David Ciochetto

David Ciochetto (ENG’92) of Houghton, Mich., is a research scientist and research engineer in the physics department at Michigan Technological University, where he is studying the microphysical dynamics of clouds. He and his team developed the world’s first laboratory cloud chamber that can generate steady state clouds, meaning that drops of precipitation will settle under gravity, but a cloud can be maintained in a steady state in the chamber for weeks.
