2. Name: Teresa Lappin
Company: University of Arizona Steward Observatory
Job Title: Research Specialist, CCD Lab
Area of Study: Earth and Space sciences
Personal information: I became interested in astronomy in 7th grade. I built my first telescope when I was in 9th grade. After graduating from high school, I went into the University of Arizona astronomy program. In my sophmore year I switched to physics. I graduated with a BS in physics in 1989. I have been very lucky to have always had a job in astronomy. My last job was operating a telescope at the Harvard-Smithsonian Whipple Observatory. I am very active in amateur astronomy and the local amateur astronomy organization, serving as president of the group for 3 years. Public education in astronomy is very important to me. I take my telescope to local schools so kids can look through it. In fact, once a month I go to the elementary school I attended to teach astronomy to students and their parents. My current job is a research specialist in the CCD Lab at Steward Observatory where we make CCDs for observatories around the world. (CCDs are in most instruments used on optical telescopes-they are very similar to what's in most video cameras.) My specialty is thin coatings on the CCDs and testing the CCDs. I use physics, astronomy, and chemistry in my job and use computers extensively.
