YEREVAN - Several students from Yerevan State University who have
been conducting their thesis work at the Cosmic Ray Division of
the Yerevan Physics Institute have entered a new milestone in their
career preparation.
Hripsime Lazarian and Hasmik Rostomyan successfully finished their
Master in Physics courses at the Yerevan State University. Hripsime's
Master's thesis was titled "The Electrical structure of Thunderclouds
and Initiation of the Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements (TGEs)", and
Hasmig's was "The Maximal Energy of Solar Accelerators: Evidence from
Space and Earth's Surface Measurements". Now they have applied for
a job at the Cosmic Ray Division (CRD) of Yerevan Physics Institute
(YerPhI) and will prepare for the Thunderstorms and Elementary
Particle Acceleration (TEPA 2013) international conference to be held
at the Nor-Amberd research station, Armenia, September 9-13. They
will also prepare for the YerPhI PhD program entrance examinations
in November. Hripsime and Hasmig were the recipients of the Kirakos
Vaporciyan Scholarship for CRD students at Yerevan State University
this year. Congratulations to Hripsime and Hasmig for their recent
accomplishments and we wish them well during the coming years.
Hayk Avagyan graduated from the Computer Science Department of the
Yerevan State University and started his work at the CRD. His main
topics of interest at the CRD will be the development of new algorithms
for data analysis and the analysis and correlation of the Aragats
Space Environmental Center data, and data from other astroparticle
physics experiments.
Patrick Fasano, an undergraduate student at the University of Notre
Dame in South Bend, Indiana, USA, started his internship at the
CRD with the support of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies
at the University of Notre Dame. Patrick will work 10-weeks at the
Cosmic Ray Division, assisting with upgrades and improvements to CRD's
data storage and processing software, as well as learning about data
analysis of Thunderstorm Ground Enhancements, a newly discovered high
energy phenomena in the terrestrial atmosphere. He will also work with
CRD graduate students to make improvements to Advanced Data Analysis
System (ADAS) file servers for conserving computer storage space.
Thirteen of the CRD's young scientists and staff received a performance
based bonus from the Harutyun and Nadya Vaporciyan Family for their
outstanding work and their resolve to pursue scientific excellence
in Armenia. "I have their picture on my mirror, and I look at them
every day and I am so proud", says Harutyun Vaporciyan when he speaks
of these talented young people.
"All in all, we are satisfied with the progress of our students and
our young and seasoned scientists who mentor our students", says Prof.
Ashot Chilingarian, the director of Yerevan Physics Institute and the
head of its Cosmic Ray Division. "We are also very grateful to the
Vaporciyan family for supporting our young scientists and students
with scholarships and prizes."
