David Ciochetto

David Ciochetto (ENG’92) of Houghton, Mich., is coordinating the Pi Chamber at Michigan Tech University. He writes that the Pi Chamber is the only cloud chamber in the world where researchers can control the level of turbulence in a laboratory setting while simulating clouds from site level up to 69,000 feet in the atmosphere. (He adds that in cylindrical configuration, the working volume in the Pi Chamber is 3.14159 cubic meters.) The atmospheric sciences group at MTU looks forward to collaborating with scientists from around the world, Ciochetto says. Contact him at david.ciochetto@mtu.edu.
