Hi, my name is Charles (though most people call me Chip), and I just finished my second year at the University of Michigan. I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, and minoring in Math and Physics. I'm from Monroe, MI, which is not too far from Ann Arbor, and close to Toledo, OH.
I've spent two years as a member of the Remote Sensing Group, a research group in the Space Physics Research Lab at U of M. The group works heavily with NASA centers like Goddard and JPL, working on equipment for remote sensing satellites. With the group I've worked on two NASA sponsored projects, the Correlated Noise Calibration System (CNCS) and the Agile Digital Detector for RFI Detection and Mitigation (ADD). This past year, I was the lead on a project studying the RFI patterns of the wireless internet signals WiFi and WiMAX and their detectability with the ADD system.
I've been a life long fan of Michigan Football, and I'm a big sports fan in general. I'm a brother in the Delta Chi Fraternity, and am active in Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma and ASME. When I do get free time, I enjoy video games and movies. I'm looking forward to beginning work, and to a summer in California.

Intros: Suzanne
Hey guys! I'm Suzanne (Suz, Suzie, or whatever you'd like to call me...) and I'm majoring in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. I've been on the vomit comet twice, including this past March, and hope to be an astronaut in the future. I love sports, the beach, hanging out with friends, biking, playing Dance Dance Revolution, jumping in puddles, having bonfires, and camping. My favorite superhero is Superman. I'm also a big fan of sunflower seeds, especially during baseball season (Go Giants!).
I'm from Los Gatos, CA, which is about 20-25 minutes away from NASA. So if any of you out of staters need help finding something, don't hesitate to ask. I'm planning on doing a lot of fun things this summer like going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Giants games, and camping, so I'll be sure to post my outings on here incase anyone else wants to come. I'm looking forward to meeting you all in a few weeks :) It should be a fun summer!

hi
hi my name is lulu and I'm a sophomore in college. :D I'm VERY EXCITED to be working with everyone this summer. I've been in boston for the past 2 years and in CT for the 7 years before that and I'm looking forward to spending some time on the WeSt CoAst. I like physics and stuff, and I like warm weather.
I try to eat 2 meals every day, drink lots of fluids, and take generous naps whenever I can. My favorite cookies are big cookies and my favorite fruit is coconut. I like playing on the internet and the beach. I play some sports. I'm taking a yoga class right now. I'm allergic to spring. I have perfect vision.
More later,
-lulu liu

Hello folks!
Just a short introduction in 1's and 0's, but you'll have to meet me in person to get any details.
I've done the common aerospace geek things: NASA visits, ISU, X-Prize, Shuttle launches (where you drive all night long to get there), Yuri's night, worn a space suit, touched a shuttle main engine, stood 2cm from the wheel of Atlantis, floated in the weightless wonder, built a prototype satellite-to-be as a senior project, sat in a Soyuz, flown the shuttle motion base simulator, trained astronauts, and flown a 4-seater airplane for fun 60 hrs in a month. And now I do crazy things like go backpacking in ANWR where a small plane drops you off and you see no civilization for a week.

Intros: Nil
Well, let's be the first to write in the blog after Jessica. :)
My name is Nil and I live in Vilobí del Penedès (Barcelona, Spain). I am in the way to get my Telecommunications Engineering degree soon. So just right now, while writing this, I am in the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia where I am surrounded of physics and where I am working in my thesis. As Jessica I had the luck to go to the SSP of ISU but in a different year (2006).
Probably getting out from my house at night and staring at the stars when I was a child, was one of the things which made me think of how tiny we are and that going into space will be another big step for humanity.
Maybe I could add that I've been "working" in the SSETI association (there's no single S, hehe). This is something in Europe we have under the supervision of the European Space Agency and that is just for students. The goal is to make students learn about building satellites by making them to do the job. Actually I think I've heard NASA wants to do something similar here in Ames. :))
I enjoy doing many things, but one them is definitely playing a board game called Go. I have also played table tennis a lot (I believe it's not much played here in USA but I could show you it can be much fun ^^) and used to play tennis as well. I am usually open to anything new you wanna show/teach me.

Intros, go!
Can I get a paragraph or two introductions for everyone? First name only is fine (or an alias), your school(s), hometown, major, past experiences, how you became interested in space... whatever things like that you feel comfortable putting out there...
Here's me. I'm the program coordinator for the internship.
My name is Jessica, and I'm from Moore, OK. I got a Bachelor of Science in aerospace engineering from the University of Oklahoma after four co-op tours in different directorates at NASA Johnson. Mentored lots of stuff at JSC and OU. I was here at Ames in 2004 in the incredible NASA Academy program. Loved that life-changing summer so much that I went and staffed (Operations/Logistics Manager) for the one at NASA Marshall in 2005 and NASA Glenn in 2006. Did the Summer Session Program equivalent at ISU, and worked at the Oklahoma Space Grant. Moved out here to northern California almost two months ago, just helped with the HUGE Bay Area Yuri's Night party, and am starting work on the Next Generation Exploration Conference, which I attended last year (and at which I met my awesome boyfriend). I think space exploration is the most important thing ever, and the way I can best contribute is by sharing that importance with everyone, and especially keeping young people engaged with and working for their space programs.
PS: put your first name/alias in the tag, if you would :-)
