff as a Post-doc in late
summer and Jeff Kuhn as an Astronomer early next year.

Jeff is currently a Professor at Michigan State University, and he has
been working recently on very high precision measurements of solar
irradiance fluctuations, IR measurements of the photospheric network,
as well as the dynamics of dwarf spheroidal galaxies.  Jeff is a
familiar face at the Peak, after several extended visits, and he has
previously served on the NSO Users' Committee. His experience in
innovative instrumentation will be a welcome addition.

Matt Penn is finishing his Ph.D. at the University of Hawaii on the
interaction of solar p-modes and solar active regions, using data from
the imaging spectrograph. Matt will be investigating the variation of
7Li abundance across the solar surface using the 22 mA Fabry-Perot
system, and participating in the instrumentation program.
