The Personal Touch
In 2012, we had no departures and welcomed four new staff members.
Greg Green
Greg Green arrived at CFHT in June 2012 to join our Operations group
as a machinist/instrument designer, bringing a broad range of
experience. Prior to joining CFHT, Greg was a CNC machinist at
Accutech CNC creating prototype parts primarily for the automotive
and office furniture industries as well as military contracts, highly
sensitive medical prototypes and nuclear projects. As a hobby, Greg
builds custom motorcycles and hot rods and has had success at the
highest international level of custom motorcycle competition. Both
Greg and his wife Jennifer look forward to starting a new life in Hawaii
and with the CFHT family.
Tien Nguyen
Tien Nguyen joined the Corporation in July 2012 as a Systems
Administrator. His main duties are maintaining and enhancing the
computer systems and applications used by CFHT's staff and scientists
on a daily basis. Before coming to CFHT, Tien was doing systems
administration at the Neurological Institute of Montreal, in a group
conducting brain imaging research within the CANARIE sponsored
project Canadian Brain Research Network (CBrain). In his spare time,
he enjoys exploring the unique beauty of the Big Island.
